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.

Contoh Narrative Text – The Rock and the Weasel

The Rock and the Weasel

Long ago a weasel came to a forest near Phakchong. He saw many mice there. Weasels like to eat mice, so the weasel decided to stay in the forest.

First, the weasel found a place to sleep in a hole beneath a bush. The next day he walked to the top of a small hill. On the hilltop was a rock. The weasel decided to sit on the rock.

“Who’s there? Asked the rock. “Whoever you are, don’t sit on me.”

“I’ll sit here as long as I like,” said the weasel. “After all, you’re not going anywhere.”

The rock sighed, for there was nothing he could do. The weasel sat back on his hind legs. He raised his forelegs in front of him, looked at the sky, and pretended to pray. At sunset the weasel walked down the hill to his home. He did the same thing the next day, and the next day, and the next day after that.

Soon the mice became curious about the weasel. They watched him for several days. Finally they chose one brave mouse to ask the weasel what he was doing. The brave mouse climbed the hill.

“What are you doing?” asked the mouse.

“I’m praying,” replied the weasel.

The mouse ran back down the hill. He told the other mice that the weasel was praying. The mice decided that the weasel was a very great animal. They also thought he must be a very good animal. That evening they waited for him at the bottom of the hill.

“We want to pay our respects’ to you,” said their leader.

The mice walked around the weasel three times. Then they went home. They did not notice that one mouse was missing.

Each night after that the mice waited for the weasel. Each night he came down from the hilltop. Each night the mice walked around him three times, and each night the weasel ate one mouse.

This went on for several months. Finally the leader of the mice noticed something. The forest had fewer mice than before. He called a meeting of all the mice.

“Something is wrong,” said the leader. “Mice are disappearing, I thing the weasel is eating our friends and relations.

The mice decided to look at the weasel’s home. They went the next day, while the weasel was on the rock. In the weasel’s hole they found a large pile of mouse bone. The mice ran back to the leader who told them what to do.

That evening most of the mice waited at the bottom of the hill. Some of the stronger mice walked up behind the hill. At the sundown the weasel stepped off the rock, and it began to move. The rock rolled down the hill, but the weasel didn’t hear it coming. He was thinking about his dinner.

The rock landed on the weasel.

“Get off,” cried the weasel. “Don’t sit on me.”

“I’ll sit here as long as I like,” said the rock. “After all, I’m not going anywhere.”

Batu dan Musang

Dahulu kala seekor musang datang ke hutan dekat Phakchong. Ia melihat banyak tikus di sana. Musang suka memakan tikus, jadi musang itu memutuskan untuk tinggal di hutan.

Mula-mula, musang itu menemukan tempat untuk tidur di sebuah lubang di bawah semak-semak. Keesokan harinya ia berjalan ke puncak sebuah bukit kecil. Di puncak bukit itu ada sebuah batu. Musang itu memutuskan untuk duduk di atas batu itu.

“Siapa di sana? tanya batu itu. “Siapa pun kau, jangan duduk di atasku.”

“Aku akan duduk di sini selama yang aku mau,” kata musang itu. “Lagipula, kau tidak akan ke mana-mana.”

Batu itu mendesah, karena tidak ada yang bisa ia lakukan. Musang itu duduk bersandar pada kaki belakangnya. Ia mengangkat kaki depannya di depannya, menatap langit, dan berpura-pura berdoa. Saat matahari terbenam, musang itu berjalan menuruni bukit menuju rumahnya. Ia melakukan hal yang sama keesokan harinya, dan keesokan harinya, dan keesokan harinya setelah itu.

Tak lama kemudian, tikus-tikus itu menjadi penasaran dengan musang itu. Mereka mengamatinya selama beberapa hari. Akhirnya, mereka memilih satu tikus pemberani untuk bertanya kepada musang itu apa yang sedang dilakukannya. Tikus pemberani itu pun memanjat bukit.

“Apa yang sedang kamu lakukan?” tanya tikus itu.

“Aku sedang berdoa,” jawab musang itu.

Tikus itu berlari kembali menuruni bukit. Ia memberi tahu tikus-tikus lainnya bahwa musang itu sedang berdoa. Tikus-tikus itu memutuskan bahwa musang itu adalah hewan yang sangat hebat. Mereka juga menganggapnya sebagai hewan yang sangat baik. Malam itu, mereka menunggunya di kaki bukit.

“Kami ingin memberi penghormatan kepadamu,” kata pemimpin mereka.

Tikus-tikus itu berjalan mengelilingi musang itu tiga kali. Kemudian, mereka pulang. Mereka tidak menyadari bahwa ada satu tikus yang hilang.

Setiap malam setelah itu, tikus-tikus itu menunggu musang itu. Setiap malam, ia turun dari puncak bukit. Setiap malam, tikus-tikus itu berjalan mengelilinginya tiga kali, dan setiap malam, musang itu memakan satu tikus.

Ini berlangsung selama beberapa bulan. Akhirnya, pemimpin tikus-tikus itu menyadari sesuatu. Hutan itu memiliki lebih sedikit tikus daripada sebelumnya. Ia memanggil semua tikus untuk bertemu.

“Ada yang salah,” kata pemimpin itu. “Tikus-tikus menghilang, kurasa musang itu memakan teman-teman dan saudara-saudara kita.

Tikus-tikus itu memutuskan untuk melihat rumah musang itu. Mereka pergi keesokan harinya, saat musang itu berada di atas batu. Di lubang musang itu mereka menemukan setumpuk besar tulang tikus. Tikus-tikus itu berlari kembali ke pemimpin yang memberi tahu mereka apa yang harus dilakukan.

Malam itu sebagian besar tikus menunggu di kaki bukit. Beberapa tikus yang lebih kuat berjalan ke balik bukit. Saat matahari terbenam, musang itu melangkah dari batu, dan batu itu mulai bergerak. Batu itu menggelinding menuruni bukit, tetapi musang itu tidak mendengarnya datang. Ia sedang memikirkan makan malamnya.

Batu itu mendarat di atas musang itu.

“Minggir,” teriak musang itu. “Jangan duduk di atasku.”

“Aku akan duduk di sini selama yang aku mau,” kata batu itu. “Lagipula, aku tidak akan pergi ke mana pun.”
