Sampul The Mixed-Up Seating Cards

Halle planned every detail of the family dinner. She made a seating chart for twelve guests. Two cousins, Delwyn and Corvin, often argued.

Halle merencanakan setiap detail makan malam keluarga itu. Ia membuat bagan tempat duduk untuk dua belas tamu. Dua sepupu, Delwyn dan Corvin, sering bertengkar.

She placed their cards at opposite ends of the table. She hurried and swapped two cards by mistake. She did not notice right away.

Ia menaruh kartu nama mereka di ujung meja yang berlawanan. Karena terburu-buru, ia menukar dua kartu secara tidak sengaja. Ia tidak menyadarinya langsung.

Halle stepped back to check her work early. Something looked wrong with the head of the table. She counted the cards twice.

Halle mundur untuk memeriksa hasil kerjanya lebih awal. Ada yang tampak salah di bagian kepala meja. Ia menghitung kartu-kartu itu dua kali.

Her stomach dropped. Delwyn's card sat right next to Corvin's card. This one mistake was a big problem.

Perutnya mencelos. Kartu Delwyn berada tepat di sebelah kartu Corvin. Satu kesalahan ini adalah masalah besar.

Halle moved fast. She swapped the two cards back to their correct spots. She checked every other name at the table, too.

Halle bergerak cepat. Ia menukar kedua kartu itu kembali ke tempat yang benar. Ia memeriksa setiap nama lain di meja juga.

The doorbell rang right then. Guests filled the house one by one. Delwyn and Corvin arrived within minutes of each other.

Bel pintu berbunyi saat itu juga. Para tamu memenuhi rumah satu per satu. Delwyn dan Corvin tiba dalam selisih beberapa menit.

They found their seats at opposite ends of the table. Everything was exactly as planned. Neither cousin noticed a thing. Dinner passed calmly, without a single awkward moment.

Mereka menemukan tempat duduk masing-masing di ujung meja yang berlawanan. Semuanya persis seperti yang direncanakan. Tidak ada sepupu yang menyadari apa pun. Makan malam berlalu dengan tenang, tanpa satu pun momen canggung.

After dessert, Halle told her sister the whole story quietly. "I almost sat them together," she whispered. Her sister laughed and shook her head.

Setelah hidangan penutup, Halle menceritakan seluruh kejadian itu kepada kakak perempuannya dengan pelan. "Aku nyaris mendudukkan mereka bersebelahan," bisiknya. Kakaknya tertawa dan menggeleng.

"You were smart to check twice," her sister said. Halle nodded and looked at the table. Everyone talked and laughed happily.

"Kamu pintar karena memeriksanya dua kali," kata kakaknya. Halle mengangguk dan memandang meja itu. Semua orang mengobrol dan tertawa bahagia.

She started clearing the plates with a small, proud smile.

Ia mulai membereskan piring-piring dengan senyum kecil yang bangga.

The next family dinner, Halle made the chart early. She checked every card three times. She never mixed up a card again.

Pada makan malam keluarga berikutnya, Halle membuat bagan itu jauh-jauh hari. Ia memeriksa setiap kartu tiga kali. Ia tidak pernah lagi salah menukar kartu.
