The Museum Robot Guide

Ezio takes a tour at the science museum. The museum has a new robot guide. It is tall and white. It has a round face and a blue light on its head.

Ezio mengikuti tur di museum sains. Museum itu punya robot pemandu baru. Robot itu tinggi dan berwarna putih. Wajahnya bulat dan di kepalanya ada lampu biru.

"Please follow my light," the robot says in a flat voice.

"Silakan ikuti lampu saya," kata robot itu dengan suara datar.

Ten people follow the robot through the planet room. They pass the magnet table. In the space room, the robot stops under a huge rocket.

Sepuluh orang mengikuti robot itu melewati ruang planet. Mereka melewati meja magnet. Di ruang antariksa, robot itu berhenti di bawah sebuah roket raksasa.

"Welcome to the space room. Here you can see the biggest rocket in the…"

"Selamat datang di ruang antariksa. Di sini Anda dapat melihat roket terbesar di…"

The robot stops. Its blue light goes out. Its arms stay in the air.

Robot itu berhenti. Lampu birunya padam. Lengannya tetap terangkat di udara.

Everyone waits. A man taps the robot's arm. Nothing happens.

Semua orang menunggu. Seorang pria menepuk lengan robot itu. Tidak terjadi apa-apa.

"I think its battery is dead," says Ezio. He looks around for a staff member, but nobody is there.

"Kurasa baterainya habis," kata Ezio. Ia mencari-cari petugas museum, tetapi tak ada siapa pun di sana.

A girl of nine raises her hand. Her name is Ruth. "I know every room in this museum," she says. "I come here every Saturday with my grandmother. I can finish the tour."

Seorang gadis berusia sembilan tahun mengangkat tangan. Namanya Ruth. "Aku tahu setiap ruangan di museum ini," katanya. "Aku datang ke sini setiap Sabtu bersama nenekku. Aku bisa menyelesaikan tur ini."

Ezio looks at the others. "Why not?" he says.

Ezio menoleh kepada yang lain. "Kenapa tidak?" katanya.

Ruth walks to the front. She tells them how the rocket flew. At the magnet table, she shows them a trick. Two magnets push each other away if you hold them right. In the last room, she knows the best place for a photo.

Ruth berjalan ke depan. Ia menceritakan bagaimana roket itu terbang. Di meja magnet, ia menunjukkan sebuah trik. Dua magnet bisa saling menolak kalau dipegang dengan cara yang tepat. Di ruang terakhir, ia tahu tempat terbaik untuk berfoto.

Ezio learns more from Ruth in ten minutes than from the robot.

Ezio belajar lebih banyak dari Ruth dalam sepuluh menit daripada dari robot itu.

At the end, a woman in a museum shirt hears the story. She gives Ruth a badge that says "Guide of the Day." Ruth pins it on her coat.

Di akhir tur, seorang perempuan berseragam museum mendengar ceritanya. Ia memberi Ruth sebuah lencana bertuliskan "Pemandu Hari Ini". Ruth menyematkannya di mantelnya.

Behind them, the robot's light comes on again. "Welcome to the museum," it says. "Please follow my light."

Di belakang mereka, lampu robot itu menyala lagi. "Selamat datang di museum," katanya. "Silakan ikuti lampu saya."

Nobody follows it.

Tak seorang pun mengikutinya.
