Dahulu kala hiduplah seorang putri cantik dengan kulit yang terang (putih) dan mata biru. Dia begitu
putih sehingga ia diberi nama Putri Salju. Ibunya meninggal saat Putri Salju masih bayi dan ayahnya
menikah lagi. Ratu ini sangat cantik tapi dia juga sangat kejam.
The wicked stepmother wanted to be the most beautiful lady in the kingdom and she would often ask
her magic mirror, “Mirror! Mirror on the wall! Who is the fairest of them all?” And the magic mirror
would say, “You are, Your Majesty!” But one day, the mirror replied, “Snow White is the fairest of
them all!” The wicked queen was very angry and jealous of Snow White. She ordered her huntsman to
take Snow White to the forest and kill her. “I want you to bring back her heart,” she ordered. But
when the huntsman reached the forest with Snow White, he took pity on her and set her free. He
killed a deer and took its heart to the wicked queen and told her that he had killed Snow White. Snow
White wandered in the forest all night, crying.
Ibu tirinya (putri salju) yang jahat ingin menjadi wanita yang paling cantik di kerajaan dan dia sering
bertanya kepada cermin sihirnya, "Cermin! Cermin di dinding! Siapa yang tercantik dari mereka
(perempuan di seluruh kerajaan)semua? "Dan cermin ajaib berkata," Kamu, Yang Mulia! "Tapi suatu
hari, cermin itu menjawab," Putri salju adalah yang tercantik dari mereka semua! "Ratu jahat sangat
marah dan cemburu kepada Putri Salju. Dia memerintahkan pemburu untuk membawa Putri Salju ke
hutan dan membunuhnya. "Aku ingin kau membawa kembali hatinya," perintahnya. Tapi ketika
pemburu mencapai hutan dengan putri salju, dia merasa kasihan padanya dan membebaskannya. Dia
membunuh rusa dan mengambil hatinya untuk ratu jahat dan mengatakan kepadanya bahwa ia telah
membunuh Putri Salju. Putri Salju pun kemudian mengembara di hutan sepanjang malam, menangis.
When it was daylight, she came to a tiny cottage and went inside. There was nobody there, but she
found seven plates on the table and seven tiny beds in the bedroom. She cooked a wonderful meal
and cleaned the house and tired, finally slept on one of the tiny beds. At night, the seven dwarfs who
lived in the cottage came home and found Snow White sleeping. When she woke up and told them
her story, the seven dwarfs asked her to stay with them. When the dwarfs were away, Snow White
would make delicious meals for them. The dwarfs loved her and cared for her. Every morning, when
they left the house, they instructed her never to open the door to strangers.
Ketika menjelang siang, dia datang ke sebuah pondok kecil dan masuk ke dalam. tidak ada seorangpun
disana (di dalam pondok), tapi dia menemukan tujuh piring di atas meja dan tujuh tempat tidur kecil di
kamar tidur. Dia memasak makanan yang enak dan membersihkan rumah dan kelelahan, akhirnya tidur
di salah satu tempat tidur kecil. Pada malam hari, tujuh kurcaci yang tinggal di pondok pulang dan
menemukan Putri Salju tidur. Ketika ia bangun dan mengatakan kepada mereka kisahnya, tujuh kurcaci
memintanya untuk tinggal bersama mereka. Ketika kurcaci pergi, Putri Salju akan membuat makanan
lezat untuk mereka. Para kurcaci mencintainya dan menyayanginya. Setiap pagi, ketika mereka
meninggalkan rumah, mereka memerintahkan dia untuk tidak pernah membuka pintu untuk orang
asing.
Meanwhile, in the palace, the wicked queen asked, “Mirror! Mirror on the Who is the fairest of them
Sementara itu, di istana, ratu jahat kembali bertanya, "Cermin! Cermin di Siapa yang tercantik dari
mereka.
The mirror replied, White is the fairest of them all! She lives with the seven dwarfs in the woods!” The
wicked stepmother was furious. She was actually a witch knew how to make magic potions. She now
made a poisonous potion and dipped a shiny red apple into it. Then she disguised herself as an old
peasant woman and went to the woods with the apple. She knocked on the cottage door and said
“Pretty little child! Let me in! Look what I have for you!” White said, “I am so sorry, old lady, I cannot
let you in! The seven dwarfs have told me not to talk to strangers!” But then, Snow White saw the
shiny red apple, and opened the door. The wicked witch offered her the apple and when she took a
bite poor Snow White fell into a deep sleep. The wicked stepmother went back to the palace and
asked the mirror, “Mirror! Mirror on the wall! Who is the fairest of them all?” The mirror replied, “You
are, Your Majesty!” and she was very happy.
Cermin menjawab, Putri salju adalah yang tercantik dari mereka semua! Dia tinggal dengan tujuh
kurcaci di hutan! "Si ibu tiri jahat sangat marah. Dia sebenarnya adalah seorang penyihir yang tahu
bagaimana membuat ramuan sihir. Dia sekarang membuat ramuan beracun dan mencelupkan apel
merah mengkilap ke dalamnya. Lalu ia menyamar sebagai seorang wanita petani tua dan pergi ke hutan
dengan apel. Dia mengetuk pintu pondok dan berkata "Wahai anak kecil! Biarkan aku masuk! Lihat apa
yang saya punya untuk (diberikan kepada) Anda! "Kata Putri salju," Saya sangat menyesal, wanita tua,
saya tidak boleh membiarkan Anda masuk! Tujuh kurcaci telah mengatakan kepada saya untuk tidak
berbicara dengan orang asing! "Tapi kemudian, Putri Salju melihat apel merah mengkilap, dan
membuka pintu. Si penyihir jahat menawarinya apel dan ketika ia mengigit sedikit bagian dari apel
tersebut Putri Salju jatuh dan akhirnya ter tidur nyenyak. Ibu tiri yang jahat kembali ke istana dan
bertanya kepada cermin, "Cermin! Cermin di dinding! Siapa yang tercantik dari mereka semua? "Jawab
Cermin," Kamu, Yang Mulia! "Dan dia sangat senang.
When the seven dwarfs came home to find Snow White lying on the floor, they were very upset. They
cried all night and then built a glass coffin for Snow White. They kept the coffin in front of the cottage.
One day, Prince Charming was going past the cottage and he saw Snow White lying in the coffin. He
said to the dwarfs, “My! My! She is so beautiful! I would like to kiss her!” And he did. Immediately,
Snow White opened her eyes. She was alive again! The Prince and the seven dwarfs were very happy.
Prince Charming married Snow White and took her to his palace and lived happily ever after.
Ketika tujuh kurcaci datang ke rumah, mereka menemukan Putri Salju tergeletak di lantai, mereka
sangat marah. Mereka menangis sepanjang malam dan kemudian membangun sebuah peti kaca untuk
Putri Salju. Mereka menyimpan peti kaca tersebut di depan pondok. Suatu hari, Pangeran Tampan akan
melewati pondok dan ia melihat Putri Salju berbaring di peti mati. Dia mengatakan kepada para kurcaci,
"oh! oh! Dia begitu cantik! Saya ingin menciumnya! "Dan dia melakukannya. Segera, Putri Salju
membuka matanya. Dia hidup kembali! Sang pangeran dan tujuh kurcaci sangat senang. Si Pangeran
yang tampan pun menikahi Putri Salju dan membawanya ke istananya dan hidup bahagia selamanya.

In the next day, Mouse Deer wanted to cross the river. He wanted to eat the fruits on the other side of
the river. He saw a floating log in the river. He knew that Crocodile looked like a log when he floated.
Mouse Deer didn’t want to be eaten by Crocodile when he crosses the river. He had an idea. He called
out loud, “Crocodile!” Crocodile rose from the water, “Hello, Mouse Deer. Have you come to be my
lunch?” Mouse Deer smiled. “Sorry, not today, Crocodile. I have orders from the King. He wants to invite
all the crocodiles in this river to a party. He wants me to count all the crocodiles so he could prepare
enough meal for you.”
“Really…? Tell us what to do,” said Crocodile. “You must line up from this side of the river to the other
side,” said Mouse Deer. Crocodile then got all his friends and family. They lined up across the river.
Mouse Deer then jumped onto Crocodile’s back. “One,” he counted. He jumped onto the next crocodile,
“Two.” And the next crocodile, “Three.” Mouse Deer kept jumping until he arrived on the other side of
the river. “How many are there?” asked Crocodile. “Just enough,” said Mouse Deer. He laughed as he
ran to the forest.***
Suatu hari, Kancil pergi ke sungai untuk minum. Tapi ia tahu bahwa buaya mungkin menunggu didalam
air untuk memakannya, jadi dia berteriak keras-keras. “Aku ingin tahu apakah air hangat. Aku akan
memasukkan kaki saya ke dalam air dan mencari tahu. “Tentu saja Kancil memasukkan kakinya. Dia
mengambil tongkat dan memasukkan satu ujung ke dalam air. Chomp …! Buaya menyambar tongkat dan
menariknya ke bawah air. Kancil tertawa. “Ha … ha … ha … buaya bodoh! Tidak bisakah membedakan
antara tongkat dan kaki? “Lalu Kancil lari untuk minum di tempat lain.
Pada hari berikutnya, Kancil ingin menyeberang sungai. Dia ingin makan buah-buahan di sisi lain sungai.
Dia melihat batang kayu mengambang di sungai. Dia tahu bahwa Buaya tampak seperti kayu
mengambang ketika ia mengambang. Kancil tidak mau dimakan oleh buaya ketika ia melintasi sungai.
Dia punya ide. Ia berseru keras, “Buaya!” Buaya terangkat dari air, “Halo, Kancil. Apakah kamu datang
untuk menjadi makan siang saya? “Kancil tersenyum. “Maaf, tidak hari ini, Buaya. Saya mendapat
perintah dari Raja. Dia ingin mengajak seluruh buaya di sungai ini ke pesta. Dia ingin aku menghitung
semua buaya sehingga ia bisa mempersiapkan cukup makanan untuk kamu. ”
“Sunggu…? Beritahu kami apa yang harus dilakukan, “kata Buaya. “kamu harus berbaris dari sisi sungai
ke sisi lain,” kata Kancil. Buaya kemudian memanggil semua teman-temannya dan keluarganya. Mereka
berbaris di seberang sungai. Kancil lalu melompat ke punggung buaya. “Satu,” ia menghitung. Dia
melompat ke buaya berikutnya, “Dua.” Dan buaya berikutnya, “Tiga.” Kancil terus melompat sampai ia
tiba di sisi lain sungai. “Berapa banyak?” Tanya Buaya. “Cukup,” kata Kancil. Dia tertawa sambil berlari

The Happy Prince
High above the city, stood the statue of the Happy Prince. He was covered with thin leaves of fine gold.
He had two bright sapphires eyes, and a large red ruby glowed on his sword.
Diatas kota, berdiri sebuah patung “Pangeran Bahagia”. Ia ditutupi dengan daun emas. Ia memiliki dua
pasang mata dari batu safir, dan batu rubi merah yang bersinar di pedangnya.
Pada suatu malam, terbanglah seekor burung walet kecil di atas kota.
He saw the eyes of the Happy Prince were filled with tears that running down his golden cheeks.
Ia melihat mata pangeran dipenuhi dengan air mata yang mengalir menuju pipi emasnya.
“When I was alive and had a human heart,” answered the statue, “I did not know what tears were, for I
lived in the palace, where sorrow is not allowed to enter. And now that I am dead and stood so high that
I can see all the misery of my city.’
“Saat aku masih hidup dan memiliki hati manusia,” jawab sang patung, “Aku tidak tahu apa itu air mata
karena aku tinggal di istana, dimana kesusahan tidak boleh masuk. Dan sekarang saat aku mati dan
berdiri di atas, aku dapat melihat semua kesulitan yang ada di kotaku.”
“Far away,” continued the statue, ‘far away in a little street there is a poor house. I can see a woman
seated at a table. In a bed in the corner of the room her little boy is lying ill. Swallow, Swallow, little
Swallow, will you bring her the ruby out of my sword-hilt? My feet are fastened to here and I cannot
move.’
Di tempat yang jauh,” lanjut si patung, di jalan kecil, ada sebuah rumah. Aku dapat melihat wanita
duduk di sebuah meja. Di tempat tidur, anak laki-lakinya terbaring sakit. Burung walet, burung walet
kecil, maukah kamu membawakan batu rubi pada pangkal pedangku ini? Kakiku terpaku di sini dan tidak
dapat bergerak.
So the Swallow picked out the great ruby from the Prince’s sword, and flew away with it in his mouth
over the roofs of the town. He flew gently round the bed, fanning the boy’s forehead with his wings.
Burung waletpun memilih batu rubi dari pedang sang pangeran, dan terbang dengan membawanya di
mulut melalui atap-atap kota. Ia terbang dengan lembut di sekililing tempat tidur, mengepakkan
sayapnya di dahi anak laki-laki.
“It is strange,” the Swallow remarked, “I feel quite warm now, although it is so cold.”
“Ini aneh” ujar si burung walet, “Aku merasa sangat hangat, meskipun di sini dingin.”
‘That is because you have done a good deed,” said the Prince.
“Itu karena kamu telah melakukan hal yang baik,” ujar sang pangeran
“Swallow, Swallow, little Swallow,” said the prince, ‘far away across the city I see a young man in a
garret. He is trying to finish a play for the Director of the Theatre, but he is too cold to write any more.
There is no fire in the grate, and hunger has made him faint.’
“Burung walet, burung walet kecil,” ujar sang pangeran, jauh di seberang kota, aku melihat seorang laki-
laki di loteng rumah. Ia berusaha menyelesaikan sebuah drama untuk pengarah teater, tapi ia tidak
dapat menulis lagi karena terlalu dingin. Tidak ada api di loteng, dan ia pingsan karena kelaparan.
“All that I have left are my sapphires eyes. Take one of them to him. He will sell it to the jeweler, and
buy food and firewood, and finish his play.”
“Yang aku punya hanyalah sepasang batu safir di mataku. Ambil salah satunya dan berikan padanya. Ia
akan menjualnya kepada tukang emas, dan membeli makanan serta kayu untuk membuat api, dan
menyelesaikan drama yang dibuatnya.
“Dear Prince,” said the Swallow, “I cannot do that,” and he began to weep.
“Pangeran tersayang,” ujar burung walet, “Aku tidak dapat melakukan itu,” dan ia mulai menangis
‘Swallow, Swallow, little Swallow,’ said the Prince, ‘do as I command you.’ So the Swallow plucked out
the Prince’s eye, and flew away to the student’s garret.
“Burung walet, burung walet kecil,” kata sang pangeran, “lakukan apa yang aku perintahkan padamu”.
Burung waletpun mencabut mata pangeran dan terbang ke loteng rumah.
“Swallow, Swallow, little Swallow. In the square below,” said the Happy Prince, “there stands a little
match-girl. She has let her matches fall in the gutter, and they are all spoiled. She has no shoes or
stockings, and her little head is bare. Give my other eye to her.”
“Burung walet, burung walet kecil. Di tengah kota,” kata sang pangeran, “berdiri gadis korek api kecil. Ia
meninggalkan semua korek apinya di selokan, dan menjadi rusak. Ia tidak punya sepatu atau stoking,
dan kepalanya tidak mengenakan apapun. Berikan mataku yang satu lagi kepadanya.”
“Swallow, Swallow, little Swallow,” said the Prince, “do as I command you.” So he plucked out the
Prince’s other eye, and darted down with it.
“Burung walet, burung walet kecil,” ujar sang pangeran, “laukan seperti perintahku.” Ia pun mencabut
mata pangeran yang satunya, dan terbang seperti anak panah kebawah dengannya.
“Dear little Swallow,” said the Prince, “Look, the rich are making merry in their beautiful houses, while
the beggars are sitting at the gates. The white faces of starving children are looking out listlessly at the
black streets. Under a bridge two little boys are lying in one another’s arms to try and keep themselves
warm…”
“Burung walet tersayang,” kata sang pangeran, “Lihatlah orang kaya membuat pesta di rumah indah
mereka, sementara pengemis duduk di pagar mereka. Wajah pucat anak kecil yang kelaparan melihat
tanpa gairah ke arah jalanan yang gelap. Di bawah jembatan, dua anak laki-laki saling berpelukan agar
tetap merasa hangat…”
“I am covered with fine gold,” said the Prince, “you must take it off, leaf by leaf, and give it to my poor;
the living always think that gold can make them happy.”
“Alu ditutupi dengan emas murni,” kata sang pangeran, “kamu harus mengambilnya, daun per daun,
dan berikan kepada yang miskin, mereka yang hidup berpikir kalau emas dapat membuat mereka
bahagia.”
Leaf after leaf of the fine gold the Swallow picked off, now the Happy Prince looked quite dull and grey.
The poor little Swallow was very cold, he kissed the Happy Prince on the lips, and fell down dead at his
feet.
Burung waletpun menggentaskan daun emas satu per satu, sekarang pangeran bahagia terlihat
membosankan dan abu-abu. Burung walet kecil merasa sangat dingin, ia mencium pangeran bahagia di
bibirnya dan dan jatuh mati di bawah kakinya.
At that moment a curious crack sounded inside the statue, as if something had broken. The fact is that
the leaden heart had snapped right in two. It certainly was a bad frost.
Pada saat itu bunyi retakan terdengar dari dalam patung, seakan sesuatu telah rusak. Pada faktanya hati
yang kelam telah terbagi menjadi dua. Benar-benar beku.
The Frog Prince( Pangeran Katak)
Once upon a time, there lived a king with his beautiful daughter, the princess.
One day, the princess went to the forest to play with her favorite toy: a golden ball.
Sang puteri pergi ke hutan untuk bermain dengan mainan kesukaannya: bola emas

The princess heard the voice, looked, and saw an ugly frog.
Sang puteri mendengar suara, ia melihat dan menemukan seekor katak buruk rupa.
“Don’t cry! I’ll help you if you will be my friend.” Said the frog.
“Jangan menangis! Aku akan membantumu jika kamu mau menjadi temanku”, kata sang katak
“OK, I will be your friend” the Princess agreed but she thought: This ugly frog is silly. We can’t be
“Ya, aku akan menjadi temanmu”, sang puteri setuju tetapi ia berpikir: katak ini lucu. Tentu saja kita
tidak bisa jadi teman.
The frog jumped into the well, and got the ball.
The princess was so happy she picked up her ball, and ran away.
The next day the Princess was at home and she heard a noise at the door.
Keesokan harinya, saat sang puteri berada di rumah, ia mendengar suara bising di pintu.
“Yesterday my ball fell into the well and the frog got it for me.
“Kemarin, bolaku terjatuh ke dalam sumur dan katak ini mengambilnya untukku
So I promised we could be friends, but he’s just a frog!” the Princess protested.
Jadi aku berjanji untuk menjadi temannya, tapi iahanyalah seekor katak!”, kata sang puteri.
“This frog helped you. You must be kind and keep your promises. Let him in.”
“Katak ini mebantumu. Kamu harus bersikap baik dan menepati janjimu. Biarkan ia masuk.”
“Aku lelah, tolong bawa aku ke kamarmu dan kita dapat tidur”
The frog was gone, and there was a handsome prince sitting on a chair.
Sang katak telah pergi, dan terlihat pangeran rupawan duduk di kursi
The prince explained: “A witch turned me into a frog and your kindness helped turning me back into a
prince.”
San pangeran menjelaskan: “Penyihir mengubahku menjadi seekor katak dan kebaikanmu membuatku
kembali menjadi pangeran”
At this moment, a colorful coach drove up, with eight beautiful horses.
Saat ini, kereta yang penuh warna dengan delapan kuda membawa mereka
It was not long before the princess gave her permission and bid the King goodbye and got on their way.
Tidak lama sebelum sang puteri mengijinkannya dan memberikan selamat tinggal kepada raja.

The honest boy
Once upon a time, there was an old king who was very sad because he did not have a boy as a successor
to his throne. The king finally decided to adopt a son who will be a prince. Then the king held an
announcement to all the boys in his kingdom that he was looking for someone to be adopted as his son.
All the boys in the country got together to meet the king. The king became confused because there were
many boys proposed themselves as a potential prince. Then he thought so hard to find the boy who
deserves to be a prince. Finally, the king got an idea. He distributed seeds to all the boys. Then he said
that anyone who could grow the seeds into beautiful flowers would become the prince.
All the boys in the country planted and cared the seeds carefully. Including a boy named Yong Tu, he
planted that seed well. He also watered and gave fertilizer to the seed every day. But after some time,
he wondered why the seed didn’t grow into a plant. He was almost disappointed at the condition. One
of his friends named Park Ha came and asked, “Why do not your seeds grow into a plant?” “I do not
know. I had taken care of the seed well.” Answer Yong Tu. Park Ha mocked him and showed his seed
that grows into a beautiful flower. “Mine has grown and has a beautiful flower. I will be the successor of
this kingdom “said Park Ha with arrogant.
Shortly after that, the election of the prince arrived. All the boys in the country lined up and wore their
best clothes. They also carried pots containing plant with beautiful flowers. Then the king approached
them one by one to choose his successor candidate. But the king was very sad when he saw all the boys
brought plants with beautiful flowers. When he almost disappointed, the king saw a boy in the back row,
holding an empty flower pots.
The king approached the boy and asked, “Why are you carrying a pot that no plant flowers?” “I maintain
the seed that I sowed every day, but it did not germinate at all.” The boy replied and cried. Then the king
smiled at him. “This is my adopted son who will be a prince” said the king to the people. All the boys
were shocked. They asked the king, “Why did my lord choose the boy without flower? Did not you want
a child who can grow the most beautiful flower? “
“I shared you the seed that has been boiled. Those seeds should not grow into plants. “The king
answered. They were all embarrassed with the king. In fact, the king didn’t want the boy who could
grow the most beautiful flowers. He chose someone who is honest. All the boys in the country replaced
the seeds given by the king to another seeds. However Yong Tu didn’t do that because he was honest.
Therefore the king chose him as the prince.
