Merah came to that house and stayed for a week like what Bawang Putih did.
However, because Bawang Merah was a lazy girl, the old lady gave a different
pumpkin from Bawang Putih. Bawang Merah did not care and Bawang Merah
immediately went home to open the pumpkin with her mother. Apparently, the
content was not gems or gold, but the venomous snake that bit of Bawang Merah
