Audiobook Dictation: “Off on the plain they heard…”

Off on the plain they heard a rich tenor voice raised in the song of the cowman.

Jauh di padang, mereka mendengar suara tenor yang merdu melantunkan lagu para koboi.

"Little black bull came down the hillside, Down the hillside, down the hillside, Little black bull came down the hillside, Long time ago."

“Banteng hitam kecil turun dari lereng bukit, Turun dari lereng, turun dari lereng, Banteng hitam kecil turun dari lereng bukit, Dahulu kala.”

"I don't call that much of a song," sniffed Chunky contemptuously after a moment of silence on the part of the group.

“Menurutku itu bukan lagu yang hebat,” dengus Chunky dengan meremehkan setelah rombongan itu terdiam sejenak.

"Even if I can't sing, I can beat that."

“Meskipun aku tak bisa menyanyi, aku bisa lebih bagus dari itu.”

"Better not try it out on the range," smiled the foreman.

“Sebaiknya jangan dicoba di padang penggembalaan,” kata sang mandor sambil tersenyum.

"Not on the range?

“Jangan di padang penggembalaan?

Why not?" demanded the boy.

Kenapa tidak?” tuntut anak itu.

"Bob thinks it might stampede the herd," spoke up Big-foot Sanders.

“Bob kira itu bisa membuat kawanan ternak lari berhamburan,” sela Big-foot Sanders.

A loud laugh followed at Chunky's expense.

Tawa keras pun meledak, menertawakan Chunky.

"When you get to be half as good a man on cows as your friend the Pinto, here, you'll be a full grown man," added Big-foot.

“Kalau kau sudah setengah sehebat temanmu si Pinto ini dalam urusan sapi, kau akan jadi pria dewasa sejati,” tambah Big-foot.
