Bahasa Inggris Kelas 6 MISD Bab 5

Folkatales ( Dongeng )

Hello everyone, Pada materi pelajaran bahasa Inggris kelas 6 kali ini akan
dibahas tentang Folk Tales (Dongeng). Mempelajari dongeng penting karena
dongeng memberikan kita banyak pelajaran tentang keidupan. Intinya, sebuah
dongeng pasti memberikan pesan moral bagi yang membacanya atau yang
mendengarkannya. Contoh dongeng yaitu, legenda suatu tempat, cerita tentang
binatang, cerita tentang peri dan yang lainnya.
Dongeng yang terkenal dari negara kita, Indonesia adalah Kancil dan
Buaya (Mouse deer and Crocodile). Kancil memiliki watak pintar tetapi licik
sehingga bisa berbohong kepada buaya untuk mewujudkan keinginannya.
Dongeng lain yang terkenal dari Arab yaitu kisah Alladin. Asal usul Alladin tidak
diketahui tetapi ceritanya menjadi menarik karena Aladin mempunyai lampu ajaib
yang bisa mengabulkan permintaan. Cerita dalam dongeng bisa jadi khayalan para
pembuatnya, artinya bcerita yang disajikan dalam dongeng bukan kisah nyata.

THE LEGEND OF TOBA LAKE

Once upon a time, there was a handsome man. His name was Batara Guru
Sahala. One day, he caught a fish. He was surprised to find that the fish could
talk. It begged Sahala to set it free.
As soon as the fish was free, it changed into a woman. She said that he
had to keep the secret that she was once a fish. Sahala promised that he would
not tell anyone about it.
They were married happily and had two daughters. One day, Sahala got

children went home and told their mother about it. Their mother was
