Orientation

Long ago, in a peaceful village in Lampung, there was a beautiful river called Way Kencana. The villagers depended on the river for clean water, farming, and fishing. A kind girl named Kirana always reminded everyone to protect the river.

Complication

A wealthy merchant named Rangga persuaded the villagers to dig for valuable stones beneath the river. Although Kirana warned them not to damage nature, many villagers ignored her advice. Soon, the river became polluted, the fish disappeared, and the rice fields dried up.

Resolution

The villagers realized their mistake and asked for forgiveness. After a night of heavy rain, the river became clear again, but the valuable stones had disappeared forever. The villagers understood that nature had protected itself from human greed.

Reorientation

Since then, the villagers have worked together to protect the river. They planted trees, kept the river clean, and taught future generations to respect nature. The story reminds us that caring for the environment brings prosperity, while greed leads to destruction.

Narrative text is not defined by its tense. It is defined by its purpose—to tell a story. Most narratives use the Simple Past Tense because they tell events that have already happened. However, if a story takes place in the future or is told in the present for stylistic reasons, other tenses may be used.
