Translation assignment ( sem 4)

Translate the following text into Bahasa Indonesia.

Among some groups of people, cats have a reputation as rather silly animals that are always getting themselves stuck in trees. Cats have often been known to become frightened of something, to run up a tree, and then to cry sadly until they are rescued.

There is, in reality, a reasonable explanation for this type of behavior, and it has to do with the shape of the cat's claws. A cat's claws are hooked in a direction that makes climbing up a tree a rather easy task. However, when it comes to climbing down the tree, these claws are not very helpful.

Thus, if you happen to see a meowing cat stuck in a tree, have some sympathy for the cat. The cat managed to get up in the tree quite easily, but the shape of its claws make it quite impossible for the cat to climb down with the same case.
