sentences by adaptation translation, 31% sentences by free translation, 1%

translation. The total number of sentences from the data consisted of 76%

based on the text in the Folktale. The reason why the translator used free

approaches of translation when he was translating the text, he thought that the
audience was a child. so that he arranged the language to be easy to understand.
