Magic Candle

Once upon a time, there was a young wanderer who got lost in the woods. The young wanderer walked slowly around the woods without a clear directions day and night. One day, he saw a light from an old hut and found an old woman crying.

"What happened to you, old woman? Why are you crying?" asked the young wanderer.

"My, oh my! I had a magic candle that could grant anything I asked. But, the devil stole it from me and took it to his castle. Now, I do not have anything left. I will be starving to death. My, oh, my!" said the old woman.

"Don't worry, old woman, '' said the young wanderer, 'I'll go to the castle and take the candle and give it back to you real soon. I promise."

Then the young wanderer went to the castle where he found the devil. The devil looked mean but he was old and weak. The young wanderer quietly stepped into the room and quickly grabbed the magic candle from the devil's table. Then he ran away as fast as he could.

Untuk mengetahui nilai moral pada cerita tersebut, kamu bisa memahami poin2 penting pada cerita.

Cerita tersebut tentang pengembara yang membantu nenek tua mengambil lilin, lalu ia tidak mengembalikannya kembali ke wanita tua. (He didn't return the candle to the old woman, but kept it for himself).

Lalu, ia membuat harapan dan akhirnya bertemu wanita cantik. Tetapi, wanita tersebut marah setelah mengetahui cerita si pengembara.
