Like many other kids his age,
Seperti banyak anak seusianya,
Chad had an imaginary friend.
Chad punya teman khayalan.
That friend was named Pingo.
Teman itu bernama Pingo.
On rainy days,
Saat hujan,
they defended forts from ninja armies.
mereka membela benteng dari serangan pasukan ninja.
Sometimes they brewed magical potions.
Kadang-kadang mereka meramu ramuan ajaib.
And sometimes Chad's room became a zero-gravity chamber.
Dan kadang kamar Chad berubah menjadi ruang tanpa gravitasi.
As Chad grew older,
Semakin besar,
he was often taunted for having an imaginary friend.
Chad sering diejek karena masih punya teman khayalan.
One day,
Suatu hari,
Chad got fed up with the teasing
Chad muak dengan ejekan itu
and sat down with Pingo to have a talk.
dan duduk bersama Pingo untuk berbicara.
"I'm growing up," Chad said.
"Aku sudah tumbuh besar," kata Chad.
"It's time to stop pretending that you're real."
"Sudah waktunya berhenti berpura-pura kalau kamu nyata."
"Pretending?" Pingo asked.
"Berpura-pura?" tanya Pingo.
"That's right," Chad said.
"Benar," kata Chad.
"If I stop believing in you, you'll disappear."
"Kalau aku berhenti percaya padamu, kamu akan hilang."
"I'm not so sure about that," Pingo said.
"Aku tidak yakin soal itu," kata Pingo.
"Wanna bet?" Chad said.
"Mau taruhan?" kata Chad.
"We've had some fun,
"Kita sudah bersenang-senang,
but I'm done playing. Goodbye, Pingo."
tapi aku sudah tidak mau bermain. Selamat tinggal, Pingo."
"But wait," Pingo said. "I'm still here."
"Tapi tunggu," kata Pingo. "Aku masih di sini."
"We'll see whether the playing is done."
"Kita lihat saja apa permainan ini benar-benar selesai."
From that day forward,
Sejak hari itu,
Chad no longer had an imaginary friend.
Chad tidak lagi punya teman khayalan.
He had an imaginary enemy.
Sekarang ia punya musuh khayalan.
Pingo led pirate raids when Chad was trying to sleep.
Pingo memimpin serangan bajak laut saat Chad berusaha tidur.
Pingo filled Chad's backpack with maple syrup and peanut butter.
Pingo memenuhi tas Chad dengan sirup maple dan selai kacang.
And zero gravity was no fun outside.
Dan gravitasi nol tidak lagi menyenangkan kalau di luar.
Eventually, Pingo grew weary of harassing Chad.
Akhirnya, Pingo mulai bosan mengganggu Chad.
As the years passed, Pingo bothered him less and less.
Seiring waktu, Pingo makin jarang mengusiknya.
Occasionally, a report that Chad needed for work would vanish.
Kadang, laporan yang dibutuhkan Chad untuk pekerjaannya tiba-tiba hilang.
By the time Chad was an old man
Saat Chad sudah menjadi pria tua
living in a quiet rest home,
yang tinggal di panti jompo yang tenang,
he had almost forgotten about his old friend,
ia hampir lupa pada teman lamanya,
who was also his old enemy.
yang juga sekaligus musuhnya.
Until one day,
Sampai suatu hari,
Chad could not find his dentures.
Chad tidak bisa menemukan gigi palsunya.
He checked under the bed,
Ia mencari di bawah tempat tidur,
in his dresser drawers, and in the bathroom sink.
di laci lemari, dan di wastafel kamar mandi.
When he looked in the closet,
Saat membuka lemari,
he found Pingo showing off a new set of perfect teeth.
ia menemukan Pingo memamerkan satu set gigi baru yang sempurna.
Chad couldn't help but laugh.
Chad tak bisa menahan tawa.
"All right," Chad said.
"Baiklah," kata Chad.
"I give up. I'm too old and tired for your mischief."
"Aku menyerah. Aku sudah terlalu tua dan lelah untuk kenakalanmu."
"Plus, it's lonely here,
"Lagipula, tempat ini sepi,
and I've missed the fun we used to have.
dan aku merindukan keseruan yang dulu kita miliki.
Let's be friends again."
Ayo kita berteman lagi."
"That's all I've ever wanted to hear," Pingo said with a smile.
"Itu saja yang selama ini ingin kudengar," kata Pingo sambil tersenyum.
Before Chad knew it, he and Pingo were on safari in Africa,
Tanpa terasa, Chad dan Pingo sedang bersafari di Afrika,
Escaping spies on jet skis,
Mereka kabur dari mata-mata dengan jet ski,
and counseling with the wise chiefs of mighty tribes.
dan berdiskusi dengan kepala-kepala suku bijak dari suku-suku besar.
Chad and Pingo lived happily ever after.
