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

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 Name of Hongkong Legend” Beserta Terjemahannya.

Contoh Narrative Text – The Name of Hongkong Legend

The Name of Hongkong Legend

Do you know where the name Hong Kong comes from?

There are several interesting stories about this. A long time ago, there was a village near Arberdeen called “Hong Kong Ts’un” or “Incense Harbour Village”. The incense grown there was famous throughout China. Some of it was even sent to
the Chinese Emperor. Some people believe that the name Hong Kong comes from this village.

What happened to this village? One day, the Emperor wanted some incense sent to him from the village. The villagers did not send it to him. The Emperor then ordered his officer to arrest the village headmen and cut off their heads. After that, everyone ran away from the village and no more incense was grown there.

But some other people believe that Hong Kong is named after a container for burning incense. Long, long ago, this container was picked up in the harbor. It was kept in a tample at Causeway Bay. The place where it was found was called “Hong Kong” or “Incense Harbour”

There is a third story that Hong Kong is named after a woman called Hong ku. She was the wife of a pirate chief. After her husband died, she became the leader of the pirates. She then moved to the island which is now called Hong Kong. If this story is true, the name “Hong kong” means “Hong’s Harbour”.

According to yet another story, Hong Kong is named after a stream near Pokfulan Road. The water was very pleasant to drink. Many years ago, people used to go there to collect drinking water. The stream was called “Hong Kong” or “sweet stream”.

Terjemahannya

Legenda Nama Hongkong

Tahukah Anda dari mana nama Hong Kong berasal?

Ada beberapa cerita menarik tentang hal ini. Dahulu kala, ada sebuah desa dekat Arberdeen yang disebut “Hong Kong Ts’un” atau “Desa Pelabuhan Dupa”. Dupa yang ditanam di sana terkenal di seluruh Tiongkok. Beberapa di antaranya bahkan dikirim ke Kaisar Tiongkok. Beberapa orang percaya bahwa nama Hong Kong berasal dari desa ini.

Apa yang terjadi dengan desa ini? Suatu hari, Kaisar ingin mengirimkan dupa kepadanya dari desa tersebut. Penduduk desa tidak mengirimkannya kepadanya. Kaisar kemudian memerintahkan perwiranya untuk menangkap kepala desa dan memenggal kepala mereka. Setelah itu, semua orang lari dari desa tersebut dan tidak ada lagi dupa yang ditanam di sana.

Namun, beberapa orang lain percaya bahwa Hong Kong dinamai berdasarkan wadah untuk membakar dupa. Dahulu kala, wadah ini diambil di pelabuhan. Wadah itu disimpan di sebuah kuil di Causeway Bay. Tempat ditemukannya wadah itu disebut “Hong Kong” atau “Pelabuhan Dupa”.

Ada cerita ketiga yang menyebutkan bahwa Hong Kong dinamai berdasarkan seorang wanita bernama Hong ku. Ia adalah istri seorang kepala bajak laut. Setelah suaminya meninggal, ia menjadi pemimpin bajak laut. Ia kemudian pindah ke pulau yang sekarang disebut Hong Kong. Jika cerita ini benar, nama “Hong Kong” berarti “Pelabuhan Hong”.

Menurut cerita lain, Hong Kong dinamai berdasarkan sebuah sungai di dekat Jalan Pokfulan. Airnya sangat nikmat untuk diminum. Dahulu kala, orang-orang biasa pergi ke sana untuk mengambil air minum. Sungai itu disebut “Hong Kong” atau “sungai manis”.
