Id: Ari datang ke pasar untuk mencari sesuatu yang sangat penting baginya, yaitu ranselnya yang hilang.
En: Ari had come to the market to find something very important to him – his missing backpack.
Id: Ransel itu ditinggalkannya di sebuah bangku di pasar saat ia sibuk memilih buah.
En: He had left it on a bench at the market while busy picking fruits.
Id: Ketika kembali, ranselnya sudah tidak ada.
En: When he returned, his backpack was gone.
Id: Sambil gelisah, Ari mulai mencari ke sana ke mari.
En: Anxiously, Ari began searching here and there.
Id: "Ransel itu harus ada di sini," pikirnya.
En: "My backpack must be here," he thought.
Id: Dia mulai berjalan cepat, menyusuri setiap lorong pasar, mengintip ke setiap sudut.
En: He started walking fast, going through every aisle of the market and peering into every corner.

Id: Ia bekerja membantu ibunya menjual kain-kain batik.

Id: Kembali ke Ari, matanya tertangkap oleh sesuatu yang bulat dan besar.
En: Back to Ari, his eyes caught sight of something big and round.
Id: "Ah, itu pasti ranselku," ujar Ari lega.
En: "Ah, that must be my backpack," said Ari with relief.
Id: Dengan cepat, tanpa berpikir panjang, ia melompat dan mengambil object yang dianggapnya sebagai ransel.
En: Without hesitation, he quickly jumped and grabbed what he thought was his backpack.
Id: Tapi, bukannya ransel, yang ia bawa malah buah durian besar yang diletakkan pedagang di lantai.
En: But instead of his backpack, he picked up a large durian fruit placed on the floor by a seller.
Id: Ari tidak menyadari kesalahannya dan mulai berjalan melewati kerumunan orang dengan durian di punggungnya.
En: Ari didn't realize his mistake and started walking through the crowd with the durian on his back.
Id: Duri-duri tajam durian itu menyenggol orang-orang yang berlalu lalang, bahkan merobek beberapa bungkus barang dagangan.
En: The sharp spines of the durian bumped into passersby, even tearing through some of the wrapped goods.
Id: "Hei, hati-hati!
En: "Hey, be careful!"
Id: " teriak seorang pembeli.
En: shouted a buyer.
Id: "Adikku, bukan itu ranselmu!
En: "Hey, that's not your backpack, kid!"
Id: " kata pedagang buah sambil geleng-geleng kepala.
En: said the fruit vendor, shaking his head.
Id: Tapi Ari terus berjalan, tidak mendengar apa yang dikatakan orang-orang karena ia terlalu fokus mencari tempat di mana ia tadi duduk.
En: But Ari kept walking, not hearing what people were saying because he was too focused on finding the place where he had been sitting.
Id: Keributan dimulai dan beberapa pedagang mulai kesal.
En: A commotion started, and some vendors started getting annoyed.
Id: Siti, yang melihat kekacauan ini dari kejauhan, mengejar Ari.
En: Siti, who saw the chaos from a distance, chased after Ari.
Id: Ia berlari cepat, melewati kerumunan orang, dan akhirnya mengejar Ari.
En: She ran fast, weaving through the crowd, and finally caught up with Ari.
Id: "Ari, berhenti!
En: "Ari, stop!"
Id: " teriak Siti.
En: shouted Siti.
Id: Ari berhenti dan menoleh.
En: Ari stopped and turned around.
Id: "Siti?
En: "Siti?
Id: Kenapa semua orang marah?
En: Why is everyone angry?"
Id: " tanyanya bingung.
En: he asked, confused.
Id: "Itu bukan ransel, itu durian!
En: "That's not a backpack, it's a durian!"
Id: " kata Siti sambil tertawa.
En: said Siti, laughing.
Id: "Ayo, aku akan membantumu mencari ranselmu.
En: "Come on, I'll help you find your backpack."
Id: "Siti dengan matanya yang tajam langsung memperhatikan tempat yang sama dan menunjukkan kepada Ari.
En: With her sharp eyes, Siti immediately spotted the same spot and pointed it out to Ari.
Id: Ransel itu ternyata terjatuh di balik meja pedagang buah yang tidak Ari perhatikan.
En: It turns out that the backpack had fallen behind a fruit seller's table that Ari hadn't noticed.
Id: "Iya!
En: "Yes!
Id: Itu dia!
En: That's it!
Id: Terima kasih, Siti," kata Ari dengan lega sambil mengambil ranselnya.
