TUGAS NARRATIVE TEXT
A fox fell into a
well and couldn’t get out. By and by a thirsty goat came along. Seeing the fox
in the well it asked if the water was good. “Good”, said the fox. “It’s the
best water I’ve tasted in all my life. Come down and try it yourself. “The goat
thought of nothing but how thirsty he was. So he jumped into the well. When he
had drunk enough he looked around but there was no way to get out. Then the fox
said, “I have a good idea. You stand on your hind legs and put your forelegs
against the side of the well. Then I’ll climb on your back, from there I’ll
step on your horns, and I can get out. And when I’m out I’ll help you out of
the well.” The goat did as he was asked and the fox got on his back and so out
of the well. Then he coolly walked away. The goat called out loudly after
him out. The fox merely turned to him and said, “If you only has as much sense
in your head as you have hairs in your beard you wouldn’t have jumped into the
well without making sure that you could get out again.

SANGKURIANG
A long time ago, the
ancient land of Sunda was ruled by a king and queen who had
but a single daughter. Her name was Dayang Sumbi. She was beautiful and clever
but also pampered and spolited.
One day as she was
weaving in her pavilion, she became moody and distracted, which caused her to
keep dropping her shuttle on the floor. Once when it fell she exclaimed she
would marry the one who gave it back to her. At that very moment her dog
Tumang, a demigod possessing magic powers, came up to her with the shuttle in
his mouth. Dayang Sumbi had to marry him.
They lived happily
together, and Dayang Sumbi gave birth to a baby boy, human in appearance but
endowed with his father’s magic powers. She named him Sangkuriang. As the boy
grew up, he was always guarded by the faithful dog Tumang, whom he knew only as
a companion and not as his father, Sangkuriang became handsome and brave.
One day his mother
asked him to go hunting with the dog and bring her venison for a feast. After
hunting all day without success, Sangkuriang worried about facing his mother empty-handed.
Desperate, he took an arrow and shot the dog. He returned home and handed over
the meat to his pleased mother. Soon after the feast, however, Dayang Sumbi
questioned her son about the absence of Tumang. At first he evaded her queries
but finally told her what had happened. She was horrified and struck her son so
hard on the temple that he collapsed. For that, the old king banished his
daughter from the court and she was made to roam around the kingdom.
Sangkuriang recovered with a large scar on his temple, and he too left the
court to wander about the world.
Years later,
Sangkuriang met a beautiful woman and instantly fell in love with her. It was
his own mother-they did not recognize each other. He pro posed to her and she
agreed to marry him. On the day before the wedding, as she was caressing her
fiancee’s hair, Dayang Sumbi detected the scar on the temple. Horror struck
her, for she was about to marry her own son, Sangkuriang. Without revealing the
whole truth to him, she tried unsuccessfully to dissuade him. Desperate to
avoid the marriage, she set conditions she thought impossible to meet.
Sangkuriang had to make a lake that filled the whole valpley and build a boat
for the couple to sail in, all before dawn.
Sangkuriang started
to work. His love gave him extraordinary strength, and he used his magic powers
to summon the spirits to help him. With boulders and mud they dammed the river
in the valley and the water rose and began to form a lake. In the early morning
hours he chopped down a huge tree in the forest and began hollowing it out to
make a boat. When Dayang Sumbi saw that he was about to accomplish what she has
thought impossible, she called on the gods to bring the sun up early and thwart
Sangkuriang.
The cock crowed, the
sun rose much earlier than usual, and Sangkuriang realized he had been
deceived. In a fit of fury he caused Dayang Sumbi and kicked the half-finished
boat back into the forest. There it lies upside down today, forming the
mountain Tangkuban Perahu (Upturned Boat). Not far away is the stump of the
tree Sangkuriang had felled, now called Bukit Tinggi. The dam Sangkuriang
had built caused the valley to become a lake, where both Sangkuriang and Dayang
Sumbi drowned themselves. They were never heard of again.

The Princess and the Pea
Once upon a time there was a prince he wanted to get himself a princess, but
she had to be real princess. So he traveled all over the world to find one, but
in every case something was the matter. There were lots of princess, but he
could never quite make out whether they were real or not. So he came home
feeling very unhappy, for really wanted to find a true princess.
One evening a terrible storm came; lightening flashed, thunder rolled, and the
rain poured down in torrents-it was simply awful ! suddenly there was a knock
at the city gate, and the old king went out to answer it.
There was a princess standing outside, but what a sight the rain and the bad
weather had made of her ! The water streamed down her hair and her clothes, and
yet she said she was a real princess.
“It won’t take long to find that out,” thought the old Queen. Without saying
anything, she went into bed chamber, took off all the bedclothes, and places
one pea on the bottom boards of the bed. Then she took twenty mattresses and
put them on top of the pea, and after that she put twenty feather-pillows on
top of the mattresses.
That was where the princess was to spend the night.
In the morning they asked her how she had slept.
“Oh, dreadfully! said the princess. “I hardly slept a wink all night. Whatever
could have been in the bed ? I was lying on something so hard that I’m black
and blue all over.”
So of course they could see that she was a real princess, since she had felt
the pea through twenty mattresses and twenty feather-pillows. No one but a real
princess could have such a tender skin as that.
So the prince took her for his wife, and they lived happily ever after.
