1.1 Background

Bayo Jambu is a folk tale originating from a tribe Mandailing Natal in North
Sumatra. Bayo Jambu tells the story of the friendship between a boy named
"Bayo" and a girl named "Jambu".

Original story

In a village located in the middle of a tropical forest, there lived a man

boy named Bayo. Bayo is a cheerful and enthusiastic boy. He has curly black
hair and cheeks as red as guava. Every day, Bayo wakes up early in the morning
to help his mother in the garden.

One day, when Bayo was playing on the bank of the river that flowed by

near the village, he saw a shadowy figure behind a guava tree. Bayo was curious
and approached him carefully. It turned out that it was a girl who was sitting
alone under the guava tree

The girl's name was Jambu. He has blonde hair beautifully flowing and

cheeks red like a flowering guava. Bayo approached Jambu and asked in a
friendly manner, "Hi, my name is Bayo. What are you doing here?"

Jambu answered with a smile, "Hi, Bayo. I was thinking here. I just

moved to this village and don't have anyone to play with yet."

Bayo was happy to find someone who also felt lonely like him. They

started talking and sharing stories. Bayo tells about life in the village, while
Jambu tells about the adventures he experienced before moving to the village.

Since then, Bayo and Jambu have become inseparable. They exploring

the forest together, picking fruit, and playing in the river. Every day, they fill
their time with laughter and joy.

Bayo and Jambu also help each other. Bayo teaches Jambu how to farm

and care for a garden, while Jambu teaches Bayo about lying animals and plants
that live in the forest. They support each other and enrich each other's
knowledge.

The story of Bayo and Jambu's friendship spread throughout the village.

They are an example to other children about the true meaning of friendship. The
two children grew up, but their friendship remained strong and unshakable.

The story of Bayo and Jambu teaches us that true friendship is possible

found in an unexpected place. They show that togetherness, support, and fun are
what make friendships worthwhile.

Recreate Story

On a sunny day, in a village surrounded by tropical forests, There lived

5
boy named Bayo. Bayo is a cheerful and quite naughty boy. Bayo has black
curly hair and cute pink cheeks. Bayo always teases local residents with his
mischief, starting from stealing fruit in the garden to hiding behind a guava tree
and throwing stones at passers-by.

One day, Bayo saw someone behind the guava tree where he was usually

playing and teasing passers-by. Bayo approached the girl and asked "Who are
you?" In a tone of disdain. The girl who heard this immediately reached out her
hand and smiled, "My name is Jambu, what's your name?" Jambu asked in a
friendly manner. Bayo took Jambu's outstretched hand, "My name is Bayo, why
are you here?" Bayo asked while straightening his face. "I just moved to this
village, I was bored because I didn't have any friends, so I went around this
village and rested on this tree," answered Jambu. Bayo actually really doesn't
like playing with girls because according to Bayo, girls are very complicated
and whiny. Finally, Bayo sat down next to Jambu and closed his eyes. Jambu,
who saw Bayo, asked him to chat, but Bayo ignored Jambu.

Jambu sat under the tree while looking at people passing by, Jambu, who

was bored, teased Bayo, who was fast asleep, by pressing his forehead. Bayo
looked at Jambu in annoyance and scolded him, "Why are you bothering me? I
was asleep earlier" Bayo snapped irritably, seeing Bayo who was annoyed,
Jambu answered "Earlier I saw a mosquito sitting on your forehead because I
was afraid you might bite the mosquito" answered Jambu innocently. Bayo,
who heard this, could only take a deep breath.

As the days passed, without Bayo realizing it, he finally started making

friends with Guava. They usually spend time under the guava tree and exchange
stories together. Bayo, who previously really liked teasing the villagers, has
never been seen playing pranks on the villagers since the arrival of Jambu. The
two of them often had lunch together, and the two of them even fished in a river

6
that was quite fast according to the villagers just to catch fish. Every day they
played together until in the end they became very close friends.

Year after year passed, now Bayo and Jambu have grown as an adult,

Bayo turns into a dashing and handsome young man while Bayo turns into a
beautiful and dashing girl. Gradually, without Bayo realizing it, he starts to like
Jambu, but Bayo knows that Jambu likes another man named Jali. Every day
Jambu will tell Bayo about the aquarium and Jali. Bayo always listened to
Jambu's stories, then Jambu asked Bayo "You have to look for your future wife
Bayo, if you continue like this when will you get married?", hearing this Bayo
sighed while looking at the sky "Well what else can I do Jambu "I like someone
who likes someone else, no one can replace him," Bayo answered with a sad
expression. Jambu was curious about who Bayo liked, Jambu asked "Who do
you really like? I can arrange it Bayo" while looking at Bayo as if begging.
Bayo just smiled at Jambu's behavior which he thought was funny and answered
"That's all..."

The days went on as usual, Bayo took Jambu to the forest to explore the

forest and pick berries in the forest, Jambu agreed to Bayo's proposal and the
two of them prepared a basket and lunch to eat this afternoon. Jambu walked in
front of Bayo, Bayo looked at Jambu's back and in his heart he was moved to
express the feelings he had been holding back all this time, but he knew that in
the end Bayo would choose Jali over him, so he gave up his intention. Bayo and
Jambu picked berries until their baskets were full. When their baskets were full,
Jambu invited Bayo to have lunch under a shady tree in the forest. Bayo looked
at Jambu and imagined that if Jambu was his wife, maybe he could enjoy this
view every day, Bayo laughed inside.

7
Bayo looked at Jambu who was tidying up their eating utensils. "You

know Jambu? I really like you" Bayo looked at Jambu carefully, Jambu, who
was surprised, just gaped at Bayo's statement. Jambu's face turned red and with
his head down he spoke, "Mom, what do you mean? You like me as a friend,
right?" Bayo, who didn't want to make small talk, immediately said "No, I like
you as a woman, sorry, I only realized that I liked you when Jali asked you to
go out, I don't know why my heart hurts so much, Jambu," Bayo answered
wearily. Jambu laughed when he saw Bayo and he nodded his head and laughed
"Me and Jali are just friends, Jali advised me to do that to find out whether you
love me or not" answered Jambu. Hearing this, Bayo felt embarrassed. After
admitting his feelings for Jambu, Bayo finally married Jambu. Bayo and Jambu
live happily with their two children.
