my hut”. The little girl wanted to help her, and said,”May I help you?”. The grandma nodded and
said, “Of course, can you accompany me to my hut?”. She answered, “With pleasure”.

 POHON AJAIB

Orientasi

Suatu ketika ada seorang gadis kecil dengan ibu tirinya tinggal di desa kecil. Ayahnya meninggal
setelah beliau menikah dengan ibu tirinya. Dia sedih karena ibu tirinya bersikap kasar
kepadanya. Ibu tirinya selalu menyuruhnya untuk melakukan apa yang diinginkan ibu tirinya
seperti menyapu, mencuci pakaian, dll.

Komplikasi

Suatu hari ibu tirinya marah padanya. Dia berkata, "Kamu selalu membuatku kesal, dan tidak
pernah membantuku!". Kemudian gadis kecil itu pergi ke hutan dan dia bertemu dengan seorang
nenek yang membawakan kayu bakar. Kemudian, gadis kecil itu bertanya kepada nenek,
"Kemana nenek akan pergi?". Lalu nenek itu berkata, “Aku akan pergi ke gubukku”. Gadis kecil
itu ingin membantunya, dan berkata, "Ada yang bisa saya bantu?". Nenek mengangguk dan
berkata, "Tentu saja, bisakah kamu menemaniku ke gubukku?". Gadis kecil menjawab, “Dengan
senang hati”.

Mereka sampai di gubuk, sang nenek bertanya, “Kamu mau apa kesini? Itu terlalu berbahaya
untukmu”. Gadis kecil itu berkata, “Ehm.. jadi, semuanya baik-baik saja. Aku hanya bosan
tinggal di rumah”. Lalu nenek itu pergi ke dapur, dan membawa buah yang besar, dan berkata,
“Bawa ini, dan tanamlah. Buah ini bisa membuat hidupmu lebih mudah”.

Pertama-tama dia bingung lalu dia mengangguk. Nenek berkata, “Kamu harus pergi sekarang,
atau ibumu akan khawatir”. Gadis kecil itu terlihat sedih dan dia berkata, “Terima kasih. Aku
akan segera pergi ke rumahku. Terima kasih banyak". Gadis kecil itu tiba di rumah dan dia
memakan buah itu dan menanamnya di samping rumahnya. Pohon itu tumbuh lebih cepat dari
tanaman lain. Sebulan kemudian, ibunya jatuh sakit. Ibunya terkena penyakit kulit.

Gadis kecil itu merawatnya. Ketika dia tidur, nenek yang memberi buah besar datang dan
mengatakan sesuatu, “Kamu harus mencampur beberapa daun dari pohon itu. Maka ibumu harus
meminumnya”. Tiba-tiba nenek itu menghilang, lalu dia bangun, dan minum air.

Resolusi

Dia mencampur beberapa daun dan memberikannya kepada ibu tirinya, “Minumlah air ini ibu,
ibu akan lebih baik setelah meminum ini”. Ibu tirinya berkata, “Tidak, saya tidak akan
meminumnya, kamu akan membuat saya mati segera jika saya meminumnya”.

Gadis kecil itu berkata, “Tidak ibu, aku membuatnya karena aku peduli padamu. Aku tidak akan
membuat racun, aku peduli padamu”. Ibu tiri menangis dan meminumnya.

Setelah itu, dia berkata, “Terima kasih banyak, kamu selalu membantuku. Aku selalu marah
padamu setelah ayahmu meninggal”. Gadis kecil itu berkata, “Sama-sama, saya akan
menghormati Anda sebagai orang yang merawat saya dan ayah saya”. Keduanya menangis, dan
ibu tirinya pulih saat itu. Keduanya hidup bersama.

Gadis kecil dan ibu tirinya hidup bahagia bersama, dan banyak orang datang hanya untuk
membawa beberapa daun dari pohon ajaib. Keduanya tidak pernah meminta uang kepada orang
lain, karena mereka percaya pada kekuatan memberi.
