When the milkshake arrives, Joseph watches as little Judith struggles.

Ketika milkshake tiba, Joseph menyaksikan perjuangan Judith kecil.

Seated on the parlor stool,

Duduk di bangku toko,

she is unable to reach the mouth of the striped paper straw

dia tidak bisa mencapai ujung sedotan kertas bergaris

protruding from her shake.

yang terjulur dari minumannya.

Joseph, in a moment of vision, modifies Judith's straw.

Joseph, ketika ilham datang, memodifikasi sedotan Judith.

He inserts a screw into one end,

Dia memasukkan sekrup ke satu ujung,

and using a piece of dental floss,

dan menggunakan sepotong benang gigi,

crushes the paper between the threads of the screw

meremukkan kertas di antara benang dari sekrup

creating a series of tiny equidistant corrugations.

membuat rangkaian kerutan kecil berjarak sama.

After removing the screw,

Setelah melepas sekrup,

the straw is able to bend over the side of the glass

sedotan mampu menekuk ke samping gelas.

and Judith is able to savor her milkshake.

dan Judith bisa menikmati milkshakenya.

Joseph initially markets the new flexible straw

Joseph awalnya memasarkan sedotan fleksibel baru itu

to hospitals to help patients drink while reclining,

ke rumah sakit untuk membantu pasien minum sambil berbaring,

but eventually, with the marketing and business savvy from his sister Betty,

tetapi akhirnya, dengan pemasaran dan pemahaman bisnis dari saudaranya Betty,

the bendy straw becomes a beloved utensil of every child

sedotan lengkung menjadi alat yang disukai semua anak

and a regular household item.

dan barang lazim rumah tangga.
