A Dog at the Door

It was raining hard on Saturday morning when Ben heard a noise outside. He opened the door and saw a small brown dog. It was wet and cold, and it was barking quietly.

TerjemahanHujan turun deras pada Sabtu pagi ketika Ben mendengar suara di luar. Dia membuka pintu dan melihat seekor anjing cokelat kecil. Anjing itu basah dan kedinginan, dan menggonggong pelan.

The dog had no leash, but it had a red collar. Ben took it inside and dried its fur with an old towel. Then he gave it a warm blanket and filled a water bowl. The dog drank all the water and lay down on the blanket.

TerjemahanAnjing itu tidak memakai tali, tetapi punya kalung merah. Ben membawanya masuk dan mengeringkan bulunya dengan handuk tua. Lalu dia memberinya selimut hangat dan mengisi mangkuk air. Anjing itu meminum semua airnya dan berbaring di atas selimut.

Ben didn't have any pet food, so he gave the dog some chicken. "Who do you belong to?" he asked.

TerjemahanBen tidak punya makanan hewan peliharaan, jadi dia memberi anjing itu sedikit daging ayam. “Kamu milik siapa?” tanyanya.

There was a phone number on the collar. Ben called it. An old woman answered. "A small brown dog? That's Toby!" she said. "Oh, thank you! He ran away two days ago. I looked everywhere, and I called the vet clinic too."

TerjemahanAda nomor telepon di kalung itu. Ben menelepon nomor itu. Seorang wanita tua menjawab. “Anjing cokelat kecil? Itu Toby!” katanya. “Oh, terima kasih! Dia kabur dua hari yang lalu. Saya mencari ke mana-mana, dan saya juga menelepon klinik hewan.”

An hour later, the woman came in a taxi. Toby jumped into her arms. "He needs a bath with shampoo now," she laughed. "And more training!"

TerjemahanSatu jam kemudian, wanita itu datang dengan taksi. Toby melompat ke pelukannya. “Sekarang dia perlu mandi dengan sampo,” katanya sambil tertawa. “Dan lebih banyak latihan!”

Before she left, she said, "My legs are not very strong. Can you walk with Toby sometimes?"

TerjemahanSebelum pergi, dia berkata, “Kaki saya tidak terlalu kuat. Bisakah kamu sesekali mengajak Toby jalan-jalan?”

Now Ben walks Toby every Saturday. A rainy morning gave him a new friend.

TerjemahanSekarang Ben mengajak Toby jalan-jalan setiap Sabtu. Pagi yang hujan memberinya seorang teman baru.
