Sebuah buku cerita bertajuk "Musim Durian Dah Tiba!" untuk kanak-kanak berumur 5 hingga 9 tahun yang mengisahkan kemeriahan dan kegembiraan suasana menunggu durian gugur di kebun pada waktu malam.
Malay: Musim Durian Dah Tiba!
Suasana malam di hujung kampung itu sunyi, melainkan bunyi cengkerik yang bersahut-sahutan. Namun, di bawah pondok usang Pak Mail, suasana cukup meriah. Kami duduk bersila di atas pangkin, masing-masing memasang telinga dengan penuh debar. Tiba-tiba, satu bunyi dentuman kuat memecah kesunyian malam—"GEDEBUK!" Tanpa menunggu arahan, kami semua melompat bangun dan mencapai lampu suluh. "Itu arah pokok durian tembaga!" jerit Ali sambil berlari membelah kegelapan malam. Inilah saat yang paling dinantikan; kegilaan tengah malam demi sebiji 'emas berduri'.
English: Durian Season is Here!
The night at the edge of the village was silent, save for the rhythmic chirping of crickets. However, beneath Pak Mail’s weathered hut, the energy was electric. We sat cross-legged on the wooden platform, everyone straining their ears in anticipation. Suddenly, a heavy thud shattered the midnight calm—"THUMP!" Without a single word, we scrambled to our feet and grabbed our flashlights. "That came from the Tembaga tree!" Ali shouted, sprinting into the darkness. This was the moment we had been waiting for; the midnight chaos in pursuit of the 'thorny gold'.Here is a list of key words used in the story to help you bridge the two languages:
