The Burnt Rice

Ana wants to cook rice for the first time. Her mom is at work. Ana finds a bag of rice in the kitchen. She reads the words on the bag.

Ana ingin memasak nasi untuk pertama kalinya. Ibunya sedang bekerja. Ana menemukan sekantong beras di dapur. Ia membaca tulisan di kantong itu.

She puts rice and water in a pot. She turns on the stove. She sets the pot on the burner. Then she goes to her room to watch a video.

Ia memasukkan beras dan air ke dalam panci. Ia menyalakan kompor. Ia meletakkan panci di atas api. Lalu ia pergi ke kamarnya untuk menonton video.

Ana watches the video for a long time. She forgets about the rice on the stove. After twenty minutes, she smells something strange.

Ana menonton video itu lama sekali. Ia lupa pada nasi di atas kompor. Setelah dua puluh menit, ia mencium bau aneh.

She runs to the kitchen. Black smoke comes from the pot. Ana turns off the stove fast. She opens the window to let the smoke out.

Ia berlari ke dapur. Asap hitam keluar dari panci. Ana cepat-cepat mematikan kompor. Ia membuka jendela agar asapnya keluar.

She looks inside the pot. The rice is black and dry. It sticks to the bottom of the pot. Ana sighs and empties the pot into the trash.

Ia melihat ke dalam panci. Nasinya hitam dan kering. Nasi itu menempel di dasar panci. Ana menghela napas dan membuang isi panci ke tempat sampah.

She washes the pot with soap and water. She reads the bag again, more slowly this time. The bag gives simple directions. Use two cups of water for one cup of rice.

Ia mencuci panci dengan sabun dan air. Ia membaca kantong itu lagi, kali ini lebih pelan. Kantong itu memberi petunjuk yang sederhana. Gunakan dua cangkir air untuk satu cangkir beras.

Ana measures the rice and water carefully. She puts the pot back on the stove. She sets a timer on her phone for fifteen minutes.

Ana menakar beras dan air dengan teliti. Ia menaruh panci kembali di atas kompor. Ia mengatur pengatur waktu di ponselnya selama lima belas menit.

This time, she stays in the kitchen. She checks the pot every few minutes. The timer rings. She turns off the stove.

Kali ini, ia tetap berada di dapur. Ia memeriksa panci setiap beberapa menit. Pengatur waktu berbunyi. Ia mematikan kompor.

Ana opens the pot. The rice is soft and white. It smells warm and good.

Ana membuka panci. Nasinya lembut dan putih. Baunya hangat dan enak.

She puts some rice on a plate. She takes it to the table.

Ia menaruh sedikit nasi di piring. Ia membawanya ke meja.
