The Paper Map of the Old Town

Franco walked into the old town to see the sights. He followed a map on his phone at first.

Franco berjalan ke kota tua untuk melihat tempat-tempat menarik. Awalnya ia mengikuti peta di ponselnya.

Halfway through the old streets, his phone died. The screen went black in his hand.

Di tengah jalan-jalan tua itu, ponselnya mati. Layarnya menjadi gelap di tangannya.

Franco looked around at the narrow, winding streets. Every street looked the same to him. He did not know the way back to his hotel.

Franco memandang jalan-jalan yang sempit dan berliku di sekelilingnya. Baginya, setiap jalan tampak sama. Ia tidak tahu jalan kembali ke hotelnya.

Franco remembered the paper map from his hotel desk. He pulled it out of his jacket pocket.

Franco teringat peta kertas dari meja hotelnya. Ia menariknya keluar dari saku jaketnya.

The little map showed every street by name. He found the town square on the paper map. His hotel sat two streets past the square.

Peta kecil itu menunjukkan setiap jalan lengkap dengan namanya. Ia menemukan alun-alun kota di peta kertas itu. Hotelnya berada dua jalan setelah alun-alun.

Franco folded the map and started walking again. He passed a bakery with bread in the window. He passed a fountain with three stone birds.

Franco melipat peta itu dan mulai berjalan lagi. Ia melewati toko roti dengan roti di etalasenya. Ia melewati air mancur dengan tiga patung burung dari batu.

Soon the hotel sign appeared just ahead. Franco walked inside and asked for his phone charger.

Tak lama kemudian papan nama hotel muncul tepat di depan. Franco masuk dan meminta pengisi daya ponselnya.

The clerk lent him one from behind the desk. Franco sat in the lobby and let his phone charge. He kept the paper map folded in his pocket.

Petugas resepsionis meminjamkan satu dari balik meja. Franco duduk di lobi dan membiarkan ponselnya terisi. Ia menyimpan peta kertas itu, terlipat, di sakunya.
