There are lots of folklores in the Balinese society, called as satua Bali. These stories spreadfrom generation to generation and mouth to mouth, and most of them unknown for theirwriter or author. The language use is Balinese language or ancient Javanese language. Generally, these Balinese stories still survive, i.e. the story of Pan and I Belog. These storiesconcern on time and plot. The story retells by the first person and third person in a particulartime in order to increase the knowledge of hearer and readers. These narrative texts orientedon the characters as the result findings in the research and supported within societyperception. Data were taken from those two stories that existed in society. These dataanalyzed by note-taking from interviewing respondents and distributional method through questionnaires. Based on the result, three components of speech act found in the stories asof: locutionary act, illocutionary act, and perlocutionary act. Meanwhile, there were five types of function of speech act found in those stories, such as: expressive, directive, commissive, representative, and declarative. However, one form of the speech in one of the story can function in various ways. In the sosiopragmatics analysis eight aspects ofSPEAKING can also be found in both stories, except in the story of I Belog with minimumuse of instrument. In addition, most respondents at Silangjana could still recognize thosestories. The power of plot and characters, including the language used gave effect to thestory. Moral values can be learnt from both stories, as of: individual as members of the society should not attempt to cheat or deceive others, and be friendly to others with no discrimination to status or races. In addition, brilliant brain should be used to help others.
