Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
(Rudolph Si Rusa Hidung Merah)
Once upon a time, a small reindeer lived in the North Pole. This reindeer's name was Rudolph, and he was a very remarkable reindeer. Rudolph was standing alone on the day before Christmas. He observed as the other reindeer ran and played together, clearly having a great time, but Rudolph was never invited to the games because of his special feature. Rudolph sported a large, brilliant red nose. It wasn't a typical reindeer nose in the least. Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer's nose was gleaming! This nose drew admiration from all corners of the North Pole.
Suatu ketika, seekor rusa kutub kecil hidup di Kutub Utara. Namanya adalah Rudolph, dan dia rusa kutub yang sangat berbeda. Rudolph berdiri sendiri di hari sebelum Natal. Dia mengamati sambil rusa-rusa lainnya berlari dan bermain bersama, menikmati waktu yang menyenangkan, tapi Rudolph tidak pernah diajak bermain karena ciri khasnya. Rudolph memiliki sebuah hidung merah besar yang menarik. Tidaklah umum seorang rusa kutub mempunyai hidung seperti itu. Rudolph si hidung merah bersinar terang! Hidung Rudolph menarik kekaguman dari setiap sudut di Kutub Utara.
Rudolph's nose was ridiculed by the other deer, and they laughed about it. They had a great time rolling about in the snow, while Rudolph trudged back to the barn, lonely and unhappy. The others quickly returned to their activities, and Rudolph attempted to have a good time on his own, for it was Christmas after all. Rudolph groaned. It wasn't as much fun as playing with the others would have been. Soon the Christmas day arrived, Santa and the reindeers were given the responsibility to deliver gifts to the little kids’ world.
Hidung Rudolph diejek oleh rusa-rusa lainnya, dan mereka menertawakan itu. Rusa-rusa lain memiliki waktu bersama berguling-guling di salju, di mana Rudolph berjalan lambat kembali ke kandang, sendirian dan tidak bahagia. Rusa-rusa lainnya cepat kembali ke kegiatan mereka dan Rudolph mencoba bersenang-senang dengan caranya, karena itu toh hari Natal. Rudolph mengeluh. Tidaklah semenyenangkan seperti bermain dengan yang lain. Segera hari Natal tiba, Santa dan para rusa kutub diberikan tanggungjawab untuk mengantarkan hadiah ke anak-anak di dunia.
The day was drawing to a close, and everyone was rushing to load Santa's sleigh. It was getting dark quickly, and the fog was making things worse. The atmosphere was gloomy, and even the reindeer began to argue over who would be the greatest candidate to lead the squad this evening. Once everything was in place, Santa stepped onto his sleigh and took off. He was already running late, and it was so dark that he couldn't see the lead reindeer. The minutes ticked by, and it became evident that no progress was being made.
Hari Natal bertambah dekat, dan semuanya bergegas mengisi kereta luncur Santa. Semakin bertambah malam dengan cepat dan kabut membuat situasi bertambah buruk. Suasana menjadi gelap dan bahkan para rusa mulai berdebat siapa kandidat terbaik yang akan memimpin pasukan malam ini. Ketika semua sudah siap, Santa menaiki kereta luncurnya dan berangkat. Dia sudah agak terlambat dan situasi sangat gelap sehingga dia tidak bisa melihat rusa kutub yang memimpin di depan. Waktu terus berjalan dan terbukti tidak ada kemajuan yang dihasilkan.
What would happen to Christmas? Santa was very concerned. He had no idea how he was going to go back to the North Pole! Then he noticed a faint red glow, which he could only see weakly at first. The sleigh got gradually sturdier as Santa steered it towards the light. What could it be, he wondered? It was quite bright. Santa carefully positioned the sleigh in the direction of the light. He discovered Rudolph alone on Christmas Eve, attempting to enjoy himself.
Apa yang akan terjadi pada Natal? Santa sangat khawatir. Dia tidak memiliki ide bagaimana dia kembali pulang ke kutub utara! Lalu dia memperhatikan sebuah cahaya merah pudar, yang Santa hanya bisa lihat dengan lemah awalnya. Kereta luncur perlahan-lahan bertambah cepat sambil Santa mengarahkannya ke cahaya tersebut. Apa itu, Santa bertanya? Cahayanya cukup terang. Santa berhati-hati mengarahkan kereta luncurnya ke arah cahaya. Dia menemukan Rudolph sendirian di malam natal, mencoba bersenang-senang sendiri.
Santa asked Rudolph if he would mind assisting him with the sleigh; Rudolph's huge, shining nose was exactly what he needed to keep the sleigh on course. Rudolph was overjoyed and leapt at the opportunity. As Rudolph moved to the head of the squad, the other reindeer grinned with pleasure, knowing that this would rescue Christmas. On that gloomy night, jingle bells rang out crisply as Rudolph and his bright nose led Santa and the sleigh laden of goodies around the world. Rudolph was thrilled to be recognised as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer from that day forward; a very unique reindeer indeed!
Santa meminta Rudolph jika dia mau membantunya dengan kereta luncurnya; hidung besar dan bersinar Rudolph yang dibutuhkan Santa untuk menjaga kereta luncur tetap di lintasan. Rudolph sangat kesenangan dan mengambil kesempatan itu. Sambil Rudolph bergerak ke depan barisan, rusa-rusa lainnya tersenyum senang, mengetahui bahwa Rudolph akan menyelamatkan Natal. Di malam yang gelap, lonceng-lonceng berbunyi terang saat Rudolph dan hidungnya yang bersinar memimpin Santa dan kereta luncurnya membagikan hadiah di seluruh dunia. Rudolph sangat senang dikenal sebagai Rudolph si Rusa Kutub Berhidung Merah sejak hari itu; benar-benar rusa kutub yang sangat unik!
