THREE FISH
Three fish lived in a pond. One evening, some fishermen passed by the pond and saw the
fish. ‘This pond is full of fish’, they told each other excitedly. ‘we have never fished here before.
We must come back tomorrow morning with our nets and catch these fish!’ So saying, the
fishermen left.
 When the eldest of the three fish heard this, he was troubled. He called the other fish
together and said, ‘Did you hear what the fishermen said? We must leave this pond at once. The
fishermen will return tomorrow and kill us all!’ The second of the three fish agreed. ‘You are
right’, he said. ‘We must leave the pond.’
But the youngest fish laughed. ‘You are worrying without reason’, he said. ‘We have
lived in this pond all our lives, and no fisherman has ever come here. Why should these men
return? I am not going anywhere – my luck will keep me safe’.
The eldest of the fish left the pond that very evening with his entire family. The second
fish saw the fishermen coming in the distance early next morning and left the pond at once with
all his family. The third fish refused to leave even then. The fishermen arrived and caught all the
fish left in the pond. The third fish’s luck did not help him – he was caught and killed.

asked his youngest son to try and break the bundle, but he could not. Then he asked the rest to
try. One by one, each of them tried, but filed.
Then the old man untied the bundle and asked his sons to try again. They broke the sticks
at once. Now came the time to teach them their lesson. “My sons,” he said, “learn a lesson from
these sticks. You could not break them as long as they were bound together, but the moment

Contoh Narrative Text

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 everytime 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 laid 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 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 friends 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 friends."

Moral of the story: a true friend in need is a friend indeed.
