The Javanese people began to recognise the variety of western literature after printing media was introduced by the Dutch colonial government. Since then, a lot of Javanese literary works written by Javanese authors have been published through mass media. It was a different condition for literature to develop compared to the preceding traditional handwriting period. In Javanese literature today, works of prose are varied into several forms, such as fairy tales, novels and even stories that are widely known in mass media, among them are Panjebar Semangat, and Jaka Lodhang. In the mass media the form becomes short stories (carita cekak, jagating lelembut, wacan boy, carios pedhalangan). Each of these forms has its own fans. The purpose of this research is to trace the concept or principle of patience, harmony and respect in Javanese culture applied by an author in a story. This research explores the story of Lamtara-Lamtara Pinggir Desa. The story is written by Sri Setya Rahayu, a story writer who often writes stories in Javanese. Sri Setya Rahayu is an active writer as her short stories, such as Panjebar Semangat, Jayabaya, Kumangdhang, Djaka Lodang, and others, are often published in magazines or tabloids.
