Lost on the River Trail

Odette and Finn run along the river trail every Saturday morning. Today, they try a new part of the trail.

Odette dan Finn berlari di sepanjang jalur tepi sungai setiap Sabtu pagi. Hari ini, mereka mencoba bagian jalur yang baru.

The path forks near an old wooden sign. The sign is old, and the words are hard to read.

Jalurnya bercabang di dekat papan kayu tua. Papan itu sudah lapuk, dan tulisannya sulit dibaca.

"I think it says the lake is this way," Finn says. He points left.

"Kurasa tulisannya bilang danaunya lewat sini," kata Finn. Ia menunjuk ke kiri.

"I think it says right," Odette says. "Let's go left, because you saw it first."

"Kurasa tulisannya bilang kanan," kata Odette. "Ya sudah, kita ke kiri saja, soalnya kamu yang lihat duluan."

They run down the left path for ten minutes. The trail gets narrow and rocky.

Mereka berlari di jalur kiri selama sepuluh menit. Jalurnya semakin sempit dan berbatu.

"This doesn't feel right," Odette says. "Maybe we are on the wrong path."

"Rasanya ini tidak benar," kata Odette. "Mungkin kita salah jalur."

They stop and look at their phone map. The blue dot shows them far from the lake trail.

Mereka berhenti dan melihat peta di ponsel. Titik biru menunjukkan mereka jauh dari jalur menuju danau.

"We went the wrong way," Finn says. "The sign meant right, not left."

"Kita salah arah," kata Finn. "Maksud papan itu kanan, bukan kiri."

They turn around and run back to the fork. This time, they take the right path.

Mereka berbalik dan berlari kembali ke percabangan. Kali ini, mereka mengambil jalur kanan.

Ten minutes later, they see the lake through the trees. Blue water sparkles in the morning sun.

Sepuluh menit kemudian, mereka melihat danau di sela pepohonan. Air biru berkilauan di bawah matahari pagi.

"We found it," Odette says. She laughs. "Next time, I choose the direction."

"Kita menemukannya," kata Odette. Ia tertawa. "Lain kali, aku yang pilih arahnya."

"Deal," Finn says. "But I still think the sign was confusing."

"Setuju," kata Finn. "Tapi aku masih merasa papan itu membingungkan."
