“Kakak, aku ingin punya tanaman hias di halaman rumah!” kata Peri Novi pada Peri Dinda suatu hari. “Boleh, tapi kau harus memeliharanya dengan baik,” kata Peri Dinda.  (“Big sister, I want to own a beautiful plant for the yard!” Novi the fairy tells Dinda the fairy one afternoon. “Sure, but you have to take good care of it,” says Dinda.)

Peri Novi mencari tanaman hias di Hutan Ajaib. Dia melihat  kaktus cantik tumbuh sendirian di tengah pohon-pohon Baobab. “Aku menemukan tanaman hiasku!” seru Peri Novi gembira. (Novi looks for the beautiful plant inside the Magical Forest. She is excited to see a beautiful cactus standing amidst the Baobab trees. “I found my beautiful plant!” says Novi happily.)

Peri Novi membawa pulang kaktus itu dan menanamnya di halaman rumah. Peri-peri lain mengagumi kaktus cantik Peri Novi, tapi Peri Dinda khawatir. “Kaktus yang kau bawa dari Hutan Ajaib itu Kaktus Legenda, aku takut terjadi apa-apa,” kata Peri Dinda. “Tidak mungkin,” ucap Peri Novi bersikeras. Dia tak ingin pujian dari peri-peri lain berhenti. (Novi brings home the cactus and plants it on the house’s yard. The other fairies are admiring Novi’s beautiful cactus, but Dinda is concerned. “The cactus you brought from the Magical Forest is a Legendary Cactus, I’m afraid something could come up,” says Dinda. “No way,” insists Novi. She doesn’t want the admiration from the other fairies to stop.)

Dua hari kemudian, Peri Novi dibangunkan oleh Peri Dinda. “Ayo, ke halaman rumah!” serunya.  Peri Novi terkejut melihat pohon Baobab berdiri di samping Kaktus Legenda. Peri Dinda dan Peri Novi mengayunkan tongkat ajaib mereka pada si pohon Baobab dan Kaktus Legenda, sehingga dua tanaman itu bisa berbicara. (Two days later, Novi is being woken up by Dinda. “Come on, let’s go to the yard!” she says. Novi is surprised to see the Baobab tree standing beside the Legendary Cactus. Dinda and Novi then waive their magic wand to the Baobab tree and the Legendary Cactus so the plants can speak.)

“Namaku Boba, aku datang menjemput Kuku Kaktus Legenda,” kata si Pohon Baobab. “Aku bertugas menyimpan air dalam tubuhku, dan membagi-bagikannya pada tanaman lain di Hutan Ajaib sehingga mereka bisa hidup,” jelas Kuku si Kaktus Legenda. (“My name is Boba, I have come to pick up Kuku the Legendary Cactus,” says the Baobab tree. “I have a duty to store water inside me, and distribute it to the other plants in the Magical Forest, so they all can stay alive,” explains Kuku the Legendary Cactus.)

Peri Novi menyesali perbuatan egoisnya. “Hanya karena ingin dipuji peri lain, aku seenaknya menahan Kuku di rumahku, maafkan aku!” katanya. Peri Dinda dan Peri Novi mengantar Boba dan Kuku kembali ke Hutan Ajaib. (Novi regrets her selfishness. “Just because I wanted praises from the other fairies, I have recklessly hold Kuku in my house, I’m sorry!” she says. Dinda and Novi escort Boba and Kuku, back to the Magical Forest.)

Peri Novi melambai pada kedua tanaman itu. “Jangan sedih, kami akan jadi temanmu. Kau bisa bermain ke sini kapan saja,” kata Boba dan Kuku. Peri Novi mengepakkan sayapnya dengan gembira. “Aku akan datang!” serunya. (Novi waives goodbye to the two plants. “Don’t be sad, we will be your friend. You can play here anytime,” ask Boba and Kuku. Novi flaps her wings happily. “I will come around!” she says.)      (Cerita: Seruni; Translator: Yos)
