BAWANG MERAH BAWANG PUTIH
Bawang Putih lived with her step mother and her step sister,
Bawang Merah. Bawang Putih’s mother died when she was a baby. Her father
remarried another woman and later her step sister was born. Unfortunately, not
long after that her father died. Since then, Bawang Putih’s life was sad. Her
step mother and her step sister treated Bawang Putih badly and always asked her
to do all the household chores.
One morning, Bawang
Putih was washing some clothes in a river.
Accidentally, her mother’s clothes were washed away by the river. She was
really worried so she walked along the river side to find the clothes. Finally
she met an old woman. She said that she kept the clothes and would give them
back to Bawang Putih if she helped the old woman do the household chores.
Bawang Putih helped her happily. After everything was finished, the old woman
returned the clothes. She also gave Bawang Putih a gift. The old woman had two
pumpkins, one pumpkin was small and the other one was big. Bawang Putih had to
choose one.
Bawang Putih
was not a greedy girl. So she took the small one. After thanking the old woman,
Bawang Putih then went home. When she arrived home, her step mother and Bawang
Merah were angry. They had been waiting for her all day long. Bawang Putih then
told about the clothes, the old woman, and the pumpkin. Her mother was really
angry so she grabbed the pumpkin
and smashed it to the floor.
Suddenly they all
were surprised. Inside the pumpkin they found jewelries. “Bawang
Merah, hurry up. Go to the river and throw my clothes into the water. After
that, find the old woman. Remember, you have to take the big pumpkin,” the step
mother asked Bawang Merah to do exactly the same as Bawang Putih’s experience. Bawang Merah immediately went to the river. She threw the
clothes and pretended to search them. Not long after that, she met the old
woman. Again she asked Bawang Merah to do household chores.
