Sampul The Missing Classroom Markers

Elowen's art class shared a box of markers. Every color lived inside one plastic box. Every Monday, three or four markers were gone.

Kelas seni Elowen memakai satu kotak spidol bersama. Semua warna ada di dalam satu kotak plastik. Setiap hari Senin, tiga atau empat spidol hilang.

Elowen looked under the tables first. She checked inside desks and backpacks. No markers turned up anywhere.

Elowen memeriksa bawah meja lebih dulu. Ia memeriksa isi laci meja dan ransel. Tidak ada spidol yang ketemu di mana pun.

"Someone takes them home," a classmate said. Elowen was not sure. She decided to watch closely.

"Pasti ada yang membawanya pulang," kata seorang teman sekelas. Elowen tidak yakin. Ia memutuskan untuk mengawasi dengan saksama.

On Friday, she stayed a few minutes late. She watched the classroom door carefully. The school custodian walked in with his cart.

Pada hari Jumat, ia tinggal beberapa menit lebih lama. Ia mengawasi pintu kelas dengan saksama. Petugas kebersihan sekolah masuk bersama keretanya.

He picked up loose markers from the floor. He picked up pencils and erasers too. He placed everything in a small bin.

Ia memungut spidol yang berserakan di lantai. Ia memungut pensil dan penghapus juga. Ia menaruh semuanya di sebuah wadah kecil.

"Why do you collect those?" Elowen asked. The custodian smiled at her question. "I keep loose things safe every night," he said.

"Kenapa Bapak mengumpulkan itu?" tanya Elowen. Petugas kebersihan itu tersenyum mendengar pertanyaannya. "Setiap malam saya menyimpan barang-barang yang tercecer supaya aman," katanya.

"Students lose these often," he said. "I return them at the front office."

"Murid-murid sering menghilangkan barang seperti ini," katanya. "Saya mengembalikannya ke kantor depan."

Elowen laughed and felt a little silly. She imagined a very big mystery.

Elowen tertawa dan merasa sedikit konyol. Ia sudah membayangkan misteri yang sangat besar.

The next morning, she checked the front office. A full box of markers sat on the counter.

Keesokan paginya, ia memeriksa kantor depan. Sekotak penuh spidol ada di atas meja.

She carried the box back to her classroom. Her classmates cheered at the door.

Ia membawa kotak itu kembali ke kelasnya. Teman-teman sekelasnya bersorak di pintu.
