En: The market was bustling with vendors and buyers.

Id: Suasana penuh warna dan aroma segar.
En: The atmosphere was full of vibrant colors and fresh aromas.

Id: Rina adalah seorang pedagang pemula.
En: Rina was a novice trader.

Id: Dia ingin membeli sayuran segar untuk warungnya.
En: She wanted to buy fresh vegetables for her food stall.

Id: Tapi, Rina belum pandai menawar harga.
En: However, Rina was not yet skilled at bargaining.

Id: Oleh karena itu, dia meminta bantuan Budi, sahabatnya sejak kecil.
En: Therefore, she asked for the help of Budi, her childhood friend.

Id: Mereka sampai di pasar.
En: They arrived at the market.

Id: "Budi, tolong bantu aku menawar harga sayuran," pinta Rina.
En: "Budi, please help me bargain for the vegetable prices," Rina asked.

Id: "Tentu, Rina. Saya akan bantu," jawab Budi dengan penuh semangat.
En: "Of course, Rina, I will help," Budi replied enthusiastically.

Id: Mereka masuk ke lorong pasar.
En: They entered the market aisles.

Id: Ada banyak kios di sana.
En: There were many stalls there.

Id: Sementara Rina melihat-lihat sayuran, Budi berjalan lebih jauh.
En: While Rina was looking at the vegetables, Budi walked further.

Id: Tanpa sengaja, dia sampai di kios hewan peliharaan.
En: Unintentionally, he ended up at a pet stall.

Id: Pemilik kios, Pak Ujang, menawarkan berbagai hewan.
En: The stall owner, Mr. Ujang, offered various animals.

Id: Ada ayam, kelinci, burung, bahkan kambing kecil.
En: There were chickens, rabbits, birds, and even a small goat.

Id: "Harga kambing ini Rp500.000," kata Pak Ujang.
En: "This goat is priced at Rp500,000," said Mr. Ujang.

Id: Budi ingat permintaan Rina.
En: Budi remembered Rina's request.

Id: Dia berpikir ini kesempatan untuk membantu.
En: He thought this was an opportunity to help.

Id: "Bisa kurang nggak, pak?" tanya Budi.
En: "Can you reduce the price, sir?" Budi asked.

Id: "Kambing ini terlalu mahal."
En: "This goat is too expensive."

Id: Pak Ujang tersenyum.
En: Mr. Ujang smiled.

Id: "Bisa, Rp450.000 untuk kamu, anak muda," jawabnya.
En: "Sure, Rp450,000 for you, young man," he replied.

Id: Budi merasa senang dan setuju.
En: Budi felt happy and agreed.

Id: Sementara itu, Rina terkejut saat melihat Budi kembali tanpa sayuran tapi dengan kambing kecil.
En: Meanwhile, Rina was surprised when she saw Budi returning not with vegetables but with a small goat.

Id: "Budi! Apa ini?" tanya Rina dengan mata yang terbelalak.
En: "Budi! What is this?" Rina asked with wide eyes.

Id: "Saya menawar harga seperti yang kamu minta," jawab Budi dengan bangga.
En: "I bargained the price as you asked," Budi replied proudly.

Id: Rina tertawa melihat kekeliruan Budi.
En: Rina laughed at Budi's mistake.

Id: Dia menjelaskan bahwa dia ingin menawar sayuran, bukan kambing.
En: She explained that she wanted to bargain for vegetables, not a goat.

Id: Mereka mengembalikan kambing ke Pak Ujang.
En: They returned the goat to Mr. Ujang.

Id: Budi meminta maaf dan menjelaskan kesalahannya.
En: Budi apologized and explained his mistake.

Id: Untungnya, Pak Ujang sangat baik dan mengerti.

Id: Setelah itu, Budi dan Rina kembali ke kios sayuran.

Id: Mereka berhasil mendapatkan harga yang baik untuk sayuran.
En: They managed to get a good price for the vegetables.

Id: Di perjalanan pulang, mereka tertawa teringat peristiwa lucu di pasar.
En: On the way home, they laughed, remembering the funny incident at the market.

Id: "Ternyata menawar bukan hal yang mudah," kata Budi sambil tersenyum.
En: "It turns out bargaining is not an easy thing," Budi said with a smile.

Id: "Benar, tapi kamu sudah mencoba yang terbaik," sahut Rina dengan senyum manis.
En: "True, but you tried your best," Rina replied with a sweet smile.

Id: Kisah ini menjadi pengalaman berharga bagi Rina dan Budi.
