Indonesia is the only country which has various kinds of culture from Sabang until Merauke. It has many regions with each cultures they have. There are songs, languages, traditional dances, customs, stories or folktales, etc. The diversity Indonesia has are our treasures that very expensive. And we, as the next generation of our nation, Indonesia, have a big responsibility to keep the treasures.
One of the treasures of our Nation culture that is almost forgotten by Indonesian is story or folktale. As we see in the real life, most of the people especially the kids, are more familiar with western stories such as Cinderella, Goldilocks, Little Red Reading Hood, etc, than our local stories such as Jaka Tingkir, Bawang Merah Bawang Putih, Baru Klinting, Timun Emas, etc. Even, they don’t know about Indonesian Folktales and the western stories. It is very Ironic, isn’t it?

That is the Folktales or stories that our nation has, have very deep moral values that have been tried to be taught and planted in the soul of Indonesian children as the process of building the characters of Indonesian children.
