The Lost Recipe Card

Zainab's family has one very old recipe card. It has her great-grandmother's bread recipe on it. They use it only on special days.

Keluarga Zainab punya satu kartu resep yang sangat tua. Di kartu itu tertulis resep roti buatan buyutnya. Mereka hanya memakainya pada hari-hari istimewa.

Today is a special family lunch. Zainab looks in the recipe box for the card. The card is not in its usual place.

Hari ini ada makan siang keluarga yang istimewa. Zainab mencari kartu itu di kotak resep. Kartu itu tidak ada di tempat biasanya.

She looks through every kitchen drawer. She checks the counter and the shelf. No one can find the old card.

Ia memeriksa setiap laci dapur. Ia memeriksa meja dan rak. Tak seorang pun bisa menemukan kartu tua itu.

Zainab feels a wave of worry. Lunch is only one hour away. The bread cannot happen without the card.

Zainab merasa cemas. Makan siang tinggal satu jam lagi. Roti itu tidak bisa dibuat tanpa kartunya.

She asks her family members for help. Her father checks the living room shelves. Her mother checks the boxes in the hallway.

Ia meminta bantuan anggota keluarganya. Ayahnya memeriksa rak-rak di ruang tamu. Ibunya memeriksa kotak-kotak di lorong.

Her little brother remembers something important. "Mom had it in the living room," he says. Zainab runs to the living room quickly.

Adik laki-lakinya teringat sesuatu yang penting. "Ibu tadi memegangnya di ruang tamu," katanya. Zainab berlari ke ruang tamu.

She looks inside an old cookbook on the shelf. The recipe card sits between two pages. Her mother used it as a bookmark by mistake.

Ia melihat ke dalam sebuah buku resep tua di rak. Kartu resep itu terselip di antara dua halaman. Ibunya memakainya sebagai pembatas buku tanpa sengaja.

Zainab feels a rush of relief. She holds the old card carefully. She brings it to the kitchen right away.

Zainab merasa sangat lega. Ia memegang kartu tua itu dengan hati-hati. Ia langsung membawanya ke dapur.

The family makes the special bread together. The kitchen fills with a familiar smell. Everyone gathers around the table happily.

Keluarga itu membuat roti istimewa bersama-sama. Dapur dipenuhi aroma yang sudah dikenal. Semua orang berkumpul di sekitar meja dengan gembira.
