https://www.belajaringgris.net/cerita-kancil-dan-buaya-versi-bahasa-inggris-1224.html

One day, Mouse Deer went down to the river to take a drink. But he knew that the crocodile might be
waiting underwater to eat him, so he said out loud. “I wonder if the water’s warm. 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.

In the next day, Mouse Deer wanted to cross the river. He wanted to eat the fruits on the other 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. He had an idea. He called out loud,
“Crocodile!” Crocodile rose from the water, “Hello, 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 jumping until he arrived on the other side of the river. “How
many are there?” asked Crocodile. “Just enough,” said Mouse Deer. He laughed as he ran to the forest.

http://indonesianfolklore.blogspot.com/2007/11/bawang-merah-and-bawang-putih-folklore.html
BAWANG Putih lived with her stepmother and her stepsister, 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 so sad. Her stepmother 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 riverside 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 bigger. 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
stepmother 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 stepmother 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. She refused and asked the old woman to give her a big pumpkin.

The old woman then gave her the big one. Bawang Merah was so happy. She ran very fast. When she arrived home, her mother was impatient. She directly
smashed the pumpkin to the floor. They were screaming. There were a lot of snakes inside the pumpkin! They were really scared. They were afraid the snakes
would bite them.

"Mom, I think God just punished us. We had done bad things to Bawang Putih. And God didn't like that. We have to apologize to Bawang Putih," said Bawang
Merah.

Finally both of them realized their mistakes. They apologized and Bawang Putih forgave them. Now the family is not poor anymore. Bawang Putih decided to
sell all the jewelries and used the money for their daily lives. ***
Bawang Putih means white onion (garlic), Bawang merah means red onion (shallot).

 LUTUNG KASARUNG
http://britishcourse.com/contoh-narrative-text-lutung-kasarung-beserta-terjemahannya.php

A long time ago in west Java there was a kingdom. The king was Prabu Tapak Agung. He had two beautiful daughters and no son. Purba Rarang
was his first daughter, and Purba Sari was his second daughter. When the king was about to pass away he gave the throne to his second daughter,
Purba Sari. Purba Rarang was very disappointed. She thought that she deserve to replace her father as the ruler. She discussed the situation with
her fiancé, Indrajaya.

Then she got an evil idea. She asked a witch to cast a spell to Purba Sari. Soon after that Purba Sari had a strange skin disease. There were black
dots on her skin. She also had skin rash. Consequently Purba Rarang had a reason to tell people that her sister had a great sin and she was cursed
by god. She told her people that such a person did not qualify to be a leader.After that she ordered the army to send Purba Sari to a wood and had
her exiled there. The army then built a wooden house for Purba Sari in a wood. So Purba Sari lived in the wood. As there were many animals in
the wood she got along with them well.Her best friend was a black monkey. She called the monkey Lutung Kasarung. Lutung was very attentive
and very kind to her. He gave fruits and vegetables to Purba Sari.

Lutung Kasarung was not an ordinary monkey. He often meditates like human being. One night when there was a full moon he sat meditating. He
was praying to God. Suddenly a spring emerged beside Lutung. It became bigger and bigger and finally it became a lake. The water was very clear
and aromatic.
The next day Lutung came to see Purba Sari. He asked her to follow him. Lutung took her to the lake and asked her to take a bath. When Purba
Sari took bath in the lake something strange happened. Her skin disease was gone and her smooth fair skin was back. Purba Sari was very happy
and thankful to God.Meanwhile Purba Rarang who lived in the palace wanted to see her sister. So she went to the wood with her soldiers. She was
very surprised when she saw Purba Sari was in good condition and looked beautiful.

Her evil heart led her to find a way to beat her sister. Then she asked her sister to measure the length of their hair. The one who had the longest
hair would win. Purba Sari’s hair proved to be longer than Purba Rarang’s.Purba Rarang was very jealous to her sister. She thought hard to find a
way to beat Purba Sari. Then she got another idea. She asked her sister to compare their fiancé. Purba Rarang was sure that she would win because
Indra Jaya was very handsome. She was sure that Purba Sari did not have any fiancé. When Purba Rarang showed Indra Jaya, Purba Sari was
confused. So she just appointed Lutung Kasarung as her fiancé.

Purba Rarang laughed out loud.‘So your fiancé is a monkey?’Lutung Kasarung then sat on the ground. He was meditating and praying to God.
Then amazingly he changed into a very handsome man. Initially Lutung Kasarung was a handsome man who was punished by God and became a
monkey. After some years that day he got clemency from God and he became human being again.

Purba Rarang was very surprised. He had no choice but to accept that her sister was better than her. She asked for apology. Purba Sari gave her
apology. After that they went back to palace. Purba Sari became the queen and married to Lutung Kasarung.
