A Surprise for Noah

It is a normal Saturday for Noah. He wakes up and makes his bed. He walks downstairs for breakfast.

Hari Sabtu ini biasa saja bagi Noah. Ia bangun dan merapikan tempat tidurnya. Ia turun ke lantai bawah untuk sarapan.

The kitchen is quiet, and nobody is there. His mom left a short note on the table. "Please buy milk from the store," it says.

Dapur sunyi, dan tidak ada siapa-siapa di sana. Ibunya meninggalkan catatan pendek di atas meja. "Tolong belikan susu di toko," tulisnya.

Noah puts on his shoes and walks to the store. He picks a carton of milk and pays for it. Then he walks back home.

Noah memakai sepatu dan berjalan ke toko. Ia memilih sekotak susu dan membayarnya. Lalu ia berjalan pulang.

At home, the front door is unlocked, but the lights are off. Noah opens the door slowly and steps inside.

Di rumah, pintu depan tidak terkunci, tetapi lampu-lampu mati. Noah membuka pintu perlahan dan melangkah masuk.

"Surprise!" everyone shouts at once.

"Kejutan!" teriak semua orang serempak.

His family and friends stand in the living room. There are balloons, a big cake, and a banner on the wall. His best friend Caleb holds a small gift box.

Keluarga dan teman-temannya berdiri di ruang tamu. Ada balon, kue besar, dan spanduk di dinding. Sahabatnya, Caleb, memegang sebuah kotak hadiah kecil.

"Happy birthday, Noah!" Caleb says, and he laughs. "We planned this for two weeks!"

"Selamat ulang tahun, Noah!" kata Caleb sambil tertawa. "Kami merencanakan ini selama dua minggu!"

Noah looks around the room. He sees his cousins, his neighbors, and his teacher from school. Everyone is smiling and clapping.

Noah menatap seisi ruangan. Ia melihat sepupu-sepupunya, para tetangganya, dan gurunya dari sekolah. Semua orang tersenyum dan bertepuk tangan.

"I didn't know about any of this," Noah says. He puts down the milk and walks toward the cake.

"Aku sama sekali tidak tahu soal ini," kata Noah. Ia meletakkan susu dan berjalan menuju kue.

"Make a wish," his mom says, "and blow out the candles."

"Buatlah permohonan," kata ibunya, "lalu tiup lilinnya."

Noah leans over the cake and blows out all the candles. Everyone claps and cheers loudly.

Noah membungkuk di atas kue dan meniup semua lilinnya. Semua orang bertepuk tangan dan bersorak keras.

"Now let's cut the cake," Noah says, picking up the knife.

"Sekarang ayo kita potong kuenya," kata Noah sambil mengambil pisau.
