Bawang Merah and Bawang Putih
Once upon a time, in a small village in Indonesia, there lived two sisters named Bawang Merah and Bawang Putih. Bawang Merah was known for her wickedness and jealousy, while Bawang Putih was known for her kindness and beauty. Their mother had passed away when they were young, and their father had remarried a cruel and wicked stepmother who favored Bawang Merah and treated Bawang Putih poorly.
One day, the stepmother asked Bawang Putih to go to the river and wash some clothes. Bawang Putih obediently did as she was told and went to the river. While she was washing the clothes, a magic fish appeared and asked her why she was crying. Bawang Putih told the fish about her troubles and how her stepmother treated her badly.
The magic fish gave her a magical flower and told her to keep it safe. Bawang Putih returned home and showed the flower to her sister, Bawang Merah. However, Bawang Merah became jealous and stole the flower, hoping to use it for her own benefit.
The next day, Bawang Merah went to the river to wash some clothes, and the magic fish appeared to her. But instead of asking why she was crying, the fish scolded her for her wickedness and told her that she would be punished for her actions.
The magic flower that Bawang Merah had stolen from her sister turned into a stone, and she was unable to remove it from her hand. She became known as “Bawang Merah Berbatu” or “Onion with a Stone,” while Bawang Putih’s kindness and beauty earned her the nickname “Bawang Putih Bersih” or “Clean Garlic.”
In the end, Bawang Putih married a kind and wealthy prince, while Bawang Merah was left alone to suffer the consequences of her actions. The story teaches the importance of kindness, honesty, and compassion, and the consequences of greed and jealousy.
