The Fridge That Kept Ordering Pickles

Mira and Kofi had a smart fridge. It can order food by itself. Last Tuesday, Mira opened the fridge. "We need more pickles, I think," she said. The fridge heard her words and understood something different. It started a weekly pickle order.

Mira dan Kofi punya kulkas pintar. Kulkas itu bisa memesan makanan sendiri. Selasa lalu, Mira membuka kulkas. "Kita perlu lebih banyak acar, sepertinya," katanya. Kulkas itu mendengar kata-katanya dan memahaminya secara berbeda. Ia memulai pesanan acar mingguan.

On Friday, a truck stopped outside their house. The driver carried in six jars of pickles. Mira looked at Kofi and said, "We didn't order this."

Pada hari Jumat, sebuah truk berhenti di depan rumah mereka. Si pengemudi membawa masuk enam stoples acar. Mira menatap Kofi dan berkata, "Kita tidak memesan ini."

"Maybe the fridge did," Kofi said. He opened the fridge app on his phone. The screen showed one order after another, all for pickles.

"Mungkin kulkasnya yang pesan," kata Kofi. Ia membuka aplikasi kulkas di ponselnya. Layar menampilkan satu pesanan demi satu pesanan, semuanya acar.

"I only said it once," Mira said. "Why does it keep ordering more?"

"Aku cuma bilang sekali," kata Mira. "Kenapa dia terus memesan lagi?"

Kofi checked the settings. He found a button called "Repeat This Order Every Week." The fridge turned it on by mistake.

Kofi memeriksa pengaturan. Ia menemukan sebuah tombol bernama "Ulangi Pesanan Ini Setiap Minggu". Kulkas itu mengaktifkannya karena salah paham.

"Here it is," Kofi said. He pressed the button and turned the setting off.

"Ini dia," kata Kofi. Ia menekan tombol itu dan mematikan pengaturannya.

The next day, no truck came. Mira laughed and opened a jar of pickles from the pile. "We have enough pickles for a whole year now," she said.

Keesokan harinya, tak ada truk yang datang. Mira tertawa dan membuka sestoples acar dari tumpukan itu. "Sekarang kita punya acar cukup untuk setahun penuh," katanya.

"At least we know the fridge can hear us," Kofi said.

"Setidaknya kita tahu kulkas ini bisa mendengar kita," kata Kofi.

Mira put six jars in the cupboard. She put two more in the fridge door. She made a plan to check the app every week.

Mira menaruh enam stoples di lemari. Ia menaruh dua lagi di pintu kulkas. Ia membuat rencana untuk memeriksa aplikasi itu setiap minggu.
