Story Transcript:

Id: Di pagi yang cerah di Pantai Sanur, Bali, Adi siap membangun kastil pasir yang megah.
En: On a bright morning at Pantai Sanur, Bali, Adi was ready to build a magnificent sandcastle.

Id: Matahari bersinar terang, dan angin semilir berhembus lembut, sementara suara gelombang menghantam pantai dengan tenang.
En: The sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze blew softly, while the sound of waves lapped calmly at the shore.

Id: Pantai dipenuhi dengan tawa para pengunjung yang sedang menikmati hari mereka.
En: The beach was filled with the laughter of visitors enjoying their day.

Id: Adi, seorang pemuda kreatif yang bersemangat, membawa sekop kecil, ember, dan cetakan untuk membangun kastil pasir yang dia impikan.
En: Adi, an enthusiastic and creative young man, brought a small shovel, a bucket, and molds to build the sandcastle he dreamed of.

Id: Di sampingnya berdiri Dewi, sahabat yang setia dengan senyum ceria, dan Budi yang skeptis tapi suka melihat aksi kawan-kawannya.
En: Beside him stood Dewi, a loyal friend with a cheerful smile, and Budi, who was skeptical but enjoyed watching his friends' antics.

Id: "Aku ingin membuat kastil pasir terbaik," kata Adi sambil menggulung lengan bajunya.
En: "I want to make the best sandcastle," said Adi as he rolled up his sleeves.

Id: Dewi mengangguk semangat.
En: Dewi nodded enthusiastically.

Id: “Kamu pasti bisa, Adi,” katanya.
En: "You can do it, Adi," she said.

Id: Namun, di balik pohon palem, mata kecil mengamati dengan penuh minat.
En: However, behind the palm trees, a small eye watched with keen interest.

Id: Seekor monyet nakal mengincar alat-alat Adi.
En: A naughty monkey was eyeing Adi's tools.

Id: Saat Adi sibuk membentuk menara pertama kastilnya, monyet itu melompat ke depan dan mengambil sekop Adi, melarikan diri dengan cepat.
En: While Adi was busy shaping the first tower of his castle, the monkey suddenly jumped forward and snatched Adi's shovel, quickly running away with it.

Id: Adi terkejut, “Hei! Kembalikan sekopku!”
En: Adi was shocked, "Hey! Give back my shovel!"

Id: Budi tertawa terbahak-bahak, “Adakah kamu ada rencana menghadapi monyet ini, Adi?”
En: Budi laughed heartily, "Do you have a plan to deal with this monkey, Adi?"

Id: Dengan semangat tidak menyerah, Adi memutuskan untuk mencoba beberapa cara.
En: With a spirited determination not to give up, Adi decided to try a few ways.

Id: Pertama, ia berlari mengejar monyet itu.
En: First, he ran after the monkey.

Id: Namun, monyet lebih cepat dan melompat ke pohon.
En: However, the monkey was faster and leaped into a tree.

Id: Kemudian, Dewi memberikan ide.
En: Then, Dewi had an idea.

Id: “Bagaimana kalau kita beri dia pisang? Mungkin dia akan mengembalikan alatmu,” sarannya.
En: "How about we offer him a banana? Maybe he'll return your tool," she suggested.

Id: Adi setuju dan mereka mengambil pisang dari keranjang piknik.
En: Adi agreed, and they took a banana from the picnic basket.

Id: Akhirnya, Adi mendekati monyet itu perlahan dengan pisang di tangan.
En: Finally, Adi approached the monkey slowly with a banana in hand.

Id: Monyet tersebut memandang pisang dengan mata berbinar dan dengan ragu-ragu menjatuhkan sekop di atas pasir, mengambil pisang, dan duduk di bawah pohon, menikmati makanannya.
En: The monkey looked at the banana with sparkling eyes and hesitantly dropped the shovel onto the sand, took the banana, and sat down under the tree to enjoy its meal.

Id: Adi kembali ke membangun kastilnya dengan bantuan Dewi.
En: Adi returned to building his castle with Dewi's help.

Id: Budi, walaupun skeptis, membantu dengan antusias.
En: Although skeptical, Budi helped enthusiastically.

Id: Kastil itu perlahan terbentuk. Dengan menara tinggi dan dinding kokoh terbuat dari pasir basah.
En: The castle slowly took shape, with tall towers and strong walls made of wet sand.

Id: Ketika kastil pasir selesai, pengunjung di sekitar bertepuk tangan, dan monyet itu, yang sekarang sudah kenyang, duduk di dekat Adi, seakan-akan mengagumi kastil itu juga.
En: When the sandcastle was finished, nearby visitors applauded, and the monkey, now full, sat near Adi, as if admiring the castle too.

Id: Adi tertawa dan menyadari bahwa pengalaman ini lebih berarti daripada sekadar hasil akhir.
En: Adi laughed and realized that this experience meant more than just the final result.

Id: Dia beralih ke teman-temannya dan berkata, “Ternyata, seru juga ya menghadapi tantangan.”
En: He turned to his friends and said, "Turns out, it's fun to face challenges."

Id: Dewi dan Budi tersenyum mendengar itu.
En: Dewi and Budi smiled at hearing this.

Id: Di hari cerah di Pantai Sanur, Adi bukan hanya membangun kastil pasir, tetapi juga menciptakan kenangan yang tak terlupakan bersama teman-temannya.
En: On a bright day at Pantai Sanur, Adi not only built a sandcastle but also created unforgettable memories with his friends.
