C5 Narrative text

PART 1 UNDERSTANDING 

1.What is NT?
A narrative text is a type of writing that tells a story by presenting a sequence of events involving characters, a setting, and a structured plot. These elements work together to create a meaningful and engaging experience for the reader. Narratives often follow a clear progression—from an introduction of the situation, through a conflict or problem, and finally to a resolution. This structure helps readers stay connected to the story and understand how events unfold. Narrative texts can take many forms, including short stories, novels, myths, legends, and personal accounts, each offering unique ways of storytelling.

2.What is the goal/aims/purpose of NT?
The main purpose of a narrative text is to entertain, inform, or share an experience—whether real or imaginary. However, beyond entertainment, narratives often carry deeper meanings, such as moral lessons, cultural values, or reflections on human life. Throughout history, narrative texts have played an important role in preserving traditions and passing down knowledge. In ancient times, stories were shared orally before writing systems were developed, with famous early narratives like epic tales and folklore helping communities understand their world. As writing evolved, these stories were recorded in texts, such as ancient epics, religious stories, and later, modern literature. Today, narrative texts continue to evolve across different media, including books, films, and digital storytelling, showing that storytelling remains a fundamental part of human communication.

3.What is the generic structure of NT?
A narrative text also has a generic structure that helps organize the story and guide the reader through the events in a clear and logical way. It typically begins with the orientation, which introduces the main characters, the setting (time and place), and the initial situation of the story. This part is important because it gives the reader background information and helps them understand who is involved and where the story takes place. After that comes the complication, where a problem, conflict, or challenge arises. This is often the most interesting part of the story because it creates tension and makes the reader curious about what will happen next.

Following the complication, the story moves into the resolution, where the problem is solved and the conflict comes to an end. The resolution can be happy, sad, or even surprising, depending on the story. Sometimes, a narrative text also includes a re-orientation, which serves as a closing statement. This part may contain a moral lesson, a reflection, or a final comment from the writer about the events in the story. Overall, this structured sequence helps make the narrative easy to follow, keeps the reader engaged, and ensures that the story delivers a clear and meaningful message.

4.What is the language features of NT?
A narrative text also has specific language features that make the story more vivid and engaging for the reader. One of the most common features is the use of past tense verbs, such as went, saw, and said, because narratives usually describe events that have already happened. In addition, writers use action verbs to clearly show what the characters are doing, helping the reader follow the events more easily. Descriptive words, including adjectives and adverbs, are also important because they help create detailed images of characters, settings, and situations, allowing the reader to imagine the story more clearly.

Another important feature of narrative texts is the use of dialogue, which shows conversations between characters and makes the story feel more real and lively. Writers also use time connectives such as once upon a time, then, after that, and finally to organize events in a logical sequence. These words guide the reader through the story step by step, making it easier to understand how the events are connected. Overall, these language features work together to bring the story to life, making it more interesting, expressive, and enjoyable for the reader.

5.What is the Type and Example of NT?
Narrative texts also have different types or kinds, such as fairy tales, legends, myths, fables, short stories, and personal narratives, each with its own unique characteristics. Fairy tales usually involve magical elements, such as princes, princesses, or supernatural creatures, and often end with a happy ending. Legends are stories that are believed to be based on real historical events but are exaggerated over time, while myths often explain natural phenomena or cultural beliefs and usually involve gods or supernatural powers. Fables are short stories that typically use animals as characters and teach a clear moral lesson.

In addition, short stories are brief fictional narratives that focus on a limited number of characters and events, making them simple yet meaningful. Personal narratives, on the other hand, are stories based on real experiences from the writer’s own life, allowing them to share feelings, lessons, or important moments. Each type of narrative text serves a different purpose, but all aim to engage the reader through storytelling. Overall, these various types, along with their unique features, work together to bring stories to life, making them more interesting, meaningful, and enjoyable for the reader.

PART 2 READING TEXT

Text 1 Blambangan
Long, long ago, when gods and goddesses still mingled in the affairs of mortals, there was a small and peaceful kingdom on the slope of Mount Wayang in West Java. The kingdom was ruled by a wise and just king named Sang Prabu, who was respected and loved by his people. Despite his wisdom and success as a ruler, Sang Prabu had one concern in his life—his only daughter, Princess Teja Nirmala. She was known throughout the land for her extraordinary beauty and gentle nature, yet she remained unmarried, which worried the king greatly.

As time passed, Sang Prabu decided it was time to find a योग्य husband for his beloved daughter. He came up with a plan to hold a grand competition, where princes and noblemen from various kingdoms would gather to prove their strength and worthiness. Many contestants arrived, each hoping to win the heart of Princess Teja Nirmala. After a fierce and challenging contest, a noble and brave prince from Blambangan, named Raden Begawan, emerged as the winner. The kingdom rejoiced, and it seemed that happiness would soon follow.

However, their joy did not last long. A wicked fairy named Princess Segara secretly fell in love with Raden Begawan. Consumed by jealousy and desire, she used her dark magic to enchant him. Under her spell, Raden Begawan lost his memory and forgot about the competition and his promise to marry Princess Teja Nirmala. The once-bright future of the kingdom suddenly turned uncertain as the prince wandered aimlessly, unaware of his true destiny.

Sang Prabu, worried by the prince’s sudden disappearance and strange behavior, began searching for him. When they finally met, Raden Begawan slowly regained his awareness and realized that he had been under the influence of the wicked fairy’s magic. Unfortunately, Princess Segara could not accept losing him. In a fit of rage and despair, she chose a cruel path and killed Raden Begawan, ending all hope for the promised union.

When Princess Teja Nirmala heard the tragic news, her heart was filled with deep sorrow and grief. She mourned the loss of the man she was meant to marry and the happiness that was taken from her. Seeing her suffering, a kind and gentle fairy took pity on the princess and brought her to Kahyangan, a heavenly place far from the pain of the mortal world. There, Princess Teja Nirmala found peace, leaving behind a story that would be remembered for generations.

Text 2 Kebo Iwa

A long time ago, on the island of Bali, there lived a giant-like creature named Kebo Iwa. He was known by the people as a powerful being who could both create and destroy. Despite his strength, Kebo Iwa had an enormous appetite, and the villagers had to prepare huge amounts of food just to satisfy his hunger. What he ate in a single meal could have fed a thousand men, but as long as he was full, he remained calm and even helped the people.

However, problems began to arise when the food supplies in the village started to run low. The barns were nearly empty, and the next harvest was still far away. As Kebo Iwa’s hunger grew, so did his anger. Unable to control himself, he became wild and destructive. In his rage, he destroyed houses and temples, causing fear and suffering among the Balinese people. The villagers, who once depended on him, now felt threatened by his uncontrollable power.

Realizing they could no longer live in peace, the villagers gathered together to find a way to stop Kebo Iwa. They knew they could not defeat him by strength, so they decided to use his weakness—his lack of intelligence. They came up with a clever plan and asked Kebo Iwa to build a very deep well for them, as well as rebuild the houses and temples he had destroyed. To ensure he agreed, they promised to provide him with plenty of food.

After eating a large meal, Kebo Iwa began to dig the deep well as requested. He worked tirelessly, digging deeper and deeper into the ground. One day, after eating too much food, he became very tired and fell asleep inside the deep hole he had made. This was the moment the villagers had been waiting for. The oldest man in the village gave a signal for everyone to begin their plan.

The villagers quickly threw large amounts of limestone into the hole, covering Kebo Iwa while he slept. The limestone reacted with the water, making it extremely hot and boiling. Trapped inside, Kebo Iwa could not escape and was buried alive. Over time, the water in the well rose higher and higher until it overflowed, forming what is now known as Lake Batur. Meanwhile, the pile of earth dug up by Kebo Iwa became Mount Batur, leaving behind a legend that is still told in Bali today.

Text 3 Dayang Sumbi
Once upon a time in West Java, there lived a king who had a very beautiful daughter named Dayang Sumbi. She was known for her beauty and her love of weaving. One day, while she was weaving a piece of cloth, one of her tools fell to the ground. Feeling tired and too lazy to pick it up herself, she called out loudly, promising that whoever helped her would receive a special reward. She said that if the helper was a woman, she would treat her as a sister, but if it was a man, she would marry him. To her surprise, a male dog named Tumang came and brought her the tool. Shocked by what had happened, Dayang Sumbi regretted her words, but she could not break her promise. In the end, she married Tumang and left the palace to live in a small village.

After some time, Dayang Sumbi gave birth to a son named Sangkuriang, who grew up to be a handsome and healthy boy. Sangkuriang loved hunting, especially chasing deer in the forest, and he was always accompanied by Tumang. One day, Dayang Sumbi asked him to hunt a deer and bring back its heart. Sangkuriang went into the forest with Tumang, but after days of searching, he could not find any deer. Feeling desperate and afraid of disappointing his mother, he made a terrible mistake—he killed Tumang and took his heart, not knowing that Tumang was actually his father. When he gave the heart to Dayang Sumbi, she immediately realized the truth. Filled with anger and grief, she struck Sangkuriang on the head, leaving a scar, and drove him away from home.

Many years later, Sangkuriang grew into a strong young man and wandered far from his village. One day, he returned to his homeland without realizing it. There, he met a beautiful woman—Dayang Sumbi, who had been granted eternal youth and still looked young. Neither of them recognized each other, and they soon fell in love. Sangkuriang wanted to marry her, but Dayang Sumbi eventually noticed the scar on his head and realized that he was her son. Shocked and desperate to stop the marriage, she told him the truth, but Sangkuriang refused to believe her.

Unable to convince him, Dayang Sumbi came up with a difficult condition. She agreed to marry him only if he could build a large lake and a boat in a single night. Sangkuriang accepted the challenge and, with the help of supernatural beings, began working tirelessly. By midnight, he had almost completed the lake by building a dam on the Citarum River, and he continued working on the boat. Seeing that he was close to success, Dayang Sumbi became worried and decided to trick him. She created a bright light in the east to make it seem like dawn had arrived. Believing that morning had come, the spirits left Sangkuriang before he could finish his task.

Realizing that he had been deceived and had failed to complete the boat, Sangkuriang became furious. In his anger, he kicked the unfinished boat with great force, causing it to flip upside down. The boat then turned into a mountain known as Mount Tangkuban Perahu, which means “the upside-down boat.” To this day, the mountain is said to resemble an overturned boat, and the story remains a famous legend in West Java.

Text 4 Ah Tim
A long time ago, very few people lived in the New Territories, and the land was mostly covered with thick forests and wild nature. Only a small number of villages existed, separated by long and dangerous paths. Whenever people wanted to travel from one village to another, they had to pass through these dark and unsafe forests, where wild animals often roamed freely. Despite the danger, the villagers had no other choice, so they traveled carefully and usually not alone.

One day, a farmer’s young wife decided to visit her mother and brother who lived in the next village. She brought along her baby son, holding him close as she made the journey. After spending some time with her family, it was time for her to return home. Seeing that the evening was approaching and the forest would soon grow dark, her brother became worried. He asked his own son, Ah Tim, to accompany her and guide her safely through the forest.

Ah Tim walked ahead confidently, while the young woman followed behind, carrying her baby. As they entered the forest, the atmosphere became quiet and tense. Suddenly, a group of wolves appeared from the shadows. Frightened, they both ran as fast as they could to escape. Unfortunately, Ah Tim tripped over a stone and fell to the ground. In an instant, the wolves surrounded him. The young woman, filled with panic and fear, made a brave and heartbreaking decision. She cried out to the wolves, offering her own baby instead, and placed her child on the ground while pulling her nephew away to safety.

They rushed back to the village and called for help. Hearing the story, the villagers quickly gathered with thick sticks and weapons, determined to save the baby. Together, they followed the young woman back into the forest, their hearts filled with worry and fear about what they might find. The journey felt long and heavy as they imagined the worst.

However, when they finally reached the place, they witnessed something truly unexpected. Instead of harming the baby, the wolves were gently playing with him, as if he were one of their own. The villagers were amazed and relieved, realizing that the woman’s kindness and selflessness had somehow touched the wild animals. From that day on, her story was remembered as a powerful example of love, sacrifice, and the goodness of the human heart.

Text 5 Hansel
The old witch locked Hansel in a cage and forced Gretel to stay in the house and do all the chores. She treated them cruelly and planned to eat them both once they were ready. Every night, the children cried together, feeling scared and helpless. They begged the witch to let them go, but she only laughed and ignored their pleas. Day by day, their hope seemed to fade as they remained trapped in the witch’s house deep in the forest.

Meanwhile, back at home, their stepmother began to feel deep regret for what she had done. At first, she had wanted to get rid of the children, but now she realized how cruel her actions had been. Guilt filled her heart, and she could no longer live in peace knowing Hansel and Gretel were alone in the dangerous forest. Determined to fix her mistake, she decided to go out and search for them, no matter how long it would take.

After many hours of walking through the forest, the stepmother grew tired and thirsty, but she refused to give up. Eventually, she came across a small cottage hidden among the trees. Something about it felt strange, yet she approached carefully. When she looked through the window, her heart sank as she saw Hansel locked in a cage and Gretel working inside. At that moment, she knew she had found them and had to act quickly.

Quietly, the stepmother picked up a broom leaning against the door and crept into the house. Inside, the witch was busy preparing food by the oven, unaware of her presence. Gathering all her courage, the stepmother rushed forward and pushed the witch with all her strength. The witch fell into the oven, and without hesitation, the stepmother quickly shut the door, trapping her inside and ending her evil plans forever.

“Children, I have come to save you,” she said as she hugged Hansel and Gretel tightly. With tears in her eyes, she admitted her mistakes and asked for their forgiveness. The children, filled with relief and love, forgave her, and together they returned home. From that day on, the stepmother became kind and caring, treating them with love and warmth. Their family was finally reunited, and they lived happily ever after.

Text 6 Puerto Rico
A man in Puerto Rico had a wonderful parrot unlike any other. The bird was incredibly smart and could say almost any word it heard. People were amazed at how clearly and quickly it could speak. However, there was one strange thing about the parrot—it refused to say the name of the town where it was born, which was Catano. No matter how many times it heard the word, the parrot would not repeat it.

The man was determined to teach the parrot to say “Catano.” At first, he tried patiently, repeating the word again and again in a calm voice. But the parrot remained silent. As time went on, the man became frustrated and then angry. He began shouting, calling the bird stupid and threatening it. “Say Catano, or I will kill you!” he yelled repeatedly. Despite his anger and threats, the parrot stubbornly refused to say the word.

One day, after many hours of trying without success, the man lost his temper completely. In his anger, he grabbed the parrot and threw it into the chicken house. “You are even more foolish than the chickens,” he said. “Soon I will eat them, and I will eat you too!” Inside the chicken house, there were four old chickens that the man planned to cook for Sunday’s dinner. The frightened parrot was left there among them as the man walked away.

The next day, the man returned to the chicken house, expecting to find everything as he had left it. However, when he opened the door, he was shocked by what he saw. Three chickens were lying dead on the floor, and the parrot was standing nearby, looking fierce and angry. The man could hardly believe his eyes and wondered what had happened during the night.

Then he heard the parrot shouting loudly at the last remaining chicken, “Say Catano, or I’ll kill you!” The man suddenly realized that the parrot had learned his angry words instead of the one word he had wanted it to say. The situation was both surprising and ironic, showing how the bird had copied not just language, but also the man’s behavior.

Once upon a time, there lived a little girl named Snow White. She was kind and gentle, but her life was not easy because her parents had passed away. She lived with her aunt and uncle, who took care of her, but they were not very loving. One day, Snow White overheard them talking about their plan to leave her behind in the castle because they wanted to go to America and did not have enough money to take her with them. Hearing this made Snow White very sad and worried about her future.

Not wanting to be abandoned, Snow White decided to take control of her own fate. Early the next morning, before anyone noticed, she quietly left the house and ran away into the woods. She walked for a long time, feeling scared, tired, and hungry. As the day went on, she began to lose her strength. Suddenly, she saw a small cottage hidden among the trees. Hoping to find help, she knocked on the door, but no one answered. With no other choice, she went inside and soon fell fast asleep.

Later that day, the owners of the cottage, the seven dwarfs, returned home from their work in the forest. They were surprised to find a young girl sleeping peacefully inside their home. At first, they were confused and a little worried, but when Snow White woke up, she greeted them kindly. The dwarfs asked her name, and she introduced herself as Snow White. Seeing that she was harmless, they listened carefully as she told them her sad story.

After hearing everything, the dwarfs felt sympathy for Snow White. They realized that she had nowhere else to go and needed a safe place to stay. Being kind-hearted, they offered her a place to live with them in the cottage. Snow White was very grateful and happily accepted their offer. She promised to help them with daily chores and to be a good companion.

From that day on, Snow White lived together with the seven dwarfs in peace and happiness. They cared for each other like a family, sharing their days with laughter and kindness. Snow White finally found the love and safety she had been missing. In the end, they all lived happily ever after.

Text 9 Medang Kamulan
Long ago, in the Kingdom of Medang Kamulan in Java, there lived a cruel king named Dewata Cengkar, who had a terrible habit of eating the flesh of his own people. The kingdom was filled with fear, as no one felt safe under his rule. One day, a brave young man named Aji Saka arrived from Bumi Majeti with the intention of defeating the evil king and freeing the people from suffering. Before leaving, Aji Saka entrusted his sacred heirloom, or pusoko, to his two loyal servants, Dara and Sembodo. He strictly instructed them that no one except himself was allowed to take it.

Aji Saka soon confronted Dewata Cengkar in a fierce battle. With great strength and courage, he managed to defeat the cruel king and push him into the South Sea. However, Dewata Cengkar did not die; instead, he transformed into a white crocodile known as Bajul Putih. After his victory, Aji Saka became the new ruler of Medang Kamulan, bringing peace and justice to the kingdom. Meanwhile, in a village called Dadapan, a woman found a mysterious egg and kept it in her rice barn. After some time, the egg disappeared, and in its place appeared a snake. When the villagers wanted to kill it, the snake spoke and claimed that he was the son of Aji Saka.

The snake was then brought to Aji Saka, who agreed to recognize him as his son only if he could defeat Bajul Putih in the South Sea. Accepting the challenge, the snake fought the powerful crocodile in a long and stormy battle. After a fierce struggle, the snake finally succeeded in killing Bajul Putih. True to his word, Aji Saka accepted the snake as his son and gave him the name Jaka Linglung. However, despite his victory, Jaka Linglung had strange and troubling behavior.

Living in the palace, Jaka Linglung became greedy and began eating the domestic animals belonging to the kingdom. This angered Aji Saka, who decided to punish him. The king banished Jaka Linglung to the jungle of Pesanga, where he was tightly bound so that he could not move his head. He was only allowed to eat whatever food happened to fall into his mouth. Alone in the jungle, Jaka Linglung lived in isolation, becoming a mysterious and feared creature.

One day, a group of nine village boys were playing near the jungle when a heavy rain suddenly began to fall. Looking for shelter, they found what seemed to be a cave. Eight of the boys quickly went inside, but one boy, who suffered from a severe skin disease, was left outside because the others did not want to be near him. Suddenly, the cave collapsed, and the eight boys inside disappeared. The boy who stayed outside survived. It was later revealed that the “cave” was actually the mouth of Jaka Linglung, who had swallowed the boys, leaving behind a tragic and unforgettable story.

Text 10 prince
Once upon a time, there was a prince who wished to marry a princess, but she had to be a real princess. Determined to find one, he traveled all over the world, meeting many princesses from different kingdoms. However, each time he met one, something did not feel quite right. He could never be sure whether they were truly real princesses or not. After a long journey filled with disappointment, the prince returned home feeling sad and hopeless, still dreaming of finding a true princess.

One evening, a terrible storm struck the kingdom. Lightning flashed across the sky, thunder roared loudly, and rain poured down heavily. In the middle of the storm, there was a sudden knock at the city gate. Curious, the old king went out to see who it was. To his surprise, he found a young woman standing there. She claimed to be a princess, but she looked miserable—her hair and clothes were completely soaked from the rain, and she looked far from royal.

Hearing her claim, the old queen quietly thought of a way to test whether the girl was truly a princess. Without saying anything, she went into the bedroom and prepared a special bed. She placed a single pea on the bottom board of the bed, then stacked twenty mattresses on top of it. After that, she added twenty soft feather pillows above the mattresses. That night, the young woman was invited to sleep on this unusual bed.

The next morning, the royal family asked the young woman how she had slept. She looked tired and uncomfortable as she answered honestly. She said she had slept very poorly because she had felt something hard beneath her the entire night. Her body was sore and bruised, as if she had been lying on something painful. Her response surprised everyone, as no ordinary person could have felt a tiny pea through so many layers.

From this, the king and queen knew that she must be a real princess, as only someone with such delicate sensitivity could notice the pea. The prince was overjoyed to finally find a true princess, just as he had always hoped. Soon after, they were married and lived happily ever after, their story becoming a famous tale of truth and true identity.

Text 11 widow
Once upon a time, there was a poor widow who lived with her only son, Jack. They were so poor that their only possession was an old cow. When the cow grew too old to produce milk, Jack’s mother decided that it was time to sell it. She sent Jack to the market with instructions to get a good price. On the way, Jack met a butcher who was carrying some strange but beautiful beans. The butcher told Jack that the beans were magical and very valuable. Believing him, Jack agreed to trade the cow for the beans and returned home feeling pleased with his decision.

However, when Jack told his mother what he had done, she became extremely angry. She scolded him for being foolish and threw the beans out of the window in frustration. That night, Jack went to bed feeling sad. But the next morning, something extraordinary had happened. A giant beanstalk had grown from the place where the beans were thrown. It reached high up into the sky, disappearing into the clouds. Amazed and curious, Jack climbed out of the window and began to climb the beanstalk, going higher and higher until he reached the sky.

At the top, Jack found himself in a strange land where he saw a huge and magnificent castle. Filled with curiosity, he walked toward it and knocked on the door. A large woman, the giant’s wife, opened it. Jack politely greeted her and asked for some food because he was very hungry. At first, she was annoyed, but seeing that he was just a poor boy, she kindly gave him some bread, cheese, and milk.

While Jack was eating, the ground suddenly began to shake with heavy footsteps. The giantess panicked and told Jack that her husband, a fearsome giant, was coming home. Afraid that the giant would eat Jack, she quickly hid him inside a large cupboard to keep him safe. Jack stayed very still and quiet, listening to the loud footsteps grow closer.

Moments later, the giant entered the house, his presence filling the room with fear. Jack could hear everything from inside the cupboard, his heart beating fast. He knew he was in great danger, but he also felt a sense of excitement about the adventure he had begun. Little did he know that this encounter would lead to even more thrilling events in the magical world above the clouds.

Text 12 The Lion King

In the Pride Lands of Africa, a lion ruled over the animals as a king. The birth of King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi’s son Simba created envy and resentment in Mufasa’s younger brother, Scar, who knew his nephew now replaced him as heir to the throne. After Simba had grown into a young cub, Mufasa gave him a tour of the Pride Lands, teaching him the responsibilities of being a king and the Circle of Life. Later that day, Scar tricked Simba and his best friend Nala into exploring a forbidden elephant graveyard, despite the protests of Mufasa’s hornbill majordomo Zazu.

At the graveyard, three spotted hyenas named Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed attack the cubs before Mufasa, alerted by Zazu, saved them and forgave Simba for his actions. That night, the hyenas, who were allied with Scar, plot with him to kill Mufasa and Simba.

The next day Scar lured Simba to a gorge and told him to wait there while he got Mufasa. On Scar’s orders, the hyenas stampeded a large herd of wildebeest into the gorge. Mufasa saved Simba, but as Mufasa tried to climb up the gorge’s walls, Scar threw him back into the stampede, where he was trampled to death. After Simba found Mufasa’s body, Scar convinced him he was responsible for his father’s death and advised Simba to flee the kingdom.

As Simba left, Scar ordered Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed to kill the cub, but Simba escaped. That night, Scar announced to the pride that both Mufasa and Simba were killed in the stampede and stepped forward as the new king, allowing a pack of hyenas to live in the Pride Lands.

After running far away, Simba collapsed from exhaustion in a desert. Timon and Pumbaa, a meerkat and a warthog, found him and nursed him back to health. Simba subsequently grew up with them in the jungle, living a carefree life with his friends under the motto “Hakuna Matata” (“no worries” in Swahili). When he was a young adult, Simba saved Timon and Pumbaa from a hungry lioness, who turned out to be Nala. She and Simba reconciled and fell in love.

Nala urged Simba to return home, telling him the Pride Lands had become a wasteland with not enough food and water. Feeling guilty over his father’s death, Simba refused and stormed off, leaving Nala disappointed and angry. As Simba exited the jungle, he encountered Mufasa’s mandrill friend and advisor, Rafiki. Rafiki told Simba that Mufasa was “alive” and took him to a pond. There Simba was visited by the ghost of Mufasa in the sky, who told him he took his rightful place as the king of the Pride Lands. Simba realized he could no longer run from his past and went home. Nala, Timon, and Pumbaa joined him and agreed to help him.

At the Pride Lands, Simba saw Scar hit Sarabi and confronted him, but Scar taunted Simba over his “part” in Mufasa’s death. However, when Scar pushed Simba to the edge of Pride Rock, he revealed that he killed Mufasa. Enraged, Simba roared back up and forced Scar to reveal the truth to the pride. Timon, Pumbaa, Rafiki, Zazu, and the lionesses fended off the hyenas while Scar, attempting to escape, was cornered by Simba at the top of Pride Rock. Scar begged Simba for mercy, insisting that he was family and placing the blame on the hyenas.

Simba no longer believed Scar but spared his life on the grounds of forever leaving the Pride Lands. Scar appeared to comply but then attacked his nephew. After a fierce fighting, Simba threw his uncle off Pride Rock. Scar survived the fall but was attacked and eaten alive by the hyenas, who overheard his attempted to betray them.

With Scar and the hyenas gone, Simba ascended to the top of Pride Rock and took over the kingdom as the rain fell again. Sometime later, with Pride Rock restored to its former glory, Simba looked down happily at his kingdom with Nala, Timon, and Pumbaa by his side; Rafiki presented Simba and Nala’s newborn cub to the inhabitants of the Pride Lands, and the Circle of Life continued.

Text 13 Rabbit & Turtle
Once upon a time, a rabbit was boasting proudly about how fast he could run. He laughed at a turtle, making fun of him for being slow and steady. The turtle, feeling annoyed but calm, challenged the rabbit to a race. The rabbit thought it was a joke and quickly accepted the challenge, feeling confident that he would easily win. A fox was chosen to be the umpire, and soon the race began with both animals at the starting line.

As expected, the rabbit dashed forward at great speed, leaving the turtle far behind. Within a short time, he reached the halfway point and looked back, but the turtle was nowhere to be seen. Feeling proud and overconfident, the rabbit thought there was no way he could lose. Since he was hot and tired, he decided to take a short nap under a tree, believing he still had plenty of time to win the race.

Meanwhile, the turtle continued moving forward slowly but steadily. Step by step, he walked without stopping, even though he felt tired and the sun was hot. He did not worry about how far ahead the rabbit was; instead, he focused on reaching the finish line. His determination and patience kept him going, and he never gave up, no matter how difficult the journey felt.

After some time, the rabbit suddenly woke up from his sleep. Realizing that he had slept longer than he intended, he quickly jumped up in panic. He looked around but could not see the turtle anywhere. Afraid that he might lose, he ran as fast as he could toward the finish line, using all his speed and energy.

However, when the rabbit finally reached the finish line, he was shocked to see the turtle already there, waiting calmly. The turtle had won the race through his hard work and persistence. The rabbit learned an important lesson that day: being slow and steady can be better than being fast but careless. From then on, he understood that arrogance and laziness can lead to failure.

Text 14 Bear
Once upon a time, there were three bears who lived together in a cozy little house in the forest: Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear. One morning, they prepared porridge for breakfast, but when they tasted it, it was still too hot to eat. “This porridge is too hot!” said Papa Bear. “This porridge is too hot!” said Mama Bear. “This porridge is too hot!” said Baby Bear. So, they decided to go for a walk in the forest while their porridge cooled down.

While the bears were away, a little girl named Goldilocks came walking through the forest and found their house. Curious, she knocked on the door, but when no one answered, she went inside. In the kitchen, she saw three bowls of porridge. She tasted the first one and said, “This is too hot.” Then she tried the second one and said, “This is too cold.” Finally, she tasted the third bowl and smiled, saying, “This is just right!” It was Baby Bear’s porridge, and she ate it all up.

After that, Goldilocks went into the living room and saw three chairs. She sat on the first one and said, “This is too hard.” Then she tried the second one and said, “This is too soft.” When she sat on the third chair, she said, “This is just right!” But suddenly, crash! the chair broke under her because it belonged to Baby Bear. Feeling a bit tired after all that, Goldilocks decided to explore further.

She went into the bedroom and found three beds. She lay down on the first bed and said, “This bed is too hard.” Then she tried the second bed and said, “This bed is too soft.” Finally, she lay on the third bed and said, “This bed is just right!” It was Baby Bear’s bed, and soon she fell fast asleep. Not long after, the three bears returned home from their walk.

When the bears entered the house, they immediately noticed that something was wrong. In the kitchen, they saw that someone had been eating their porridge, and Baby Bear cried, “And they ate it all up!” In the living room, they saw that someone had been sitting in their chairs, and Baby Bear’s chair was broken. Finally, they went into the bedroom and discovered Goldilocks sleeping in Baby Bear’s bed. She woke up, saw the three angry bears staring at her, and quickly jumped out of bed. Frightened, she ran out of the house and never returned again.

Text 15 Guizhou
Once upon a time, in a place called Guizhou, there lived a donkey that had been brought there by a man. However, the man soon realized that the donkey was of no use to him, so he set it free at the foot of a mountain. Not long after, a tiger came out from the forest and saw the strange animal. The donkey was large and unfamiliar, so the tiger became cautious. Thinking it might be a powerful or divine creature, the tiger hid in the forest and observed it from a distance, sometimes moving a little closer but still keeping himself safe.

One day, the tiger came out again to watch the donkey. Suddenly, the donkey let out a loud bray. The sound startled the tiger so much that he thought the donkey was about to attack or eat him. Terrified, the tiger ran away as fast as he could. However, after some time, curiosity brought him back. He carefully watched the donkey again and noticed that, although it looked big and strong, it did not seem to have any special abilities or dangerous actions.

As the days passed, the tiger grew more familiar with the donkey. He became used to its loud voice and realized that it was not as frightening as he had first thought. Gradually, his fear disappeared, and he started to move closer to the donkey. Sometimes, he even walked around it, observing its behavior. The donkey, however, did not seem to notice the danger it was in.

Eventually, the tiger became very bold. One day, he decided to test the donkey by walking right in front of it and deliberately bumping into it. The donkey became angry and kicked out with its hind legs. But this was the only thing it could do. Seeing this, the tiger laughed to himself and realized that such a large animal had very little strength or skill to defend itself.

With this knowledge, the tiger no longer hesitated. He roared loudly, pounced on the donkey, and quickly defeated it. In the end, the tiger ate the donkey. From this story, we learn that appearances can be deceiving, and something that seems powerful at first may not always be truly strong.

PART 3 DIALOGUE

1 Blambangan
A: Long, long ago, when gods and goddesses still took part in human life, there was a small and peaceful kingdom on the slopes of Mount Wayang.
B: It was ruled by a wise and just king named Sang Prabu, who was loved and respected by all his people.

A: His kingdom was prosperous, wasn’t it?
B: Yes, everything was perfect—except for one thing that troubled the king deeply.

A: Let me guess… it was about his daughter?
B: Exactly. His only daughter, Princess Teja Nirmala, was beautiful, kind, and gentle, but she was still unmarried.

A: That must have worried him a lot as a father.
B: It did. He wanted to make sure she would have a достой and loving husband.

A: So what did Sang Prabu decide to do?
B: He organized a grand competition and invited princes and noblemen from many kingdoms to prove their strength and worth.

A: That sounds exciting! Many must have come.
B: Yes, many strong and ambitious men arrived, each hoping to win the princess’s hand.

A: Who finally won the competition?
B: A brave and noble prince from Blambangan named Raden Begawan.

A: He must have been very impressive.
B: He was. He showed not only strength but also wisdom and honor, which made everyone admire him.

A: I imagine the king was very happy.
B: Yes, Sang Prabu was relieved, and the whole kingdom celebrated, believing a joyful future was near.

A: And what about Princess Teja Nirmala?
B: She felt hopeful and ready to accept her future with Raden Begawan.

A: But something went wrong, didn’t it?
B: Yes… their happiness did not last long.

A: What happened?
B: A wicked fairy named Princess Segara secretly fell in love with Raden Begawan.

A: Oh no, that sounds dangerous.
B: It was. She was filled with jealousy and desire, and she couldn’t accept that he would marry someone else.

A: So she used magic?
B: Yes, dark magic. She cast a spell on Raden Begawan, making him lose his memory.

A: That’s terrible! He forgot everything?
B: Everything—the competition, the princess, and his promise.

A: What did he do after that?
B: He wandered aimlessly, confused and unaware of who he really was.

A: The king must have been very worried.
B: He was. Sang Prabu ordered his men to search everywhere for the missing prince.

A: Did they eventually find him?
B: Yes, they did. And when they met him, his memory slowly returned.

A: That must have been a relief.
B: For a moment, yes. Raden Begawan realized he had been enchanted and wanted to return to fulfill his promise.

A: So everything could have been fixed?
B: It could have… but Princess Segara couldn’t accept losing him.

A: What did she do then?
B: In a fit of rage and despair, she chose a cruel path.

A: Don’t tell me…
B: Yes… she killed Raden Begawan.

A: That’s heartbreaking…
B: It was a tragic end to what should have been a joyful union.

A: How did Princess Teja Nirmala react?
B: She was devastated. Her heart was filled with deep sorrow and grief.

A: I can imagine how painful that must have been.
B: She mourned not only the man she loved but also the future that was taken from her.

A: Did anyone help her?
B: Yes, a kind and gentle fairy took pity on her suffering.

A: What did the fairy do?
B: The fairy brought Princess Teja Nirmala to Kahyangan, a heavenly place far from pain and sorrow.

A: Did she finally find peace there?
B: Yes, she left behind the pain of the mortal world and found peace in heaven.

A: That’s both sad and beautiful at the same time.
B: Indeed. Her story became a legend, remembered for generations as a tale of love, jealousy, and loss.

Text 2: Kebo Iwa 

A: A long time ago, on the island of Bali, there lived a giant-like creature named Kebo Iwa.
B: Yes, he was known as a very powerful being who could both create and destroy.

A: That sounds frightening. Did people fear him?
B: Not at first. As long as he was well-fed, he was calm and even helped the villagers.

A: Helped them? In what way?
B: He used his great strength to build things and assist the people with heavy work.

A: But I heard he had a huge appetite.
B: That’s right. He could eat as much food as a thousand men in just one meal.

A: That must have been difficult for the villagers.
B: It became a serious problem. They had to prepare enormous amounts of food every day.

A: What happened when their food started running out?
B: The situation grew dangerous. The barns became empty, and the next harvest was still far away.

A: So Kebo Iwa became hungry?
B: Yes, and as his hunger increased, so did his anger.

A: Did he lose control?
B: Completely. He became wild and destructive, destroying houses and temples.

A: That must have terrified the villagers.
B: It did. The people who once depended on him now lived in fear of him.

A: So they had to do something to stop him, right?
B: Exactly. The villagers gathered together to find a solution.

A: Couldn’t they just fight him?
B: No, he was far too strong. They knew they couldn’t defeat him by force.

A: Then what did they do?
B: They decided to use his weakness—his lack of intelligence.

A: That’s clever. What was their plan?
B: They asked Kebo Iwa to dig a very deep well and rebuild everything he had destroyed.

A: Why would he agree to that?
B: They promised to give him plenty of food in return.

A: And of course, he couldn’t refuse food.
B: Exactly. After eating a huge meal, he began digging the well.

A: Did he work hard on it?
B: Yes, he worked tirelessly, digging deeper and deeper into the ground.

A: Then what happened?
B: One day, after eating too much again, he became very tired.

A: Let me guess—he fell asleep?
B: Yes, right inside the deep hole he had dug.

A: That must have been the villagers’ chance.
B: It was. The oldest man gave a signal to begin their plan.

A: What did they do next?
B: The villagers quickly threw large amounts of limestone into the hole.

A: Limestone? Why that?
B: Because when it mixed with water, it created intense heat and boiling conditions.

A: That sounds deadly.
B: It was. Kebo Iwa was trapped inside and couldn’t escape.

A: So he was buried alive?
B: Yes, and over time, the water in the well rose higher and higher.

A: What did it become?
B: It overflowed and formed what we now know as Lake Batur.

A: And what about the earth he dug out?
B: It became Mount Batur.

A: So both the lake and the mountain came from this event?
B: According to the legend, yes.

A: That’s an incredible story—both tragic and fascinating.
B: Indeed. It remains one of the most famous legends in Bali.

3 Dayang Sumbi
A: Once upon a time in West Java, there lived a king who had a very beautiful daughter named Dayang Sumbi.
B: Yes, she was famous not only for her beauty but also for her skill in weaving.

A: What happened to her one day while she was weaving?
B: One of her tools fell to the ground, and she felt too tired to pick it up herself.

A: So she asked someone to help?
B: Yes, she made a promise. She said that whoever helped her would receive a special reward.

A: What kind of reward?
B: If it was a woman, she would treat her like a sister. But if it was a man, she would marry him.

A: That sounds like a risky promise. Who helped her?
B: Surprisingly, a male dog named Tumang came and picked up the tool.

A: A dog? That must have shocked her.
B: It did. She regretted her promise, but she couldn’t break her word.

A: So she really married Tumang?
B: Yes, she did, and they left the palace to live in a small village.

A: Did they have any children?
B: Yes, they had a son named Sangkuriang.

A: What was he like?
B: He grew into a handsome and strong boy who loved hunting in the forest.

A: Did Tumang stay with him?
B: Yes, Tumang always accompanied him while hunting.

A: What happened one day in the forest?
B: Dayang Sumbi asked Sangkuriang to hunt a deer and bring back its heart.

A: Was he able to find one?
B: No, after searching for days, he couldn’t find any deer.

A: So what did he do?
B: Out of desperation and fear of disappointing his mother, he made a terrible mistake.

A: What mistake?
B: He killed Tumang and took his heart, not knowing that Tumang was actually his father.

A: That’s tragic… what did Dayang Sumbi do?
B: When she realized the truth, she was filled with anger and sorrow.

A: Did she punish him?
B: Yes, she struck him on the head, leaving a scar, and drove him away from home.

A: What happened to Sangkuriang after that?
B: He wandered far away and grew into a strong young man.

A: Did he ever return home?
B: Yes, many years later, he returned to his homeland without realizing it.

A: Did he meet his mother again?
B: Yes, but he didn’t recognize her because she had been granted eternal youth and still looked young.

A: That must have caused a problem.
B: It did. They met as strangers and eventually fell in love.

A: That’s shocking… did Dayang Sumbi realize who he was?
B: Yes, she noticed the scar on his head and recognized him as her son.

A: What did she do then?
B: She tried to tell him the truth, but Sangkuriang refused to believe her.

A: So how did she try to stop the marriage?
B: She gave him a very difficult condition.

A: What was it?
B: She said she would marry him only if he could build a lake and a large boat in a single night.

A: That sounds impossible.
B: But Sangkuriang accepted the challenge and used the help of supernatural beings.

A: Was he close to finishing it?
B: Yes, by midnight, the lake was almost complete, and the boat was nearly finished.

A: Then what did Dayang Sumbi do?
B: She became worried and decided to trick him.

A: How?
B: She created a bright light in the east to make it look like dawn had arrived.

A: And the spirits believed it?
B: Yes, they thought morning had come and left before finishing the work.

A: What happened to Sangkuriang after that?
B: When he realized he had been tricked, he became extremely angry.

A: What did he do in his anger?
B: He kicked the unfinished boat with great force.

A: And what happened to the boat?
B: It flipped upside down and turned into a mountain.

A: Is that the mountain we know today?
B: Yes, it became Mount Tangkuban Perahu, which means “the upside-down boat.”

A: That’s an incredible legend.
B: Indeed, and the mountain is said to still resemble an overturned boat to this day.

4 Ah Tim
A: A long time ago, the New Territories were mostly covered with thick forests and wild nature.
B: Yes, and only a few villages existed, separated by long and dangerous paths.

A: That must have made traveling very difficult.
B: It did. People had to walk through dark forests filled with wild animals, so they were always careful and rarely traveled alone.

A: What happened one day in that place?
B: A farmer’s young wife decided to visit her mother and brother in another village.

A: Did she go alone?
B: No, she brought her baby son with her.

A: That sounds risky.
B: It was, but she safely reached her family and stayed with them for some time.

A: What happened when she wanted to go home?
B: It was getting late, and the forest would soon become dark and dangerous.

A: So someone helped her?
B: Yes, her brother was worried and asked his son, Ah Tim, to accompany her.

A: Was Ah Tim brave?
B: Yes, he walked ahead confidently, guiding his aunt through the forest.

A: And the woman followed behind with her baby?
B: Exactly, holding her child close as they entered the quiet and tense forest.

A: Did anything dangerous happen?
B: Suddenly, a group of wolves appeared from the shadows.

A: That must have been terrifying!
B: It was. They both ran as fast as they could to escape.

A: Were they able to get away?
B: Unfortunately, no. Ah Tim tripped over a stone and fell.

A: Oh no… what happened then?
B: The wolves quickly surrounded him.

A: What did the woman do?
B: She was filled with panic, but she made a very brave and heartbreaking decision.

A: What decision?
B: She offered her own baby to the wolves to save Ah Tim.

A: That’s such a painful choice…
B: Yes, she placed her baby on the ground and pulled Ah Tim away to safety.

A: What did they do after escaping?
B: They ran back to the village and called for help.

A: Did the villagers respond quickly?
B: Yes, they gathered with sticks and weapons and followed them into the forest.

A: They must have been very worried about the baby.
B: They were. The journey felt long and full of fear as they expected the worst.

A: What did they find when they arrived?
B: Something completely unexpected.

A: What was it?
B: The wolves were not harming the baby at all.

A: Really? What were they doing?
B: They were gently playing with him, as if he were one of their own.

A: That’s unbelievable…
B: The villagers were amazed and deeply relieved.

A: Why do you think the wolves didn’t hurt the baby?
B: They believed the woman’s love and selflessness touched the hearts of the wild animals.

A: What happened after that?
B: The baby was safely brought back, and everyone returned to the village.

A: Was the story remembered?
B: Yes, it became a powerful legend about love, sacrifice, and kindness.

A: That’s a very meaningful story.
B: Indeed, it reminds us how strong a mother’s love can be, even in the face of great danger.

5 Hansel
A: The old witch locked Hansel in a cage and forced Gretel to stay in the house doing all the chores.
B: Yes, she treated them very cruelly and planned to eat them when the time was right.

A: That must have been terrifying for them.
B: It was. Every night, they cried together, feeling scared and helpless.

A: Did they try to ask for help?
B: Yes, they begged the witch to let them go, but she only laughed at them.

A: That’s so cruel…
B: Day by day, their hope began to fade as they remained trapped in the forest.

A: What was happening back at home?
B: Their stepmother started to feel deep regret for what she had done.

A: Really? She changed her mind?
B: Yes, she realized how cruel it was to abandon the children.

A: So what did she do?
B: She decided to search for Hansel and Gretel, no matter how long it would take.

A: Was it easy for her to find them?
B: Not at all. She walked for hours through the forest, feeling tired and thirsty.

A: Did she ever give up?
B: No, she kept going until she found a small, strange cottage hidden among the trees.

A: Was it the witch’s house?

A: What did she do next?

A: Was the witch there?

A: That’s a happy ending.
B: It is. They returned home together as a family.

A: Did the stepmother change?

A: And they lived happily ever after?
B: Yes, their family was finally reunited, and they lived in peace.

6 Puerto Rico
A: A man in Puerto Rico had a very special parrot.

B: Yes, it was incredibly smart and could say almost any word it heard.

A: That sounds amazing.

B: People were very impressed by how clearly and quickly it could speak.

A: But there was something strange about it, right?

B: Yes, the parrot refused to say the name of its hometown, Catano.

A: Even after hearing it many times?

B: Yes, no matter how often, it would not repeat that word.

A: What did the man do about it?

B: He tried to teach the parrot patiently at first, repeating “Catano” again and again.

A: Did it work?

B: No, the parrot stayed silent.

A: I guess the man became frustrated.

B: He did. Over time, he became angry and started shouting at the parrot.

A: What did he say?

B: He called it stupid and even threatened it, saying, “Say Catano, or I will kill you!”

A: That’s very harsh.

A: What was it saying?

B: It said, “Say Catano, or I’ll kill you!”

A: That’s exactly what the man had said!

A: That’s ironic and a bit funny.

B: Indeed, it shows how actions and words can influence others in unexpected ways.

7 Snow White
A: Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Snow White.

The Lion King

In the Pride Lands of Africa, a lion ruled over the animals as a king. The birth of King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi’s son Simba created envy and resentment in Mufasa’s younger brother, Scar, who knew his nephew now replaced him as heir to the throne. After Simba had grown into a young cub, Mufasa gave him a tour of the Pride Lands, teaching him the responsibilities of being a king and the Circle of Life. Later that day, Scar tricked Simba and his best friend Nala into exploring a forbidden elephant graveyard, despite the protests of Mufasa’s hornbill majordomo Zazu.

At the graveyard, three spotted hyenas named Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed attack the cubs before Mufasa, alerted by Zazu, saved them and forgave Simba for his actions. That night, the hyenas, who were allied with Scar, plot with him to kill Mufasa and Simba.

The next day Scar lured Simba to a gorge and told him to wait there while he got Mufasa. On Scar’s orders, the hyenas stampeded a large herd of wildebeest into the gorge. Mufasa saved Simba, but as Mufasa tried to climb up the gorge’s walls, Scar threw him back into the stampede, where he was trampled to death. After Simba found Mufasa’s body, Scar convinced him he was responsible for his father’s death and advised Simba to flee the kingdom.

As Simba left, Scar ordered Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed to kill the cub, but Simba escaped. That night, Scar announced to the pride that both Mufasa and Simba were killed in the stampede and stepped forward as the new king, allowing a pack of hyenas to live in the Pride Lands.

After running far away, Simba collapsed from exhaustion in a desert. Timon and Pumbaa, a meerkat and a warthog, found him and nursed him back to health. Simba subsequently grew up with them in the jungle, living a carefree life with his friends under the motto “Hakuna Matata” (“no worries” in Swahili). When he was a young adult, Simba saved Timon and Pumbaa from a hungry lioness, who turned out to be Nala. She and Simba reconciled and fell in love.

Nala urged Simba to return home, telling him the Pride Lands had become a wasteland with not enough food and water. Feeling guilty over his father’s death, Simba refused and stormed off, leaving Nala disappointed and angry. As Simba exited the jungle, he encountered Mufasa’s mandrill friend and advisor, Rafiki. Rafiki told Simba that Mufasa was “alive” and took him to a pond. There Simba was visited by the ghost of Mufasa in the sky, who told him he took his rightful place as the king of the Pride Lands. Simba realized he could no longer run from his past and went home. Nala, Timon, and Pumbaa joined him and agreed to help him.

At the Pride Lands, Simba saw Scar hit Sarabi and confronted him, but Scar taunted Simba over his “part” in Mufasa’s death. However, when Scar pushed Simba to the edge of Pride Rock, he revealed that he killed Mufasa. Enraged, Simba roared back up and forced Scar to reveal the truth to the pride. Timon, Pumbaa, Rafiki, Zazu, and the lionesses fended off the hyenas while Scar, attempting to escape, was cornered by Simba at the top of Pride Rock. Scar begged Simba for mercy, insisting that he was family and placing the blame on the hyenas.

Simba no longer believed Scar but spared his life on the grounds of forever leaving the Pride Lands. Scar appeared to comply but then attacked his nephew. After a fierce fighting, Simba threw his uncle off Pride Rock. Scar survived the fall but was attacked and eaten alive by the hyenas, who overheard his attempted to betray them.

With Scar and the hyenas gone, Simba ascended to the top of Pride Rock and took over the kingdom as the rain fell again. Sometime later, with Pride Rock restored to its former glory, Simba looked down happily at his kingdom with Nala, Timon, and Pumbaa by his side; Rafiki presented Simba and Nala’s newborn cub to the inhabitants of the Pride Lands, and the Circle of Life continued.
