Enchanted fish

hello reader, would you like to study with me? how about we learn 'narrative text'? yes, it's a good idea. let's start it💪. 

"once upon a time...

 narrative text

It doesn't only entertain the readers, but also gives us a valuable massage 

• fable: story about animals that act like humans beings
• legend: old story which may not be based on reality 
• folk tale: traditional story that are told from generation to generation
• fairy tale: stories for children about princess, fairy, witch, ect. 

purpose 

it amuses or entertains the reader with imaginary 

generic structure 

orientation, it's introducing who is in story, when and where it's happening and what is going on

complication, it shows us how the problem starts till its climax 

resolution, how the problem is solved or ended

re-orientation, closing sentence contains moral value from the story (it's optional) 

enchanted fish 

There once was a fisherman who lived with his wife in a small hut close by the seaside. The fisherman used to go fishing every day. One day, as he sat in his boat with his rod, looking at the sparkling waves and watching his line, all of a sudden his float was dragged away deep into the water. He quickly started to reel in his line and managed to pull out a huge fish. “Wow! This will feed us for days.” Much to his surprise, the fish started to talk and said, “Pray, let me live! I am not a real fish; I am an enchanted prince. Put me in the water again, and let me go! Have mercy o' kind fisherman.” The astonished fisherman quickly threw him back, exclaiming, “I don't want to hurt a talking fish! Go on! Go where you came from.”

When the fisherman went home to his wife, he told her everything that had happened and how, on hearing it speak, he had let it go again. “Didn't you ask it for anything?” said the wife. “No, I didn't, what should I have asked for?” replied the fisherman.

“I am surprised you don't realize what you should have asked for. We live very wretchedly here, in this nasty dirty hut. We are poor and I am so miserable. You should have asked for a nice cozy cottage. Now go back and ask the fish that we want a snug little cottage”, said his wife

The fisherman wasn't sure about this but he still went to the seashore, sat in his boat, went to the middle of the sea and said:

“O enchanted beautiful fish!

Hear my plea!

My wife wants not what I want,

and she won't give up till she has her own will,

so come forth and help me!”

The fish immediately came swimming to him, and said, “Well, what is her will? How can I help your wife?” “Ah!” said the fisherman, “she says that when I had caught you, I ought to have asked you for something before I let you go. She does not like living in our little hut, and wants a snug little cottage.” “Go home, then,” said the fish, “She is already in the cottage!” So the fisherman went home, and saw his wife standing at the door of a nice trim little cottage. “Come in, come on in! Look at the beautiful cottage we have.” Everything went fine for a while, and then one day fisherman's wife said, “Husband, there is not enough room for us in this cottage, go back to the fish and tell him to make me an emperor.” “Wife,” said the fisherman, “I don't want to go to him again. Perhaps he will be angry. We ought to be happy with what the fish has given us and not be greedy.” “Nonsense!” said the wife; “The fish will do it very willingly, I know. Go along and try!” With a heavy heart the fisherman went to the middle of the sea and said:

“O enchanted beautiful fish!

Hear my plea!

My wife wants not what I want,

and she won't give up till she has her own will,

so come forth and help me!”

“What would she have now?” said the fish. “Ah!” said the fisherman, “she wants to be an emperor.” “Go home,” said the fish; “She is an emperor already.”

So he went home and he saw his wife sitting on a very lofty throne made of solid gold, with a great crown on her head full two yards high. And on each side of her stood her guards and attendants in a row. The fisherman went up to her and said, “Wife, are you an emperor?” “Yes”, said she, “I am an emperor.” “Ah!” said the man, as he gazed upon her, “What a fine thing it is to be an emperor!” “Husband,” said she, “it is good to be an emperor.” They were happy for a while

Then a time came when she was not able to sleep all night for she was thinking what she should ask next. At last, as she was about to fall asleep, morning broke, and the sun rose. “Ha!'” thought she, as she woke up and looked at it through the window, “after all I cannot prevent the sun from rising.” At this thought she was very angry, and wakened her husband, and said, “Husband, go to the fish and tell him I must be Lord of the sun and the moon.” The fisherman was half asleep, but the thought frightened him so much that he fell out of the bed. “Alas, wife!” said he, “cannot you be happy with being such a powerful emperor?” “No,” said she, “I am very uneasy as long as the sun and the moon rise without my permission. Go to the fish at once!” “I don't think this is a good idea,” said the fisherman but his wife wouldn't listen to him. “ Why don't you just go and ask the fish to make me the Lord of everything,” she said.

Then the man went shivering with fear. As he was going down to the shore a dreadful storm arose. The trees and the very rocks shook and the sky became black with stormy clouds. There were great black waves, swelling up like mountains with crowns of white foam upon their heads. Unfortunately the fisherman did not have any choice, so he got onto his boat and rowed to the middle of the sea and cried out as loud as he could:

“O enchanted beautiful fish!

Hear my plea!

My wife wants not what I want,

and she won't give up till she has her own will,

so come forth and help me!”

“What does she want now?” said the fish. “I am truly ashamed of my wife's greed but I can't do anything. She wants to be Lord of the sun and the moon. “Go home,” said the fish, “to your small hut.” And it is said that they live there to this very day.

The Arrogant Fish

Story by: Dythia Asma Nadia

Small pond 

In a small pond there lived an arrogant fish named Jupri. The fish was bigger than the fish in the pond so he often bullied the other small fish. One day the small fish talked to the arrogant fish "Jupri you don't belong here because this is a small pond for you, you go to sea ​​alone. there are lots of other big fish and you can make friends with them". "You are right, I do not belong here because I am greater than you. I will be ready to go to the sea" replied Jupri.

Jupri

Arriving at sea Jupri met big fish, invited them to be friends with him "hello nice to meet you, introduce my name Jupri, I came from the pond." but jupri was not well received, "heh the little fish dared to talk to me, my name is suparman. I'm not interested in being friends with you. Now I'm hungry so I'll eat you". 

Suparman

Suparman wants to eat jupri instead. Jupri was scared, he ran away, suparman chased him. Jupri managed to escape from the suparman because of the release behind the seaweed.

Jupri then regretted that he had come to the sea, he wanted to return to the small pond and live peacefully with other small fish. He will never oppress the small fish in the pond again. and he won't be a arrogant fish anymore.

Moral value: we must not be arrogant. we must respect our friends. we have to live peacefully together.
