NARRATIVE TEXT


A folktale is a narrative text that tells a story that is mainly used to entertain or amuse the reader or the listener. As most narratives, folktales usually consist of three parts:
  • Orentation this part can usually be found in the first paragraph. In this part, the writer introduces the characters and the setting (time or places) of the story.
  • Compplication(s) in this part, the main character faces a complication or crisis.
  • Resulotion(s) this part tells how complication or crisis is resolved. if there is more than one complication, there might be more than one resolution.
Example :
Poor Mr. Lebai (Pak Lebai Malang) - a Folktale from West Samutra

Long ago, a man called Mr. Lebai lived on a river bank in a village in West Sumatra. One day he received two party invitations-one form upstream and another one downstream. The two parties' locations were far from each other. However, the parties were to take place exactly at the same time.

Not wanting to miss both parties, he started rowing his boat downstream for he knew that the food there was very delicious. In the middle of his journey he stopped, Mr. Lebai remembered that the host of the upstream usually gave more food to the guests, so he turned back his boat and started to row his boat to the upstream.

After rowing for several minutes, he stopped again. He remembered that the downstream host was a generous man. Mr. Lebai thought that if he got there earlyhe would get a delicious buffalo head. He turned back to get the downstream village.

However, when he git there, the party in the downstream village was over. He saw people walking home, bringing bags of food. Mr. Lebai was disappointed. He quickly turned his boat heading for the upstream village. He rowed as fast as he could. However, in the middle of the journey, he saw people walking home bringing their bags of food too. It means the party in the upstream was over too.

Mr. Lebai went home empty-handed, disappointed, and exhausted. He was so unfortunate. Thereafter, he was nicknamed "Pak Lebai Malang" or "Poor Mr. Lebai."

Lokasi kedua partai itu jauh dari satu sama lain. Namun, pesta-pesta itu akan berlangsung tepat pada waktu yang sama.

    Tak mau ketinggalan kedua belah pihak, ia mulai mendayung perahu ke hilir karena ia tahu makanan di sana sangat enak. Di tengah perjalanannya dia berhenti, TuanLebai teringat bahwa tuan rumah di hulu biasanya memberi makan lebih banyak kepada para tamu, maka ia memutar kembali perahunya dan mulai mendayung perahunya ke hulu.

    Setelah mendayung selama beberapa menit, dia berhenti lagi. Dia ingat bahwa tuan rumah hilir adalah pria yang murah hati. Pak. Lebai mengira kalau sampai di sana lebih awal dia akan mendapat kepala kerbau yang enak. Dia berbalik untuk mendapatkan desa hilir.

    Namun, sesampainya di sana, pesta di kampung hilir sudah usai. Dia melihat orang-orang berjalan pulang, membawa kantong makanan.
