Ancient times in a village lived a family consisting of a father, mother and a beautiful teenage girl named garlic. They are a happy family. Although garlic fathers are merchants only, but they live in harmony and peace. But one day the mother of garlic was severely ill and eventually died. Garlic is very grieving as is his father.

In the village live also a widow who has a child named Red Onion. Since Garlic's mother died, mother Onion often visited garlic house. He often brings food, helps garlic clean up the house or just accompany Garlic and his father chatted. Finally Garlic's father thought that maybe it would be better if he married only with mother Onion, so Garlic is not lonely anymore.

With consideration of garlic, then Garlic father married to mother onion. Initially mother onion and red onion are very good to garlic. But over time their true nature began to appear. They often scold the garlic and give him a hard job if Garlic's father is away trading. Garlic has to do all the homework, while the Onion and his mother just sit around. Of course Garlic's father does not know it, because Garlic never tells it.

One day Gareth father fell ill and then died. Since then Onion and his mother increasingly powerful and arbitrary against Garlic. Garlic is almost never rests. He had to get up before dawn, to prepare bath and breakfast water for the Onion and his mother. Then he should feed the cattle, water the garden and wash clothes to the river. Then he still had to iron, tidy up the house, and much more work. But Garlic always does his work with joy, because he hopes one day his stepmother will love him like his own son.

This morning as usual Garlic brought a basket of clothes to be washed in the river. With a little singing he followed the path on the edge of a small forest he used to pass. It was a very sunny day. Garlic immediately washed all the dirty clothes it carried. So too fun, Garlic does not realize that one shirt has drifted in the current. Unfortunately the clothes that drifted is his stepmother's favorite clothes. When she realized it, her stepmother's shirt had drifted too far. Garlic tries down the river to look for it, but can not find it. In desperation he returned home and told his mother.

"Careless!" Snapped his stepmother. "I do not want to know, you just have to find that outfit! And do not dare go home if you have not found it yet. Understand?"

Garlic was forced to comply with the wishes of his stepmother. He quickly washed down the river where earlier. Mataharisudah start rising, but Garlic has not found his mother's clothes. He put up his eyes, carefully examining every roots that jutted into the river, who knows his mother's clothes were stuck there. After a long walk and the sun was leaning to the west, Garlic saw a shepherd who was bathing his buffalo. So Garlic asked: "O good uncle, do you see the red shirt drifting through here? Because I have to find it and bring it home. "" Yes I saw my son. If you go after him quickly, maybe you can catch him, "said the uncle.

"Well, my uncle, thank you!" Garlic said and immediately ran back down. It was getting dark, Garlic had begun to despair. Soon the night will come, and Garlic. From a distance there was a light coming from a hut by the river. Garlic immediately approached the house and knocked it.
"Excuse me ...!" Garlic said. An old woman opened the door.
"Who are you boy?" Asked the grandmother.

"I'm a Garlic Grandma. I was looking for my mother's shirt to float away. And now the night. May I live here tonight? "Asked Garlic.
"Sure son. Are the clothes you're looking for in red? "Asked the grandmother.
"Yes, grandma. Did ... grandma find it? "Asked Garlic.

"Yes. The clothes had been stuck in front of my house. Honey, when I liked that shirt, "said the grandmother. "Okay I will return it, but you must accompany me here for a week. I have not talked to anyone for a long time, how? "Asks granny. Garlic thinks for a moment. The grandmother looked lonely. Garlic was pity. "Well nek, I will accompany my grandmother for a week, as long as my grandmother is not bored with me," Garlic said with a smile.

For a week Garlic lives with the grandmother. Every day Garlic helps with Grandma's homework. Of course the grandmother me happiness. Until finally even a week, grandma also called garlic.
"Son, you've been here a week. And I am glad that you are a diligent and filial child. For that I promise you can take your mother's clothes home. And another one, you can choose one of these two pumpkins as a gift! "Said the grandmother.
At first Garlic refused to be rewarded but grandma kept pushing it. Finally Garlic chooses the smallest pumpkin. "I am afraid of not being strong enough to bring a big one," he said. Grandma smiled and delivered Garlic to the front of the house.

Upon arriving home, Garlic hands over her stepmother's red shirt while she goes to the kitchen to split her yellow pumpkin. What a surprise garlic when the pumpkin split, inside it contains a lot of gold gems. He shouted so excitedly and told this miraculous thing to his stepmother and the greedy red onion who grabbed the gold and the gem. They force garlic to tell how he can get the gift. Garlic was told truthfully.

Hear the story of garlic, onion and mother plan to do the same thing but this time the onion will do it. In short eventually red onion arrived at the old grandmother's house on the edge of the river. Like garlic, onion was asked to accompany him for a week. Unlike the diligent garlic, during the week the onion just laze. Even if something is done then the result is never good because it is always done with perfunctory. Finally after a week the grandmother allowed the onion to go. "Should not my grandmother give me a pumpkin as a present for keeping you company for a week?" Asked the red onion. The grandmother had to tell the red onion to pick one of the two pumpkins on offer. Quickly the red onion picked up a large pumpkin and without saying thank you she strolled away.

Arriving at home onion immediately met his mother and happily showed the pumpkin he was carrying. For fear of garlic will ask for part, they ordered garlic to go to the river. Then they impatiently split that pumpkin. But it was not the gold gems that came out of the pumpkin, but the venomous animals like snakes, scorpions, and others. The animals immediately attacked the onion and his mother to death. That is the reward for those who are greedy.
