"Call the nurse, quickly!"Ca: "La tensió es va dissipar gradualment a mesura que el personal de l’escola arribava i Marta recuperava l'aire.En: The tension gradually dissipated as the school staff

gasps.Ca: Quan l'enrenou va acabar, molts estudiants que estaven a prop es van fixar en la generositat i l’agilitat de Núria.En: When the commotion was over, many students nearby noticed Núria's generosity and agility.Ca: Jordi, amb un somriure d’admiració, va donar unes copets a l'espatlla de Núria.En: Jordi, with a smile of admiration, patted Núria's shoulder.Ca: "Ets increïble, sempre has estat una gran amiga", li va dir.En: "You're incredible, you've always been a great friend," he told her.Ca: Aquella nit, mentre les fulles cruixien sota els seus peus de camí a casa, Núria va sentir una satisfacció que mai havia experimentat abans.En: That night, as the leaves crunched beneath her feet on the way home, Núria felt a satisfaction she had never experienced before.Ca: No eren només les paraules d’apreciació o les mirades reconegudes.En: It wasn't just the words of appreciation or the recognizing looks.Ca: Era la certesa que, en ajudar Marta, havia trobat el seu lloc, la seva importància i confiança en si mateixa.En: It was the certainty that, in helping Marta, she had found her place, her importance, and confidence in herself.Ca: Finalment havia après que ser valuosa no

Just being authentic and following her heart.Ca: Així, amb el somriure de Marta gravat al seu cap, va deixar que l'alegria de la Castanyada la portés en una nova direcció.En: Thus, with Marta's smile etched in her mind, she let the joy of la Castanyada lead her in a new direction.
