Contoh Narrative Text – The story of Redhill

The Legend of Redhill

Once upon time there were many swordfish in the sea near Singapore. These swordfish caushed a great deal of trouble. They flew into boats and sometimes killed fishermen. There were so many of these swordfish that the raja decided to kill them.

So the raja brought his army down to the sea to fight the swordfish. Many people came to watch the battle, and among them was a very clever little boy. The little boy watched the soldier in their uniform, their long swords shining in the sun. he thought to himself that he would like to be a soldier when he grew up.

When the captain gave the signal, the soldier stood in long line on the beach and waited for the swordfish to attack. Soon the swordfish came leaping and flying across the water. Wave after wave of then came. They noses, and many soldiers died.

Suddenly the little boy saw the raja sitting sadly beneath a tree. He ran to raja and said. “Please, Sir. I think I know how to stop the swordfish.”

“Do you. Indeed, little boy?” said the raja looking to cut at the boy’s bare feet and ragged clothes.

“Yes, Sir,” the boy said. “Tell the soldiers to take those banana trees over there. Then tie the trees together to make a wall to stop the fish.”

“That’s a wonderful idea,” said the raja. He turned to his captain. “Why didn’t you think of that, Captain? Tell your men to start at once.”

The captain looked angrily at the little boy before he told his men what to so. The soldiers cut the banana trees and tied them together with strong ropes. They used more ropes to pull the wall to the edge of the water. This time, when the swordfish came, they flew out of the water and their swords stuck in the wall of banana trees. They couldn’t move, and so it was easy for the soldiers to kill them.

“Well done, men.” Said the raja to the soldiers. “And thank you, little boy,” he said to the boy.

The little boy bowed to the raja and ran back to his home on the hill by the sea. The raja thoughtfully watched him go. That’s very clever child,” he said to the captain.

The captain was still angry because the boy had made him look stupid. “Perhaps, Sir, he is too clever. Clever little boy can grow into dangerous man.”

The raja thought about this, and the more he thought the more he worried. A few days later the captain came to see him again.

“Sir” he said. “I am worried about that little boy. He is too clever. Some day, he will make a lot of trouble for us.”

“You are right, Captain,” said the raja. “I think we should stop him now, before it’s too late.”

“Good,” said the captain. “I’ll take care of it tonight.”

That night the captain and some of his soldiers climbed the hill where the little boy lived. They quietly went into his house and killed him with their swords.

The little boy’s blood ran freely down the hill. Soon the whole hill had turned red, and it is red to this every day. When the people heard what raja’s captain had done, they named this place Redhill. And even now, they remember the story of the clever little boy who stopped the swordfish.

Legenda Redhill

Dahulu kala, ada banyak ikan todak di laut dekat Singapura. Ikan todak ini menyebabkan banyak masalah. Mereka terbang ke perahu dan terkadang membunuh nelayan. Jumlah ikan todak ini sangat banyak sehingga raja memutuskan untuk membunuh mereka.

Jadi, raja membawa pasukannya ke laut untuk melawan ikan todak. Banyak orang datang untuk menonton pertempuran, dan di antara mereka ada seorang anak laki-laki yang sangat pintar. Anak laki-laki itu memperhatikan prajurit berseragam, pedang panjang mereka bersinar di bawah sinar matahari. Dia berpikir dalam hati bahwa dia ingin menjadi seorang prajurit saat dia dewasa.

Ketika kapten memberi sinyal, prajurit itu berdiri dalam barisan panjang di pantai dan menunggu ikan todak menyerang. Tak lama kemudian, ikan todak itu melompat dan terbang melintasi air. Gelombang demi gelombang datang. Mereka berhamburan, dan banyak prajurit tewas.

Tiba-tiba anak laki-laki itu melihat raja duduk dengan sedih di bawah pohon. Dia berlari ke raja dan berkata. “Tolong, Tuan. Saya rasa saya tahu cara menghentikan ikan todak.”

“Benarkah? Betul, anak laki-laki?” kata raja sambil berusaha mencabik kaki telanjang dan pakaian compang-camping anak laki-laki itu.

“Baik, Tuan,” kata anak laki-laki itu. “Beritahu para prajurit untuk membawa pohon-pohon pisang itu ke sana. Lalu ikat pohon-pohon itu menjadi satu untuk membuat tembok agar ikan tidak masuk.”

“Itu ide yang bagus,” kata raja. Ia menoleh ke kaptennya. “Mengapa kau tidak memikirkannya, Kapten? Suruh anak buahmu untuk segera mulai.”

Kapten itu menatap marah ke arah anak buahnya sebelum ia memberi tahu anak buahnya apa yang harus dilakukan. Para prajurit menebang pohon-pohon pisang dan mengikatnya dengan tali yang kuat. Mereka menggunakan lebih banyak tali untuk menarik tembok ke tepi air. Kali ini, ketika ikan todak datang, mereka terbang keluar dari air dan pedang mereka tertancap di dinding pohon pisang. Mereka tidak bisa bergerak, sehingga mudah bagi para prajurit untuk membunuh mereka.

“Bagus sekali, teman-teman.” Kata raja kepada para prajurit. “Dan terima kasih, anak kecil,” katanya kepada anak laki-laki itu.

Anak laki-laki itu membungkuk kepada raja dan berlari kembali ke rumahnya di bukit di tepi laut. Raja dengan penuh perhatian memperhatikan kepergiannya. “Anak yang sangat pintar,” katanya kepada sang kapten. Sang kapten masih marah karena anak itu telah membuatnya terlihat bodoh. “Mungkin, Tuan, dia terlalu pintar. Anak kecil yang pintar bisa tumbuh menjadi orang yang berbahaya.” Sang raja memikirkan hal ini, dan semakin dia memikirkannya semakin dia khawatir. Beberapa hari kemudian sang kapten datang menemuinya lagi. “Tuan,” katanya. “Saya khawatir tentang anak kecil itu. Dia terlalu pintar. Suatu hari, dia akan membuat banyak masalah bagi kita.”

“Anda benar, Kapten,” kata raja. “Saya pikir kita harus menghentikannya sekarang, sebelum terlambat.”

“Bagus,” kata sang kapten. “Saya akan mengurusnya malam ini.”

Malam itu sang kapten dan beberapa prajuritnya mendaki bukit tempat tinggal anak laki-laki kecil itu. Mereka diam-diam masuk ke rumahnya dan membunuhnya dengan pedang mereka.

Darah anak laki-laki itu mengalir deras menuruni bukit. Tak lama kemudian seluruh bukit berubah menjadi merah, dan merah terus setiap hari. Ketika orang-orang mendengar apa yang telah dilakukan kapten raja, mereka menamai tempat ini Bukit Merah. Dan bahkan sekarang, mereka ingat kisah anak laki-laki kecil yang pintar yang menghentikan ikan todak.
