Abstract
Folktales have been useful to nurture, preserve, and hand down cultural values, moral direction, as well as national identity to children. Despite having such an important role in the education of children, it is an unwitting fact that not all folktales are appropriate educative tools. Folktales can double function. While they transmit important values to nurture desired teachings, they simultaneously can portray inappropriate emotions, improper attitudes, adverse notions, stereotypical images, even unhealthy power relations. One value that has been handed down in Indonesia is of unrestrained powers that the elderly possess, as depicted in a number of Indonesian folktales. Filial piety and respect of the elders are important teachings in Indonesia and many other Asian countries. However, assessing the qualities and values being handed down through the depiction of these respected powerful elders is important but oftentimes overlooked. This paper examines the issue of filial piety in The Origin of AsmatFrog to teach the elders and empower the young.
