Lutung Kasarung – The Magic Monkey Prince



Once upon a time, in the kingdom of Pasir Batang, there lived a wise king who had seven beautiful daughters. The youngest, Princess Purbasari, was kind and gentle. Her older sister, Purbararang, was jealous of her beauty and kindness. One day, when the king left the palace, Purbararang accused Purbasari of doing evil magic and sent her away to the forest.

In the forest, Purbasari met a magical monkey named Lutung Kasarung. He helped her survive and built a beautiful place for her to live. Every day, Lutung brought her food and took care of her. Slowly, Purbasari became happy again. She didn’t know that Lutung was actually a cursed prince with magical powers.




One day, Purbararang came to the forest and challenged Purbasari to prove who was more beautiful and worthy to become queen. With the help of Lutung’s magic, Purbasari’s skin became clear and her beauty shined. Purbararang was shocked and furious. She also challenged Purbasari to choose a better fiancé. Purbasari chose Lutung Kasarung.



Suddenly, Lutung Kasarung transformed into a handsome prince. Everyone was amazed. It turned out he was a heavenly prince sent to help Purbasari. Purbasari became queen, and she ruled the kingdom with kindness. Purbararang regretted her actions. The people of Pasir Batang lived happily ever after under Purbasari’s rule.





Narrative text is like a journey 🚀 — it takes us to magical worlds 🏰, introduces us to interesting characters 👑🧙‍♂️, and lets us feel all kinds of emotions 💖😢😡. Whether it’s a fairy tale, a legend, or just a simple life story, narrative texts always have a beginning, middle, and end 📖. They often include a conflict and a resolution, making the story meaningful and fun to follow 🎭.

In the end, narrative text isn’t just about reading — it’s about feeling the story 💭. It helps us learn new words 🧠, spark our imagination 🌈, and understand how stories work. And honestly, who doesn’t love a good story, right? 😉 So keep reading, keep writing, and let your creativity run wild like a hero on an epic quest! 🏃‍♀️🗺️📝
