No, I never heard this folktale before. Because when I was a little kid, usually I heard folktales fromIndonesia.

                 The begining,  when I was in the 6th grade at that time that I would continue in the       junior high school that my parents wanted me to go to. Thanks to the results of my exam at the time it was good enough that I got into a small group of bandung. My parents suggested that I attend bandung school because it was a very important character education there. During my schooling there I learned many lessons about manners such as respecting older ones, respecting others even how to make friends.At first I felt uneasy about attending the school my parents had chosen, not my choice, but for the time being I felt very fortunate to go to school at SMPN 4 in bandung, everything I had been through there was fun. Until finally now I was attending community service at bandung maybe my neighborhood is different from my junior high school.When I entered the neighborhood of bandung high school it was very difficult but because I was taught how to navigate a good social life when I was in middle school everything didn't seem so overwhelming. I am grateful that I now have many friends, though not as many as I did in junior high. I have six close friends of afifah, queen, lina,raissa,Haifa, and fatharani.My friends helped me to go through a study session at bandung high school that was so hard on my own. I once felt that I was the stupidest person to go to school there because at the time I got a score of 12 on physics. I felt terrible about it that I even cried, and then my mother told me that the purpose of school was not the result. The process that shapes me into good people is not for good results.Those who have always influenced my life are my parents and friends. They are those who are there and give during the time that I feel a goal is reached and still provide support and assistance when I am not feeling well.
thank you and I'm sorry if my use of English is wrong because I'm working.
