En: The market was lively, filled with the sounds of bargaining, the aroma of spices, and the cheerful smiles of both the vendors and the buyers.

Id: Di sudut pasar, I Made, penjual pisang yang terkenal, sedang sibuk melayani para pembeli.
En: In a corner of the market, I Made, a famous banana seller, was busy serving customers.

Id: Tak jauh dari situ, Ni Wayan, penjual bunga, memperhatikan hiruk-pikuk pasar dengan senyuman manis di wajahnya.
En: Not far from there, Ni Wayan, a flower seller, observed the hustle and bustle of the market with a sweet smile on her face.

Id: Suatu hari yang cukup cerah, sesuatu yang tidak terduga terjadi.
En: On a particularly bright day, something unexpected happened.

Id: Sebuah kulit pisang entah bagaimana tergeletak di tengah-tengah jalan setapak pasar, yang menjadi jalan utama bagi banyak pembeli dan pedagang.
En: A banana peel somehow ended up in the middle of the market path, which was the main thoroughfare for many buyers and sellers.

Id: Komang yang sedang berjalan sambil mengobrol dengan I Made, tanpa sadar menginjak kulit pisang tersebut.
En: Komang, who was walking and chatting with I Made, unintentionally stepped on the banana peel.

Id: "Duh!
En: "Ouch!"

Id: " teriak Komang saat ia tergelincir.
En: Komang yelled as he slipped.

Id: Dia tergelincir dengan kaki terangkat ke udara dan jatuh dengan pantatnya tepat di atas tanah.
En: His foot went up in the air, and he fell right on his backside.

Id: Terkejut, I Made terlonjak ke belakang seraya menahan tawa.
En: Startled, I Made jumped back, trying to contain his laughter.

Id: Secara tidak disengaja, I Made pun menjatuhkan beberapa sisir pisang yang segera berguling kesana-kemari.
En: Unintentionally, I Made also dropped some bunches of bananas, which started rolling around.

Id: Melihat kejadian itu, Ni Wayan tidak bisa menahan tawa, dan dengan cepat suasana menjadi seperti pesta tawa.
En: Seeing the incident, Ni Wayan couldn't hold back her laughter, and soon the atmosphere turned into a laughter party.

Id: Suara tawa berderai di seluruh pasar, dan orang-orang mulai berkumpul, tertarik dengan kekacauan yang terjadi.
En: Laughter echoed throughout the market, and people started to gather, drawn to the commotion.

Id: Tapi, tawa bukan tanpa kepedulian.
En: But the laughter was not without concern.

Id: Mereka semua bersimpati kepada Komang yang terjatuh.
En: They all sympathized with Komang, who had fallen.

Id: "Aduh, maafkan aku, Komang," I Made berkata, berusaha menahan tawa sambil menawarkan tangannya untuk membantu Komang berdiri.
En: "Oh, I'm sorry, Komang," I Made said, trying to hold back his laughter while offering his hand to help Komang up.

Id: "Ah, Made, ini bukan salahmu.
En: "Ah, Made, it's not your fault.

Id: Ini salah kulit pisang yang licin," jawab Komang sambil terbatuk karena sisa-sisa tawa yang dia coba tahan.
En: It's this slippery banana peel," Komang replied, still trying to contain his laughter with a cough.

Id: Ni Wayan pun mendekati Komang, masih dengan senyuman, dan memberikan dia sekarung bunga frangipani (kamboja).
En: Ni Wayan approached Komang, still smiling, and handed him a bag of frangipani flowers.

Id: "Ini untuk meringankan hatimu," ujarnya dengan ramah.
En: "This is to lighten your heart," she said kindly.

Id: Komang menerima bunga itu dan tersenyum.
En: Komang accepted the flowers and smiled.

Id: "Terima kasih, Wayan.
En: "Thank you, Wayan.

Id: Ini benar-benar menghiburku.
En: This really cheers me up."

Id: "Dari hari itu, kulit pisang menjadi bahan candaan di Pasar Tradisional Kuta.
