Contoh Narrative Text Singkat dan
Terjemahannya – True Friends
teraspuisi.com
Berikut ini merupakan contoh narrative text yang sangat
menyentuh hati, judulnya adalah True Friends.

True Friends
Once upon a time, there were two close friends who were walking
through the forest together. They knew that anything dangerous
can happen any time in the forest. So they promised each other
that they would always be together in any case of danger.

Suddenly, they saw a large bear getting closer toward them. One
of them climbed a nearby tree at once. But unfortunately the
other one did not know how to climb up the tree. So being led by
his common sense, he lay down on the ground breathless and
pretended to be a dead man.
The bear came near the one who was lying on the ground. It smelt
in his ears, and slowly left the place because the bears do not
want to touch the dead creatures. After that, the friend on the tree
came down and asked his friend that was on the ground, “Friend,
what did the bear whisper into your ears?” The other friend
replied, “Just now the bear advised me not to believe a false
friend”.

Moral of the Story – A true friend in need is a friend indeed.

 

Teman Sejati
Pada suatu hari di masa lau, ada dua orang berteman dekat yang
berjalan melewati hutan bersama-sama. Mereka tahu bahwa di
hutan bisa saja terjadi sesuatu yang berbahaya setiap saat. Oleh
karena itu, dari awal mereka saling berjanji bahwa mereka akan
selalu bersama-sama meski dalam keadaan bahaya sekalipun.

Tiba-tiba, mereka melihat ada beruang besar yang semakin

mendekat ke arah mereka. Kemudian seketika salah satu dari
mereka memanjat pohon terdekat. Tetapi sayangnya teman yang
satu lagi tidak tahu bagaimana caranya memanjat pohon. Jadi dia
hanya terdorong oleh akal sehatnya, kemudian ia berbaring di
tanah, menahan napasnya, dan berpura-pura menjadi orang yang
sudah mati.

Kemudian beruang itu datang dan mendekati orang yang sedang

berbaring di tanah tersebut. Beruang itu pun mencium-cium
telinganya, dan perlahan-lahan meninggalkan tempat tersebut
karena beruang tidak mau menyentuh makhluk yang sudah mati.
Setelah itu, temannya yang di pohon turun ke bawah dan
bertanya kepada temannya yang berbaring di tanah itu, “Teman,
apa yang beruang bisikkan ke telingamu?”, si temannya itu
menjawab, “Tadi beruang itu mengatakan kepada saya untuk
tidak percaya terhadap teman palsu”.

Pesan Moral dari cerita: Seorang teman sejati yang kita

butuhkan adalah teman yang sebenarnya.

Fox and A Cat

One day, a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who
was a conceited creature, boasted how clever she was. “Why, I
know at least a hundred tricks to get away from our mutual
enemies, the dogs,” she said.

“I know only one trick to get away from dogs,” said the cat. “You
should teach me some of yours!”.

“Well, maybe someday, when I have the time, I may teach you a
few of the simpler ones”, replied the fox airily.

Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance.
The barking grew louder and louder – the dogs were coming in
their direction! At once the cat ran to the nearest tree and
climbed into its branches, well out of reach of any dog. “This is the
trick I told you about, the only one I know”, said the cat. “Which
one of your hundred tricks are you going to use?”.
The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she
should use. Before she could make up her mind, the dogs arrived.
They fell upon the fox and tore her to pieces.

Moral: A single plan that works is better than a hundred doubtful

plans.
 

Rubah dan Seekor Kucing

Suatu hari, kucing dan rubah sedang mengobrol dengan asiknya.
Rubah adalah makhluk yang sombong, membual tentang betapa
pintarnya dia. “Kenapa, setidaknya aku tahu seratus trik untuk
menjauhi musuh kita bersama, anjing”, katanya.

“Saya hanya tahu satu trik untuk menjauh dari anjing”, kata si
kucing. “Kamu harus mengajariku beberapa trik mu!”.

“Baiklah, mungkin suatu hari nanti, ketika aku punya waktu, aku
bisa mengajarimu beberapa trik yang sederhana”, jawab si rubah
dengan santai.

Sesaat kemudian, mereka mendengar gonggongan sekawanan

anjing dari kejauhan, gonggongan tersebut semakin keras, anjing
pun datang menuju ke arah mereka! Seketika si kucing berlari ke
pohon yang paling dekat dan kemudian naik ke cabang-
cabangnya, dan di luar jangkauan anjing. “Ini adalah trik yang aku
katakan tadi, satu-satunya yang aku tahu”, kata si kucing. “Mana
salah satu dari seratus trikmu yang akan kamu gunakan?”.

Rubah pun duduk diam di bawah pohon, membayangkan trik apa

yang harus dia lakukan. Sebelum dia bisa mengambil keputusan,
kemudian anjing tiba dan menyergap rubah serta mencabik-
cabiknya.

Pesan Moral: Satu rencana yang dilakukan akan lebih baik

daripada seratus rencana yang masih diragukan.

One hot day, an ant was seeking for some water. After walking
around for a moment, she came to a spring. To reach the spring,
she had to climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up,
she slipped and fell unintentionally into the water.

She could have sunk if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her.
Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly put off a leaf
from a tree and dropped it immediately into the water near the
struggling ant. Then the ant moved towards the leaf and climbed
up there. Soon it carried her safely to dry ground.

Not long after at that, there was a hunter nearby who was
throwing out his net towards the dove, hoping to trap it in this
way.

Guessing what he should do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel.
Feeling the pain, the hunter dropped his net and the dove flew
away quickly from this net.

The morality: One good turn deserves another.

 

Semut dan Merpati

Suatu hari yang panas, seekor semut sedang mencari air. Setelah
beberapa saat berkeliling, dia sampai ke sebuah mata air. Untuk
mencapai mata air itu, dia harus memanjat rumput terlebih
dahulu. Saat dia memanjat ke atas, dia terpeleset dan secara tidak
sengaja jatuh ke dalam air.

Dia mungkin bisa saja tenggelam jika burung merpati yang

sedang di atas pohon di dekatnya itu tidak melihatnya. Karena
melihat si semut sedang dalam kesulitan, burung merpati pun
cepat memetik daun dari pohon dan langsung menjatuhkannya
ke dalam air dekat si semut yang mencoba menyelamatkan diri
itu. Kemudian si semut pun bergerak menuju daun dan kemudian
naik ke atasnya. Daun itu membawanya ke darat dengan selamat.
Tidak lama kemudian, ada seorang pemburu yang membuang
jaring ke arah burung merpati, berharap dengan cara ini bisa
menjebak si burung merpati.

Berpikir sejenak tentang apa yang harus dia lakukan, kemudian

semut cepat menggigit tumit orang tersebut. Karena merasa sakit,
si pemburu akhirnya menjatuhkan jaringnya dan kemudian
burung merpati terbang keluar dari jaring tersebut dengan cepat.

Pesan Moral: Satu perbuatan baik layak mendapat kebaikan yang

lain.

As the time went by, finally a queen gave birth of a very pretty
princess whose skin was as white as snow and whose lips were as
red as blood. The queen grew up as a very pretty and kind-
hearted girl. She was called Snow White. However, when Snow
White was about teenager, the queen died because of an illness.
After the queen’s death, the king married again.  This new queen
was wicked and hated Snow white.  The queen gave orders that
Snow White was to be treated as a servant.

Everyday the queen stood in front of her magic mirror while

asking “Who is the most beautiful woman in the land?” and the
mirror always answered, “You are the most beautiful one of all.”
The new queen asked the same question everyday and the mirror
always answered the same thing. But one day the mirror answered
that the queen was so beautiful but Snow White was much more
beautiful than the queen. It made the queen so angry that she
gave orders to one of her Huntsmen to take Snow White into the
woods and kill her.

The Huntsman had such a kind heart that he couldn’t do the

deed. He told her to run away.  In her fleeing into the woods, she
found a place in which seven dwarfs lived.  Their house was small
and strange. Snow White entered the little house and found it
very untidy. Then, she started to clean up the entire house. In the
upstairs she found seven little beds.  She was so exhausted that
she stretched out on one of the beds. Not long after that, she was
asleep on the bed.

When the Dwarfs came home they were surprised to find Snow
White and after some argument, decided to let her stay.  She
promised to cook and look after them. She lived there together
happily.

Unfortunately, The Queen discovered the place where Snow White

was living and disguising herself as a witch. She then took a
poisoned apple and set out for the Dwarfs cottage.  She gave
Snow White the poisoned apple to eat and as soon as she bit the
apple, she sank into unconsciousness.

Thinking she was dead, the Dwarfs built a glass coffin and put her
in it. For days she lay in the forest in her glass coffin.  One day, the
Prince was riding through the forest looking for Snow White and
found her.  He leaned over and kissed her. She opened her eyes
and sat up with a smile. Everyone was happy at that time.  The
Prince took Snow White to his palace where they were married
and lived happily ever after.
 

Putri Salju
Pada suatu hari, ada seorang Ratu yang sedang duduk di balik
jendela yang sangat indah sambil menjahit dan melihat salju yang
turun. Secara tidak sengaja, jarinya tertusuk oleh jarum jahit
hingga mengeluarkan tiga tetes darah dari jarinya. Darah tersebut
jatuh di atas salju, dan warna merah pun menempel di atas salju
yang putih, sehingga terlihat sangat cantik. Ratu pun berpikir
“’Andai saja aku punya anak dengan kulit seputih salju dan bibir
semerah darah”.

Beberapa waktu kemudian, akhirnya Ratu pun melahirkan seorang

Putri yang sangat cantik jelita yang memiliki kulit seputih salju dan
bibir merah semerah darah. Sang putri pun tumbuh menjadi gadis
yang sangat cantik dan juga baik hati. Ia kemudian dipanggil
dengan nama Putri Salju. Namun, ketika Putri Salju tumbuh
menjadi gadis remaja, Sang Ratu meninggal karena mempunyai
penyakit. Setelah Sang Ratu meninggal, Sang Raja pun menikah
lagi. Ratu baru yang ini sangat jahat dan sangat benci kepada
Putri Salju. Sang Ratu memberi perintah agar Putri Salju
diperlakukan sebagai seorang pembantu.

Setiap hari Sang Ratu berdiri di depan cermin ajaib sambil

bertanya “Siapa wanita paling cantik di negeri ini?” dan cermin
ajaib itupun selalu menjawab “Anda adalah yang paling cantik di
antara semuanya”. Sang Ratu yang baru itu mengajukan
pertanyaan yang sama setiap hari dan si cermin pun selalu
menjawab dengan jawaban yang sama. Tapi suatu hari cermin
menjawab bahwa Ratu itu sangat cantik tetapi Putri Salju jauh
lebih cantik dari Sang Ratu. Hal itu membuat Sang Ratu begitu
marah sehingga ia memerintahkan salah satu pemburu untuk
membawa Putri Salju ke hutan dan langsung membunuhnya.

Ternyata sang pemburu adalah seseorang yang baik hati sehingga

ia tidak bisa melakukan perbuatan tersebut. Ia menyarankan
kepada Sang Putri Salju untuk kabur. Dalam pelariannya ke hutan,
ia menemukan tempat di mana terdapat tujuh kurcaci tinggal.
Tempat tinggal mereka sangat kecil dan aneh. Sang Putri Salju
memasuki rumah kecil tersebut dan tempat itu begitu berantakan.
Kemudian, ia mulai membersihkan seluruh rumah itu. Di lantai
atas ia menemukan tujuh tempat tidur kecil-kecil. Ia begitu letih
sehingga ia pun berbaring di salah satu tempat tidur tersebut.
Tidak lama setelah itu, ia pun tertidur di tempat tidur itu.

Ketika Kurcaci pulang, mereka terkejut menemukan Putri Salju,

dan setelah berdialog, mereka memutuskan untuk membiarkan ia
tinggal di sana. Dia berjanji untuk memasak dan merawat mereka.
Ia tinggal bersama di sana dengan bahagia.

Sayangnya, Sang Ratu menemukan tempat di mana Putri Salju

tinggal dan kemudian dirinya menyamar menjadi seorang
penyihir. Kemudian ia mengambil apel beracun dan pergi ke
rumah Sang Kurcaci. Dia memberikan apel beracun tersebut
kepada Putri Salju untuk dimakannya. Seketika setelah Putri Salju
menggigit apel beracun tersebut, ia kemudian jatuh pingsan.

Kurcaci berpikir bahwa Putri Salju sudah mati, kurcaci pun

membuat peti mati kaca dan menempatkan dia di dalamnya.
Selama berhari-hari ia terbaring di dalam peti kaca di hutan. Suatu
hari, seorang pangeran berkelana ke hutan mencari Putri Salju
dan menemukannya. Dia membungkuk dan menciumnya. Dia
membuka matanya dan duduk dengan tersenyum. Semua orang
bahagia pada waktu itu. Pangeran membawa Putri Salju ke
istananya di mana mereka menikah dan hidup bahagia selamanya.

Pesan moral: Iri dengki hanya akan membawa malapetaka di

masa yang akan datang. Sedangkan orang yang baik akan
mendapatkan kebahagiaan dan rasa hormat dari orang-orang
disekelilingnya.

Emas. The farmers were happy. Timun Emas was very healthy and
a very smart girl. She was also very diligent. When she was a
teenager Buta Ijo came to their house. Timun Emas was frightened

Emas was still a child. They asked him to postpone. Buta Ijo
agreed. He promised to come again. The following year Buta Ijo

Emas was still a child.

Buta Ijo arrived she was far from home. He was very angry when
he realized that his prey had left. So he ran to chase her. He had a
sharp nose so he knew what direction his prey ran.

Timun Emas was just a girl while Buta Ijo was a monster so he
could easily catch her up. When he was just several steps behind
Timun Emas quickly spread the seeds of cucumber. In seconds
they turned into many vines of cucumber. The exhausted Buta Ijo
was very thirsty so he grabbed and ate them. When Buta Ijo was

again Timun Emas threw her dressing. This time it turned into a
lake. Buta Ijo was busy to save himself so Timun Emas ran way.
But Buta Ijo could overcome it and continued chasing her.

Finally when Timun Emas was almost caught she threw her salt.
Soon the land where Buta Ijo stood turned into ocean. Buta Ijo
was drowned and died instantly. Timun Emas was thankful to god
and came back to her home.

window. There, he was surprised to find Juliet on the balcony,
professing her love for him and wishing that he were not a

which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

Contoh Teks Narrative bahasa Inggris – Pinokio

Dahulu kala, ada seorang pembuat boneka kayu yang bernama
Geppetto. Dia ingin sekali mempunyai anak laki-laki, tetapi istrinya
sudah meninggal dunia beberapa tahun lalu. Suatu hari, ia
mendapat ide untuk membuat boneka agar tidak merasa
kesepian lagi. Dia kemudian membuat boneka kayu itu sepanjang
hari. Akhirnya, di pagi hari ia selesai membuatnya dan boneka itu
dia beri nama Pinocchio. Setelah itu, ia merasa kesepian lagi
karena Pinocchio tidak bisa berbicara bahkan berjalan sekali pun.
Suatu malam, Geppetto berdoa kepada Tuhan agar Pinnochio
menjadi seorang anak yang nyata. Dia selalu memikirkan hal itu
dalam pikirannya.

Keesokan harinya, ia terkejut karena Pinocchio ternyata hidup. Dia

kemudian mengajari Pinocchio bagaimana cara berjalan, cara
berbicara, cara membaca, dan cara melakukan hal-hal lain seperti
apa yang manusia biasa lakukan. Dia kemudian belajar di sebuah
sekolah dasar. Suatu hari, Pinocchio merasa bosan dan itu
membuatnya pulang terlambat. Ketika Pinocchio akhirnya pulang,
Geppetto bertanya. Dia bertanya bahwa ia berada di sekolah tapi
sebenarnya dia tidak di sekolah. Seketika, hidung Pinokio tumbuh
lebih panjang lagi dan lagi dan itu berarti bahwa Pinocchio
sedang berbohong.

Esok pagi, Pinocchio diculik oleh seorang pemain sirkus. Pinocchio

kemudian dijadikan budak untuk bermain sirkus. Dia begitu
terkenal karena ia adalah boneka yang bisa bicara. Geppetto pun
khawatir terhadap Pinnochio karena Pinocchio belum pulang
selama hampir dua hari lebih. Dia mencoba mencari Pinocchio
kemana-mana tapi ia tidak menemukannya. Ketika ia mencari
Pinnochio di laut, gelombang besar menghempaskan dirinya. Dia
kemudian berada di perut ikan paus, dan ketika ia terbangun, dia
tidak bisa menemukan cara untuk keluar dari perut ikan paus
tersebut.

Di sisi lain, akhirnya Pinocchio bisa kabur dan keluar dari sirkus itu.
Dia pulang ke rumah tapi ternyata di sana tidak ada siapa-siapa.
Akhirnya, ia mencari Geppetto ke laut. Dia mengalami kecelakaan
yang sama seperti apa yang dialami oleh Geppetto dan ia
akhirnya bertemu dengan Geppetto di dalam perut ikan paus.
Keduanya keluar dari perut tersebut dengan menyalakan api. Di

The Lion and The Mouse

When he was awakened by a tiny Mouse running across his body,
a mighty Lion was sleeping in his lair. The lion then grabbed the
frightened mouse with his huge paws and opened his mouth to
swallow him directly. “Please, King,” begged the Mouse, “Spare
me this time and of course I will never forget your kindness.
Someday I may be able to repay you. “The Lion thought that it
was such an amusing idea that he let the poor creature go.
Sometimes later the Lion was caught in a net laid by some
hunters. Despite his great strength, the Lion could not break free.
Soon the forest echoed with angry load roars.

The Little Mouse heard the Lion and ran to see what was wrong.
As soon as he succeeded to make the Lion free “There!” said the
Mouse proudly, ” You laughed at me when I promised to repay
your kindness, but now you know that even a tiny Mouse can help
a mighty Lion.”

Moral Value:
1. Little friends may prove to be great friends.

Singa dan Tikus

Pada saat ia terbangun oleh tikus kecil yang berjalan di tubuhnya,
singa perkasa itu sedang tertidur di sarangnya. Kemudian Singa
itu menangkap tikus yang sedang ketakutan dengan cakar besar
dan sekaligus membuka mulutnya untuk menelannya langsung.
“Tolong, Raja”, kata tikus, “Bebaskan saya kali ini dan tentu saja
saya tidak akan pernah melupakan kebaikan mu, suatu hari nanti
aku mungkin bisa membayar kebaikanmu ini”. Singa pun berpikir
bahwa itu adalah hal yang baik sehingga ia membiarkan makhluk
lemah itu pergi dari cengkeramannya.

Beberapa waktu kemudian singa itu terperangkap dalam jaring

yang diletakkan oleh beberapa pemburu. Meskipun memiliki
kekuatan yang besar, singa tersebut tetap tidak bisa
membebaskan dirinya. Kemudian hutan pun bergema dengan
auman singa yang sedang marah tersebut.
Tikus kecil mendengar auman singa tersebut dan kemudian
berlari untuk melihat apa yang sedang terjadi. Begitu si tikus kecil
berhasil membuat singa bebas, “Itulah!” kata tikus dengan
perasaan bangganya, “Engkau tertawa padaku saat aku berjanji
untuk membalas kebaikanmu, tetapi sekarang engkau tahu bahwa
meski hanya tikus kecil tapi bisa membantu singa yang perkasa
untuk bebas dari perangkap”.

Nilai moral:
1. Teman yang kecil atau lemah sekalipun bisa menjadi teman
yang sangat luar biasa.
2. Teman yang membutuhkan adalah arti dari teman yang
sebenarnya.
