In a village in ancient times, in Indonesia, there lived a mother named Mak Janda who lived with her two daughters. Her two daughters named Bawang Merah and Bawang Putih. Bawang Merah is her biological child, while Bawang Putih is her stepdaughter.
Because Bawang Merah is its biological child, Bawang Merah is always spoiled. She can't work by her mother, she only pamper herself. Whereas Bawang Putih was told to become a worker to complete all homework.
One day, Bawang Putih was washing clothes in the river. Without realizing it, Bawang Merah's favorite clothes were washed away in the river. The incident made Bawang Merah and her mother angry.
Mak Janda barked at Bawang Putih "You have to find my daughter's favorite clothes again, if you can't, you can't go back home!" the stepmother snapped.
Bawang Putih finally looked for Bawang Merah's clothes in the river, but she hasn't found it yet. Bawang Putih looked for the clothes while sobbing, she was very hungry. She has not been allowed by her mother to eat from this morning.
Until one day, Bawang Putih met a granny who was washing at the river. The granny asked the Bawang Putih "why are you crying, young girl?".
Bawang Putih finally recounted the incident that she experienced. The granny said "I found the clothes, come to my house". Finally Bawang Putih followed the grannyto her house.
At the granny's house, how shocked was Bawang Putih, because her granny's house was filled with furniture made from animal bones. It turns out that the granny is the incarnation of a green giant. However, for the sake of wanting to get back the clothes belonging to Bawang Merah, Bawang Putih finally showed no fear. She actually helps the granny's homework, such as cleaning the house, cooking, and sweeping.
The time is already late. The granny thanked Bawang Putih because Bawang Putih had been diligent in helping with the housework. "You are a diligent child. This is the shirt you are looking for, take it. As my gratitude, you give me a gift, "said the granny.
The gift given by the granny is a pumpkin. Bawang Putih brought pumpkin and Bawang Merah clothes to her house. Arriving at home, Bawang Putih hands onion onions and a pumpkin. When the pumpkin was split by Mak Janda, it turned out that the contents inside were gold gems. Mak Janda and Bawang Merah are happy because they have become rich.
The wealth that he got turned out to bring greed for Mak Janda and Bawang Merah. Bawang Merah finally tried to wash clothes on the river and deliberately washed their clothes into the river.
Shallots finally followed the river. She met a granny who was washing in the river. Bawang Merah asked the granny, "Madam, did my clothes that were washed away be found by you?"
The granny answered "yes, your clothes were found by me. Come with me to the house ".
Arriving at the granny's house. How surprised Shallots. Because the granny's house was filled with furniture from animal bones. Even onion does not help the grandmother's homework.
Finally, the granny gave the drifting red onion shirt and told her to go home. The granny gave a huge pumpkin as a souvenir.
Bawang Merah finally returned home happily, because she brought a pumpkin bigger than what was brought by Bawang Putih. Mak Janda and Bawang Merah can't wait to open the big pumpkin. They imagined how rich they would be if they found the gold jewel in the large pumpkin. However, how shocked Mak Janda and Bawang Merah, It turns out that the contents of the pumpkin are very large snakes. they finally died pecked at the snakes.
