El sol ja començava a amagar-se darrere les muntanyes, tenyint el cel amb colors de tardor.
The sun was already starting to hide behind the mountains, tinting the sky with autumn colors.
A la petita vila de Montclar, la Castanyada estava en plena ebullició.
In the small village of Montclar, the Castanyada was in full swing.
Les persones passejaven pels carrers, olorant les castanyes torrades i els moniatos dolços.
People strolled through the streets, smelling the roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes.
Els crits dels nens corrien amb el vent, i les rialles ressonaven per tot arreu.
The shouts of the children ran with the wind, and laughter resonated everywhere.
Martí havia sentit parlar d'una llegenda. Parlaven d'un castanyer antic, amagat al cor de bosc, que concedia un desig la nit de Tots Sants.
Martí had heard of a legend: they spoke of an ancient chestnut tree, hidden in the heart of the forest, that granted a wish on the night of All Saints' Day.
Se li removia la curiositat.
His curiosity was piqued.
Ell volia ser el primer en provar si era cert.
He wanted to be the first to test if it was true.
A la mateixa vegada, volia trobar el valor per confessar els seus sentiments a la Gemma, la seva amiga de tota la vida.
At the same time, he wanted to find the courage to confess his feelings to Gemma, his lifelong friend.
Gemma, escèptica però amable, seguia als seus amics.

Ella no creia en històries de desigs, però esperava, en secret, una reconciliació amb la seva germana.
She didn't believe in wish stories, but secretly hoped for a reconciliation with her sister.
Eulàlia, en canvi, desitjava una aventura memorable.

Creia en la màgia del moment i volia que ells tres es fessin més propers.
She believed in the magic of the moment and wanted the three of them to become closer.
Els vilatans advertien dels perills del bosc. Era famós per ser un laberint de camins perduts i paisatges enganyosos.
The villagers warned of the dangers of the forest, famous for being a labyrinth of lost paths and deceptive landscapes.
Malgrat els avisos, Martí estava decidit.
Despite the warnings, Martí was determined.
Va convèncer a Gemma i Eulàlia; els va recordar la importància de l'amistat.
He convinced Gemma and Eulàlia, reminding them of the importance of friendship.
Així, aquella nit fosca, marxa van cap al bosc, amb les fulles cruixint sota els seus peus.
So, on that dark night, they headed into the forest, with leaves crunching beneath their feet.
La lluna il·luminava la seva ruta, mentre els arbres els feien companyia amb els seus remors.
The moon illuminated their path, while the trees kept them company with their whispers.
Finalment, van arribar al castanyer.
Finally, they arrived at the chestnut tree.
Era majestuós, amb branques que semblaven abraçar el cel.

El vent començà a bufar amb força, fent tremolar l'aire al seu voltant.
The wind began to blow hard, making the air around them tremble.
Els tres amics es van mirar.
The three friends looked at each other.
Ara, havien de decidir qui faria el desig primer.
Now, they had to decide who would make the wish first.
Martí va respirar profundament, preparat per parlar, però va sentir un nus a la gola.
Martí took a deep breath, ready to speak, but felt a lump in his throat.
Gemma va notar la seva lluita interna i li va somriure.
Gemma noticed his internal struggle and smiled at him.
"Fem el desig junts. Un vincle d'amistat", va suggerir.
"Let's make the wish together. A bond of friendship," she suggested.
Eulàlia va aprovar, excitada per l'harmonia que aquesta decisió portaria.
Eulàlia agreed, excited by the harmony this decision would bring.
Així van fer el desig, junts, desitjant que mai es separessin, que la seva amistat fos forta i eterna.
So they made the wish, together, wishing they would never part, that their friendship would be strong and eternal.
Un caliu els va omplir el cor, i en aquell moment, tots van sentir una connexió màgica.
A warmth filled their hearts, and at that moment, they all felt a magical connection.
Amb l'aire ple de nous sentiments, Martí va trobar el valor per dir-li a Gemma com se sentia.
With the air full of new feelings, Martí found the courage to tell Gemma how he felt.
Ella l'escoltà atentament, i en veure la sinceritat en els seus ulls, li va agrair.
She listened attentively, and seeing the sincerity in his eyes, she thanked him.
La seva amistat només es va fer més forta.

Gemma, inspirada pel moment, va decidir que faria el primer pas per trucar la seva germana.

Tornaven al poble, mentre el vent havia calmat i el silenci del bosc era ara acollidor.

Se sentien contents, amb els cors oberts a noves esperances.
They felt happy, with their hearts open to new hopes.
Al final, van entendre que un desig compartit tenia més força que qualsevol altre.
In the end, they understood that a shared wish had more strength than any other.
I així, amb les jovials flamarades de la Castanyada reflectides a la seva roba, Martí, Gemma i Eulàlia van saber que havien viscut una nit que mai oblidarien.
And so, with the jovial flames of the Castanyada reflected on their clothes, Martí, Gemma, and Eulàlia knew they had experienced a night they would never forget.
Un desig fet feia renéixer un nou vincle inquebrantable entre ells.
A wish made had given rise to a new, unbreakable bond between them.
