¿Ser famoso es buena o mala idea?

Halo! Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? Saya harap semua baik ya! 
Saya punya cerita tentang kamera saya. Saya sudah punya kamera itu dari 5 tahun lalu. Fungsi dan hasil fotonya juga bagus. Tapi, tiba-tiba hari Sabtu lalu, waktu saya memakainya, kamera itu tidak bisa berfungsi! Jadi, saya memutuskan pergi ke toko reparasi kamera untuk coba mereparasinya. Saya kaget, biaya reparasi kamera itu sangat mahal! Biayanya hampir sama dengan biaya membeli kamera baru. 

Lalu, saya bertanya apakah bisa tukar tambah kamera saya dengan kamera baru. “Tukar tambah” di Bahasa Inggris artinya “trade in”, dan di Bahasa Jepang artinya “下取り”. Ya, akhirnya saya bisa menukar kamera saya, dan menambah uang untuk mendapat kamera baru. Saya senang!

Apakah kalian pernah melakukan tukar tambah? Tukar tambah HP lama dengan HP baru? Tukar tambah mobil lama dengan mobil baru? Tapi, jangan tukar tambah pacar lama dengan pacar baru loh! Hahaha…. Ok, hari ini sampai di sini ya. Sampai jumpa lagi! 



Akhir minggu

Tukar tambah

“献给列翁.维尔特”

我请孩子们原谅我把这本书献给了一个大人。我有一个很重要的理由：这个大人是我在世界上最好的朋友。我还有另一个理由：这个大人他什么都能懂，甚至给孩子们写的书他也能懂。我的第三个理由是：这个大人住在法国，他在那里挨饿、受冻。他很需要安慰。如果这些理由还不够的话，那么我愿意把这本书献给儿童时代的这个大人。所有的大人都曾经是个孩子。（可惜，只有很少的一些大人记得这一点。）

因此，我就把献词改为：
“献给还是小男孩时的列翁.维尔特”
