He asked the couple to plant the seeds. He also warned the couple not to be arrogant when they were rich. He wanted the couple to help poor people. The couple started a new life.

Kiai Gede heard about the couple's bad behavior. Soon he visited the couple. He met them when the couple was working in the field. Kiai Gede talked to the couple. He reminded the couple not to be arrogant, but the couple ignored him. They said nothing to Kiai Gede. Kiai Gede got very angry. Then he said, "You two are like temples. You do not listen to me".

Bruce and the Spider

Robert Bruce, King of Scotland, was hiding in a hut in the forest. His enemies

were seeking him. Six times he had met them in battle, and six times he had

failed. Bruce had given up all as lost. He was about to run away from Scotland,

and to leave the country in the hands of his enemies. Full of sorrow, he lay on a

pile of straw in the poor woodchopper's hut. While he laid thinking, he noticed a

spider spinning her web. The spider was trying to spin a thread from one beam to

another. It was a long way between the beams, and Bruce saw how hard it was for

her to do. "She can never do it," though the king.

The little spider had tried it six times and had failed each time. "She is like me,"

thought the king. "I have tried six battles and failed. She has tried six times to

reach the beam and failed." Then starting up from the straw, he cried, "I will hang

my fate upon that little spider. If she swings the seventh time and fails then I will

give up all for lost. If she swings the seventh time and wins, I will call my men

once more for a battle."

The spider tried the seventh time, letting herself down upon her slender thread.

She swung out bravely. "Look! Look!" shouted the king. "She has reached it. The

thread hangs between the two beams. If the spider can do it, I can do it." Bruce got

up from the straw with new strength and sent his men from village to village,

calling the people to arms. The brave soldiers answered his call and came. Soon,

his army was ready to fight, and when the king led them in a great battle against

the enemy, this time, like the spider, Bruce won.

A fox fell into a well and couldn’t get out. By and by a thirsty goat came along.

Seeing the fox in the well it asked if the water was good. “Good”, said the fox.

“It’s the best water I’ve tasted in all my life. Come down and try it yourself. “The

goat thought of nothing but how thirsty he was. So he jumped into the well. When

he had drunk enough he looked around but there was no way to get out. Then the

fox said, “I have a good idea. You stand on your hind legs and put your forelegs

against the side of the well. Then I’ll climb on your back, from there I’ll step on

your horns, and I can get out. And when I’m out I’ll help you out of the well.”

The goat did as he was asked and the fox got on his back and so out of the well.

Then he coolly walked away. The goat called out loudly after him out. The fox

have hairs in your beard you wouldn’t have jumped into the well without making

sure that you could get out again.

SANGKURIANG

A long time ago, the ancient land of Sunda was ruled by a king and queen who

had but a single daughter. Her name was Dayang Sumbi. She was beautiful and

clever but also pampered and spolited.

One day as she was weaving in her pavilion, she became moody and distracted,

which caused her to keep dropping her shuttle on the floor. Once when it fell she

exclaimed she would marry the one who gave it back to her. At that very moment

her dog Tumang, a demigod possessing magic powers, came up to her with the

shuttle in his mouth. Dayang Sumbi had to marry him.

They lived happily together, and Dayang Sumbi gave birth to a baby boy, human

in appearance but endowed with his father’s magic powers. She named him

Sangkuriang. As the boy grew up, he was always guarded by the faithful dog

Tumang, whom he knew only as a companion and not as his father, Sangkuriang

became handsome and brave.

One day his mother asked him to go hunting with the dog and bring her venison

for a feast. After hunting all day without success, Sangkuriang worried about

facing his mother empty-handed. Desperate, he took an arrow and shot the dog.

He returned home and handed over the meat to his pleased mother. Soon after the

feast, however, Dayang Sumbi questioned her son about the absence of Tumang.

At first he evaded her queries but finally told her what had happened. She was

horrified and struck her son so hard on the temple that he collapsed. For that, the

old king banished his daughter from the court and she was made to roam around

the kingdom. Sangkuriang recovered with a large scar on his temple, and he too

left the court to wander about the world.

Years later, Sangkuriang met a beautiful woman and instantly fell in love with

her. It was his own mother-they did not recognize each other. He pro posed to her

and she agreed to marry him. On the day before the wedding, as she was caressing

her fiancee’s hair, Dayang Sumbi detected the scar on the temple. Horror struck

her, for she was about to marry her own son, Sangkuriang. Without revealing the

whole truth to him, she tried unsuccessfully to dissuade him. Desperate to avoid

the marriage, she set conditions she thought impossible to meet. Sangkuriang had

to make a lake that filled the whole valpley and build a boat for the couple to sail

in, all before dawn.

Sangkuriang started to work. His love gave him extraordinary strength, and he

used his magic powers to summon the spirits to help him. With boulders and mud

they dammed the river in the valley and the water rose and began to form a lake.

In the early morning hours he chopped down a huge tree in the forest and began

hollowing it out to make a boat. When Dayang Sumbi saw that he was about to

accomplish what she has thought impossible, she called on the gods to bring the

sun up early and thwart Sangkuriang.

The cock crowed, the sun rose much earlier than usual, and Sangkuriang realized

he had been deceived. In a fit of fury he caused Dayang Sumbi and kicked the

half-finished boat back into the forest. There it lies upside down today, forming

the mountain Tangkuban Perahu (Upturned Boat). Not far away is the stump of

the tree Sangkuriang had felled, now called Bukit Tinggi. The dam Sangkuriang

had built caused the valley to become a lake, where both Sangkuriang and Dayang

Sumbi drowned themselves. They were never heard of again.

Black Bird’s call. He went back to the shady tree where he had left his wife and

saw she was gone. He put down his bag which was full of food and made a fire.

He cooked his food and after he had finished eating it, he went to get his spears.

He found they had all been broken by Taipan. Then he found the tracks of his

wife and Taipan, and he followed them. Blue-Tongue Lizard followed their tracks

until he came to a tree in which a freshly killed emu had been hung. It had been

killed by Taipan and left there to be eaten that night. Blue-Tongue Lizard knew

that Taipan and his wife must be nearby and he soon found them near a river.

When Taipan saw Blue-Tongue Lizard he ran to get his spears but Blue-Tongue

Lizard had already broken them.

‘We can fight with our teeth’, said Blue-Tongue Lizard. Taipan agreed and the

two of them fought wildly, each of them trying to get a hold of the other. Until

finally Blue-Tongue Lizard caught hold of Taipan’s body in his powerful jaws,

and bit him in half. With Taipan the Snake dead, Blue-Tongue took back his wife

and together they returned to the swamp.

The Princess and the Pea

Once upon a time there was a prince he wanted to get himself a princess, but

she had to be real princess. So he traveled all over the world to find one, but in

every case something was the matter. There were lots of princess, but he could

never quite make out whether they were real or not. So he came home feeling very

unhappy, for really wanted to find a true princess.

One evening a terrible storm came; lightening flashed, thunder rolled, and the

rain poured down in torrents-it was simply awful ! suddenly there was a knock at

the city gate, and the old king went out to answer it.

There was a princess standing outside, but what a sight the rain and the bad

weather had made of her ! The water streamed down her hair and her clothes, and

yet she said she was a real princess.

“It won’t take long to find that out,” thought the old Queen. Without saying

anything, she went into bed chamber, took off all the bedclothes, and places one

pea on the bottom boards of the bed. Then she took twenty mattresses and put

them on top of the pea, and after that she put twenty feather-pillows on top of the

mattresses.

That was where the princess was to spend the night.

In the morning they asked her how she had slept.

“Oh, dreadfully! said the princess. “I hardly slept a wink all night. Whatever

could have been in the bed ? I was lying on something so hard that I’m black and

blue all over.”

So of course they could see that she was a real princess, since she had felt the

pea through twenty mattresses and twenty feather-pillows. No one but a real

princess could have such a tender skin as that.

So the prince took her for his wife, and they lived happily ever after.

Once, a cap seller was passing through a jungle. He was dead tired and needed to

rest. Then, he stopped and spread a cloth under a tree. He placed his bag full of

caps bear him and lay down with his cap on his head.

The cap seller had a sound sleep for one hour. When he got up, the first thing he

did was to look into his bag. He was startled when he found all his caps were not

there. He was wondering where they could have gone. Indeed, he was greatly

puzzled.

When he looked up the sky, he was very surprised to see monkeys sitting on the

branches of a tree, each wearing a cap on his head. They had evidently done it to

imitate him.

He decided to get his caps back by making a humble request to the monkeys. In

return, the monkeys only made faces of him. When he began to make gestures,

even when he raised his fist towards them to threaten them, they also imitated

him.

At last he hit upon a clever idea. “Monkeys are a great imitator,” he thought. So
