Lily berumur tujuh tahun. Dia tinggal bersama Ibu dan adiknya, Sam, di sebuah desa kecil di Kanada. Sam berumur empat tahun. Sekarang bulan Oktober, dan udara dingin. Daun-daun berwarna merah dan kuning.

Lily is seven years old. She lives with Mum and her brother Sam in a small village in Canada. Sam is four. It is October, and it is cold. The leaves are red and yellow.

Hari ini hari Sabtu. Ibu, Lily, dan Sam pergi ke tempat Farmer Brown. Farmer Brown punya ladang yang luas. Ladang itu ada di atas bukit. Rumah Ibu, Lily, dan Sam ada di bawah.

Today is Saturday. Mum, Lily and Sam walk to Farmer Brown’s. Farmer Brown has a big field. The field is up on a hill. Mum, Lily and Sam’s house is down below.

Di ladang ada banyak labu. Banyak sekali labu! Ada labu kecil dan labu besar. Ada labu oranye, hijau, dan putih.

There are pumpkins in the field. Lots and lots of pumpkins! There are small pumpkins and big pumpkins. There are orange, green and white pumpkins.

“Kita ambil dua labu,” kata Ibu. “Satu untuk Lily dan satu untuk Sam.”

“We’re taking two pumpkins,” says Mum. “One for Lily and one for Sam.”

Sam langsung menemukan sebuah labu. Labu itu sangat kecil, sekecil apel. “Ini labuku!” kata Sam. “Dia labu bayi.”

Sam finds a pumpkin right away. It is very small, as small as an apple. “This is my pumpkin!” says Sam. “It’s a baby.”

Lily mencari lama. Dia ingin labu yang besar. Labu yang sangat, sangat besar. Lalu dia melihatnya. Labu itu bulat dan oranye dan sangat, sangat besar. Labu itu sama besar dengan Sam!

Lily looks for a long time. She wants a big pumpkin. A very, very big pumpkin. Then she sees it. It is round and orange and very, very big. It is as big as Sam!

“Aku mau yang ini!” seru Lily. Ibu tertawa. “Lily, itu terlalu besar.” “Tidak, Ibu. Aku bisa membawanya.”

“I’ll take that one!” shouts Lily. Mum laughs. “Lily, that one is too big.” “No, Mum. I can carry it.”

Lily memeluk labu itu dengan kedua tangannya. Dia menarik dan menarik. Labu itu tetap di tanah.

Lily puts her arms around the pumpkin. She pulls and pulls. The pumpkin stays on the ground.

Sekarang Ibu mencobanya. Ibu menarik dan menarik. Wajah Ibu menjadi merah. Labu itu tetap di tanah. Sam tertawa. “Ibu merah seperti apel!”

Now Mum tries. She pulls and pulls. Her face goes red. The pumpkin stays on the ground. Sam laughs. “Mum is as red as an apple!”

Farmer Brown datang membawa gerobak dorong. Dia tertawa. “Labu ini sangat berat. Dia raja dari ladang saya!” Farmer Brown dan Ibu bersama-sama mengangkat labu itu ke dalam gerobak dorong. “Hup!”

Farmer Brown comes with a wheelbarrow. He laughs. “That pumpkin is very heavy. It’s the king of my field!” Farmer Brown and Mum lift the pumpkin into the wheelbarrow together. “Hup!”

“Aku yang dorong!” kata Lily. Ibu dan Lily mendorong gerobak dorong itu bersama-sama. Sam membawa labu bayi.

“I’ll push!” says Lily. Mum and Lily push the wheelbarrow together. Sam carries the baby pumpkin.
