Lesson XXXIV Preparations for Departure
I am going away to —— on Friday next— Sahaya handak ka-luar ka-kampong anu pada hari juma’at yang datang ini.
Pack up enough clothes for a few days— Kemas-kan kain-kain mana chukup sampei dua tiga ampat hari lama-nia.
You need not take so many; I am not going for good— Ta’payah bagitu baniak, ta’kan orang handak pergi langsong.
Put all these clothes into a box— Isi-kan kain-kain ini sumua dalam peti.
Will this go in?— Chelus-kah ini.
No; it is too big— Ta’chelus, besar sangat.
Three or four handkerchiefs and two pairs of socks— Saputangan barang tiga ampat ’lei, sarong kaki dua pasang.
Not this spotted neck-tie, but the striped one— Bukan tali leher yang ber-rintik ini, ada lain yang ber-choring.
Unfasten this cord— Rangkei tali ini.
Roll up that rug— Gulong kain panas itu.
Have everything taken down to the boat— Bawa-lah turun ka-prahu barang-barang ini sumua.
Put them into the bullock-cart— Muat-kan di-atas kreta lumbu.
Call the coolies, and tell them to take the things away— Panggil kuli-kuli suroh angkat.
We will stop to-night at Kampong—which is the usual halting-place— Hari ini kita ber-malam di Kampong—itu-lah tampat per-hinti-an deri salama-lama.
Wrap a waterproof sheet round that bedding, so that it may not get wet— Balut tikar bantal itu dengan kain-gĕtah jangan di-kena basah.
Set that box down here; I want to take something out of it— Letak-kan peti itu di-sini, sahaya mahu ambil apa-apa di-dalam-nia.
Put everything away again— Simpan kambali sumua.
What else is there (to detain us)?—Apa lagi kita?
Exercise
Count all those clothes, and then put them away. At least one hundred people were waiting at the river-side. After waiting for several hours, no one came, so they were all disappointed. About midnight there was a great storm, with thunder and lightning. His shoulder was quite swollen, for he had never been in the habit of carrying a load on a stick. What have those two people been quarrelling about? There is a great difference between these two things.
