Story Transcript:
Id: Di tengah hutan Ubud Monkey Forest yang rimbun, Rina berdiri dengan penuh semangat.
En: In the midst of the lush Ubud Monkey Forest, Rina stood with enthusiasm.
Id: Matanya berbinar-binar melihat pepohonan tinggi dan candi kuno yang tersembunyi di antara daun-daun hijau.
En: Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the tall trees and ancient temples hidden among the green leaves.
Id: Ia menggenggam ponsel di tangan, siap untuk mengambil selfie dengan salah satu penghuni favoritnya — monyet yang lucu dan nakal.
En: She grasped her phone in her hand, ready to take a selfie with one of her favorite inhabitants — the cute and mischievous monkeys.
Id: Di sebelahnya, Wira, seorang pemandu wisata lokal, tersenyum melihat antusiasme Rina.
En: Next to her, Wira, a local tour guide, smiled at Rina's excitement.
Id: Dia sudah sering melihat wisatawan yang datang dengan harapan tinggi untuk mengabadikan momen sempurna dengan monyet-monyet itu.
En: He had often seen tourists come with high hopes to capture the perfect moment with the monkeys.
Id: Namun ia tahu, monyet-monyet di sini tidak pernah gagal memberikan kejutan.
En: But he knew, the monkeys here never failed to surprise.
Id: "Kalau mau selfie dengan monyet, harus siap sedia," kata Wira kepada Rina sambil tertawa kecil.
En: "If you want a selfie with the monkeys, you have to be prepared," Wira said to Rina with a small laugh.
Id: "Mereka suka membuat ulah."
En: "They love to cause trouble."
Id: Rina tersenyum percaya diri.
En: Rina smiled confidently.
Id: Dia sudah merencanakan segalanya. "Aku sudah bawa pisang matang," katanya sambil menunjukkan sebungkus pisang yang khusus dibawa untuk keperluan ini.
En: She had planned everything. "I've brought ripe bananas," she said, showing a bunch of bananas she specifically brought for this purpose.
Id: Saat mereka berjalan lebih dalam ke hutan, suara riuh rendah monyet terdengar.
En: As they walked deeper into the forest, the lively sounds of the monkeys could be heard.
Id: Di salah satu pohon, tampak Bintang, seekor monyet yang terkenal dengan kenakalannya. Bintang memperhatikan Rina dengan tatapan penuh rasa ingin tahu.
En: In one of the trees, Bintang, a monkey known for its mischief, was watching Rina with a gaze full of curiosity.
Id: Rina mengangkat pisang di tangannya.
En: Rina raised the banana in her hand.
Id: Bintang dengan cepat turun dari pohon, mendekati Rina dengan langkah-langkah kecil namun gesit.
En: Bintang quickly descended from the tree, approaching Rina with small yet agile steps.
Id: Hati Rina berdebar, ini saatnya!
En: Rina's heart pounded, it was the moment!
Id: Dengan hati-hati, dia memegang pisang sambil bersiap dengan ponselnya.
En: Carefully, she held the banana while preparing with her phone.
Id: Bintang, senang dengan perhatian yang diterimanya, mulai menghampiri lebih dekat.
En: Bintang, pleased with the attention, began to approach closer.
Id: Tepat ketika Rina hendak menekan tombol kamera, Bintang melompat ke bahu Rina dan dengan gerakan cepat mencabut kacamata hitam dari wajahnya, lalu berlari menjauh.
En: Just as Rina was about to press the camera button, Bintang leaped onto Rina’s shoulder and with a swift move snatched the sunglasses from her face, then ran away.
Id: "Aduh!" pekik Rina terkejut, tapi dia tak bisa menahan tawanya.
