Brumm Takes the Train

Mia is six years old. She has a teddy. The teddy is called Brumm. He is brown and soft, and he has only one ear. Brumm is always with Mia: when she eats, when she plays and at night.

Mia berumur enam tahun. Dia punya boneka beruang. Nama boneka beruang itu Brumm. Dia berwarna cokelat dan lembut, dan dia hanya punya satu telinga. Brumm selalu ada bersama Mia: saat makan, saat bermain, dan pada malam hari.

Today Mia and Dad are going to Grandma’s by train. The journey is long. Two hours! Mia sits by the window. Brumm sits on the table. They see cows, trees and a river.

Hari ini Mia dan Ayah naik kereta ke rumah Nenek. Perjalanannya panjang. Dua jam! Mia duduk di dekat jendela. Brumm duduk di atas meja. Mereka melihat sapi, pohon, dan sungai.

A woman comes through the train. She is wearing a blue jacket and a cap. She is the conductor. “Tickets, please!”

Seorang wanita berjalan melewati kereta. Dia memakai jaket biru dan topi. Dia adalah kondektur wanita. “Tolong tiketnya!”

Dad shows the tickets. The conductor sees Brumm and laughs. “And the teddy? Does he have a ticket too?”

Ayah memperlihatkan tiket-tiket. Kondektur melihat Brumm dan tertawa. “Dan boneka beruang ini? Apakah dia juga punya tiket?”

“No,” says Mia. “He’s still little.” “Then it’s okay,” says the conductor. “Have a good trip!”

“Tidak,” kata Mia. “Dia masih kecil.” “Kalau begitu tidak apa-apa,” kata kondektur. “Selamat menikmati perjalanan!”

Mia gets tired. She closes her eyes. She falls asleep.

Mia merasa mengantuk. Dia menutup matanya. Dia tidur.

“Mia! Wake up! We’re here!” Dad takes the bags. Mia takes her jacket. Quick, quick! They get off. The train goes on.

“Mia! Bangun! Kita sudah sampai!” Ayah mengambil tas-tas. Mia mengambil jaketnya. Cepat, cepat! Mereka turun. Kereta berangkat lagi.

Grandma is standing on the platform. “Hello, Mia! Hello, Brumm!” Mia looks at her hands. There is only the jacket. No Brumm.

Nenek berdiri di peron. “Halo, Mia! Halo, Brumm!” Mia melihat ke tangannya. Di sana hanya ada jaket. Tidak ada Brumm.

“Brumm!” shouts Mia. “Brumm is on the train!” But the train is gone.

“Brumm!” seru Mia. “Brumm ada di dalam kereta!” Tapi kereta sudah pergi.
