2. Contoh dan Struktur Teks

Orientation :

Long time ago on the top of Mount Kinabalu in Borneo, there lived a dragon. He owned a large and beautiful pearl. People believed that he controlled the weather with it.

Complication :

The emperor of China heard this and wanted the pearl. He sent his two sons. Wee Ping and Wee San to Borneo to steal it. The princes, together with one hundred soldiers, set sail for Borneo in twelve sailing junks.

When they arrived in Borneo they set out immediately to find the famous mountain. Their journey up the rugged stones of Mount Kinabalu proved very difficult. The dragon guarded his cave very fiercely and killed many of their soldiers. 

Then Wee San Had a clever idea. He climbed a tall tree, so he could see the dragon's cave. He noted what time the dragon left his cave to hunt for food and what time he returned to it.

Next he ordered his men to make a fake pearl and a large kite. He waited until the dragon left his cave. Then he placed the fake pearl in a bag, slung it across his shoulder and flew up to the mountain top on the kite. He exchanged the real pearl in a bag, slung it across his shoulder and flew up to the mountain-top on the kite. He exchanged the real pearl for fake one and then his brother pulled his kite back to the ground.

Resolution :

The brothers quickly returned to their ships and set sail for China. They sailed safely home. The emperor was thrilled with the pearl and gave a big party to celebrate his sons return.
