Dahulu kala, disebuah desa yang bernama desa Dadapan, hiduplah seorang wanita bernama Mak Janda Dadapan. Ia mempunyai seorang anak kandung bernama Bawang Merah dan seorang anak tiri bernama Bawang Putih. Sementara Bapak kandung Bawang Putih sudah lama meninggal.

Perlakuan Mak Janda terhadap dua anaknya ini sangat berbeda. Bawang Merah sangat dimanja. Pekerjaannya hanya bersolek dan bermalas-malasan. Sementara setiap hari, Bawang Putih harus bekerja berat membersihkan rumah, mencuci, dan memasak.

Suatu hari, Bawang Putih sedang mencuci di sungai, tanpa disadarinya sehelai baju milik Bawang Merah hanyut. Sesampainya di rumah, Bawang Putih dimarahi dan dipukuli oleh sang Ibu Tiri.

“Cari baju itu! Jangan pulang sebelum kau menemukannya!” ujar Mak Janda.

Bawang Putih lalu keluar dari rumah dan berjalan menyusuri sungai dengan berurai air mata. Perutnya sangat lapar karena sejak pagi belum makan. Akhirnya, ia bertemu dengan seorang nenek yang sedang mencuci beras di sungai. Si Nenek bilang ia menemukan baju Bawang Putih dan mengajak bawang putih kerumahnya. 

Sampai di rumah si Nenek, Bawang Putih membantu si Nenek memasak. Setelah pekerjaannya selesai, ia mendatangi si Nenek untuk pamit. 

"Hari telah malam, cucuku... Lebih baik kau bermalam dulu disini. Besok pagi, kau boleh membawa bajumu itu pulang. Nenek khawatir kau diterkam harimau malam-malam begini” kata si Nenek.

Keesokan harinya, Si Nenek memberikan baju yang hanyut itu. Sebelum meninggalkan rumah, Si Nenek memberikan Bawang Putih sebuah labu sebagai tanda ucapan terimakasih.

Bawang Putih sangat gembira menerima pemberian dari Si Nenek dan memberikannya kepada Ibu Tirinya Mak Janda Dadapan. 

Mak Janda Dadapan segera membelah labu itu. Ia sangat terkejut karena labu tersebut penuh berisi emas permata serta perhiasan yang sangat indah. Mak Janda Dadapan dan Bawang Merah sangat senang karena mereka menjadi orang yang kaya raya. 

Namun keduanya berpikir untuk mendapatkan harta lebih banyak. Mereka pun membuat rencana. Bawang Merah menghanyutkan sebuah baju ke sungai. Dalam perjalanannya mencari baju itu, ia bertemu dengan Si Nenek. Si Nenek juga menemukan baju Bawang Merah yang hanyut.

Bawang Merah mengikuti si Nenek kerumahnya. Sesampainya di rumah, Si Nenek meminta Bawang Merah untuk membantunya di dapur. Namun, Bawang Merah tidak mau membantu Si Nenek karena memang ia pemalas. Si Nenek marah dan menyuruh Bawang Merah pulang dan Si Nenek tidak lupa memberi Bawang Merah oleh-oleh sebuah labu yang berukuran sangat besar.

Bawang Merah menerima labu tersebut dengan penuh suka cita dan bergegas pulang ke rumah. Sesampainya di rumah ia disambut gembira oleh Ibunya. Merekapun membelah labu tersebut. Namun alangkah kagetnya karena isi labu tersebut berisi kalajengking dan kelabang yang berbisa yang langsung berhamburan menggigit keduanya hingga tewas.

Bawang Putih sangat sedih karena kehilangan Ibu dan Adik tirinya. Karena kebaikan dan ketulusan hatinya, seorang Pangeran meminangnya untuk menjadi Istrinya dan merekapun hidup berbahagia hingga akhir hayat.
