Once upon a time, in a small village in Bali island there lived a family with their
two daughters named Ni Bawang and Ni Kesuna. Ni Bawang is older than Ni Kesuna. Ni
Bawang is diligent, kind and honest. However, Ni Kesuna is lazy, greedy and she liked to
defame.
Every day, Kesuna asked Ni Bawang to do the housework. "Bawang, mop the
floor! Don’t be lazy! Quickly!!!!". Ni Bawang then moped the floor. Later on Ni Kesuna
shouted again, “Bawang,,, clean my bedroom! It’s dirty and smelly”. Ni Bawang then
went to the room and cleaned it. That was a daily routine of Ni Bawang, she is almost
never at rest.
One morning, “Bawang, Kesuna…. come here!! Meme will go to the market,
bring the paddy form the barn, dry in the sun and mash it!!". After I Meme left, “Bawang,
Bawang,,, the sun is shine, take the Paddy now!!! You take the paddy, and I will dry it”.
Ni Bawang then took the Paddy alone. “Kesuna, Kesuna,,,,, the paddy is here, help me to
dry it!!" “Just dry the paddy, I will mash it letter,". Shortly, the paddy was dry. “Kesuna,
Kesuna, mash the paddy now, it’s already dry”. “Arrghhh, just mash it, I am too busy, I
have a lot of things to do”. Without complaining Ni Bawang mashed the paddy until it
was ready to cook. Then, she went to the river to take a bath.
A few minutes later, Ni Kesuna pretended to sweep the yard. I Meme came and
only saw Ni Kesuna. “Meme, Meme, Bawang is lazy, she didn’t help me to do the
housework. She just laid down and did nothing”. “Really? Where is Ni Bawang Now??"
“Ni Bawang went to the river, she's only good in taking care of herself”. I Meme believed
Ni Kesuna and was mad at Ni Bawang.
When Ni Bawang arrived home, Ehhhh,, Bawang,,, where have you been? Why
you don’t help your sister? Kesuna do all the house work. And you? What did you do?”.
“She's lying!, I did the housework, not her,". “Arrghhhhh, you!, you are a liar! You are
lazy, I knew that!" I Meme then took a wood stick and hit Ni Bawang many times.
“Aaaaaa,,,,, No Meme, stop! Help me! It hurts!!" Ni Bawang was bleeding, she cried over
and over. “Now, get out from here, don’t be back. You are not my daughter anymore."
With the bleeding head, Ni Bawang walked alone while crying.
(Singing a sad song) I don't relate to you, i don't relate to you, no. Cause i never treat
me this shitty, you make me hate this city.
"Sorry Meme, I'm not wrong. Kesuna defamed me!"
Then, without realizing she arrived in the river. Suddenly, a yellow Cerucuk bird
approached her and pecked her head. A gold diamond crown beautify her head.
Secondly, the bird pecked her neck, appeared a gold diamond necklace. The bird pecked
her ears, appeared a gold diamond earring. The bird pecked her wrist, appeared a gold
diamond bracelet. The bird pecked her fingers, appeared a gold diamond ring. Ni Bawang
then stayed at her grandmother’s house and told the story.
The next day, Ni Kesuna went to the grandmother house and saw Ni Bawang with
all the jewelries. “Wow, Bawang, what’s that? Bawang, you are my beloved sister, where
did you get all the jewelries, it looks beautiful. I want it too”. Ni Bawang told the story,
the river, the yellow cerucuk bird and how to get the jewelries. After heard the story, Ni
Kesuna went back home and told I Meme. “Meme, Meme, Ni Bawang had a lot of
jewelries, now take the wood stick and hit my head. I will go to the river to meet the
bird”. I Meme then hit Ni Kesuna’s head until it was bleeding, and she suddenly went to
the river.
Arriving in the river, she met the bird and begged to peck her head. “Please peck
me! I want to get jewelleries too”. The bird pecked her head, appeared a poison snake.
The bird pecked her neck, appeared a poison spider. The bird pecked her wrist, appeared
a poison scorpion. The bird pecked her fingers, appeared a poison centipede. The
venomed animals bited her until she died.
The moral value of the story is, don’t like defaming someone, love your siblings,
love your family.
