Bawang Merah Bawang Putih

In village, live a widow with her two beautiful daughters, Bawang Merah (Red
Onion) and Bawang Putih (White Garlic). Bawang Putih's real father which was also the
widows's husband died long ago. Bawang Merah and Bawang Putih had opposite
characters and personalities. Bawang Putih was diligent, kind, honest and humble girl.
Meanwhile, Bawang merah was lazy, glamorous, proud and envious girl. Bawang Merah's
bad personality was worsened because her mother spoiled her. The widow always gave her
everything she wanted. It was Bawang Putih who did all the works in the house. Doing the
laundry, cooking, cleaning, essentially all works were carried out by herself. Meanwhile,
Bawang Merah and the widow just spent times making themselves up, because when they
needed something they could just ask Bawang Putih.
Bawang Putih never complained the bad fate she had to face. She always served her
step-mother and sister happily. One day, Bawang Putih was doing her step-mother and
sister's laundry. Bawang Putih didn't realize it when a piece of cloth belonged to her mother
was washed away by the river. How sad was she, thinking that if the cloth couldn't be
found she would be blamed, and it wasn't impossible that she would bu punished and
expelled from home.
Being afraid that her mother cloth could not be found, Bawang Putih kept looking
and walked along the river with its strong current. Every time she saw someone by the
river, she always asked him or her about her mother's cloth which was washed away by the
river, but everyone didn't know where the cloth was. Eventually Bawang Putih came to a
place where the river flowed into a cave. Surprisingly, there was a very old woman in the
cave. Bawang Putih asked the old woman if she knew of the cloth whereabouts. The
woman knew where the cloth was, but she made a condition before she handed it to
Bawang Putih. The condition was that she had to work assisting the old woman. Bawang
Putih was used to working hard so that her work pleased the old woman.
It was late afternoon and Bawang Putih was saying goodbye to the old woman. The
woman handed the cloth to her. because of her kindness, the old woman offered her a gift
of pumpkins. There were two of them, one was larger than the other. Bawang Putih was
asked to choose the gift she wanted. She wasn't greedy, there she chose the smaller one.
Returning home, the Step-Mother and Bawang Merah were furious because Bawang
Putih was late. She told them what happened from the time her mother's cloth was washed
away until her encounter with the old woman in the cave. Her step-mother was still furious
because she was already late and only brought one small pumkin, so the mother smashed
the pumpkin to the ground. "Whack..." and the pumpkin was broken, but it was miraculous
that in the pumpkin there were beautiful golden, jewel, and diamond ornaments. The
Widow and Bawang Merah were very schocked. They could get very rich with that much
jewelry. But greedy they were, they yelled at Bawang Putih asking why she didn't take the
large pumkin instead. In the Widow and Bawang Merah's minds, if the larger pumpkin was
taken, they should get much more jewelry.
Fulfilling their greed, Bawang Merah folowed the steps told by Bawang Putih. She
wilingly drifted her mother's cloth, walked along the river, asked people and eventually
came to the cave where the old woman lived. Unlike Bawang Putih, however, bawang
Merah refused the old woman's order to work and She even arrogantly ordered the old
woman to give her the larger pumpkin. And so the old woman gave it to Bawang Merah.
Bawang Merah happily brought the pumpkin that the old woman gave, while
imagining how much jewelry she would get. Returning home, the Widow welcomed her
beloved daughter. Not waiting for long, the pumpkin was smashed to the ground,
"whack ..." but instead of the jewelry, appeared various terrifying snakes. The Widow and
Bawang Merah finally realized what they did all this time was wrong and asked Bawang
Putih to forgive them.
