Sonora.ID - Cerita Sangkuriang bahasa Inggris menjadi salah satu materi yang dibahas dalam salah satu bab di kelas 9.
Namun sayangnya, cerita tersebut tidak disertakan atau pun tertulis dalam buku untuk siswa, hanya tersedia dalam buku untuk guru.
Dalam buku paket siswa, murid hanya diminta untuk mendengarkan cerita Sangkuriang dalam bahasa Inggris yang dibacakan oleh guru tanpa diberi teks asli.
Hal tersebut mungkin menjadi kendala bagi sebagian besar individu sehingga kesulitan mengerjakan soal.

Cerita Sangkuriang Bahasa Inggris Kelas 9
Once upon a time in West Java, Indonesia, lived a princess named Dayang Sumbi. She was beautiful and kind-hearted. Her hobby was weaving cloth. But sometimes she could be very lazy. One day her weaving tool fell, but she was too lazy to get it herself. She shouted out, “Can anybody help me get my tool? If you are a female, I will take you as my sister. If you are a male, I will marry you!”
A male creature came, but it was a dog. His name was Tumang. He happily brought the tool to her. Dayang Sumbi was very surprised, but she kept her promise. She married the dog. Tumang was actually a man who had been cursed by a witch to become a dog. But at certain times Tumang could turn back to be a normal man.
Their only son, Sangkuriang, was soon born, and he grew up to be a handsome and healthy boy. He always played with his very loyal dog, Tumang. He did not know that he was actually his father, because Dayang Sumbi hid the secret from him.
