The traditional
Balinese folktales range from local tales to fables which are taken from Tantri story, transferred from older generation to the younger one every night before the young soundly asleep.
The reminiscence of traditional
Balinese folktales can be found in the textbook of Balinese language lesson in elementary and junior high school.
This modern drama enacted a story about Cupak, an antagonist in traditional
Balinese folktale «Cupak and Grantang».
Some efforts have been done to translate
Balinese folktale into English, but these efforts quite off the track to preserve and increase the knowledge of Balinese of their own traditional folktales.
