Orientation

Once upon a time there lived a little girl named Snow White. She lived with her Aunt
and Uncle because her parents were dead.

(Suatu ketika, hiduplah seorang gadis bernama Snow White. Dia tinggal bersama
paman dan bibinya, karena orangtuanya telah meninggal.)

Complication 1

One day she heard her Uncle and Aunt talking about leaving Snow White in the castle
because they both wanted to go to America and they didnt have enough money to take
Snow White.

Snow White did not want her Uncle and Aunt to do this so she decided it would be best
if she ran away. The next morning she ran away from home when her Aunt and Uncle
were having breakfast. She ran away into the woods.

(Suatu hari dia mendengar paman dan bibinya berbicara tentang rencana
meninggalkan istana karena mereka berdua ingin pergi ke Ameria dan mereka tidak
mempunyai cukup uang untuk membawa serta Snow White.)

(Snow White tidak ingin paman dan bibinya melakukan hal tersebut, sehingga dia
memutuskan akan lebih baik jika dia pergi. Pagi harinya dia pergi dari rumah ketika
paman dan bibi nya sedang sarapan. Dia lari ke dalam hutan.)

Resolution 1

Then she saw this little cottage. She knocked but no one answered so she went inside
and fell asleep.


Meanwhile, the seven dwarfs were coming home from work. They went inside. There
they found Snow White sleeping. Then Snow White woke up. She saw the dwarfs. The
dwarfs said, what is your name? Snow White said, My name is Snow White.

Doc, one of the dwarfs, said, If you wish, you may live here with us. Snow White said,
Oh could I? Thank you. Then Snow White told the dwarfs the whole story and finally
Snow White and the 7 dwarfs lived happily ever after.

(Kemudian dia melihat gubuk kecil. Dia mengetuk pintu tetapi tidak ada yang
menjawab sehingga dia masuk dan merasa ngantuk.)

(Sementara itu, tujuh kurcaci telah pulang dari pekerjaannya. Mereka masuk. Di sana
mereka menemukan Snow White tertidur. Kemudian Snow White terbangun. Dia
melihat kurcaci tersebut. Kurcaci tersebut berkata "Siapa nama kamu?" Snow White
menjawab, "Nama saya Snow White.")

(Doc, salah satu dari kurcaci tersebut berkata, "Jika kamu mau, kamu bisa tinggal di
sini bersama kami." Snow White berkata, "Oh, bolehkah? Terima kasih." Kemudian
Snow White menceritakan semua kisahnya dan akhirnya Snow White dan 7 kurcaci
hidup bahagian selamanya.)

2. Three Fishes

Orientation
Once, three fishes lived in a pond. One evening, some fishermen passed by the pond and
saw the fishes. 'This pond is full of fish', they told each other excitedly. 'We have never
fished here before. We must come back tomorrow morning with our nets and catch
these fish!' Then the fishermen left.

(Suatu ketika, terdapatlah tiga ikan yang hidup di sebuah kolam. Di suatu sore,
beberapa nelayan melewati kolam tersebut dan melihat ikan-ikan itu. "Kolam ini
penuh dengan ikan", merka berbicara satu sama lian dengan bergairah. "Kita belum
pernah memancing di sini sebelumnya. Kita harus datang lagi besok pagi dengan
jaring kita dan manangkap ikan-ikan ini!" Kemudian nelayan-nelayan tersebut
pergi.)

Complication
When the eldest of the three fishes heard this, he was troubled. He called the other
fishes together and said, 'Did you hear what the fishermen said? We must leave this
pond at once. The fishermen will return tomorrow and kill us all!' The second of the
three fishes agreed. 'You are right', he said. 'We must leave the pond.'

(Ketika ikan yang paling tua mendengar ini, dia gelisah. Dia memanggil ikan-ikan
yang lain dan berkata, 'Apakah kamu dengar apa yang dikatakan nelayan itu? Kita
harus meninggalkan kolam ini. Nelayan itu akan kembali besok dan membunuh kita
semua!' Ikan kedua setuju. 'Kamu benar', dia berkata. 'Kita harus meninggalkan
kolam ini.')

But the youngest fish laughed. 'You are worrying without reason', he said. 'We have lived
in this pond all our lives, and no fisherman has ever come here. Why should these men
return? I am not going anywhere - my luck will keep me safe.'

(Tetapi ikan yang paling muda tertawa. 'Kamu cemas tanpa ada alasan', dia berkata.
'Kita telah tinggal di kolam ini semur hidup kita, dan tidak ada nelayan yang datang
kesini. Kenapa harus orang-orang itu kembali? Saya tidak akan pergi kemana-mana -
keberuntunganku akan menyelamatkan ku.')

Reslution
The eldest of the fishes left the pond that very evening with his entire family. The second
fish saw the fishermen coming in the distance early next morning and left the pond at
once with all his family. The third fish refused to leave even then.

(Ikan tertua meninggalkan kolam tersebut pada sora hari dengan seluruh
keluarganya. Ikan kedua melihat nelayan datang di kejauhan pada pagi hari dan
meninggalkan kolam tersebut dengan seluruh keluarganya. Ikan ketiga tetap menolak
untuk pergi.)

The fishermen arrived and caught all the fish left in the pond. The third fish's luck did
not help him - he too was caught and killed.

(Nelayan tersebut pun datang dan menangkap semua ikan yang tertinggal di kolam.
Keberuntungan ikan ketiga tidak menyelamatkannya - dia juga tertangkap dan
dibunuh.)

The fish who saw trouble ahead and acted before it arrived as well as the fish who acted
as soon as it came both survived. But the fish who relied only on luck and did nothing at
all died. So also in life.

(Ikan yang cemas dahulu dan bertindak sebelum nelayan datang dan ikan yang
tertindak ketika nelayan datang bershasil selamat. Tetapi ikan yang mempercayakan
hanya pada keberuntungan dan tidak berbuat apa-apa semuanya mati. Begitu juga
pada kehidupan.)
