Piper and Purpa Forever by Susan Landroth, illustrated by Olivia Fang.
Piper dan Purpa Selamanya karya Susan Landroth, diilustrasikan oleh Olivia Fang.
Piper loved her purple sweater.
Piper sangat menyukai sweter ungunya.
She loved it even before she could pronounce the word purple.
Dia sudah menyukainya bahkan sebelum bisa mengucapkan kata “ungu.”
“Purpa!” she shouted when she pulled it out of a box of hand-me-downs from her cousin.
“Purpa!” serunya saat menariknya keluar dari kotak baju bekas sepupunya.
So that’s what everyone called it.
Sejak itu, semua orang pun memanggilnya begitu.
The first time Piper wore Purpa, it hung below her knees.
Saat pertama kali Piper mengenakannya, sweter itu menjuntai sampai ke bawah lututnya.
She wore Purpa to the park, and to birthday parties, and as a cape for dress-up.
Dia memakai Purpa ke taman, ke pesta ulang tahun, bahkan sebagai jubah saat bermain peran.
“I'm a fairy! I'm a beetle!”
“Aku peri! Aku kumbang!”
Piper and Purpa went trick-or-treating together for three Halloweens in a row.
Piper dan Purpa pergi meminta permen bersama selama tiga Halloween berturut-turut.
Every year, Piper's mother measured her against her bedroom door.
Setiap tahun, ibu Piper menandai tinggi badannya di pintu kamar.
Piper's marks climbed higher as she grew taller.
Tanda-tanda itu naik semakin tinggi seiring Piper tumbuh besar.
But the sweater no longer reached halfway to Piper’s knees,
Tapi sweter itu sudah tidak lagi sampai ke lutut Piper,
or her hips, or even her belly button, unless she tugged down really hard.
bahkan tidak sampai pinggul atau pusarnya, kecuali ditarik keras ke bawah.
Piper's family shook their heads at how small the sweater was on Piper.
Keluarga Piper menggeleng melihat betapa kecilnya sweter itu di tubuh Piper.
Her father added Purpa to a box of outgrown clothes for the school rummage sale.
Ayahnya memasukkan Purpa ke kotak baju-baju yang sudah kekecilan untuk dijual di bazar sekolah.
He promised to replace it with a new sweater.
Dia berjanji akan menggantinya dengan sweter baru.
Piper turned him down and rescued Purpa from the box.
Piper menolak dan segera menyelamatkan Purpa dari kotak itu.
Her aunt offered to unravel the sweater and use the yarn to knit a beautiful winter hat.
Bibinya menawarkan untuk mengurai benangnya dan merajut topi musim dingin yang indah.
Piper said, “No.”
Piper berkata, “Tidak.”
Her grandfather asked, “Do you want to wash my car with me?”
Kakeknya bertanya, “Mau mencuci mobil bersamaku?”
Piper nodded eagerly.
Piper mengangguk penuh semangat.
“We can use that old sweater to polish it.”
“Kita bisa pakai sweter lama itu untuk mengelapnya.”
“No!”
“Tidak!”
Piper ran from the room holding Purpa tight.
Piper berlari keluar sambil memeluk Purpa erat-erat.
“She can't wear it forever,” her mother said with a shrug.
“Ia tidak bisa memakainya selamanya,” kata ibunya sambil mengangkat bahu.
The next time Piper tried to put Purpa on, she had to squeeze her head through the neck.
Saat mencoba memakainya lagi, Piper harus memaksa kepalanya masuk lewat leher sweter.
She struggled to poke one hand, then the other, through the tight sleeves.
Dia kesulitan memasukkan satu tangan, lalu tangan lainnya, ke lengan yang sempit.
Piper pulled the sweater down as far as it would go.
Piper menarik sweter itu sejauh mungkin ke bawah.
“It still fits,” she gasped.
“Masih muat,” desahnya.
Taking Purpa off after school was much harder.
Melepas Purpa sepulang sekolah jauh lebih sulit.
Piper tugged at the sleeves, but her arms got stuck.
Piper menarik lengan bajunya, tapi tangannya terjebak.
She stretched the neck, but Purpa got caught on her nose.
Dia menarik lehernya, tapi Purpa tersangkut di hidungnya.
Piper tumbled to the floor, twisting and turning and wriggling and rolling with Purpa,
Piper terjatuh ke lantai, berputar, berguling, meronta, dan berkelit bersama Purpa,
until she finally peeled off the sweater and threw it in the corner.
sampai akhirnya dia berhasil melepas sweter itu dan melemparkannya ke sudut ruangan.
But what about the next time she wore it?
Tapi bagaimana dengan saat dia memakainya lagi nanti?
That night, Piper's father came home with a gift.
Malam itu, ayah Piper pulang membawa sebuah hadiah.
“I thought you might like a new friend,” he said.
“Aku pikir kamu mungkin suka teman baru,” katanya.
“I love it!” Piper cried, hugging the koala.
“Aku suka sekali!” seru Piper sambil memeluk koala itu.
“I remember when you were that size,” her mother said, “and Purpa was big on you.”
“Ibu ingat waktu kamu sebesar itu,” kata ibunya, “dan Purpa kebesaran di tubuhmu.”
Piper looked at Purpa and then at her koala.
Piper menatap Purpa lalu menatap koalanya.
She measured the koala against the marks on the frame.
Dia mengukur tinggi koala itu pada tanda di bingkai pintu.
His head brushed the line drawn when Piper was two years old.
Kepala koala itu tepat menyentuh garis yang dibuat saat Piper berusia dua tahun.
“I got an idea,” she whispered in the koala's ear.
“Aku punya ide,” bisiknya di telinga koala.
For show and tell the next day, Piper carried a large bag to school.
Untuk acara show and tell keesokan harinya, Piper membawa tas besar ke sekolah.
When her turn came, Piper pulled out her new friend.
Saat gilirannya tiba, Piper mengeluarkan teman barunya.
“My dad brought me a surprise last night,” she said.
“Tadi malam ayahku memberiku kejutan,” katanya.
“I named him Papa.”
“Aku menamainya Papa.”
Didn't she do a great job? I am so proud of you!
Bukankah dia melakukannya dengan hebat? Aku sangat bangga padamu!
