La brisa marina estava tossudament present, fent ondular lleugerament els cabells de Marta, Jordi i Anna.

The sea breeze was stubbornly present, slightly waving the hair of Marta, Jordi and Anna.

El sol escalfava les seves pells mentre mesuraven els ingredients per una paella tradicional a la platja.

The sun warmed their skins as they measured the ingredients for a traditional paella on the beach.

Els tres amics rius sota les seves ganes d'assaborir el plat que estaven a punt de preparar.

The three friends laughed under their desire to savor the dish they were about to prepare.

Marta va prendre la safata de pollastre i Jordi les closques per a la paella, mentre Anna s'encarregava de tallar la verdura.

Marta took the chicken tray and Jordi the shells for the pan, while Anna was in charge of cutting the vegetables.

El so de les onades que es trencaven a la sorra i el soroll de les fulles de la vegetació que es movien per la brisa creaven una banda sonora relaxant.

The sound of the waves breaking on the sand and the rustle of the leaves of the vegetation moving in the breeze created a relaxing soundtrack.

Després d'una estona, van arribar al moment de posar l'arròs a la paella.

After a while, it was time to put the rice in the pan.

Marta va comprovar les bosses i va adonar-se que no hi havia cap rastre d'arròs.

Marta checked the bags and noticed that there was no sign of rice.

Van buscar en tots els racons dels seus sacs d'equipatge, però no van trobar res.

They searched every nook and cranny of their luggage bags, but found nothing.

"T'ho vas deixar a casa?

"Did you leave it at home?"

" pregunta Jordi sorprès.

asks Jordi surprised.

"Qué més voldria jo," va respondre Marta, "però tinc una idea.

"What else would I want," replied Marta, "but I have an idea."

"Van mirar cap a la botiga més propera i hi van anar a córrer.

They looked towards the nearest store and ran there.

Va haver-hi una gran cua allà, així que van haver d'esperar una estona.

There was a big queue there so they had to wait for a while.

Finalment, va ser el seu torn i van aconseguir el que necessitaven per a la seva paella.

Finally, it was their turn and they got what they needed for their pan.

Després de comprar l'arròs, van tornar a la platja corrent.

After buying the rice, they ran back to the beach.

Van intentar recuperar el temps perdut, però tot i els seus esforços, la paella no va sortir bé.

They tried to make up for lost time, but despite their efforts, the pan did not turn out well.

Va cremar-se i va quedar irreparable.

It burned and was beyond repair.

"Mare meva," va exclamar Anna, "ja és la segona vegada aquest any que un dels nostres plats fracassa.

"My mother," exclaimed Anna, "this is the second time this year that one of our dishes has failed."

"Van decidir fer una barbacoa en lloc de la paella i van gaudir de la seva contribució especial a la combinació de plats.

They decided to make a barbecue instead of the pan and enjoyed their special contribution to the combination of dishes.

Deixant-se perdres pel moment, van riure junts mentre les flames il·luminaven la seva nit feliçment.

Losing themselves in the moment, they laughed together as the flames lit up their night happily.

Era una bona experiència, encara que no sortís exactament com havien planejat.

It was a good experience, even if it didn't go exactly as planned.

De ben segur, estarien més preparats la pròxima vegada, pensaven en els seus caps mentre tornaven cap a casa.

Surely they would be more prepared next time, they thought to their heads as they headed home.
