Two Bags for the Mountain Trip

Gwen and Elio pack the car for a road trip. They plan to drive up into the mountains. The car trunk is small this time.

Gwen dan Elio mengemas mobil untuk perjalanan darat. Mereka berencana berkendara naik ke pegunungan. Bagasi mobil kali ini kecil.

"We can't fit everything," Gwen says. She holds up two bags on the ground. One bag has warm coats and gloves. The other bag has the tent and sleeping mats.

"Kita tidak bisa memuat semuanya," kata Gwen. Ia mengangkat dua tas di tanah. Satu tas berisi mantel hangat dan sarung tangan. Tas yang lain berisi tenda dan alas tidur.

"We already have coats in our backpacks," Elio says. "We need the tent bag up there," he says.

"Kita sudah punya mantel di ransel," kata Elio. "Kita butuh tas tenda itu di atas sana," katanya.

Gwen thinks about the cold mountain nights. "But the mountains get very cold at night," she says.

Gwen memikirkan malam-malam pegunungan yang dingin. "Tapi pegunungan sangat dingin pada malam hari," katanya.

"Let's just take both, and skip the cooler," Elio says.

"Bawa saja keduanya, dan tinggalkan kotak pendingin," kata Elio.

They squeeze both bags into the trunk together. The cooler stays behind in the garage. Gwen closes the trunk and checks the lock.

Mereka menjejalkan kedua tas itu ke bagasi bersama-sama. Kotak pendingin tertinggal di garasi. Gwen menutup bagasi dan memeriksa kuncinya.

They drive out of the city and onto the highway. Tall trees stand along the road. Mountains rise ahead under a clear blue sky.

Mereka berkendara keluar dari kota menuju jalan raya. Pohon-pohon tinggi berdiri di sepanjang jalan. Pegunungan menjulang di depan di bawah langit biru yang cerah.

Elio turns on the radio and hums along. Gwen watches the valley disappear behind them.

Elio menyalakan radio dan bersenandung mengikutinya. Gwen memandangi lembah yang menghilang di belakang mereka.

By afternoon, snow appears on the mountain tops. They stop the car near a small cabin.

Menjelang sore, salju tampak di puncak-puncak gunung. Mereka menghentikan mobil di dekat sebuah pondok kecil.

Gwen zips up her warm coat right away. "Good thing we packed the coats," she says.

Gwen langsung menutup ritsleting mantel hangatnya. "Untung kita membawa mantelnya," katanya.

They carry the tent bag down to the campsite.

Mereka membawa tas tenda turun ke tempat berkemah.
