Hallo Everybody…
This time I will share an example of narrative text that the story is very interesting and full of moral value. I’m sure my friend has understood about this text because this text has been delivered to the students in Junior High School and repeated again in Senior High School.

But, if you want to learn more in detail about this kind of text, you can read this explanation below :

– Narrative Text (Complete Explanation)
– Narrative Text (Penjelasan Dan Contoh)

Ok, In this post I will give you a little explanation about Narrative Text.

I am sure you must be often to tell the story that you just hear, watch or even your own imaginative story to someone, good friends, relatives, parents, etc. Well, actually what we do when telling the story we experienced is an applicative example of the Narrative Text.

Ok, I will tell the definition of Narrative text. It is “An imaginative story to entertain the reader” For example, Cinderella, Snow White, Monkey and Crocodiles, Malin Kundang, The Legend of Tangkuban Prahu Montain, etc.

Then, Kinds of Narrative Text are Fable, Fairly Tales, Folktales, Legend, Mith. That’s a brief description of Narrative text from me.

But, In this time I will not give you a complete explanation about Narrative Text, Here I just want to share an example of Narrative text, because if we read many example of it, we will have a better understanding about it. We will also have some collection of story that we can tell to our students, friends, family, or our children.

Oh ya, dari tadi kok saya pake bahasa inggris ya… 🙂 Paham kan sobat penjelasan saya di atas…. Oke langsung saja berikut Contoh Narrative Text dengan judul “The Country of the Mice story” Beserta Terjemahannya.

Contoh Narrative Text – The Country of the Mice

The Country of the Mice Story

There was once a king who ruled a large country in which there lived a great number of mice. One year there was not enough rice. The mice were very hungry. The king of the mice put on his best clothes and went to see the king of the country.

“Good morning, Mr. Mouse.” Said the king. “What can I do for you?”

“O king, we do not have enough rice. We would like to borrow some from you. If you can lend us what we need, we shall repay you next year.”

“How much do you want?”

“About one hundred bags,” answered the mouse.

“How can you carrying it away?”

“Your majesty, we shall find a way.”

The king ordered one hundred bags of rice to be given to the mice. The mice bit through the bags. They carried away the rice in their mouths. When the king looked the next morning. He was surprised to find the rice had disappeared.

The next year. The king of the mice repaid the king. The king was very pleased that he had kept his promise.

Not long afterwards, the king went to war with a neighbouring country. His army was not very strong. It lost every battle. The army of the other country reached the opposite side of the river. They were ready to attack the capital.

“Who can help me?” asked the king. He sent for the king of the mice.

The mouse asked the king to place thousands of stick. Each one foot long, by the side of the river.

The next night, all the mice used these sticks as boats to carry them across the river. The soldiers of other country were fast asleep when the mice quietly entered their camp. Some of them threw the soldier’s swords and guns into the river. Other ate their food. Yet others bit their toes. The soldier woke up. They did not know what had happened. They could not find their swords and guns and they thought they had been attacked by the king’s soldier. They ran away as fast as they could.

The king quickly asked the king of the mice to come to see him.

“Mr. mouse, you have saved my country,” he said. “Please tell me what you would like in return.”

The mouse replied. “O King, we only want to live in peace. Please send away all the cats from your country.”

The king did as he was asked. He gave orders for all the cats to leave immediately.

The king of the mice thanked the king. “cats are our worst enemy,” he said. “We can now live very happily for the rest of our lives.”

Terjemahannya

Cerita Negeri Tikus

Dahulu kala ada seorang raja yang memerintah sebuah negara besar yang dihuni oleh banyak tikus. Suatu tahun, beras tidak cukup. Tikus-tikus itu sangat lapar. Raja tikus mengenakan pakaian terbaiknya dan pergi menemui raja negara itu.

“Selamat pagi, Tuan Tikus.” Kata raja. “Apa yang bisa saya lakukan untuk Anda?”

“Ya raja, kami tidak punya cukup beras. Kami ingin meminjam sedikit dari Anda. Jika Anda dapat meminjamkan kami apa yang kami butuhkan, kami akan membayarnya tahun depan.”

“Berapa yang Anda inginkan?”

“Sekitar seratus karung,” jawab tikus.

“Bagaimana Anda bisa membawanya pergi?”

“Yang Mulia, kami akan menemukan cara.”

Raja memerintahkan seratus karung beras untuk diberikan kepada tikus-tikus itu. Tikus-tikus itu menggigit karung-karung itu. Mereka membawa pergi beras di mulut mereka. Ketika raja melihat keesokan paginya, ia terkejut menemukan beras itu telah menghilang.

Tahun berikutnya. Raja tikus membayar kembali kepada raja. Raja sangat senang bahwa ia telah menepati janjinya.

Tidak lama kemudian, sang raja berperang dengan negara tetangga. Pasukannya tidak terlalu kuat. Mereka kalah dalam setiap pertempuran. Pasukan negara lain mencapai sisi seberang sungai. Mereka siap menyerang ibu kota.

“Siapa yang bisa menolongku?” tanya sang raja. Ia memanggil raja tikus.

Tikus meminta raja untuk meletakkan ribuan batang kayu. Masing-masing sepanjang satu kaki, di sisi sungai.

Keesokan malamnya, semua tikus menggunakan batang-batang kayu ini sebagai perahu untuk membawanya menyeberangi sungai. Para prajurit negara lain sedang tertidur lelap ketika tikus-tikus itu diam-diam memasuki perkemahan mereka. Beberapa dari mereka melemparkan pedang dan senjata prajurit itu ke sungai. Yang lain memakan makanan mereka. Namun yang lain menggigit jari-jari kaki mereka. Prajurit itu terbangun. Mereka tidak tahu apa yang telah terjadi. Mereka tidak dapat menemukan pedang dan senjata mereka dan mereka mengira telah diserang oleh prajurit raja. Mereka lari secepat yang mereka bisa.

Raja dengan cepat meminta raja tikus untuk datang menemuinya.

“Tuan tikus, Anda telah menyelamatkan negara saya,” katanya. “Tolong beri tahu aku apa yang kauinginkan sebagai balasannya.”

Tikus menjawab. “Wahai Raja, kami hanya ingin hidup dalam damai. Tolong usir semua kucing dari negaramu.”

Raja melakukan apa yang diminta. Ia memberi perintah agar semua kucing segera pergi.

Raja tikus berterima kasih kepada raja. “Kucing adalah musuh terburuk kami,” katanya. “Kami sekarang bisa hidup sangat bahagia selama sisa hidup kami.”
