Good morning. I was so glad finding this source of Indonesian folktale. However, i was disapointed with the translation posted in this blog. I found a great deal number of mistakes. I found mistakes in grammar inconsistencies, weird dictions, and expressions. I think, you need to revise this posting since this blog is very good. I mean, look at the lay out, the content (the number of the stories), and all the great things that people should have expected from this blog. I'm offering a help to revise this blog since (I think) people might need the knowledge, particularly about Indonesian folktale. Thanks. :)
