The Only Watermelon

Mary and her sister Mina were very poor. They lived in a small town, and everyone knew
they were poor. Most people felt sorry for them, but it wasn't their responsibility to help the two
girls.
The summer was hot and they didn't have air conditioning. All they had was an old fan that
overheated if it was plugged in for more than 15 minutes. They didn't even have cold water.
Next door there was a watermelon farm. It was early in the summer, and there hadn't been
much rain. So, there was only one watermelon growing in the field. The watermelon was big and
fat, getting fatter and riper every day. The farmer checked the melon every day, He was really
looking forward to eating the first one of the season.
Every day on the way to school, Mary looked at the watermelon and thought how cool and
refreshing it would be to eat it. The summer was so hot after all!
One day, Mary came home and the watermelon was sitting on their table, already cut open.
Her sister Mina was already eating it. Sweet watermelon iuice was running down her chin and
she had the biggest smile on her face.
Mary and Mina ate as much watermelon as they could. They stuffed themselves until their
bellies were full. Their refrigerator didn't work though, so they had to throw out the rest, or flies
would get it.
When the farmer checked his field that day, he became very angry. He had a good idea who
had taken his watermelon. The farmer marched over to yell at the two girls for stealing his
watermelon. When he banged on their front door. Mary, the younger sister, came to the door.
"Yes, Sir? She asked innocently, but she looked guilty. She even had a watermelon seed
stuck to her cheek!
The farmer opened his mouth to yell, but he couldn't help but see how poor the two girls
were. He saw the inside of their house and shook his head. He couldn't be angry at them. "I just
wanted you to know I found a few more watermelons starting to ripen. r'll bring one over when
it's ready."
"Really? Thanks!" Mary replied
She looked so excited that the farmer felt good, even if his only watermelon had been stolen.
At least Mary and Mina never stole from him again, because he always shared.

Semangka satu-satunya
 Mary dan kakaknya Mina sangat miskin. Mereka tinggal di kota kecil, dan semua orang tahu
mereka miskin. Kebanyakan orang merasa kasihan pada mereka, tetapi itu bukan tanggung jawab
mereka untuk membantu kedua gadis itu
Musim panas panas dan mereka tidak memiliki ac. Yang mereka miliki adalah kipas tua yang
terlalu panas jika dipasang selama lebih dari 15 menit. Mereka bahkan tidak memiliki air dingin.
Di sebelah ada peternakan semangka. Itu awal di musim panas, dan belum ada banyak hujan.
Jadi, hanya ada satu Semangka yang tumbuh di ladang. Semangka itu besar dan gemuk, semakin
gemuk dan mengembang setiap hari. Petani itu memeriksa melon setiap hari, dia benar-benar
ingin makan yang pertama di musim itu.
Setiap hari dalam perjalanan ke sekolah, Mary melihat semangka itu dan berpikir betapa
sejuk dan menyegarkan rasanya untuk memakannya. Musim panas begitu panas setelah semua!
Suatu hari, Mary pulang dan semangka sudah tertancap di meja mereka.
Mina kakaknya sudah memakannya. Jus semangka manis mengalir di dagunya dan dia punya
senyum terbesar di wajahnya.
Mary dan Mina makan semangka sebanyak yang mereka bisa. Mereka mengisi sendiri
sampai perut mereka penuh. Lemari es mereka tidak berfungsi, jadi mereka harus membuang
sisanya, atau lalat akan mendapatkannya.
Ketika petani itu memeriksa ladangnya hari itu, dia menjadi sangat marah. Dia tahu siapa
yang mengambil semangka itu. Petani itu berbaris untuk berteriak pada kedua gadis itu karena
mencuri semangka. Ketika dia menggedor pintu depan mereka. Mary, adiknya, datang ke pintu.
"Ya, pak? Tanyanya dengan polos, tetapi dia tampak bersalah. Bahkan ada biji semangka
menempel di pipinya!
Petani itu membuka mulutnya untuk berteriak, tetapi dia tidak bisa membantu tetapi melihat
betapa malangnya kedua gadis itu. Dia melihat bagian dalam rumah mereka dan menggelengkan
kepalanya. Dia tidak bisa marah pada mereka. "Aku hanya ingin kau tahu aku menemukan
beberapa semangka lagi mulai matang. Akan kubawa satu jika sudah siap."
"Sungguh? Terima kasih!" Jawab maria
Dia tampak begitu bersemangat sehingga petani itu merasa baik, bahkan jika semangka satu-
satunya yang dicuri. Setidaknya Mary dan Mina tak pernah mencuri darinya lagi, karena dia
selalu berbagi.
