1. Bawang Merah 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.
2. Malin Kundang
Once upon a time, there was a poor fisherman named Malin Kundang who lived in a
small village on the coast of West Sumatra, Indonesia. Despite his humble origins,
Malin Kundang had dreams of wealth and success, and he left his village to seek his
fortune in the big city.
Years passed, and Malin Kundang became incredibly rich through his hard work and
business acumen. He married a beautiful woman and had a son, but he never
returned to his village or acknowledged his past.

One day, Malin Kundang’s ship was anchored near the coast of his hometown, and
he saw an old woman waving at him from the shore. She was none other than his
mother, who had been searching for him for many years. Malin Kundang was
ashamed of his humble origins and refused to acknowledge her, instead ordering his
crew to set sail and leave the shore.
As the ship sailed away, a storm suddenly appeared, and the ship was battered by
huge waves. Malin Kundang tried to save himself, but he slipped and fell onto the
deck, where he was struck by lightning and turned into a stone statue.
3. Roro Jonggrang
Long ago, in the land of Central Java, there lived a powerful king named Prabu
Baka. He was a cruel and selfish ruler who cared only about his own desires and
pleasures. One day, he decided to build a grand temple to showcase his wealth and
power. He ordered his subjects to work day and night, using all of their strength to
build the temple.
But the people were exhausted and could not continue their work. So, the king made
a deal with a powerful demon named Bandung Bondowoso. He promised to give the
demon the most beautiful woman in the land, Roro Jonggrang, in exchange for his
help in completing the temple.
Bandung Bondowoso agreed to the deal and used his supernatural powers to
complete the temple in a single night. But when the king refused to honor his end of
the bargain and give him Roro Jonggrang, the demon became furious.
With his powers, Bandung Bondowoso turned Roro Jonggrang into a statue and
placed her in the temple, where she became known as Durga, the goddess of
destruction. When the king discovered what had happened, he was filled with regret
and pleaded with the goddess to forgive him and bring Roro Jonggrang back to life.
Durga agreed to forgive the king, but she refused to release Roro Jonggrang from
her statue form. Instead, she demanded that the king build a thousand temples in
honor of the goddess and her worshippers. The king agreed and built the temples,
one after another, until he reached the final temple.
At this temple, he was assisted by Roro Jonggrang’s spirit, who urged him to stop
building before he could complete the thousandth temple. And so, to this day, the
final temple remains incomplete, a symbol of the king’s greed and the power of the
supernatural forces that can be unleashed by such greed.
4. Toba Lake
The Legend of Toba Lake tells the story of a young orphan farmer who lived in the
northern part of Sumatra. Syahdan, the young man, earned his living from farming
and fishing. One day while fishing, he caught a beautiful golden brown fish which
transformed into a beautiful princess in his hands. This princess was cursed to turn
into a creature if touched by a human, due to violating a prohibition. As a result of
the young man touching her, she became a princess.
Mesmerized by her beauty, the young man proposed to her. She agreed, but with
the condition that he must never reveal her origin as a fish. He agreed to this
condition, and they got married and had a son. However, the son had a bad habit of
always wanting more food and eating everything in sight.
One day, the son ate all the food that was supposed to be for his father, and in his
anger, the young man revealed the secret of his wife’s origin. This broke his promise
and caused his wife and son to disappear. From the land where they had stood,
springs emerged, and the water from these springs continued to flow and grow
larger, eventually becoming the vast Toba Lake that we know today.

The Legend of Mount Batur

A long time ago, there lived on the island of Bali a giant-like creature named Kbo
Iwo. The people of Bali used to say that Kbo Iwo was everything, a destroyer as well
as a creator. He was satisfied with the meal, but this meant for the Balinese people
enough food for a thousand men.
Difficulties arose when for the first time the barns were almost empty and the new
harvest was still a long way off. This made Kbo Iwo wild with great anger. In his
hunger, he destroyed all of the houses and even the temples. It made the Balinese
turn to rage.
So, they came together to plan steps to oppose this powerful giant by using his
stupidity. They asked Kbo Iwo to build them a very deep well, and rebuild all the
houses and temples he had destroyed. After they fed Kbo Iwo, he began to dig a
deep hole.
One day he had eaten too much, he fell asleep in the hole. The oldest man in the
village gave a sign, and the villagers began to throw the limestone they had
collected before into the hole. The limestone made the water inside the hole boiling.
Kbo Iwo was buried alive. Then the water in the well rose higher and higher until at
last it overflowed and formed Lake Batur. The mound of earth dug from the well by
Kbo Iwo is known as Mount Batur.

Rumus simple past tense untuk kalimat positif, negatif, dan interogatif yaitu:
(+) Subject + to be (was/were) + complement

(-) Subject +to be (was/were) + not + complement

Contoh Narrative Text
True Friends

Once upon a time, there were two close friends who were walking through the forest
together. They knew that anything dangerous can happen any time in the forest. So they
promised each other that they would always be together in any case of danger.

Suddenly, they saw a large bear getting closer toward them. One of them climbed a nearby
tree at once. But unfortunately the other one did not know how to climb up the tree. So being
led by his common sense, he lay down on the ground breathless and pretended to be a
dead man.

The bear came near the one who was lying on the ground. It smelt in his ears, and slowly left
the place because the bears do not want to touch the dead creatures. After that, the friend
on the tree came down and asked his friend who was on the ground, "Friend, what did the
bear whisper into your ears?" The other friend replied, "Just now the bear advised me not to
believe a false friend".

Moral of the story: True friend in need's a friend indeed.
