“Oh, that red scarf. I have it with me. I will give it to you later, but I need your help for now. I am a bit sick today and I have not eaten any. Can you help me prepare food and clean my house?”

Happily, Bawang Putih agreed and helped that old woman.

She cooked some food for her, looked for firewood, picked some vegetables for grandma’s tomorrow’s food, cleaned the house, and washed grandma’s clothes.

Those house chores were just easy for Bawang Putih to do as she used to do the same chores every day at home.

After finishing the work, grandma finally gave me the scarf.

“Bawang Putih, here is your mother’s red scarf that you are looking for. And, I have a gift for you. I have two pumpkins and I will give you one of them, just choose one that you like.”

“I am so happy to help you, grandma. And I think you need that pumpkin more than me, you can cook it for your meals tomorrow. I have picked you some vegetables and I think pumpkin soup will be perfect for your side dish,” Bawang Putih smiled politely.

“I want to give you. Just pick one of them,” insisted grandmother.”

“Okay, grandma. I will take the small one.”

“Good. But, you have to remember that you can only open that pumpkin when you are home.” “Sure, grandma.”

Bawang Putih, then, immediately went home. Of course, as she reached home her stepmother scolded her because she came home so late that the dinner was not ready yet for her and Bawang Merah.

Then, Bawang Putih went to the kitchen, took a knife and cut the pumpkin.

What a surprise, the pumpkin was full of sparkling jewelry.

Bawang Putih who was innocent and kind-hearted immediately shouted with joy and told her stepmother about it. She finally told everything she did on that day. 

“Oh Bawang Putih, why didn’t you take the large one? It must have more jewelry in it,” scolded her stepmother.
