I am sure you must be often to tell the story that you just hear, watch or even your own imaginative story to someone, good friends, relatives, parents, etc. Well, actually what we do when telling the story we experienced is an applicative example of the Narrative Text.

Ok, I will tell the definition of Narrative text. It is “An imaginative story to entertain the reader” For example, Cinderella, Snow White, Monkey and Crocodiles, Malin Kundang, The Legend of Tangkuban Prahu Montain, etc.

Contoh Narrative Text – The Woodcutter and the King of the Mice

The Woodcutter and the King of the Mice
(Favourite story from Cambodia)

The king of the mice lived inside a banyan tree in a forest. One day, a poor man was cutting down some trees. As he started to cut down the banyan tree, the king of the mice grew frightened “Please, leave the tree standing” he said to the woodcutter, “and I’ll give you a piece

of gold every day.”

The woodcutter agreed. So, every evening the king of the mice took out a piece of gold from under the roots of the tree and gave it to the woodcutter. The woodcutter took the pieces of gold home and showed them to his wife.

After a few days, his wife asked him, “Where does the gold come from?”

“Don’t worry about that,” he said, “just keep it,”

A few days later she asked him again, but he did not tell her. “if you don’t tell me,” she said, “I’ll go and tell the government or even the king that you’re a robber.”

The woodcutter was frightened of his wife when she was angry. So he said, “Every evening the king of the mice gives me a piece of gold from under the roots of the tree.”

“Oh, you are stupid!” his wife said. “You’ve been tricked by a mouse. He gives you one piece of gold every evening but the rest of the gold is under the tree all the time! Why don’t you cut down the tree and take it all away?”

The woodcutter did as he was told. He cut down the tree. But when he looked under the roots, the gold was not there. The king of the mice had run away too.

That night, the king of the mice crept up to the woodcutter’s house and took back all the gold. So the woodcutter was as poor as ever.

Terjemahannya

Si Penebang Kayu dan Raja Tikus
(Cerita favorit dari Kamboja)

Raja tikus tinggal di dalam pohon beringin di hutan. Suatu hari, seorang pria miskin sedang menebang beberapa pohon. Saat ia mulai menebang pohon beringin, raja tikus menjadi takut. “Tolong, biarkan pohon itu berdiri,” katanya kepada penebang kayu, “dan aku akan memberimu sepotong emas setiap hari.”

Penebang kayu setuju. Jadi, setiap malam raja tikus mengambil sepotong emas dari bawah akar pohon dan memberikannya kepada penebang kayu. Penebang kayu membawa pulang potongan-potongan emas dan menunjukkannya kepada istrinya.

Setelah beberapa hari, istrinya bertanya kepadanya, “Dari mana emas itu berasal?”

“Jangan khawatir tentang itu,” katanya, “simpan saja,”

Beberapa hari kemudian istrinya bertanya lagi, tetapi dia tidak memberitahunya. “Jika kamu tidak memberitahuku,” katanya, “Aku akan pergi dan memberi tahu pemerintah atau bahkan raja bahwa kamu seorang perampok.”

Penebang kayu takut pada istrinya ketika dia marah. Maka ia berkata, “Setiap malam raja tikus memberiku sekeping emas dari bawah akar pohon.”

“Oh, kamu bodoh!” kata istrinya. “Kamu telah ditipu oleh seekor tikus. Ia memberimu sekeping emas setiap malam tetapi sisa emasnya selalu ada di bawah pohon! Mengapa kamu tidak menebang pohon itu dan mengambil semuanya?”

Si penebang kayu melakukan apa yang diperintahkan kepadanya. Ia menebang pohon itu. Tetapi ketika ia melihat ke bawah akar, emas itu tidak ada di sana. Raja tikus itu juga telah melarikan diri.

Malam itu, raja tikus itu menyelinap ke rumah si penebang kayu dan mengambil kembali semua emas itu. Jadi si penebang kayu itu tetap miskin seperti sebelumnya.
