One morning, Bawang Putih
was washing some clothes in a river. Accidentally, her mother’s clothes were
washed away by the river. She was really worried so she walked along the
river side to find the clothes. Finally she met an old woman. She said that
she kept the clothes and would give them back to Bawang Putih if she helped
the old woman do the household chores. Bawang Putih helped her happily. After
everything was finished, the old woman returned the clothes. She also gave
Bawang Putih a gift. The old woman had two pumpkins, one pumpkin was small
and the other one was big. Bawang Putih had to choose one.

Bawang Putih was not a greedy girl. So she took the small one. After
thanking the old woman, Bawang Putih then went home. When she arrived home,
her step mother and Bawang Merah were angry. They had been waiting for her
all day long. Bawang Putih then told about the clothes, the old woman, and
the pumpkin. Her mother was really angry so she grabbed the pumpkin and
smashed it to the floor. Suddenly they all were surprised. Inside the pumpkin
they found jewelries. “Bawang Merah, hurry up. Go to the river and throw my
clothes into the water. After that, find the old woman. Remember, you have to
take the big pumpkin,” the step mother asked Bawang Merah to do exactly the same
as Bawang Putih’s experience. Bawang Merah immediately went to the river. She
threw the clothes and pretended to search them. Not long after that, she met
the old woman. Again she asked Bawang Merah to do household chores. She
refused and asked the old woman to give her a big pumpkin. The old woman then
gave her the big one. Bawang Merah was so happy. She ran very fast. When she
arrived home, her mother was impatient. She directly smashed the pumpkin to
the floor. They were screaming. There were a lot of snakes inside the
pumpkin! They were really scared. They were afraid the snakes would bite
them. “Mom, I think God just punished us. We had done bad things to Bawang
Putih. And God didn’t like that. We have to apologize to Bawang Putih,” said
Bawang Merah.
