Once
upon a time, there were two sisters, Bawang and Kesuna, who lived with their
parents in a village. The two girls were very different. Bawang was lazy and
disobedient. She didn’t like working hard or helping her parents to do
anything. She was also envious person and a terrible liar. To the contrary,
Kesuna was a quiet, honest, and diligent girl. She did almost all the
household chores. In spite of her diligent her parents seemed to love Bawang
more for she was a great pretender and her parents believed whatever she
said.

Di sebuah desa hiduplah dua orang
bersaudara. Bawang dan Kesuna. Kedua bersaudara ini hidup bersama orang
tuanya. Bawang dan Kesuna mempunyai sifat yang jauh berbeda. Bawang adalah
seorang pemalas dan dan tidak suka bekerja keras. Ia juga seorang yang iri
hati dan suka memfitnah. Lain halnya dengan Kesuna. Ia pendiam, jujur, dan
rajin bekerja. Hampir semua pekerjaan rumah tangga dikerjakan olehnya.
Walaupun Kesuna rajin bekerja, kedua orang tuanya lebih sayang kepada Bawang,
karena Bawang pandai mencuri hati sehingga yang dikatakannya selalu dipercaya
oleh orang tuanya.
