Capítol 6. El gegant del pit.

Chapter 6. The chest giant.

M'havien regalat els pots, m'havien passat moltes coses i havia viscut moltes aventures.

They had gifted me the jars, a lot of things had happened to me, and I had lived many adventures.

I prou que ho sabeu, havia après a fer un munt de galetes diferents.

I was enough that you know, I had learned to make a lot of different cookies.

Hi havia, però, en tot plegat, alguna cosa que encara no m'acabava d'equadrar

There was, however, something in all of this that still didn’t quite add up for me.

i esperava poder-ho resoldre aquell dissabte.

and I hoped to be able to resolve it that Saturday.

La setmana se m'havia fet llarguíssima.

The week had felt extremely long to me.

Dilluns, dimarts, dimecres, dijous, divendres...

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday...

I per fi, dissabte.

And finally, Saturday.

Us haig de confessar que havia pres una decisió.

I must confess to you that I had made a decision.

Obriria la botiga només al matí.

I would only open the shop in the morning.

La tarda me la vaig reservar tota sencera per obrir el pot.

I set aside the whole afternoon to open the jar.

L'ocasió s'ho mereixia i així ho vaig fer.

The occasion deserved it, and that's what I did.

Que llarga se'm va fer l'espera.

The wait felt so long to me.

I això que vaig estar ben entretinguda i vaig vendre força.

And the thing is that I was quite busy and sold a lot.

És més, vaig vendre dues coses que feia anys que tenia a la botiga

What's more, I sold two things that I had in the store for years.

i que em pensava que no vendria mai.

And I thought it would never come.

Un coixí antic on hi havia brodada la frase

An old pillow on which the phrase was embroidered.

cosa dolenta fora del ventre.

bad thing outside the womb.

I això que vaig fer.

And that is what I did.

Ho diuen això a casa vostra?

Do you say this at your home?

El meu avi ho deia sempre just abans de fer un pet.

My grandfather always said it just before farting.

Cosa dolenta fora del ventre, deia.

Something bad outside the womb, he said.

Ah, i també vaig vendre una cantimplora feta de ganxet.

Ah, and I also sold a canteen made of crochet.

És evident que no servia per res.

It is clear that it was useless.

Però just aquell dia va entrar a la botiga una senyora

But just that day a lady came into the store.

que em va fer saber que col·leccionava cantimplores

that made me aware that he/she collected water bottles

i que no n'havia vist mai cap com aquella.

and I had never seen one like that.

Tot plegat em va distreure força.

All in all, it distracted me quite a bit.

Però tot i això, no podia parar de pensar en el sisè pot.

But despite this, I couldn't stop thinking about the sixth pot.

Tenia el pressentiment que com que era l'últim

I had a feeling that since it was the last one.

em guardava una sorpresa.

He was keeping a surprise for me.

No m'equivocava.

I was not mistaken.

Però tampoc m'esperava que la sorpresa seria tan i tan gran.

But I also didn't expect that the surprise would be so, so great.

Per fi va arribar l'esperat moment.

The long-awaited moment finally arrived.

Vaig obrir el sisè pot i em vaig treure els papers.

I opened the sixth jar and took out the papers.

A hores d'ara ja sabia com funcionava.

By now I already knew how it worked.

Primer havia de fer la recepta de les galetes.

First, I had to make the cookie recipe.

Som-hi, vaig pensar.

Let's go, I thought.

Per sort també tenia tots els ingredients.

Fortunately, I also had all the ingredients.

Farina, sucre, llet...

Flour, sugar, milk...

romaní...

romance...

Les galetes del sisè pot portaven romaní.

The sixth-grade cookies had rosemary.

Heu tastat mai el romaní?

Have you ever tasted rosemary?

Jo sempre en tinc.

I always have some.

En poso a les patates, quan les faig al forn, a la verdura...

I put it on the potatoes, when I bake them, on the vegetables...

Vaig seguir les instruccions al peu de la lletra.

I followed the instructions to the letter.

I ara ja m'hi havia acostumat.

And now I had already gotten used to it.

Vaig mossegar la galeta

I bit the cookie.

sabent que amb la queixalada arribaria també el moment màgic.

knowing that with the bite would also come the magical moment.

Opa!

Hey!

Sembla que soc en un poble.

It seems that I am in a village.

Però no sé quin deu ser.

But I don't know which one it must be.

No sembla pas gaire gran.

It doesn't seem very big.

Tot que ho foi,

Even though it was,

el nostre gegant se'n torna cap a Caldes.

Our giant is heading back to Caldes.

Quan anava pel camí que voreia,

As I was walking along the path that bordered,

ja que ell serà un caminant,

since he will be a walker,

caminant, se li va fer de llet

walking, it became milk for him

i es va posar a dormir al ras.

and he/she went to sleep in the open air.

La nit era tan gèl·lida

The night was so chilly.

que sense adonar-se'n

that without realizing it

es va quedar congelat.

he was left frozen.

I així

And thus

va morir en Farell.

Em va saber greu. Quina pena.

I'm sorry to hear that. What a shame.

Allò, de veritat, que no m'ho esperava.

Darrere Vallvidrera,

Behind Vallvidrera,

a la línia de l'horitzó,

Vaig pensar que això devia ser fa molt,

que ja no es pot veure. Una llàstima, també.

Generalment es creu

que el gegant del Pi és el Farell

El gegant de la ciutat seria el gegant americà

A cas m'explicaven que això del gegant del Pi

els gegants de la ciutat van ballar

pel centre de la Rambla,

que aleshores era una mica enlairada
