Every region in Indonesia has its literary works, such as folklore, which enter into oral literature. Folklore (folklore) is defined by Endraswara as part of traditional culture that is carried down through generations with different versions, namely oral, movement or with other tools [1].
Culture is a tradition of ancestors passed down from generation to generation. Existing culture is preserved to survive and become a pride for the country if it is known by other countries.

Folklore has diverse motives that need to be stored and maintained as shared assets, although the documentation process requires a lot of time, material, and mind [2].
