The Magic Jar I

Once there was a girl called San-San who lived with her father, her step-mother and her step-sister,  Mei. San-San’s father loved her, but Mei and the step-mother did not. They of­ten told her she was a lazy girl, and made her work very hard.  From early morning until late at night San-san helped with the cooking, the cleaning and the washing.

One night San-San’s step-mother became very angry. “The rice is burned,” she shouted. “And the pork is too salty.”

Sari-Sari bowed tier head and said nothing.

“Leave her alone,” said the father.  “I think the food is nicely cooked.”

Sari-San’s step-mother said nothing, but she went to the kitchen and made some special tea. “The next Morning, San-San was working when her step-mother brought her the tea. “Drink this, my dear,” she said. “It will make you feel cool.”

San-San drank the tea, and before long she began to feel very sleepy. She went to her room where she soon fell fast asleep. When she woke up, it was already dark. Going into the kitchen, she found her father.

“I’ve saved you some dinner,” he said. Then he looked up from the table and cried, “San-San! What has happened to your hair?”

San-San, ran to the mirror and saw that all tier hair had fallen out; her head was as smooth as an egg. San-San began to cry. She rushed out of the house and into the woods where she finally sat down beneath a large tree and cried herself to sleep.

While she was sleeping, San-San had a dream. She dream that a beautiful goddes stood before tier, holding a jar.

“Take this jar of oil,” said the goddess. “Rub the oil on your head, and soon everything will be all right.”

When San-San woke up, she found a jar of oil by her side. She opened the jar and found that it was full of golden oil. San-San carefully rubbed the oil all over her head, and soon she could fell the hair growing back. Before long San-San had all her beautiful hair again, so she walked on through the woods.

Now, in these woods lived a kindly widow, the widow Ang. When San-San came to her house and told her what had hap­pened, the widow Ang said she could stay as long as she wanted. And so, San-san lived in the house of the widow Ang and was very happy there.

But San-San’s father was not very happy. He did not know where his daughter had gone, and his wife shouted at him all day long. One day, he had a talk with his friend, the rice-mer­chant.

“Why don’t we ask my son to find her,” said the rice-mer­chant. “He’s clever boy, and he has plenty of free time. Beside, he’s always liked your daughter.”

San-San’s father liked this idea because he knew that the rice- merchant’s son was a good young man. The next day the rice-merchant’s son and his friend went out to look for San-San.

Together, the two young men looked all over the village. Then they looked in other villages nearby. One night, when they were staying in a strange village, thieves came to the house. The rice-merchant’s son tried to fight the thieves, and he was badly hurt. The following morning he could not get out of bed, and so he asked his friend to look for San-Sari on his own.

Luckily, some people in the next village knew the widow Ang, and they knew that a girl was staying with her. They told the young man that a girl was staying with her. They told the young man to go to the house in the forest. When he found the house, he saw San-San standing near a window.

“San-San!” he cried. “I’ve found you at last. Your father is worried, and my friend, the rice-merchant’s son, has been hurt looking for you.”

“Then I must go with you,” said San-San. Then she said to the widow, “I’ll never forget your kindness.”

“That’s all right.” said the widow Ang. “Run along now —your father and his young man need you.”

San-San and the young man ran through the forest to the village where the rice – merchant’s son was lying. When he saw San-San, the rice-merchant’s son thought she was very beauti­ful, and he soon fell in love with her. As soon as he was well enough to travel, they all went back to their own village.

San-San’s father was very happy to see her. He asked her to come home, but San-San said she had other plans. Some­time later, San-San and the rice-merchant’s son were married. They sent many presents to the widow Ang, and after that had a long and happy life together.

Terjemahannya

Toples Ajaib I

Dahulu kala ada seorang gadis bernama San-San yang tinggal bersama ayahnya, ibu tirinya, dan saudara tirinya, Mei. Ayah San-San menyayanginya, tetapi Mei dan ibu tirinya tidak. Mereka sering mengatakan bahwa San-San adalah gadis pemalas, dan membuatnya bekerja sangat keras. Dari pagi hingga larut malam, San-san membantu memasak, membersihkan, dan mencuci.

Suatu malam, ibu tiri San-San menjadi sangat marah. “Nasinya gosong,” teriaknya. “Dan daging babinya terlalu asin.”

Sari-Sari menundukkan kepala dan tidak berkata apa-apa.

“Biarkan dia sendiri,” kata ayahnya. “Menurutku makanannya dimasak dengan baik.”

Ibu tiri Sari-San tidak berkata apa-apa, tetapi dia pergi ke dapur dan membuat teh spesial. “Keesokan paginya, San-San sedang bekerja ketika ibu tirinya membawakannya teh. “Minumlah ini, sayangku,” katanya. “Ini akan membuatmu merasa sejuk.”

San-San minum teh, dan tak lama kemudian ia mulai merasa sangat mengantuk. Ia pergi ke kamarnya dan segera tertidur lelap. Ketika ia bangun, hari sudah gelap. Ia pergi ke dapur dan menemukan ayahnya.

“Aku menyimpan makan malam untukmu,” katanya. Kemudian ia mendongak dari meja dan berteriak, “San-San! Apa yang terjadi dengan rambutmu?”

San-San berlari ke cermin dan melihat semua rambutnya rontok; kepalanya sehalus telur. San-San mulai menangis. Ia bergegas keluar rumah dan masuk ke hutan, di mana ia akhirnya duduk di bawah pohon besar dan menangis hingga tertidur.

Saat ia sedang tidur, San-San bermimpi. Ia bermimpi seorang dewi cantik berdiri di hadapannya, memegang sebuah kendi.

“Ambil kendi minyak ini,” kata sang dewi. “Oleskan minyak itu ke kepalamu, dan semuanya akan segera baik-baik saja.”

Ketika San-San bangun, ia menemukan sebuah kendi minyak di sampingnya. Ia membuka toples itu dan mendapati isinya penuh minyak emas. San-San dengan hati-hati mengoleskan minyak itu ke seluruh kepalanya, dan tak lama kemudian rambutnya mulai tumbuh kembali. Tak lama kemudian, rambut San-San yang indah kembali tumbuh, jadi ia terus berjalan melewati hutan.

Sekarang, di hutan itu tinggal seorang janda yang baik hati, janda Ang. Ketika San-San datang ke rumahnya dan menceritakan apa yang telah terjadi, janda Ang berkata bahwa ia boleh tinggal selama yang ia mau. Jadi, San-san tinggal di rumah janda Ang dan sangat bahagia di sana.

Tetapi ayah San-San tidak begitu bahagia. Ia tidak tahu ke mana putrinya pergi, dan istrinya membentaknya sepanjang hari. Suatu hari, ia berbicara dengan temannya, pedagang beras.

“Mengapa kita tidak meminta anakku untuk mencarinya,” kata pedagang beras. “Ia anak yang pintar, dan ia punya banyak waktu luang. Lagi pula, ia selalu menyukai putrimu.”

Ayah San-San menyukai ide ini karena ia tahu bahwa putra pedagang beras itu adalah pemuda yang baik. Keesokan harinya, putra pedagang beras dan temannya pergi mencari San-San.

Bersama-sama, kedua pemuda itu mencari ke seluruh desa. Kemudian mereka mencari di desa-desa lain di dekatnya. Suatu malam, ketika mereka tinggal di desa yang aneh, pencuri datang ke rumah. Putra pedagang beras itu mencoba melawan pencuri, dan ia terluka parah. Keesokan paginya ia tidak bisa bangun dari tempat tidur, jadi ia meminta temannya untuk mencari San-Sari sendiri.

Beruntung, beberapa orang di desa sebelah mengenal janda Ang, dan mereka tahu bahwa seorang gadis tinggal bersamanya. Mereka memberi tahu pemuda itu bahwa seorang gadis tinggal bersamanya. Mereka menyuruh pemuda itu pergi ke rumah di hutan. Ketika ia menemukan rumah itu, ia melihat San-San berdiri di dekat jendela.

“San-San!” teriaknya. “Akhirnya aku menemukanmu. Ayahmu khawatir, dan temanku, putra pedagang beras, terluka saat mencarimu.”

“Kalau begitu aku harus pergi bersamamu,” kata San-San. Kemudian dia berkata kepada janda itu, “Aku tidak akan pernah melupakan kebaikanmu.”

“Tidak apa-apa,” kata janda Ang. “Pergilah sekarang—ayahmu dan pemuda itu membutuhkanmu.”

San-San dan pemuda itu berlari melewati hutan menuju desa tempat putra pedagang beras itu terbaring. Ketika dia melihat San-San, putra pedagang beras itu menganggapnya sangat cantik, dan dia segera jatuh cinta padanya. Begitu dia cukup sehat untuk bepergian, mereka semua kembali ke desa mereka sendiri.

Ayah San-San sangat senang melihatnya. Dia memintanya untuk pulang, tetapi San-San berkata dia punya rencana lain. Beberapa waktu kemudian, San-San dan putra pedagang beras itu menikah. Mereka mengirim banyak hadiah kepada janda Ang, dan setelah itu mereka hidup bersama dalam waktu yang panjang dan bahagia.
