Narrative text - Princess Rasyida

 

When the roses blossomed, a pretty baby girl was born in the place of Barakah. She was named Princess Rasyida. The name rasyida was derived from the word Rasyid, meaning intelligent. Princess Rasyida grew up to be a smart girl. She liked to read, as well as find out new things.

One day princess rasyida received an invitation to Prince Haikal birthday party. The other princesses were busy finding new gowns and birthday presents. When princess Rasyida thought about her plan for coming to the party, suddenly a little bird flew into her bedroom. “I just heard a conversation between two persons on the street they are going to hurt Prince Haikal at the party this evening” said the bird which was princess Rasyida’s best friend. “oh, we have to prevent them from doing so. Do you know how they look?” asked princess Rasyida. “No I don’t. their faces hidden behind a shawl I believe this evening they will come in disguised. I also overheard that they will carry some metal arrows ”  informed the little bird.  

Princess Rasyida thought hard. Finally she found the way. She made a necklace with a magnetic pendant. She will give the necklace as her birthday present for prince Haikal. When Princess Rasyida presented the necklace, many guests criticized her. “How come a princess gives the prince a magnetic necklace which has no value at all” they whispered. The kind hearted Prince Haikal immediately wore the magnetic necklace.

 During the party, suddenly a guard stood in front of Prince Haikal. He aimed his arrow directly at prince. Fortunately The arrow aimed at Prince Haikal changed its direction. Because the tip of arrow was made of iron, it was pulled by the magnetic pendant. Prince Haikal wa saved.

The guard s immediately captured the disguised. “thank you Princess Rasyida because your present my life is saved” said prince Haikal. “The real help comes from God. I only help as best as I can” replied princess Rasyida.

The other guests were so sorry for insulting Princess Rasyida earlier. They acknowledged Princess Rasyida’s intelligence in choosing the right present for Prince Haikal. No wonder that several years later Prince Haikal married princess Rasyida.
