Cinderella do the hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing the floor, cleaning the pot and pan and preparing the
food for the family. The two step sisters, on the other hand, did not work about the house. Their mother gave them many
handsome dresses to wear. One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that the king‟s son was going to
give at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so much time choosing the dresses they would wear. At last,
the day of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help cr ying after they had left. “Why are
you crying, Cinderella?” a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy godmother standing beside her, “because I want
so much to go to the ball” said Cinderella. “Well” said the godmother,”you‟ve been such a cheerful, hardworking,
uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you do go to the ball”. Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin
into a fine coach and mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella‟s raged dress with her
wand, and it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. “Now, Cinderella”, she
said; “You must leave before midnight”. Then away she drove in her beautiful coach. Cinderella was having a
wonderfully good time. She danced again and again with the king‟s son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she
ran toward the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass slipper was left behind. A few days later, the
king‟ son proclaimed that he would marry the girl whose feet fitted the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper
but it was too small for them, no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the king‟s page let
Cinderella try on the slipper. She stuck out her foot and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly. Finally, she
was driven to the palace. The king‟s son was overjoyed to see her again. They were married and live happily ever after.
2. Text Story Ali Baba And Forty Thieves
Once upon a time there were 40 cruel thieves who put their stolen money and treasures in a cave. They went in the cave
by saying ”Open Sesame” to the cave entrance. A poor person, named Ali Baba saw them while they were doing that, so
he heard the opening word. After they left, he went toward the cave and opened it. Suddenly he found a very large
quantity of money and golden treasures. He took some of it and went back home. After that he became a rich man and his
brother wanted to know how he became rich.
Ali Baba turned into the richest man in his village. His evil brother was really jealous of him, and wanted to know how he
could get such a lot of money. Therefore, when Ali Baba went to the cave again to take some more money, his brother
followed him. He saw everything, and decided to go back the next day to take some money for himself. The next
morning he found a lot of money in the cave, and he wanted to take all of them. Unfortunately, when he was busy
carrying the money to his house, the thieves came. The boss of the thieves asked him how he knew about the cave. He
told everything, but unluckily they killed him and went to Ali Baba’s house.
After finding Ali Baba’s house, they made a plan to kill him the following night. Some of the thieves hid in big jars, and
the boss pretended that he was a merchant who wanted to sell the jars to Ali Baba. Ali Baba who was a kind man invited
the boss of the thief to have lunch together.
After lunch they took a rest. Luckily, the house maid went out of the house, and found that there were thieves inside the
jars. She finally boiled hot oil and poured it into the jars to kill all of them. The boss of the thieves was caught, and put
into prison.
Ali Baba was saved from the danger, and he finally lived happily ever after with his maid who became his wife shortly
after.
3. TEXT STORY JACK AND BEANSTALK
Once upon a time there lived a poor widow and her son Jack. One day, Jack‟s mother told him to sell their only cow.
Jack went to the market and on the way he met a man who wanted to buy his cow. Jack asked, “What will you give me
in return for my cow?” The man answered, “I will give you five magic beans!” Jack took the magic beans and gave the
man the cow. But when he reached home, Jack‟s mother was very angry. She said, “You fool! He took away your cow
and gave you some beans!” She threw the beans out of the window. Jack was ver y sad and went to sleep without dinner.
The next day, when Jack woke up in the morning and looked out of the window, he saw that a huge beanstalk had grown
from his magic beans! He climbed up the beanstalk and reached a kingdom in the sky. There lived a giant and his wife.
Jack went inside the house and found the giant‟s wife in the kitchen. Jack said, “Could you please give me something to
eat? I am so hungry!” The kind wife gave him bread and some milk. While he was eating, the giant came home. The
giant was very big and looked very fearsome. Jack was terrified and went and hid inside. The giant cried, “Fee-fifo-fum,
I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he alive, or be he dead, I‟ll grind his bones to make my bread! ” The wife said,
“There is no boy in here!” So, the giant ate his food and then went to his room. He took out his sacks of gold coins,
counted them and kept them aside. Then he went to sleep. In the night, Jack crept out of his hiding place, took one sack
of gold coins and climbed down the beanstalk. At home, he gave the coins to his mother. His mother was very happy and
they lived well for sometime. Jack climbed the beanstalk and went to the giant‟s house again. Once again, Jack asked the
giant‟s wife for food, but while he was eating the giant returned. Jack leapt up in fr ight and went and hid under the bed.
The giant cried, “Fee-fifo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he alive, or be he dead, I‟ll grind his bones to
make my bread!” The wife said, “There is no boyin here!” The giant ate his food and went to his room. There, he took
out a hen. He shouted, “Lay!” and the hen laid a golden egg. When the giant fell asleep, Jack took the hen and climbed
down the beanstalk. Jack‟s mother was very happy with him. After some days, Jack once again climbed the beanstalk
and went to the giant‟s castle. For the third time, Jack met the giant‟s wife and asked for some food. Once again, the
giant‟s wife gave him bread and milk. But while Jack was eating, the giant came home. “Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood
of an Englishman. Be he alive, or be he dead, I‟ll grind his bones to make my bread!” cried the giant. “Don‟t be silly!
There is no boy in here!” said his wife. The giant had a magical harp that could play beautiful songs. While the giant
slept, Jack took the harp and was about to leave. Suddenly, the magic harp cried, “Help master! A boy is stealing me!”
The giant woke up and saw Jack with the harp. Furious, he ran after Jack. But Jack was too fast for him. He ran down
the beanstalk and reached home. The giant followed him down. Jack quickly ran inside his house and fetched an axe. He
began to chop the beanstalk. The giant fell and died. Jack and his mother were now very rich and they lived happily ever
after.
4. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Once upon a time in a great castle, a Prince's daughter grew up happy and contented, in spite of a jealous stepmother.
She was very pretty, with blue eyes and long black hair. Her skin was delicate and fair, and so she was called Snow
White. Everyone was quite sure she would become very beautiful. Though her stepmother was a wicked woman, she too
was very beautiful, and the magic mirror told her this every day, whenever she asked it. "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who
is the loveliest lady in the land?" The reply was always; "You are, your Majesty," until the dreadful day when she heard
it say, "Snow White is the loveliest in the land." The stepmother was furious and, wild with jealousy, began plotting to
get rid of her rival. Calling one of her trusty servants, she bribed him with a rich reward to take Snow White into the
forest, far away from the Castle. Then, unseen, he was to put her to death. The greedy servant, attracted to the reward,
agreed to do this deed, and he led the innocent little girl away. However, when they came to the fatal spot, the man's
courage failed him and, leaving Snow White sitting beside a tree, he mumbled an excuse and ran off. Snow White was
all alone in the forest. Night came, but the servant did not return. Snow White, alone in the dark forest, began to cry
bitterly. She thought she could feel terrible eyes spying on her, and she heard strange sounds and rustlings that made her
heart thump. At last, overcome by tiredness, she fell asleep curled under a tree. Snow White slept fitfully, wakening
from time to time with a start and staring into the darkness round her. Several times, she thought she felt something, or
somebody touch her as she slept. At last, dawn woke the forest to the song of the birds, and Snow White too, awoke. A
whole world was stirring to life and the little girl was glad to see how silly her fears had been. However, the thick trees
were like a wall round her, and as she tried to find out where she was, she came upon a path. She walked along it,
hopefully. On she walked till she came to a clearing. There stood a str ange cottage, with a tiny door, tiny windows and a
tiny chimney pot. Everything about the cottage was much tinier than it ought to be. Snow White pushed the door open. "l
wonder who lives here?" she said to herself, peeping round the kitchen. "What tiny plates! And spoons! There must be
seven of them, the table's laid for seven people." Upstairs was a bedroom with seven neat little beds. Going back to the
kitchen, Snow White had an idea. "I'll make them something to eat. When they come home, they'll be glad to find a meal
ready." Towards dusk, seven tiny men marched homewards singing. But when they opened the door, to their surprise
they found a bowl of hot steaming soup on the table, and the whole house spick and span. Upstairs was Snow White, fast
asleep on one of the beds. The chief dwarf prodded her gently. "Who are you?" he asked. Snow White told them her sad
story, and tears sprang to the dwarfs' eyes. Then one of them said, as he noisily blew his nose: "Stay here with us!"
"Hooray! Hooray!" they cheered, dancing joyfully round the little girl. The dwarfs said to Snow White: "You can live
here and tend to the house while we're down the mine. Don't worry about your stepmother leaving you in the forest. We
love you and we'll take car e of you!" Snow White gratefully accepted their hospitality, and next morning the dwarfs set
off for work. But they warned Snow White not to open the door to strangers. Meanwhile, the servant had returned to the
castle, with the heart of a roe deer. He gave it to the cruel stepmother, telling her it belonged to Snow White, so that he
could claim the reward. Highly pleased, the stepmother turned again to the magic mirror. But her hopes were dashed, for
the mirror replied: "The loveliest in the land is still Snow White, who lives in the seven dwarfs' cottage, down in the
forest." The stepmother was beside herself with rage. "She must die! She must die!" she screamed. Disguising herself as
an old peasant woman, she put a poisoned apple with the others in her basket. Then, taking the quickest way into the
forest, she crossed the swamp at the edge of the trees. She reached the bank unseen, just as Snow White stood waving
goodbye to the seven dwarfs on their way to the mine. Snow White was in the kitchen when she heard the sound at the
door: KNOCK! KNOCK! "Who's there?" she called suspiciously, remembering the dwarfs advice. "I'm an old peasant
woman selling apples," came the reply. "I don't need any apple, thank you," she replied. "But they are beautiful apples
and ever so juicy!" said the velvety voice from outside the door. "I'm not supposed to open the door to anyone," said the
little girl, who was reluctant to disobey her friends. "And quite right too! Good girl! If you promised not to open up to
strangers, then of course you can't buy. You are a good girl indeed!" Then the old woman went on. "And as a reward for
being good, I'm going to make you a gift of one of my apples!" Without a further thought, Snow White opened the door
just a tiny crack, to take the apple. "There! Now isn't that a nice apple?" Snow White bit into the fruit, and as she did, fell
to the ground in a faint: the effect of the terrible poison left her lifeless instantaneously. Now chuckling evilly, the
wicked stepmother hurried off. But as she ran back across the swamp, she tripped and fell into the quicksand. No one
heard her cries for help, and she disappeared without a trace. Meanwhile, the dwarfs came out of the mine to find the sky
had grown dark and stormy. Loud thunder echoed through the valleys and streaks of lightning ripped the sky. Worried
about Snow White they ran as quickly as they could down the mountain to the cottage. There they found Snow White,
lying still and lifeless, the poisoned apple by her side. They did their best to bring her around, but it was no use. They
wept and wept for a long time. Then they laid her on a bed of rose petals, carried her into the forest and put her in a
crystal coffin. Each day they laid a flower there. Then one evening, they discovered a strange young man admiring Snow
White's lovely face through the glass. After listening to the story, the Prince (for he was a prince!) made a suggestion. "If
you allow me to take her to the Castle, I'll call in famous doctors to waken her from this peculiar sleep. She's so lovely
I'd love to kiss her!" He did, and as though by magic, the Prince's kiss broke the spell. To everyone's astonishment, Snow
White opened her eyes. She had amazingly come back to life! Now in love, the Prince asked Snow White to marry him,
and the dwarfs reluctantly had to say good bye to Snow White. From that day on, Snow White lived happily in a great
castle. But from time to time, she was drawn back to visit the little cottage down in the forest.
5. STORY of RAPUNZEL
There were once a man and a woman who had long, in vain, wished for a child. At length it appeared that God was about
to grant their desire. These people had a little window at the back of their house from which a splendid garden could be
seen, which was full of the most beautiful flowers and herbs. It was, however, surrounded by a high wall, and no one
dared to go into it because it belonged to an enchantress, who had great power and was dreaded by all the world. One
day the woman was standing by this window and looking down into the garden, when she saw a bed which was planted
with the most beautiful rampion, and it looked so fresh and green that she longed for it. She quite pined away, and began
to look pale and miserable. Her husband was alarmed, and asked: 'What ails you, dear wife?' 'Ah,' she replied, 'if I can't
eat some of the rampion, which is in the garden behind our house, I shall die.' The man, who loved her, thought: 'Sooner
than let your wife die, bring her some of the rampion yourself, let it cost what it will.' At twilight, he clambered down
over the wall into the garden of the enchantress, hastily clutched a handful of rampion, and took it to his wife. She at
once made herself a salad of it, and ate it greedily. It tasted so good to her - so very good, that the next day she longed
for it three times as much as before. If he was to have any rest, her husband knew he must once more descend into the
garden. Therefore, in the gloom of evening, he let himself down again; but when he had clambered down the wall he
was terribly afraid, for he saw the enchantress standing before him. 'How can you dare,' said she with angry look,
'descend into my garden and steal my rampion like a thief? You shall suffer for it! 'Ah,' answered he, 'let mercy take the
place of justice, I only made up my mind to do it out of necessity. My wife saw your rampion from the window, and felt
such a longing for it that she would have died if she had not got some to eat.' The enchantress allowed her anger to be
softened, and said to him: 'If the case be as you say, I will allow you to take away with you as much rampion as you will,
only I make one condition, you must give me the child which your wife will bring into the world; it shall be well treated,
and I will care for it like a mother.' The man in his terror consented to ever ything. When the woman was brought to bed,
the enchantress appeared at once, gave the child the name of Rapunzel, and took it away with her. Rapunzel grew into
the most beautiful child under the sun. When she was twelve years old, the enchantress shut her into a tower in the
middle of a forest. The tower had neither stairs nor door, but near the top was a little window. When the enchantress
wanted to go in, she placed herself beneath it and cried: 'Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair to me.' Rapunzel had
magnificent long hair, fine as spun gold, and when she heard the voice of the enchantress, she unfastened her braided
tresses, wound them round one of the hooks of the window above, and then the hair fell twenty ells down, and the
enchantress climbed up by it. After a year or two, it came to pass that the king's son rode through the forest and passed
by the tower. Then he heard a song, which was so charming that he stood still and listened. It was Rapunzel, who in her
solitude passed her time in letting her sweet voice resound. The king's son wanted to climb up to her, and looked for the
door of the tower, but none was to be found. He rode home, but the singing had so deeply touched his heart, that every
day he went out into the forest and listened to it. Once when he was thus standing behind a tree, he saw that an
enchantress came there, and he heard how she cried: 'Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair to me.' Then Rapunzel let
down the braids of her hair, and the enchantress climbed up to her. 'If that is the ladder by which one mounts, I too will
try my fortune,' said he, and the next day when it began to grow dark, he went to the tower and cried: 'Rapunzel,
Rapunzel, Let down your hair to me.' Immediately the hair fell down and the king's son climbed up. At first Rapunzel
was terribly frightened when a man, such as her eyes had never yet beheld, came to her; but the king's son began to talk
to her quite like a friend, and told her that his heart had been so stirred that it had let him have no rest, and he had been
forced to see her. Then Rapunzel lost her fear, and when he asked her if she would take him for her husband, and she
saw that he was young and handsome, she thought: 'He will love me more than old Dame Gothel does'; and she said yes,
and laid her hand in his. She said: 'I will willingly go away with you, but I do not know how to get down. Bring with you
a skein of silk every time that you come, and I will weave a ladder with it, and when that is ready I will descend, and you
will take me on your horse.' They agreed that until that time he should come to her every evening, for the old woman
came by day. The enchantress remarked nothing of this, until once Rapunzel said to her: 'Tell me, Dame Gothel, how it
happens that you are so much heavier for me to dr aw up than the young king's son - he is with me in a moment.' 'Ah!
you wicked child,' cried the enchantress. 'What do I hear you say! I thought I had separ ated you from all the world, and
yet you have deceived me!' In her anger she clutched Rapunzel's beautiful tresses, wrapped them twice round her left
hand, seized a pair of scissors with the right, and snip, snap, they were cut off, and the lovely braids lay on the ground.
And she was so pitiless that she took poor Rapunzel into a desert where she had to live in great grief and misery. On the
same day that she cast out Rapunzel, however, the enchantress fastened the braids of hair, which she had cut off, to the
hook of the window, and when the king's son came and cried: 'Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair to me.' She let
the hair down. The king's son ascended, but instead of finding his dearest Rapunzel, he found the enchantress, who
gazed at him with wicked and venomous looks. 'Aha!' she cried mockingly, 'you would fetch your dear est, but the
beautiful bird sits no longer singing in the nest; the cat has got it, and will scratch out your eyes as well. Rapunzel is lost
to you; you will never see her again.' The king's son was beside himself with pain, and in his despair he leapt down from
the tower. He escaped with his life, but the thorns into which he fell pierced his eyes. He wandered quite blind about the
forest, ate nothing but roots and berries, and did naught but lament and weep over the loss of his dearest wife. Thus he
roamed about in misery for some years, and at length came to the desert where Rapunzel, with the twins to which she
had given birth, a boy and a girl, lived in wretchedness. He heard a voice, and it seemed so familiar to him that he went
towards it, and when he approached, Rapunzel knew him and fell on his neck and wept. Two of her tears wetted his eyes
and they grew clear again, and he could see with them as before. He led her to his kingdom where he was joyfully
received, and they lived for a long time afterwards, happy and contented.
STORIES FOR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
1. Story of Jaka Tarub
Once upon a time there was a widow who lived in the village of Dadapan. She had a son whose name was Jaka
Tarub. Dadapan village was close to a wood so Jaka Tarub liked to go to the wood. He liked hunting for animals with his
blowpipe. One day when he was in the wood he saw a beautiful rainbow and he saw seven angels went down through it.
He came closer and searched for them. The seven angels were swimming and taking a bath in a lake. Jaka Tarub looked
at them while hiding behind trees. When they had finished taking a bath, they flew through the rainbow to heaven. The
next day he saw the same thing again. This time Jaka Tarub had an idea. He searched for their dress and when he found
them he took one of them. As they had finished swimming and taking a bath, they looked for their dress. One of them
could not find her dress. Her friends had to come back to heaven so they left her. She was crying while staying in
the water. Jaka Tarub approached her.
„Why are you crying lady?‟
„I lose my dress so I cannot go home‟
„Where is your home?‟
„I live in heaven. I‟m an angel. My name is Nawang Wulan. But I lose my dress so I cannot fly anymore‟
„I you don‟t mind I will take my mother‟s dress for you‟
„OK, please do‟
„Wait for me here, I‟ll be back‟
Then Jaka Tarub went home to take her mother‟s dress and gave it to Nawang Wulan. He asked her to stay at her
house with his mother. Not long after that Jaka Tarub married Nawang Wulan. As an angel Nawang Wulan had
spiritual power. She had ability which far above human being. She could cook rice with just a bar of rice and when it
had done the bowl will be full of rice. But there was one condition. The bowl must not be opened before it has done.
Jaka Tarub was ver y surprised with her wife‟s ability. He was ver y curious about it. So when Nawang Wulan
was away he opened the bowl. Consequently Nawang‟s spiritual power disappeared. She had to cook as ordinar y
human being. Several months later Nawang Wulan gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Her name was Nawang
Sih. The birth of Nawang Sih added happiness to Jaka Tarub and Nawang Wulan. Since Nawang Wulan could not cook
efficiently anymore, she needed more rice than usual. The stock of rice in their store room diminished rapidly. Then
one day when she took rice there she was very surprised. Nawang Wulan found her angel dress. It was hidden
there under piles of rice. She immediately wore it and talked to Jaka Tarub.
„My dear husband, now I know what you did to me‟
„Forgive me, my dear. I admit that I did this because I love you‟
„I love you too. But now I find my dress. I must come back to heaven. I am an angel. My place is not here. I have to go
now‟.
„How about Nawang Sih? She needs you‟
„I will leave her but don‟t worr y. I will take care of her. Anytime she needs me I will be here. For that purpose please
build a tower. When Nawang Sih cries put her there then call my name. I will come immediately. But I will be invisible
to you. Good bye dear‟
Then Jaka Tarub built a tower behind his house. Every time Nawang Sih cried he would put her there. Nawang Wulan
would come and take care of Nawang Sih.

his wife and throw her body into the river.
'Before I die, let me say a few words'
'Please do'

water become clear and fragrance come out of it, it means that I am innocence'.

emotional behavior. Since then on he changed the name of his kingdom into Banyuwangi. Banyu means water and
Wangi means fragrance.
