Id: Di sebuah pasar yang ramai di tengah kota, ada seorang pedagang buah bernama Siti yang selalu tersenyum.
En: In a bustling market in the middle of the city, there was a fruit vendor named Siti who always had a smile on her face.

Id: Pasar itu penuh dengan suara tawar-menawar, aroma buah-buahan segar, dan keramaian orang yang berlalu lalang mencari keperluan harian mereka.
En: The market was filled with the sounds of bargaining, the aroma of fresh fruits, and the hustle and bustle of people going about their daily business.

Id: Pada suatu pagi yang cerah, Adi, seorang pelanggan langganan Siti, berjalan mendekat dengan kantong belanja di tangannya.
En: One bright morning, Adi, a regular customer of Siti, approached with a shopping bag in hand.

Id: Sementara itu, Rina, teman baik Adi, ikut bersamanya untuk pertama kalinya ke pasar ini.
En: Meanwhile, Rina, Adi's close friend, accompanied him to the market for the first time.

Id: Mereka mencari pisang favorit Adi yang selalu dibeli di lapak Siti.
En: They were on the hunt for Adi's favorite bananas, which he always bought from Siti's stall.

Id: Saat Adi dan Rina sampai di lapak Siti, mereka melihat tumpukan pisang yang menguning dan terlihat sangat segar.
En: As Adi and Rina arrived at Siti's stall, they saw a stack of ripe and fresh bananas.

Id: Adi langsung menyapa Siti dengan ramah, "Pagi, Bu Siti!
En: Adi greeted Siti warmly, "Good morning, Bu Siti!

Id: Seperti biasa, saya mau beli pisang yang enak itu.
En: As usual, I want to buy those delicious bananas."

Id: "Siti dengan senyuman menjawab, "Pagi, Adi!

Id: Harganya dua belas ribu rupiah per kilonya.
En: They are twelve thousand rupiahs per kilogram."

Id: "Rina yang baru pertama kali mendengar harga pisang di pasar itu terkejut dan berbisik pada Adi, "Kok mahal, ya?
En: Rina, who was hearing the price of bananas at the market for the first time, was surprised and whispered to Adi, "That's expensive, isn't it?

Id: Di tempat lain cuma sepuluh ribu kok.
En: It's only ten thousand at other places."

Id: "Kemudian terjadi sedikit kesalahpahaman ketika Adi, yang terbiasa dengan harga Siti dan mempercayai kualitasnya, mencoba menjelaskan pada Rina bahwa pisang itu sepadan dengan harganya.
En: A slight misunderstanding occurred when Adi, accustomed to Siti's prices and trusting her quality, tried to explain to Rina that the bananas were worth the price.

Id: Namun, Rina tetap belum paham dan tanpa sengaja berbicara terdengar oleh Siti, "Lain kali aku ajak kamu ke pasar lain saja, lebih murah.
En: However, Rina still didn't understand and unintentionally spoke loud enough for Siti to hear, "Next time, I'll take you to another market, it's cheaper there."

Id: "Siti yang mendengar komentar Rina merasa sedikit tersinggung karena dia selalu menjaga kualitas buahnya dan menawarkan harga yang pantas.
En: Hearing Rina's comment, Siti felt a little offended because she always maintained the quality of her fruits and offered a fair price.

Id: Siti pun berkata dengan nada sedikit tegas, "Kalau tidak percaya dengan hargaku, tidak apa-apa, Adi.
En: Siti then said with a slightly firm tone, "If you don't believe my price, it's okay, Adi.

Id: Harga di pasar memang bervariasi, tapi saya jamin kualitas buah di lapak saya.
En: Prices in the market do vary, but I guarantee the quality of the fruits at my stall."

Id: "Adi, yang tidak ingin Ada perselisihan di antara temannya dan pedagang kepercayaannya, segera memecahkan kebekuan, "Bu Siti, saya tahu kualitas pisang Anda bagus sekali.
En: Adi, not wanting any conflict between his friend and his trusted vendor, quickly intervened, "Bu Siti, I know your banana's quality is excellent.

Id: Rina, kamu percayalah, sudah lama saya belanja di sini.
En: Rina, trust me, I've been shopping here for a long time."

Id: "Melihat kesalahpahaman yang terjadi, Rina merasa perlu meminta maaf kepada Siti.
En: Seeing the misunderstanding that occurred, Rina felt the need to apologize to Siti.

Id: "Maafkan saya, Bu Siti.
En: "I'm sorry, Bu Siti.

Id: Saya baru pertama kali ke sini dan belum tahu tentang kualitas buah di pasar.
En: This is my first time here, and I didn't know about the fruit quality at the market.

Id: Maafkan kekurangtahuan saya.
En: Forgive my ignorance."

Id: "Siti pun tersenyum, memahami situasi itu dan menjawab, "Tidak apa-apa, Rina.
En: Siti smiled, understanding the situation, and replied, "It's okay, Rina.

Id: Setiap orang punya hak untuk memilih yang terbaik menurut mereka.
En: Everyone has the right to choose what they believe is the best."
