Sampul The Campfire That Took Three Tries

Nikolai and Harlow set up camp near the lake before sunset. They gathered wood from the ground around their tent. The wood felt damp from the morning rain. Still, they wanted a fire for dinner.

Nikolai dan Harlow mendirikan tenda di dekat danau sebelum matahari terbenam. Mereka mengumpulkan kayu dari tanah di sekitar tenda mereka. Kayu itu terasa lembap karena hujan pagi tadi. Tetap saja, mereka ingin membuat api unggun untuk makan malam.

Nikolai struck a match and held it to the wood. The wood smoked a little but did not catch. He tried a second match, and then a third. Nothing worked.

Nikolai menyalakan korek api dan mendekatkannya ke kayu. Kayu itu berasap sedikit tetapi tidak menyala. Ia mencoba korek kedua, lalu ketiga. Tidak ada yang berhasil.

"This wood is too wet," Harlow said. "We need dry wood instead." They looked around the campsite for other options.

"Kayu ini terlalu basah," kata Harlow. "Kita butuh kayu kering." Mereka memandang berkeliling perkemahan untuk mencari cara lain.

Harlow noticed a rock ledge near the trail. Under the ledge, the ground stayed completely dry. She found small twigs and dry leaves tucked underneath.

Harlow melihat sebuah tebing batu di dekat jalur. Di bawah tebing itu, tanahnya tetap benar-benar kering. Ia menemukan ranting-ranting kecil dan daun kering terselip di bawahnya.

"Try this," Harlow said, and handed Nikolai the dry tinder. He placed it under the damp wood and struck another match. This time, a small flame caught and grew.

"Coba ini," kata Harlow, dan menyerahkan bahan penyulut kering itu kepada Nikolai. Ia menaruhnya di bawah kayu lembap dan menyalakan korek lagi. Kali ini, api kecil menyala dan membesar.

Nikolai added the dry twigs one by one. Soon, the fire burned steadily. The damp wood dried out on top.

Nikolai menambahkan ranting-ranting kering itu satu per satu. Tak lama, api itu menyala dengan stabil. Kayu yang lembap mengering di atasnya.

Harlow smiled and pulled out the pot for dinner.

Harlow tersenyum dan mengeluarkan panci untuk makan malam.
