John's Pants

"Seluar John"

Dia - He/She

汉语

A pupil of mine always plays with ink in my class. His mother saw the mess and yelled out a practical suggestion.

Si Bongok :

John* spilled ink on the floor again?

Wan :

Yes. Last week it was blue ink. This week it is black ink.

Si Bongok:

Ask him to mop the floor.

Wan :

He mopped the floor with his own white shirt.

Si Bongok :

Ha! John's mother ( will ) faint !

Wan :

No, she only says: " Don't mop with the shirt, mop with the pants!

Si Bongok :

John* menumpahkan dakwat di atas lantai lagi?

Wan :

Ya. Minggu lepas dakwat biru. Minggu ini dakwat hitam.

Si Bongok:

Suruh dia lap lantai.

Wan :

Dia lap lantai dengan kemeja putih sendiri.

Si Bongok :

Ha! Pengsanlah ibu John!

Wan :

Tidak, dia hanya kata : " Jangan lap dengan kemeja, lap dengan seluar!"

"Dia lap dakwat dengan seluar."

*Not the boy's real name.
