The Borrowed Umbrella

Nadia left work quickly on a rainy afternoon. She grabbed an umbrella from the stand by the door.

Nadia cepat-cepat meninggalkan kantor pada suatu sore yang hujan. Ia mengambil payung dari tempat payung di dekat pintu.

She opened it outside and walked to the bus stop. The umbrella kept her dry all the way home.

Ia membukanya di luar dan berjalan ke halte bus. Payung itu membuatnya tetap kering sampai di rumah.

At home, Nadia looked at the umbrella closely. It was dark blue, not black like hers.

Di rumah, Nadia memeriksa payung itu dengan saksama. Payung itu berwarna biru tua, bukan hitam seperti miliknya.

She saw small white letters near the handle. They spelled out "J.K."

Ia melihat huruf-huruf putih kecil di dekat gagangnya. Huruf-huruf itu membentuk "J.K."

Nadia's umbrella did not have any letters on it. She picked up the wrong one by mistake.

Payung Nadia tidak punya huruf apa pun. Ia salah mengambil payung.

The next morning, she brought the blue umbrella back to the office. She put it back on the stand.

Keesokan paginya, ia membawa payung biru itu kembali ke kantor. Ia menaruhnya kembali di tempat payung.

A coworker named Jonah walked over. "Did you see my umbrella?" he asked. "It's dark blue with my initials."

Seorang rekan kerja bernama Jonah menghampirinya. "Kamu lihat payungku?" tanyanya. "Warnanya biru tua dengan inisialku."

"I think I took it home by mistake," Nadia said. "I'm very sorry. Here it is."

"Sepertinya aku salah membawanya pulang," kata Nadia. "Maaf sekali. Ini dia."

Jonah smiled. "No problem. Rainy days confuse everyone's umbrellas."

Jonah tersenyum. "Tidak apa-apa. Hari hujan membuat payung semua orang tertukar."

Nadia found her own black umbrella under her desk. It was there the whole time.

Nadia menemukan payung hitamnya sendiri di bawah mejanya. Payung itu ada di sana sejak tadi.

She laughed and told Jonah the whole story. They both agreed to check umbrellas carefully next time.

Ia tertawa dan menceritakan seluruh kejadian itu kepada Jonah. Mereka berdua sepakat untuk memeriksa payung dengan teliti lain kali.
