Dongeng Bahasa Inggris tentang Jaka Tarub dan 7 Bidadari, Selamat Membaca :

Once upon a time there
was a widow who lived in
the village of Dadapan.
She had a son whose
name was Joko Tarup.
Dadapan village was
close to a wood so Joko
Tarup liked to go to the
wood. He liked hunting
for animals with his
blowpipe.
One day when he was in
the wood he saw a
beautiful rainbow and he
saw seven angels went
down through it. He
came closer and
searched for them. The
seven angels were
swimming and taking a
bath in a lake. Joko
Tarup looked at them
while hiding behind
trees. When they had
finished taking a bath,
they flew through the
rainbow to heaven.
The next day he saw the
same thing again. This
time Joko Tarup had an
idea. He searched for
their dress and when he
found them he took one
of them. As they had
finished swimming and
taking a bath, they
looked for their dress.
One of them could not
find her dress. Her
friends had to come back
to heaven so they left
her. She was crying
while staying in the
water. Joko Tarup
approached her.
‘Why are you crying
lady?’
‘I lose my dress so I
cannot go home’
‘Where is your home?’
‘I live in heaven. I’m an
angel. My name is
Nawang Wulan. But I
lose my dress so I cannot
fly anymore’
‘I you don’t mind I will
take my mother’s dress
for you’
‘OK, please do’
‘Wait for me here, I’ll be
back’
Then Joko Tarup went
home to take her
mother’s dress and gave
it to Nawang Wulan. He
asked her to stay at her
house with his mother.
Not long after that Joko
Tarup married Nawang
Wulan.
As an angel Nawang
Wulan had spiritual
power. She had ability
which far above human
being. She could cook
rice with just a bar of
rice and when it had
done the bowl will be full
of rice. But there was
one condition. The bowl
must not be opened
before it has done. Joko
Tarup was very surprised
with her wife’s ability.
He was very curious
about it. So when
Nawang Wulan was away
he opened the bowl.
Consequently Nawang’s
spiritual power
disappeared. She had to
cook as ordinary human
being.
Several months later
Nawang Wulan gave
birth to a beautiful baby
girl. Her name was
Nawang Sih. The birth of
Nawang Sih added
happiness to Joko Tarup
and Nawang Wulan.
Since Nawang Wulan
could not cook efficiently
anymore, she needed
more rice than usual.
The stock of rice in their
store room diminished
rapidly. Then one day
when she took rice there
she was very surprised.
Nawang Wulan found her
angel dress. It was
hidden there under piles
of rice. She immediately
wore it and talked to
Joko Tarup.
‘My dear husband, now I
know what you did to
me’
‘Forgive me, my dear. I
admit that I did this
because I love you’
‘I love you too. But now I
find my dress. I must
come back to heaven. I
am an angel. My place is
not here. I have to go
now’.
‘How about Nawang Sih?
She needs you’
‘I will leave her but don’t
worry. I will take care of
her. Anytime she needs
me I will be here. For
that purpose please build
a tower. When Nawang
Sih cries put her there
then call my name. I will
come immediately. But I
will be invisible to you.
Good bye dear’
Then Joko Tarup built a
tower behind his house.
Every time Nawang Sih
cried he would put her
there. Nawang Wulan
would come and take
care of Nawang Sih.
