Once upon a time, in a small village in Indonesia, there lived two sisters named Bawang
Merah and Bawang Putih. Bawang Merah was known for her wickedness and jealousy, while

Their mother had passed away when they were young, and their father had remarried a cruel
and wicked stepmother who favored Bawang Merah and treated Bawang Putih poorly.

One day, the stepmother asked Bawang Putih to go to the river and wash some clothes.
Bawang Putih obediently did as she was told and went to the river. While she was washing
the clothes, a magic fish appeared and asked her why she was crying. Bawang Putih told the
fish about her troubles and how her stepmother treated her badly.

The magic fish gave her a magical flower and told her to keep it safe. Bawang Putih returned
home and showed the flower to her sister, Bawang Merah. However, Bawang Merah became
jealous and stole the flower, hoping to use it for her own benefit.

The next day, Bawang Merah went to the river to wash some clothes, and the magic fish

wickedness and told her that she would be punished for her actions.

The magic flower that Bawang Merah had stolen from her sister turned into a stone, and she
was unable to remove it from her hand. She became known as “Bawang Merah Berbatu” or
“Onion with a Stone,” while Bawang Putih’s kindness and beauty earned her the nickname
“Bawang Putih Bersih” or “Clean Garlic.”

In the end, Bawang Putih married a kind and wealthy prince, while Bawang Merah was left
alone to suffer the consequences of her actions. The story teaches the importance of kindness,

Roro Jonggrang

Long ago, in the land of Central Java, there lived a powerful king named Prabu Baka. He
was a cruel and selfish ruler who cared only about his own desires and pleasures. One day,
he decided to build a grand temple to showcase his wealth and power. He ordered his
subjects to work day and night, using all of their strength to build the temple.

But the people were exhausted and could not continue their work. So, the king made a deal
with a powerful demon named Bandung Bondowoso. He promised to give the demon the most
beautiful woman in the land, Roro Jonggrang, in exchange for his help in completing the
temple.

Bandung Bondowoso agreed to the deal and used his supernatural powers to complete the
temple in a single night. But when the king refused to honor his end of the bargain and give
him Roro Jonggrang, the demon became furious.

With his powers, Bandung Bondowoso turned Roro Jonggrang into a statue and placed her
in the temple, where she became known as Durga, the goddess of destruction. When the king
discovered what had happened, he was filled with regret and pleaded with the goddess to
forgive him and bring Roro Jonggrang back to life.

Durga agreed to forgive the king, but she refused to release Roro Jonggrang from her statue
form. Instead, she demanded that the king build a thousand temples in honor of the goddess
and her worshippers. The king agreed and built the temples, one after another, until he
reached the final temple.

At this temple, he was assisted by Roro Jonggrang’s spirit, who urged him to stop building
before he could complete the thousandth temple. And so, to this day, the final temple remains
incomplete, a symbol of the king’s greed and the power of the supernatural forces that can be
