The Wild Boar Chorizo Champions

Story Transcript:
Ca: Era un matí assolellat a un poble rural de Catalunya.
En: It was a sunny morning in a rural town in Catalonia.

Ca: Martí i Jordi havien planejat una caminada pel bosc proper, però en el camí es van topar amb un senglar enorme.
En: Martí and Jordi had planned a walk in the nearby forest, but on the way they ran into a huge wild boar.

Ca: El senglar, enfurismat, va començar a córrer cap a ells.
En: The wild boar, enraged, began to run towards them.

Ca: Martí i Jordi van estar a punt de fugir, però van sentir que la Laia els cridava des de fons en broma, suggerint que podrien fer xoriço de senglar en comptes de fugir.
En: Martí and Jordi were about to run away, but they heard Laia jokingly call them from the background, suggesting that they could make wild boar chorizo instead of running away.

Ca: Martí es va quedar bocabadat.
En: Martí was stunned.

Ca: Era una broma molt boja, però s'havia de reconèixer que la carn de porc era una delícia al poble.
En: It was a very crazy joke, but it had to be admitted that pork was a delicacy in the village.

Ca: Jordi, al principi, també es va negar, però es va adonar que això podria ser una oportunitat de provar alguna cosa nova.
En: Jordi, at first, also refused, but realized that this could be an opportunity to try something new.

Ca: Van crear un pland de jocs per caçar el senglar, i així van aconseguir atrapar-lo.
En: They created a game plan to hunt the wild boar, and thus managed to catch it.

Ca: Quan finalment el van tenir sota control, van decidir que seria just convertir-lo en xoriço.
En: When they finally got it under control, they decided it would only be fair to turn it into chorizo.

Ca: Van seguir la recepta tradicional del poble, i després de moltes hores de treball, van obtenir el millor xoriço que mai havien tastat.
En: They followed the traditional recipe of the village, and after many hours of work, they obtained the best chorizo they had ever tasted.

Ca: Des de llavors, es dedicaren a caçar senglars per fer xoriço i els habitants del poble van començar a animar-se a fer el mateix.
En: Since then, they dedicated themselves to hunting wild boars to make chorizo and the inhabitants of the town began to be encouraged to do the same.

Ca: Fins i tot, van tornar-se famosos per la seva deliciosa i exclusiva carn de porc.
En: They even became famous for their delicious and exclusive pork.

Ca: Martí, Jordi i Laia van convertir un esgarrifós encontre amb un senglar en una oportunitat per provar alguna cosa nova i millorar les seves vides.
En: Martí, Jordi and Laia turned a terrifying encounter with a wild boar into an opportunity to try something new and improve their lives.
