Ca: Va ser llavors quan van veure la Laia asseguda a una taula al costat de la finestra.

Ca: Martí i Jordi es van mirar i van començar a xerrar sobre qui aniria a parlar amb ella.

Ca: Finalment, els dos van decidir que anirien tots dos per presentar-se.
En: Finally, the two decided that they would both go to introduce themselves.

Ca: Quan van arribar a la taula de Laia, van córrer les cadires i se li van presentar.
En: When they reached Laia's table, they ran around the chairs and introduced themselves to her.

Ca: Laia va somriure i els va dir que estava encantada de conèixer-los, però que ja tenia una cita amb la seva copa de vi.
En: Laia smiled and told them that she was pleased to meet them, but that she already had a date with her glass of wine.

Ca: Martí i Jordi van parlar amb ella una estona més, però van acabar deixant-la sola de nou.
En: Martí and Jordi talked to her for a while longer, but ended up leaving her alone again.

Ca: Mentre bevien les seves cerveses, Martí i Jordi es van adonar que s'estaven sentint una mica sols.
En: While drinking their beers, Martí and Jordi realized that they were feeling a little lonely.

Ca: Van observar al voltant del bar i van veure un grup de nois que jugaven a dards.
En: They looked around the bar and saw a group of guys playing darts.

Ca: Van decidir que intentarien unir-se a ells per passar una bona estona.
En: They decided they would try to join them for a good time.

Ca: El grup de nois els va acollir amb els braços oberts i els va ensenyar a jugar.

Ca: Martí i Jordi ho van fer bastant bé i tots van passar una bona estona jugant i rient plegats.
En: Martí and Jordi did quite well and they all had a good time playing and laughing together.

Ca: Quan van acabar de jugar, Martí i Jordi van tornar a la barra per demanar més begudes.
En: When they finished playing, Martí and Jordi went back to the bar to order more drinks.

Ca: Va ser llavors quan van veure que Laia estava sola de nou, després que la seva companya se n'anés.
En: That's when they saw that Laia was alone again, after her companion left.

Ca: Martí i Jordi van decidir que ja era prou timidesa i que havien de ser valents.
En: Martí and Jordi decided that it was enough shyness and that they had to be brave.

Ca: Van caminar fins a la taula de Laia i li van demanar si volia juntar-se a ells per jugar a dards.

Ca: Van passar una estona increïble i van riure molt.
En: They had an amazing time and laughed a lot.

En: Martí and Jordi realized that they had been too shy in the beginning and saw that sometimes you have to be brave and take risks to meet someone new and have a good time.

Ca: Quan van acabar de jugar, Laia va agraïr Martí i Jordi pel divertit vespre que van passar junts i va dir que els veuria durant la propera nit de divendres al mateix lloc.
En: When they finished playing, Laia thanked Martí and Jordi for the fun evening they spent together and said she would see them next Friday night at the same place.
