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. 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.
