Contoh Narrative Text “Lutung Kasarung”
A long time ago in west
Java there was a kingdom. The king was Prabu Tapak Agung. He had two
beautiful daughters and no son. Purba Rarang was his first daughter, and
Purba Sari was his second daughter. When the king was about to pass
away he gave the throne to his second daughter, Purba Sari. Purba Rarang
was very disappointed. She thought that she deserve to replace her
father as the ruler. She discussed the situation with her fiancé,
Indrajaya.
Then she got an evil idea.
She asked a witch to cast a spell to Purba Sari. Soon after that Purba
Sari had a strange skin disease. There were black dots on her skin. She
also had skin rash. Consequently Purba Rarang had a reason to tell
people that her sister had a great sin and she was cursed by god. She
told her people that such a person did not qualify to be a leader.
After that she ordered the
army to send Purba Sari to a wood and had her exiled there. The army
then built a wooden house for Purba Sari in a wood. So Purba Sari lived
in the wood. As there were many animals in the wood she got along with
them well.
Her best friend was a
black monkey. She called the monkey Lutung Kasarung. Lutung was very
attentive and very kind to her. He gave fruits and vegetables to Purba
Sari.
Lutung Kasarung was not an
ordinary monkey. He often meditates like human being. One night when
there was a full moon he sat meditating. He was praying to God. Suddenly
a spring emerged beside Lutung. It became bigger and bigger and finally
it became a lake. The water was very clear and aromatic.
The next day Lutung came
to see Purba Sari. He asked her to follow him. Lutung took her to the
lake and asked her to take a bath. When Purba Sari took bath in the lake
something strange happened. Her skin disease was gone and her smooth
fair skin was back. Purba Sari was very happy and thankful to God.
Meanwhile Purba Rarang who
lived in the palace wanted to see her sister. So she went to the wood
with her soldiers. She was very surprised when she saw Purba Sari was in
good condition and looked beautiful. Her evil heart led her to find a
way to beat her sister. Then she asked her sister to measure the length
of their hair. The one who had the longest hair would win. Purba Sari’s
hair proved to be longer than Purba Rarang’s.
Purba Rarang was very
jealous to her sister. She thought hard to find a way to beat Purba
Sari. Then she got another idea. She asked her sister to compare their
fiancé. Purba Rarang was sure that she would win because Indra Jaya was
very handsome. She was sure that Purba Sari did not have any fiancé.
When Purba Rarang showed Indra Jaya, Purba Sari was confused. So she
just appointed Lutung Kasarung as her fiancé.
Purba Rarang laughed out loud.
‘So your fiancé is a monkey?’
Lutung Kasarung then sat
on the ground. He was meditating and praying to God. Then amazingly he
changed into a very handsome man. Initially Lutung Kasarung was a
handsome man who was punished by God and became a monkey. After some
years that day he got clemency from God and he became human being again.
Purba Rarang was very
surprised. He had no choice but to accept that her sister was better
than her. She asked for apology. Purba Sari gave her apology. After that
they went back to palace. Purba Sari became the queen and married to
Lutung Kasarung.
