Bawang Putih, the older sister, is mistreated by her younger sister, Bawang Merah, and their stepmother. One day, while singing an old lullaby on a swing, the swing magically moved back and forth. Bawang Putih regularly visited the enchanted swing to sing. One day, a prince heard her beautiful voice and set out to find the girl who sang it, leading him to Bawang Putih.
