But suddenly ....

Namun tiba-tiba....
Dorr!
came the sound of the explosion.
 Terdengar bunyi ledakan.

 The bird was brought to the side lake
Burung itu dibawa ke tepi danau
 "Thank you turtle.you are great, can swim.
 "Terimakasih kura-kura.kamu memang hebat,bisa berenang.
 I do not know whether I can survive or not if you do not exist," said the bird
Aku tak tahu apa aku bisa selamat atau tidak tadi jika tidak ada kamu,"ucap burung.
