On the other place, under the three, a sly creature, Mr. Fox, who wanted the

cheese for himself, came up and spoke politely to her.

“Oh. Miss Crow, how beautiful you are! What a lovely beak, what lovely

feathers you have! What pretty eyes! If only you could sing, you would be the

most beautiful bird in the world!”

Very pleased to hear all of this about herself, Miss Crow gave a loud croak to

Of course, the moment she opened her beak, the cheese fell down, and Mr.

Fox ran away with it, laughing loudly.

Goldilocks And The Three Bears

Once there were three bears that lived in a house in the woods: a papa bear,

a mama bear, and a baby bear. One morning they decided to take a walk before

breakfast to let their porridge cool.

A little girl named Goldilocks lived with her mother nearby. Goldilocks took

a walk through the woods and found the bear’s house. She smelled the porridge

in the kitchen and went inside. Goldilocks tasted the porridge in each bowl and

nally ate up the porridge in the small bowl.

Pic. 8.6 (Dit. PSMP, 2006)

126

Then she sat on a big chair, but she didn’t like it, because it was hard.

Afterwards she sat on the small chair, and it was just right. But while she was

sitting on it she broke it. After eating the porridge, Goldilocks felt full and sleepy,

and then she went upstairs. There she found a small bed. She lay down on it and

fell asleep.

While she was sleeping, the three bears came home. When they went into the

kitchen, they got very surprised. Someone had tasted their porridge, even eaten

up baby bear’s porridge, while they were taking a walk. Moreover the poor baby

bear was upset when he found that his little chair broke into pieces. When they

went upstairs, they found out that Goldilocks was sleeping. Baby bear cried out,

“Someone has been sleeping in my bed and here she is!”

Goldilocks woke up when she saw the three bears; she jumped out of bed and

ran out of the house to her home. Never again did she make herself at home in

anyone else’s house.

The Chipmunk That Ran Away

Once upon a time, there was a nervous little chipmunk. She was always afraid

that something bad happened to her.

One day, she heard a little noise. It was really only an apple that fell to the ground.

But the little Chipmunk was afraid and said “The sky is falling in.” Then she ran

away as fast as she could go.

Soon she met an old brother Chipmunk, who asked, “Where are you running

to, little Chipmunk?”

And the little Chipmunk answered, “The sky is falling in, and I am running

away.”

“The sky is falling in?” said the old brother Chipmunk. And he told the story

to his brother chipmunk, until at last there were a hundred brother Chipmunks

shouting, ”The sky is falling in.”

Soon the larger animals heard what the Chipmunks were saying. The Deer,

127

Unit 8 - Long, Long Time Ago, There Was ...

the Sheep, the Pig, the Camel, the Tiger, and the Elephant began to say, “The sky

is falling in.”

Then the wise Lion heard all the noise and wanted to know what was

happening. He stopped all the animals and asked, “What are you saying?” The

brother Chipmunks said, “Oh we heard it from that little Chipmunk!” And the

Lion said, “Little Chipmunk, what made you say that the sky was falling in?”

And the little Chipmunk said, “I saw it there near the tree.”

“Well,” said the Lion, “Come with me and I will show you how something”.

“Now get on my back.” The Lion took her on his back, and asked the animals to

stay where they were until they returned. Then he showed the little Chipmunk

that the apple had fallen to the ground. This made the noise that had made her

afraid. The little Chipmunk said, “Oh, I see. The sky is not falling in.”

The Lion said, “Let’s go back and tell the other animals.”

So they went back. At last all the animals knew that the sky was not falling in.

(Source: Dit. PSMP, 2006)

Text 1 and Text 2 are narratives. Both texts have the same pattern. Both start

with the orientation, which shows the scene and introduces the participants. Then,

the complication tells the readers the crisis that arises. Finally, the resolution tells

the readers that the crisis is resolved for better or worse.

Activity 2

Study the pattern of the story below.

Snow White

Pattern of story

Once upon a time there lived a little girl

named Snow White. She lived with her Aunt and

Uncle because her parents were dead.

Orientation

sets the scene

and introduces the charac-

ters and what happened to

them.

128

Bahasa Inggris SMP Kelas IX

One day she heard her Uncle and Aunt

talking about leaving Snow White in the castle

because they both wanted to go to America and

they didn’t have enough money to take Snow

White.

Snow White did not want her Uncle and Aunt

to do this so she decided it would be best if she

ran away. The next morning she ran away from

home when her Aunt and Uncle were having

breakfast. She ran away into the woods.

Then she saw this little cottage. She knocked

but no one answered so she went inside and fell

asleep.

Meanwhile, the seven dwarfs were coming

home from work. They went inside. There they

found Snow White sleeping. Then Snow White

woke up. She saw the dwarfs. The dwarfs said,

“what is your name?” Snow White said, “My

name is Snow White.”

Complication

tells the

crisis that arises. In telling

the crisis, it starts by telling

when the problem begins

to occur. Then, it increases.

And

nally, it reaches the

climax.

Doc, one of the dwarfs, said, “If you wish, you

may live here with us.” Snow White said, “Oh

could I? Thank you.” Then Snow White told the

dwarfs the whole story, and Snow White and the

7 dwarfs lived happily ever after.

Resolution

tells the crisis

that is resolved for better

or worse

Now, analyse the two stories above, “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” and “The

Chipmunk that Ran Away”, based on the pattern of the story you just studied.

Put the parts of the stories in their right positions, orientation, complication, or

resolution.

Practice

Activity 1

When one wants to tell a story, he or she usually starts by using certain

expressions. These expressions indicate that he or she is about to tell a story by

introducing the setting of the story. Study the expressions in italics.

Once upon a time

there was a little girl called Goldilocks who lived in the

middle of a great forest with her mother and her father.

One day, just before the evening came

, the Lion felt very hungry.

129

Unit 8 - Long, Long Time Ago, There Was ...

There was once

a very greedy dog that just ate and ate.

Long, long time ago,

there was a little girl living with her stepmother and

stepsisters.

Pic. 8.7 (Dit. PSMP, 2006)

Activity 2

When we read or listen to a story, we sometimes

nd sentences using the

following special structure. Study the underlined parts of the sentences

below.

1. Once upon a time, when the fairies still liked to help good people, there was a

beautiful girl named Cinderella.

2. Sangkuriang became very angry when the woman refused his marriage

proposal.

3. Bandung Bondowoso cursed the lady to be the last statue when Roro Jongrang

failed to keep her words.

4. When Sangkuriang kicked the boat out, it then turned to be a mountain called

Tangkuban Parahu.

In the sentences above, the underlined part functions as the adverb clause of time,

and the rest is the main clause.

Here are other examples:

1. After he was kicked out from the palace, Ki Bumirejo built the town of

Kebumen.

2. Rapunzel

nally got married to the Prince after she reunited his father’s and

his uncle’s kingdoms.

3. Most Indonesian patriots were caught by the Dutch after they were trapped

by the colonialists.

4. Before I went to bed, my mother told me a story.

5. We had an examination before we

nished the chapter.

Summary

A. Narrative Text

When we tell a story, we use a narrative text. A narrative text consists of the

orientation, complication, and resolution.

B. Adverbial Clause

We use the adverb clauses to show the events in the past, which occurred before,

after or at the same time as other events. The adverb clauses are called the adverb

clauses of time.

• In the orientation, you tell the listeners or readers the characters, the place,

the time (if possible) and other things to make your readers understand the

story.

• In the complication, you tell the listeners or readers the problem that

happened in the story. Usually you should tell the steps starting from how

the problem arises up to the climax.

• Finally, in the resolution, you tell the listeners or readers the anti-climax

or the answer to the problem.

The Lost Caterpillar

Seven worms are walking happily. Their mother is leading them. They

have just had their breakfast on a big tree near a river.

“Come on, children. Let’s go home,” Mama Worm says.

Suddenly, a cricket says, “Your last child is ugly!” “Ugly?” asks Mama

Worm. Then she looks at the child. He is not the same as her other children.

“Hey, ugly!” she says, “You are not my child. Go away!”

The little brown worm walks away. He is very sad. When he is near a lake,

he looks into the water.

“Oh, how ugly I am,” he cries.

“You are not ugly,” says a voice. “Oh, I

nd you, my child.”

The worm looks around. There is a beautiful big butter

y and her

children. They all look the same as he.

“They may call you ugly,” says Butter

“But you are the most beautiful child in the world. One day, you will turn

William Shakespeare. 1564–1616

Sweet-and-Twenty

O MISTRESS mine, where are you roaming?

O, stay and hear! your true love ‘s coming,

That can sing both high and low:

Trip no further, pretty sweeting;

Journeys end in lovers meeting,

Every wise man

‛

s son doth know.

What is love? ‘tis not hereafter;

Present mirth hath present laughter;

What ‘s to come is still unsure:

In delay there lies no plenty;

Then come kiss me, sweet-and-twenty!

Youth ‘s a stuff will not endure.

Alice Meynell. 1850

The Lady of the Lambs

SHE walks—the lady of my delight—

A shepherdess of sheep.

Her

ocks are thoughts. She keeps them white;

She guards them from the steep.

She feeds them on the fragrant height,

And folds them in for sleep.

She roams maternal hills and bright,

Dark valleys safe and deep.

Her dreams are innocent at night;

The chastest stars may peep.

She walks—the lady of my delight—

A shepherdess of sheep.

She holds her little thoughts in sight,

Though gay they run and leap.

She is so circumspect and right;

139
