Kisah Shizam
Shizam was a fun loving teenager who loved adventures and
challenges. He was well trained in martial arts and was considered a
dare-devil by many. He often undertook dangerous assignments as
challenges, having his parents worry about his safety all the time.
Shizam ialah seorang remaja penyayang yang menyeronokkan yang sukakan
pengembaraan dan cabaran. Dia terlatih dengan baik dalam seni
mempertahankan diri dan dianggap sebagai ‘syaitan berani’ oleh ramai. Dia
sering melakukan tugasan berbahaya sebagai cabaran, menyebabkan ibu
bapanya bimbang tentang keselamatannya sepanjang masa.

4. 4
He was especially fond of riding his bike at great speed which often
left onlookers stunned and gaping open-mouthed. His college
authorities warned him several times saying that he was becoming a
bad example to other students who were trying to ape his rash driving.
Shizam laughed away all the admonitions by saying that he was
always in perfect control of his bike and confident of his capabilities.
Dia sangat gemar menunggang motosikalnya dengan laju yang sering
membuatkan penonton terpegun dan ternganga. Pihak berkuasa kolejnya
memberi amaran beberapa kali mengatakan bahawa dia menjadi contoh buruk
kepada pelajar lain yang cuba meniru pemanduannya yang terburu-
buru.Sharad mentertawakan semua teguran itu dengan mengatakan bahawa
dia sentiasa mengawal motosikalnya dengan sempurna dan yakin dengan
kemampuannya.

5. 5
Of late Shizam had been practicing to ride his bike on a single wheel.
He had skidded and fallen down several times hurting himself badly in
the process.
Since he had set his mind on achieving the feat, he refused to listen to
anyone’s advice. His friends felt very proud about his adventurous
nature and always encouraged him instead of cautioning him.
Sejak akhir-akhir ini Shizam berlatih menunggang motosikalnya dengan satu
roda. Dia telah tergelincir dan terjatuh beberapa kali sehingga mencederakan
dirinya sendiri dalam proses itu. Oleh kerana dia telah menetapkan fikirannya
untuk mencapai kejayaan itu, dia enggan mendengar nasihat sesiapa. Rakan-
rakannya berasa sangat bangga dengan sifat pengembaraannya dan sentiasa
menggalakkannya dan bukannya memberi amaran kepadanya.

6. 6
One day Shizam was provoked to ride his bike on a single wheel by a
few college students inside the college campus and he immediately
took up the challenge.
A few well meaning students tried to stop him saying that it was too
dangerous to carry out since the roads were not in good condition.
Shizam refused to listen and got his bike out ready for the act.
Pada suatu hari Shizam telah diprovokasi untuk menunggang motosikalnya
pada satu roda oleh beberapa pelajar kolej di dalam kampus kolej dan dia
segera menyahut cabaran itu. Beberapa pelajar yang bermaksud baik cuba
menghalangnya dengan mengatakan bahawa ia terlalu berbahaya untuk
dijalankan kerana jalan raya tidak dalam keadaan baik. Shizam enggan
mendengar dan mengeluarkan basikalnya untuk beraksi.

7. 7
The road was cleared of obstacles and Shizam was getting
ready at the far end of the road to begin his act. Suddenly a few
students noticed an oil spill on the road. They started to shout
a warning to Shizam,
Jalan itu dibersihkan daripada halangan dan Shizam bersiap-siap di
hujung jalan untuk memulakan aksinya. Tiba-tiba beberapa orang
pelajar ternampak tumpahan minyak di atas jalan. Mereka mula
menjerit amaran kepada Shizam,
Oil Spill / Tumpahan Minyak
STOP! DANGER!
BERHENTI! BAHAYA!

8. 8
but it was too late. Shizam was already speeding down the
road. As he tried to lift the front wheel, his back wheel traveled
over the oil-spill and his bike skidded sending Shizam flying
across the road. As people ran across to help him, Shizam lay
still in an unconscious state.
tetapi sudah terlambat. Shizam sudah memecut laju di jalan raya.
Semasa dia cuba mengangkat roda hadapan, roda belakangnya
melepasi tumpahan minyak dan motorsikalnya terbabas
menyebabkan Shizam terbang melintasi jalan. Ketika orang ramai
berlari untuk membantunya, Shizam masih terbaring dalam keadaan
tidak sedarkan diri.

9. 9
An ambulance came and Shizam was rushed to the hospital.
The doctors performed emergency operations. The doctors
pronounced that he had injured his spine so badly that he
would never again be able to walk. It was a great blow to
Shizam and everyone dear to him.
Ambulans datang dan Shizam dibawa segera ke hospital. Doktor melakukan
pembedahan kecemasan. Doktor menyatakan bahawa dia telah
mencederakan tulang belakangnya dengan teruk sehingga dia tidak akan
dapat berjalan lagi. Ini merupakan tamparan hebat kepada Shizam dan semua
orang yang disayanginya.

10. 10
Shizam was paralyzed in the lower part of his body; he was bed-ridden and
had to depend on a wheelchair and care givers for the rest of his life.
Shizam felt terribly depressed and sorry for himself. It was then that he
realized that his foolishness in not observing safety warnings had cost him
his future.
He understood that it was always BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.
Shizam lumpuh di bahagian bawah badannya; dia terlantar di katil dan
terpaksa bergantung kepada kerusi roda dan penjaga sepanjang hayatnya.
Shizam berasa amat tertekan dan kasihan pada dirinya sendiri. Ketika itulah
dia sedar bahawa kebodohannya tidak mematuhi amaran keselamatan telah
merugikan masa depannya.Dia faham bahawa lebih baik untuk selamat
daripada menyesal.
