and the water for Onion and her mother. Later, she also gave eating to the livestock, washing clothes,

and even watering the entire garden. Although she should do so many works, she always did it
happily. She hoped, with such sincerity, her mother would love her sincerely someday.
On the morning, Garlic went to the river to wash the clothes. She was so excited and washed
vigorously. Because of getting too excited, she was not aware that there was a shirt that washed away.
She realized that the shirt had been washed away when the flow carried it far enough. Later, she
pursued but did not get the shirt. She felt hopeless and immediately went home.
The shirt was her mother's favorite. Of course, the mother was angry and told her to look for the shirt
until she could found it. Garlic came back to the river and walked to the west to seek her mother's
favorite shirt. She walked along the river up to tens of kilometers. After that, Garlic suddenly saw
someone who was bathing the buffalo in the river. She asked the man about the clothes were washed

take a break in the house. Apparently, it housed an old lady who had previously found the shirt. The
old lady wanted to return the shirt to her, but she should accompany the old lady during a week. She
agreed to stay with the lady for a week. Within a week, she made the old lady to be so happy because
she was diligent and never complained even though felt so tired.
After accompanying for a week, she was given a pumpkin as the gift. When opening it, she was very
surprised because there were so much gold and gems. She immediately went home and told the
happening to her mother and also Onion. However, the gold and jewels that she got immediately

seized and she was forced to tell where the jewelry could be obtained. Garlic immediately said that
she got it from an old lady who lived near the river.

In the next day, Onion came to that house and stayed for a week like what Garlic did. However,
because Onion was a lazy girl, the old lady gave a different pumpkin from Garlic. Onion did not care
and Onion immediately went home to open the pumpkin with her mother. Apparently, the content was
not gems or gold, but the venomous snake that bit of Onion and the mother. Both of them died
because of their greed.

Bawang Merah dan Bawang Putih
Pada zaman dahulu, ada sebuah keluarga kecil yang hidup bahagia. Keluarga tersebut terdiri dari
ayah, ibu, dan seorang gadis cantik bernama bawang putih. Mereka adalah keluarga yang harmonis
dan bahagia meskipun sang ayah hanya bekerja sebagai seorang pedagang biasa. Suatu hari,
kebahagiaan yang ada di dalam keluarga tersebut hilang karena sang ibu meninggal. Bawang putih
sangat sedih karena ia sangat menyayangi ibunya, begitu juga sang ayah yang sangat sedih karena
sang istri telah meninggal.
Setelah ibu bawang putih meninggal, rumahnya sering dikunjungi oleh seorang janda yang

mempunyai anak bernama bawang merah. Ibu bawang merah sering datang ke rumah bawang putih
dan membawakan makanan, membantu membersihkan rumah, dan mengobrol dengan ayah bawang
putih. Akhirnya, ayah bawang putih berpikir bahwa sebaiknya ia menikah dengan janda tersebut dan
menjadikannya sebagai ibu baru untuk bawang putih.
Ia meminta usul dan pertimbangan dari bawang putih. Setelah diizinkan untuk menikah oleh bawang
putih, maka sang ayah segera melaksanakan pernikahan dengan ibu bawang merah. Mereka menjadi
sebuah keluarga baru dan tinggal di rumah tersebut. Pada awalnya, ibu bawang merah dan bawang
merah sangat baik terhadap bawang putih. Namun, perilaku baik tersebut tidak bertahan lama. Lamakelamaan bawang merah dan ibunya mulai menunjukkan sikap buruk mereka. bawang putih sering
dimarah dan diberikan pekerjaan berat ketika sang ayah pergi berdagang. Ia harus mengerjakan
banyak pekerjaan rumah sementara bawang merah hanya duduk dan tidak bekerja sama sekali.
Namun, keadaan tersebut tidak pernah diceritakan olehnya kepada sang ayah, sehingga bawang putih
terus diperlakukan secara buruk oleh bawang merah dan ibunya.
Pada suatu hari sang ayah sakit dan meninggal dunia. Sejak saat itu, bawang merah dan ibunya
memperlakukan bawang putih semakin buruk. Bawang putih hampir tidak pernah istirahat setiap hari.
di pagi hari, ia harus bangun untuk mempersiapkan air dan sarapan bagi bawang merah dan ibunya.
Kemudian, ia juga harus member makan ternak, mencuci baju, dan bahkan menyirami seluruh kebun.
Meskipun pekerjaan yang harus ia kerjakan begitu banyak, namun bawan putih melakukan semua itu
dengan gembira. Ia berharap, dengan keikhlasan tersebut, sang ibu mau menyayanginya dengan tulus
dan menganggapnya sebagai anak kandung.
Pada suatu pagi, bawang putih pergi ke sungai untuk mencuci baju. Dia begitu gembira dan mencuci

dengan penuh semangat. Karena terlalu semangat, ia tidak sadar bahwa ada sebuah baju yang hanyut.
Ia menyadari bahwa baju tersebut hanyut ketika telah terbawa aliran yang cukup jauh. Kemudian, ia
mengejarnya dan tidak mendapatkan baju tersebut. Ia merasa putus asa dan segera pulang ke rumah.
Baju tersebut merupakan baju kesayangan ibu bawang merah. Tentu saja, sang ibu marah dan
menyuruhnya untuk mencari baju tersebut hingga ditemukan. Bawang putih kembali lagi ke sungai
dan berjalan ke arah barat untuk mencari baju kesayangan ibunya. Ia berjalan menyusuri aliran sungai
hingga puluhan kilometer. Setelah itu, bawang putih tiba-tiba melihat seseorang yang sedang

memandikan kerbau di sungai. Ia bertanya kepada orang itu mengenai baju yang hanyut. Kemudian,
ia mendapat informasi bahwa baju ibu bawang merah hanyut namun baju tersebut tidaklah jauh dari
tempatnya berdiri. Saat itu juga, bawang putih segera berlari menyusuri sungai untuk menemukan
baju tersebut.
Hari semakin gelap dan bawang putih menemukan sebuah rumah. Karena sangat lelah, ia
memutuskan untuk beristirahat sejenak di rumah tersebut. Ternyata, di dalamnya tinggal seorang
nenek yang sebelumnya sudah menemukan baju milik ibu bawang putih. Sang nenek ingin
mengembalikan baju tersebut kepada bawang putih, dengan syarat bawang putih harus menemaninya
selama seminggu. Bawang putih begitu iba dengan nenek tersebut, dan ia setuju untuk tinggal
bersama sang nenek selama seminggu. Dalam waktu satu minggu, ia membuat nenek tersebut amat
gembira karena bekerja dengan rajin dan tidak pernah mengeluh.
Setelah bawang putih menemani sang nenek selama seminggu, ia diberikan satu buah labu sebagai

hadiah. Ketika membuka labu tersebut, ia sangat terkejut karena didalamnya terdapat emas dan
permata yang begitu banyak. Ia segera pulang dan memberitahukan kejadian tersebut kepada sang ibu
dan juga bawang merah. Namun, emas dan permata yang ia dapatkan segera direbut dan ia dipaksa
untuk memberitahukan dimana perhiasan tersebut dapat diperoleh. Bawang putih segera mengatakan
bahwa ia mendapatkannya dari seorang nenek yang tinggal di dekat sungai.
Esok hari, bawang merah datang ke rumah nenek tersebut dan tinggal selama satu minggu. Namun,
karena bawang merah adalah gadis yang malas, maka sang nenek memberikannya labu yang berbeda
dari bawang putih. Bawang merah tidak peduli dan ia segera pulang dan membuka labu tersebut
bersama ibunya. Ternyata, isi labu tersebut bukanlah permata atau emas, namun ular berbisa yang
menggigit bawang merah dan ibunya. Kedua orang tersebut meninggal karena keserakahannya.

Bawang putih kini hidup sendiri namun ia lebih tenang karena tidak ada lagi orang yang
menganggunya. Ia hidup bahagia dengan emas dan permata yang dimilikinya.

I’ll put in my leg and find out.” Of course Mouse Deer didn’t put in his leg. He picked up a
stick instead and put one end into the water. Chomp…! Crocodile grabbed the stick and
pulled it underwater. Mouse Deer laughed. “Ha… ha…ha… Stupid crocodile! Cant you tell
the difference between a stick and a leg?” Then Mouse Deer ran off to drink somewhere else.

side of the river. He saw a floating log in the river. He knew that Crocodile looked like a log

when he floated. Mouse Deer didn’t want to be eaten by Crocodile when he crosses the river.

Mouse Deer. Have you come to be my lunch?” Mouse Deer smiled. “Sorry, not today,
Crocodile. I have orders from the King. He wants to invite all the crocodiles in this river to a
party. He wants me to count all the crocodiles so he could prepare enough meal for you.”
“Really…? Tell us what to do,” said Crocodile. “You must line up from this side of the river
to the other side,” said Mouse Deer. Crocodile then got all his friends and family. They lined
up across the river. Mouse Deer then jumped onto Crocodile’s back. “One,” he counted. He
jumped onto the next crocodile, “Two.” And the next crocodile, “Three.” Mouse Deer kept

Crocodile. “Just enough,” said Mouse Deer. He laughed as he ran to the forest.***

jatuh di sebuah pulau kecil. Itu benar-benar terlambat baginya untuk menghindari kutukan.
Tiba-tiba,
ia berubah menjadi batu.

Cerita rakyat from West Java
Prabu Tapa Agung had led a kingdom in West Java for a long time. He was getting old and therefore
wanted to choose a successor. But unfortunately, he had no son. He thought of choosing one of his
daughters, Purbararang and Purbasari. But it wasn’t an easy choice. They were both very pretty and
smart. The only difference was their temperament. Purbararang was rude and dishonest, while
Purbasari was kind and caring. With those considerations, Prabu Tapa Agung finally chose Purbasari
to be his successor.
Purbararang didn’t agree with her father’s decision. “It’s supposed to be me, Father. I’m the eldest
daughter!” Purbararang said. Prabu Tapa Agung smiled. “Purbararang, to be a queen takes more than
age. There are many other qualities that one must possess,” explained Prabu Tapa Agung wisely.
“What does Purbasari have that I don’t?” Purbararang pouted. “You’ll find out when Purbasari has
replaced me,” Prabu Tapa Agung answered.
After the discussion, Purbararang went back to her room. “Is there something wrong?” asked
Indrajaya. Indrajaya is Purbararang’s future husband. “I’m upset! Father chose Purbasari as his
successor and not me! I have to do something!” Purbararang said. Driven mad by her anger, she came
to a witch and asked her to send rash all over Purbasari’s body. Before going to bed, Purbasari started
to feel itch all over her body. She tried applying powder to her body, but it’s no use. Instead, the
itching grew even worse. She didn’t want to scratch it, but she just couldn’t help it. In the next
morning, there were scratch mark all over Purbasari’s body. “What happened to you?” asked
Purbararang, pretending to be concerned. “I don’t know, sis. Last night, my body suddenly felt very
itchy. I scratched and scratched, and this is what happened,” Purbasari answered. Purbararang shook
her head. “You must have done something really awful. You’ve been punished by the gods!”
That day, the whole kingdom was scandalized. “What have you done, Purbasari?” demanded Prabu
Tapa Agung. Purbasari shook her head. “I didn’t do anything that would upset the gods, Father,” she
answered. “Then how can you explain what happened to your body?” Prabu Tapa Agung asked again.
“If you don’t confess, I’ll banish you to the woods.” Purbasari took a deep breath. “Like I said before,
I didn’t do anything wrong. And I’d rather be thrown into the woods than to confess to a deed I didn’t
commit.”
After a short discussion with his advisor, Prabu Tapa Agung ordered Purbasari to be moved to the
woods. Purbasari was very sad, but she couldn’t do anything to defy her father’s order. She was
accompanied to the woods by a messenger. He built a simple hut for Purbasari. After the messenger
left, suddenly a black monkey came to Purbasari’s hut. He carried a bunch of bananas. From behind
him, some animals looked on. “Are the bananas for me?’ Purbasari asked. The black monkey nodded,
as if he understood what Purbasari said. Purbasari took the bananas with pleasure. She also said
thanks. The other animals that were looking on also seemed to smile. “Are you willing to be my
friend?” Purbasari asked them. All the animals nodded happily. Although she was living by herself in
the woods, Purbasari never lacked of supplies. Everyday, there were always animals bringing her
fruits and fish to eat.
A long time had passed since Purbasari was banished to the woods, but her body still itched. At some
places, her skin was even ulcerating. What am I supposed to do?” Purbasari sighed. The monkey who
was sitting next to her stayed still, there were tears in his eyes. He hoped Purbasari would remain
patient and strong.
One night, on a full moon, the monkey took Purbasari to a valley. There is a pond with hot spring
water. The monkey suddenly spoke, “The water of this pond will heal your skin,” he said. Purbasari
was surprised, ”You can talk? Who are you?” she asked. “You’ll find out, in time,” the monkey said.
Purbasari didn’t want to force the monkey. She then walked to the pond. She bathed there. After a few
hours, Purbasari walked out of the pond. She was shocked to see her face reflected on the clear pond
water. Her face was beautiful again, with smooth and clean skin. Purbasari observed her entire body.
There were no traces of any skin ailments. “I’m cured! I’m cured!” Purbasari shouted in joy. She
quickly offered thanks to the gods and also to the monkey.
The news of Purbasari’s condition quickly spread to the kingdom, irritating Purbararang. She then
accompanied by Indrajaya go to the woods to see Purbasari. Purbasari asked if she would be allowed
to go home. Purbararang said she would let Purbasari return to the palace if Purbasari’s hair were

longer than hers. Purbararang then let her hair down. It was so long, it almost touched the ground. But
it turned out that Purbasari’s hair was twice longer than Purbararang’s hair.
“Fine, so your hair is longer than mine.” Purbararang admitted. “But there is one more condition you
must fulfill, do you have a future husband who is handsomer than mine?” said Purbararang as she
walked toward Indrajaya. Purbasari felt miserable. She didn’t have a future husband yet. So, without
much thought, she pulled the black monkey beside her.
Purbararang and Indrajaya burst out, but their laughter didn’t last long. The monkey meditates and
suddenly transformed into a very handsome young man, a lot more handsome than Indrajaya. “I’m a
prince from a kingdom far away. I was cursed to be a monkey because of a mistake I committed. I
could regain my true form only if there’s a girl who would be willing to be my wife,” said the young
man.
Finally, Purbararang gave up. She accepted Purbasari as the queen, and also confessed everything she
had done. “Please forgive me. Please don’t punish me,” Purbararang said, asking for forgiveness.
Instead of being angry, Purbasari smiled. “I forgive you, sis,” she said. Soon after, Purbasari become
queen. Beside her was the handsome prince, the former monkey known as Lutung Kasarung.

Cerita rakyat from East Java
Raden Putra was the king of Jenggala kingdom. He had a beautiful queen and concubine. Unlike the
queen, the concubine had bad personalities. She was envious and jealous with the queen, so she
planned to make the queen leave the palace. The concubine then asked the royal healer to help her in
her plan. One day, the concubine pretended to be ill. Raden Putra called the royal healer to give the
concubine treatments. “What is her disease?” Raden Putra asked the royal healer. “I’m very sorry, My
Majesty. She is sick because the queen put poison in her meal,” the royal healer lied.
Raden Putra was shock and angry to hear the explanation. He called the queen and asked her if the
story was true. Of course the queen denied, but Raden Putra won’t listen. “Please Your Majesty, have
mercy. I really didn’t do anything,” cried the queen in her tears. Raden Putra’s anger ended in a
decision. The queen should be banished to the woods and terminated. He did not know that the queen
was already pregnant. Raden Putra commanded one of his general to do the punishment. The queen
was banished to the woods, but the wise general didn’t have the heart to kill her. He built a simple
house in the woods for her. On his way back to the palace, he smeared his sword with rabbit blood, so
Raden Putra would believe that he had killed the queen.
After the general left, the queen lived by herself in the woods. Several months later, she gave birth to
a healthy baby boy. The baby was named Cindelaras. He grew up as a nice, healthy, and handsome
boy. One day, while Cindelaras helped her mother to collect some fire woods, an eagle dropped an
egg. Cindelaras brought the egg to be brooded by a chicken behind their house. The egg hatched into
a chick and then it slowly became a strong rooster. The rooster is no ordinary rooster. The rooster
could sing. Every morning, the rooster woke Cindelaras up with its beautiful song, “My master is
Cindelaras. His house is in the woods. He’s the son of Raden Putra.” The rooster often sang that song.
Cindelaras always woke up early in the morning and listen happily to his rooster’s song. He didn’t
realize the meaning of the song until one day, he started to think. “Who is Raden Putra?” he asked his
mother. The queen then told him the whole story. She also told him why they were banned from the
kingdom and lived in the woods. Cindelaras was very surprised. He decided to go to the palace to
meet the king, his father. Cindelaras asked her mother’s permission to go to the kingdom and to tell
the king what really happened. He also brought his rooster that grew bigger and stronger each day.
On his way, Cindelaras stopped at a village. There, he met some people who were involved in
cockfighting. They challenge him to see how strong his rooster was. “If your rooster wins, you’ll get a
reward,” said the man who challenged him. Cindelaras accepted the challenge. In a few minutes, his
rooster defeated the opponent’s rooster. He was challenged again by other man, and one more time,
his rooster won. He won again and again.
The news about Cindelaras’ rooster quickly spread to the whole Jenggala kingdom and made Raden
Putra curious. So, he invited Cindelaras to the palace. “What is your name, boy?” Raden Putra asked
as Cindelaras arrived in the palace. “My name i
