Id: Hutan Monyet Ubud sedang ramai oleh kicauan burung dan teriakan monyet yang bermain.
En: The Hutan Monyet Ubud was bustling with bird chirps and the screams of monkeys playing.

Id: Adi dan Rina berjalan perlahan di antara pepohonan yang menjulang tinggi.
En: Adi and Rina walked slowly among the towering trees.

Id: "Lihat, itu dia monyet yang mengambil gelangku," kata Adi sambil menunjuk ke arah pohon besar.
En: "Look, there's the monkey that took my bracelet," said Adi while pointing toward a big tree.

Id: Sebuah monyet kecil berlari-lari dengan gelang emas keluarga Adi di tangannya.

Id: "Adi, pelan-pelan.
En: "Adi, slow down.

Id: Kita harus hati-hati," kata Rina dengan suara lembut.
En: We have to be careful," Rina said softly.

Id: Rina tahu bagaimana monyet di sini bisa sangat nakal dan suka mencuri.
En: Rina knew how mischievous the monkeys here can be and how they love to steal.

Id: Rina lebih berhati-hati, dia selalu mendengar nasihat pemandu wisata untuk menjaga barang-barang berharga dari monyet-monyet ini.
En: Rina was more cautious, always remembering the tour guide's advice to protect valuables from these monkeys.

En: However, Adi was already too excited.

Id: "Aku harus mendapatkannya kembali.
En: "I have to get it back.

Id: Suara air yang mengalir mulai terdengar.
En: The sound of flowing water started to be heard.

Id: Rina merasa was-was.

Id: Ini terlalu berbahaya," katanya sambil menarik lengan Adi.
En: This is too dangerous," she said, pulling Adi's arm.

Id: Namun, Adi tidak mendengarkan.
En: However, Adi didn't listen.

Id: Ia sudah terlalu fokus pada misinya untuk mendapatkan gelangnya kembali.
En: He was too focused on his mission to retrieve his bracelet.

Id: Akhirnya, mereka bertemu monyet itu di atas dahan pohon yang menjuntai di atas sungai.
En: Finally, they encountered the monkey on a tree branch hanging over the river.

Id: Adi melihat gelang itu mengilap di tangan monyet.
En: Adi saw the bracelet shining in the monkey's hand.
