High and lifted up
It was a windy day. The mailman barely made it to the front door. When the door opened, Mrs. Pennington said, "hello", but, before she had a real chance to say "thank you", the mail blew out of the mailman's hands, into the house and the front door slammed in his face. Mrs. Pennington ran to pick up the mail. "Oh my," she said. Tommy was watching the shutters open and then shut, open and then shut. "Mom," he said, "may I go outside?" "Be careful," she said. "It's so windy today." Tommy crawled down from the window-seat and ran to the door. He opened it with a bang. The wind blew fiercely and snatched the newly recovered mail from Mrs. Pennington's hands and blew it even further into the house. "Oh my," she said again. Tommy ran outside and the door slammed shut. Outside, yellow, gold, and red leaves were leaping from swaying trees, landing on the roof, jumping off the roof, and then chasing one another down the street in tiny whirlwinds of merriment. Tommy watched in fascination. "If I was a leaf, I would fly clear across the world," Tommy thought and then ran out into the yard among the swirl of colors. Mrs. Pennington came to the front porch. "Tommy, I have your jacket. Please put it on." However, there was no Tommy in the front yard. "Tommy?" Tommy was a leaf. He was blowing down the street with the rest of his play-mates. A maple leaf came close-by, touched him and moved ahead. Tommy met him shortly, brushed against him, and moved further ahead. They swirled around and around, hit cars and poles, flew up into the air and then down again. "This is fun," Tommy thought. The maple leaf blew in front of him. It was bright red with well-defined veins. The sun-light shone through it giving it a brilliance never before seen by a little boy's eyes. "Where do you think we are going?" Tommy asked the leaf. "Does it matter?" the leaf replied. "Have fun. Life is short." "I beg to differ," an older leaf said suddenly coming beside them. "The journey may be short, but the end is the beginning." Tommy pondered this the best a leaf could ponder. "Where do we end up?" "If the wind blows you in that direction," the old leaf said, "you will end up in the city dump."
"I don't want that," Tommy said. "If you are blown in that direction, you will fly high into the air and see things that no leaf has seen before." "Follow me to the city dump," the maple leaf said. "Most of my friends are there." The wind blew Tommy and the maple leaf along. Tommy thought of his choices. He wanted to continue to play. "Okay," Tommy said, "I will go with you to the dump." The winds shifted and Tommy and the leaf were blown in the direction of the city dump. The old leaf didn't follow. He was blown further down the block and suddenly lifted up high into the air. "Hey," he called out, "the sights up here. They are spectacular. Come and see." Tommy and the maple leaf ignored him. "I see something. I see the dump." The old leaf cried out. "I see smoke. Come up here. I see fire." "I see nothing," the maple leaf said. Tommy saw the fence that surrounded the city dump. He was happy to be with his friend. They would have fun in the dump. Suddenly, a car pulled up. It was Tommy's mom. Mrs. Pennington wasn't about to let her little boy run into the city dump. "Not so fast," she said getting out of the car. "You are not allowed to play in there. Don't you see the smoke?" Tommy watched the maple leaf blow against the wall and struggle to get over. He ran over to get it but was unable to reach it. Mrs. Pennington walked over and took the leaf. She put it in her pocket. "There," she said, "it will be safe until we get home." Tommy smiled, ran to the car and got in. He rolled down the back window and looked up into the sky. He wondered where the old leaf had gone. Perhaps one day he would see what the old leaf had seen - perhaps.

tinggi dan ditinggikan
Ini hari yang berangin.
Tukang Pos berdiri tepat di depan pintu. Ketika pintu dibuka, Ibu Pennington berkata, "hello", tetapi, sebelum dia memiliki kesempatan nyata untuk mengatakan "terima kasih", surat diletakkan dari tangan pak pos, ke rumah dan di depan pintu wajahnya penasaran. Ibu Pennington berlari untuk mengambil surat.
"Oh saya," katanya.
Tommy telah selesai menonton shutters membuka dan kemudian ditutup.
"Ibu," katanya, "mungkin saya akan ke luar?"
"Hati-hati," katanya. "ini hari yang berangin."
Tommy menjelajahi bawah dari jendela-kursi dan berlari ke pintu. Ia membuka dengan keras. angin bertiup panas dan menerbangkan kembali melewati tangan nyonya Pennington dan bahkan lebih jauh ke dalam rumah.
"Oh saya," katanya lagi. Tommy berlari ke luar dan menutup pintu segera.
Daun berguguran di Luar, kuning emas, merah dari ayunan pohon, menuju pada atap, melompat di bagian atap, kemudian bertabrakan satu sama lain di bawah jalan kecil dari angin kegembiraan.
Tommy terpesona.
"Jika saya adalah daun, saya akan terbang jelas di seluruh dunia," pikir Tommy dan kemudian berlari keluar ke halaman di antara keramaian warna.
Ibu Pennington datang ke serambi depan.
"Tommy, saya minta jaket. Harap meletakkannya di."
Namun, tidak ada Tommy di halaman depan.
"Tommy?"
Tommy pergi. Dia meniup bawah jalan dengan sisa dari itu bermain-main.
Sebuah daun maple datang dekat-oleh, dan menyentuh dia bergerak maju. Tommy segera bertemu dengan dia, menyapa dia, dan bergerak lebih maju. Mereka berkeliling, tekan mobil dan tiang, Terbang ke atas ke udara dan kemudian turun lagi.
"Ini sangat menyenangkan," pikir Tommy.
Daun maple yang beterbangan di depannya. Merah terang itu dengan baik. Sinar mentari menyinarinya memberi keterangan yang belum pernah dilihat oleh seorang anak kecil.
"Kemana kita akan pergi?" Tommy bertanya kepada daun.
"apa itu penting?" daun menjawab. "Bersenang senaglah. Hidup ini singkat."
"Saya tdk setuju," ujar daun tua tiba-tiba datang di sebelahnya. "Perjalanan singkat mungkin, tapi akhirnya adalah awal."
Tommy brfikir ini yang terbaik yang bisa direnungkan oleh daun.
"Di mana kita berakhir?"
"Jika angin betirup sesuai arah," daun tua berkata, "Anda akan berakhir di kota dump."

"Saya tidak ingin itu," ujar Tommy.
"Jika anda berkembang dalam arah, anda akan terbang tinggi ke udara dan melihat hal-hal yang tidak dimiliki daun sebelumnya."
"Ikuti saya ke kota dump," kata daun maple. "Sebagian besar dari teman saya yang ada."
Angin menerbangkan Tommy dan daun maple bersama. Tommy berpikir dia orang pilihan. Dia ingin terus bermain.
"Okay," Tommy berkata, "Aku akan pergi bersama Anda ke tempat sampah."
Angin bergeser dan Tommy dan daun yang ditiupkan ke arah kota dump.
Daun yang lama tidak mengikuti. Dia telah tertiup cukup jauh di bawah blok dan tiba-tiba diterbangkan tinggi ke udara.
"Hey," ia berteriak, "pemandangan di sini. Mereka spektakuler. Datang dan lihat."
Tommy dan daun maple mengabaikan dia.
"Saya melihat sesuatu. Dump saya lihat." Lama daun berteriak. "Saya melihat asap. Mari di sini. Saya melihat api."
"Saya lihat apa-apa," kata daun maple.
Tommy melihat pagar yang mengelilingi kota dump. Dia akan senang dengan teman. Mereka akan bersenang-senang di tempat sampah.
Tiba-tiba, sebuah mobil terlihat dari atas. Itu ib tommy. Ibu Pennington tidak akan membiarkan anak kecil itu berjalan ke kota dump.
"Tidak terlalu cepat," kata dia keluar dari mobil. "Kamu tidak diperbolehkan untuk bermain di sana. Tidakkah anda melihat asap?"
Tommy melhat daun mapel tertiup ke dinding dan perjuangan untuk mendapatkan lebih. Dia berlari untuk mendapatkannya tetapi tidak dapat mencapainya.
Ibu Pennington berjalan di atas dan mengambil daun. Ia meletakkannya di saku.
"Di sana," katanya, "ia akan aman sampai rumah kita."
Tommy tersenyum, berlari ke mobil dan memasukinya. Dia terguling bawah jendela belakang dan memandang ke atas langit. Dia bertanya-tanya di mana daun tua telah pergi. Mungkin satu hari dia akan melihat apa yang telah lama tak dilihat oleh daun.

A Poor Widow and Her Rich Neighbour


There was once an old widow who was very poor, so poor that she did not have clothes and anything to live properly. Sometimes she ate only once a day or even ate nothing for three days. Neither did she have relatives who would take care of her. She earned her living by collecting fire woods from the forest and sold it in the market. Next to her hut was the house of a rich man.
One day, she left for the forest for gathering fire woods. She walked alongside of a dry river. She saw a lot of fish wriggling in the mud as the lackness of water. She was about to take some of the fish for her meal when suddenly she heard the biggest one mumbled like a human being, “Dear god, send us water.” This request was repeated time after time while the fish lifted its head to the heaven. The woman was wondering what would happen next.
Some minutes later, the rain fell down from the sky. The river was full of water so that the little creatures could swim and were saved from death.
All her way home, she thought of the fish, of how they raised their heads to the heaven and how they had prayed for water. Then she got an idea, “if I ask for money, I may get it, I shall repeat the words of the fish.”
When she arrived at home, she sat in the corner of her house, raised her head and repeated the words time after time.
“God, your servant ask for money,” The poor woman was convinced that God would give money as He had given the water to the fish.
Her voice annoyed her neighbour. He came to her and said, “Stop your praying! Your request will not be heard. It is impossible that God comes here and give you money. You had better go to the forest to gather woods and leaves and live with that.”
The poor widow ignored it. She kept praying and it made her neighbour lost his patience. He took a large bag, filled it with pieces of glass and while the woman was seriously crying for money, he climbed with the bag on his shoulder up the roof of the window.
The man wanted to make fool of her. He threw his bag on the woman. Getting hit by the bag, the woman fell unconscious. When she woke up, he opened the bag and found money in it. She was very happy. Soon, she became a rich woman in her village.

BATARA KALA

Batara Kala

Ini adalah pengetahuan yang baik yaitu suatu cerita rakyat yang dimiliki Negara kita. Ini adalah salah satu legenda yang umumnya diceritakan di jawa.

Orang di beberapa desa di jawa percaya bahwa gerhana terjadi ketika matahari atau bulan ditelan oleh Batara Kala, raksasa jahat. Meskipun Batara Kala bukan salah satu dewa di surga. Dia sangat kuat.

Suatu hari Batara Wisnu (dewa pelindung) menyalurkan Tirta Amerta Sari atau minuman para dewa. Seseorang yang meminumnya tidak akan pernah mati. Batara Kala ingin mendapatkan sebagian juga. Maka dia berusaha menipu dengan cara menukar dirinya menjadi dewa. Batara Surya (dewa Matahari) dan Batari Candra (dewi Bulan) mengetahui tipuannya dan bercerita dengan Batara Wisnu mengenai hal itu. Ketika Batara Kala datang untuk menerima minuman, Batara Wisnu menembaknya dari jarak jauh dengan senjata Cakranya yang terkenal dan memotong kepalanya. Walaupun demikian sebagian minuman telah memancar di atas kepala Batara Kala dan itu membuat kepalanya hidup selamanya. Selanjutnya Batara Kala terus hidup tanpa badannya.

Batara Kala sangat marah dengan Batara Surya dan Batari Candra dan berusaha untuk menelannya, tetapi dewa dan dewi tersebut melarikan diri. Batara Kala menjadi marah dan setiap saat dia tidak pernah berhenti mengejar mereka.

Batara Wisnu ingin melindungi dewa dan dewi tersebut. Dia memperintahkan orang di bumi untuk membuat banyak suara bilamana terjadi gerhana. Suara itu akan membantu Batara Surya dan Batari Candra untuk melarikan diri dari Batara Kala.

Hingga saat ini orang memukul alat seperti penumbuk padi ketika mereka melihat gerhana. Mereka tinggal di dalam rumahnya. Wanita hamil bersembunyi di bawah tempat tidur mereka untuk menjauhkan diri dari kemarahan Batara Kala.

Cindelaras memelihara anak ayamnya dengan rajin. Anak ayam itu tumbuh menjadi seekor ayam jantan yang bagus dan kuat. Tapi ada satu keanehan. Bunyi kokok ayam jantan itu sungguh menakjubkan! "Kukuruyuk... Tuanku Cindelaras, rumahnya di tengah rimba, atapnya daun kelapa, ayahnya Raden Putra..."Cindelaras sangat takjub mendengar kokok ayamnya dan segera memperlihatkan pada ibunya. Lalu, ibu Cindelaras menceritakan asal usul mengapa mereka sampai berada di hutan. Mendengar cerita ibundanya, Cindelaras bertekad untuk ke istana dan membeberkan kejahatan selir baginda. Setelah di ijinkan ibundanya, Cindelaras pergi ke istana ditemani oleh ayam jantannya. Ketika dalam perjalanan ada beberapa orang yang sedang menyabung ayam. Cindelaras kemudian dipanggil oleh para penyabung ayam. "Ayo, kalau berani, adulah ayam jantanmu dengan ayamku," tantangnya. "Baiklah," jawab Cindelaras. Ketika diadu, ternyata ayam jantan Cindelaras bertarung dengan perkasa dan dalam waktu singkat, ia dapat mengalahkan lawannya. Setelah beberapa kali diadu, ayam Cindelaras tidak terkalahkan. Ayamnya benar-benar tangguh.Berita tentang kehebatan ayam Cindelaras tersebar dengan cepat. Raden Putra pun mendengar berita itu. Kemudian, Raden Putra menyuruh hulubalangnya untuk mengundang Cindelaras. "Hamba menghadap paduka," kata Cindelaras dengan santun. "Anak ini tampan dan cerdas, sepertinya ia bukan keturunan rakyat jelata," pikir baginda. Ayam Cindelaras diadu dengan ayam Raden Putra dengan satu syarat, jika ayam Cindelaras kalah maka ia bersedia kepalanya dipancung, tetapi jika ayamnya menang maka setengah kekayaan Raden Putra menjadi milik Cindelaras.Dua ekor ayam itu bertarung dengan gagah berani. Tetapi dalam waktu singkat, ayam Cindelaras berhasil menaklukkan ayam sang Raja. Para penonton bersorak sorai mengelu-elukan Cindelaras dan ayamnya. "Baiklah aku mengaku kalah. Aku akan menepati janjiku. Tapi, siapakah kau sebenarnya, anak muda?" Tanya Baginda Raden Putra. Cindelaras segera membungkuk seperti membisikkan sesuatu pada ayamnya. Tidak berapa lama ayamnya segera berbunyi. "Kukuruyuk... Tuanku Cindelaras, rumahnya di tengah rimba, atapnya daun kelapa, ayahnya Raden Putra...," ayam jantan itu berkokok berulang-ulang. Raden Putra terperanjat mendengar kokok ayam Cindelaras. "Benarkah itu?" Tanya baginda keheranan. "Benar Baginda, nama hamba Cindelaras, ibu hamba adalah permaisuri Baginda."Bersamaan dengan itu, sang patih segera menghadap dan menceritakan semua peristiwa yang sebenarnya telah terjadi pada permaisuri. "Aku telah melakukan kesalahan," kata Baginda Raden Putra. "Aku akan memberikan hukuman yang setimpal pada selirku," lanjut Baginda dengan murka. Kemudian, selir Raden Putra pun di buang ke hutan.

Sangkuriang

In Indonesian
Sangkuriang

Pada jaman dahulu kala, di tatar Parahyangan, berdiri sebuah kerajaan yang gemah ripah lohjinawi kerta raharja. Tersebutlah sang prabu yang gemar olah raga berburu binatang, yang senantiasa ditemani anjingnya yang setia, yang bernama "Tumang".
Pada suatu ketika sang Prabu berburu rusa, namun telah seharian hasilnya kurang menggembirakan. Binatang buruan di hutan seakan lenyap ditelan bumi. Ditengah kekecewaan tidak mendapatkan binatang buruannya, sang Prabu dikagetkan dengan nyalakan anjing setianya "Tumang" yang menemukan seorang bayi perempuan tergeletak diantara rimbunan rerumputan. Alangkah gembiranya sang Prabu, ketika ditemukannya bayi perempuan yang berparas cantik tersebut, mengingat telah cukup lama sang Prabu mendambakan seorang putri, namun belum juga dikaruniai anak. Bayi perempuan itu diberi nama Putri Dayangsumbi.
Alkisah putri Dayngsumbi nan cantik rupawan setelah dewasa dipersunting seorang pria, yang kemudian dikarunia seorang anak laki-laki yang diberi nama Sangkuriang yang juga kelak memiliki kegemaran berburu seperti juga sang Prabu. Namun sayang suami Dayangsumbi tidak berumur panjang.
Suatu saat, Sangkuriang yang masih sangat muda belia, mengadakan perburuan ditemani anjing kesayangan sang Prabu yang juga kesayangan ibunya, yaitu Tumang. Namun hari yang kurang baik menyebabkan perburuan tidak memperoleh hasil binatang buruan. Karena Sangkuriang telah berjanji untuk mempersembahkan hati rusa untuk ibunya, sedangkan rusa buruan tidak didapatkannya, maka Sangkuriang nekad membunuh si Tumang anjing kesayangan ibunya dan juga sang Prabu untuk diambil hatinya, yang kemudian dipersembahkan kepada ibunya.
Ketika Dayangsumbi akhirnya mengetahui bahwa hati rusa yang dipersembahkan putranya tiada lain adalah hati "si Tumang" anjing kesayangannya, maka murkalah Dayangsumbi. Terdorong amarah, tanpa sengaja, dipukulnya kepala putranya dengan centong nasi yang sedang dipegangnya, hingga menimbulkan luka yang berbekas. Sangkuriang merasa usaha untuk menggembirakan ibunya sia-sia, dan merasa perbuatannya tidak bersalah. Pikirnya tiada hati rusa, hati anjingpun jadilah, dengan tidak memikirkan kesetiaan si Tumang yang selama hidupnya telah setia mengabdi pada majikannya. Sangkuriangpun minggat meninggalkan kerajaan, lalu menghilang tanpa karana.
Setelah kejadian itu Dayangsumbi merasa sangat menyesal, setiap hari ia selalu berdoa dan memohon kepada Hyang Tunggal, agar ia dapat dipertemukan kembali dengan putranya. Kelak permohonan ini terkabulkan, dan kemurahan sang Hyang Tunggal jualah maka Dayangsumbi dikaruniai awet muda. Syahdan Sangkuriang yang terus mengembara, ia tumbuh penjadi pemuda yang gagah perkasa, sakti mandraguna apalgi setelah ia berhasil menaklukan bangsa siluman yang sakti pula, yaitu Guriang Tujuh.
Dalam suatu saat pengembaraannya, Sangkuriang tanpa disadarinya ia kembali ke kerajaan dimana ia berasal. Dan alur cerita hidup mempertemukan ia dengan seorang putri yang berparas jelita nan menawan, yang tiada lain ialah putri Dayangsumbi. Sangkuriang jatuh hati kepada putri tersebut, demikianpula Dayangsumbi terpesona akan kegagahan dan ketampanan Sangkuriang, maka hubungan asmara keduanya terjalinlah. Sangkuriang maupun Dayangsumbi saat itu tidak mengetahui bahwa sebenarnya keduanya adalah ibu dan anak. Sangkuriang akhirnya melamar Dayangsumbi untuk dipersunting menjadi istrinya.
Namun lagi lagi alur cerita hidup membuka tabir yang tertutup, Dayangsumbi mengetahui bahwa pemuda itu adalah Sangkuriang anaknya, sewaktu ia melihat bekas luka dikepala Sangkuriang, saat ia membetulkan ikat kepala calon suaminya itu. Setelah merasa yakin bawa Sangkuriang anaknya, Dayangsumbi berusaha menggagalkan pernikahan dengan anaknya. Untuk mempersunting dirinya, Dayangsumbi mengajukan dua syarat yang harus dipenuhi Sangkuriang dengan batas waktu sebelum fajar menyingsing.
Syarat pertama, Sangkuriang harus dapat membuat sebuah perahu yang besar. Syarat kedua, Sangkuriang harus dapat membuat danau untuk bisa dipakai berlayarnya perahu tersebut.
Sangkuriang menyanggupi syarat tersebut, ia bekerja lembur dibantu oleh wadiabalad siluman pimpinan Guriang Tujuh untuk mewujudkan permintaan tersebut. Kayu kayu besar untuk perahu dan membendung sungai Citarum, ia dapatkan dari hutan di sebuah gunung yang menurut legenda kelak diberi nama Gunung Bukit Tunggul. Adapun ranting dan daun dari pohon yang dipakai kayunya, ia kumpulkan disebuah bukit yang diberi nama gunung Burangrang.
Sementara itu Dayangsumbi-pun memohon sang Hyang Tunggal untuk menolongnya, menggagalkan maksud Sangkuriang untuk memperistri dirinya.
Sang Hyang Tunggal mengabulkan permohonan Dayangsumbi, sebelum pekerjaan Sangkuriang selesai, ayampun berkokok dan fajar menyingsing. Sangkuriang murka, mengetahui ia gagal memenuhi syarat tersebut, ia menendang perahu yang sedang dibuatnya. Perahu akhirnya jatuh menelungkup dan menurut legenda kelak jadilah Gunung Tangkubanparahu, sementara aliran Sungai Citarum yang dibendung sedikit demi sedikit membentuk danau Bandung.

Legend of Minangkabau

Once upon a time, Javanese Majapahit soldiers came to West Sumatra to conquer the area. The locals challenged the Majapahit folks to a bullfight (bull vs bull). If the Javanese bull wins, they will happily become part of Majapahit. If locals' bull wins, the Majapahit soldiers must leave.

Confidently, the Majapahit soldiers brought a strong female buffalo with heavy horns. On the other side, the locals brought a small baby bull with knifes attached to its head. The Majapahit soldiers laughed at the small opponent. However, when the fight started, the baby bull immediately ran into the belly of the big female bull, trying to suck milk from her tits. In the process, the knifes attached to the baby bull's head disemboweled the big bull.

Ever since, the locals called their area Minangkabau (victory of the bull) and adopted the bull-shaped roof forms that is so characteristic of the area today.

Timun Mas

Long long time ago, there was a farmer couple. They were staying in a village near a forest. They lived happily. Unfortunately, they hadn’t had any children yet.

Every day they prayed to God for a child. One day a giant passed their home. He heard what they were praying. Then the giant gave them a cucumber seed.

"Plant this seed, then you’ll get a daughter,” said the giant. “Thank you, Giant,” said the couple. “But in one condition, in her 17-th birthday, you must give her to me,” said the Giant. The couple wanted a child so much that they agreed without thinking first.

Then the couple planted the cucumber seed. Each day they took care the growing plant so carefully. Months later, a golden cucumber grew from the plant. The cucumber was getting heavier and bigger each day. When it was ripe, they picked it. Carefully they cut out the cucumber and how surprised were they when they found a beautiful baby inside. They were so happy. They named the baby Timun Mas, or Golden Cucumber.

Years were passing by and Timun Mas had grown into a beautiful girl. Her parents were very proud of her. But their happiness turned to fear when her 17th birthday came. The giant returned to ask for their promise. He was going to take Timun Mas away.

The farmer tried to be calm. “Just a moment, please. Timun Mas is playing. My wife will call her,” he said. Then the farmer came to his daughter. “My child, take this,” as he was giving her a little bag to Timun Mas. “This will help you from the giant. Now, run as fast as you can,” he ordered. So Timun Mas ran away.

The couple was very sad about her leaving. But they didn’t want the giant to eat Timun Mas. Meanwhile, the giant had been waiting for too long. He became impatient. Somehow he knew that the couple had lied to him. So he destroyed their house and ran for Timun Mas.

The giant was chasing Timun Mas and he was getting closer and closer. Timun Mas then took a handful of salt from her little bag. She spread out the salt behind her. Suddenly a wide sea appeared between them. The giant had to swim to reach her

Timun Mas was still running, but now the giant almost caught her. Then she took some chilly and threw them to the giant. The chilly suddenly grew into some trees and trapped the giant. The trees grew some thorns as sharp as a knife. The giant screamed painfully. At the mean time, Timun Mas could escape again.

But the giant was very strong. Again he almost caught Timun Mas. So Timun Mas took the third magic stuff, the cucumber seeds. She threw the seeds and suddenly they became a wide cucumber field. The giant was very tired and hungry so he ate those fresh cucumbers. He ate too much that he felt sleepy and fell asleep soon.

Timun Mas kept on running as fast as she could. But soon she was very tired herself. To make things worse, the giant had woken up! Timun Mas was so scared. Desperately she then threw her last weapon, terasi (a kind of shrimp pasta). IT did a miracle again. The pasta became a big swamp. The giant fell into it but his hands almost reached Timun Mas. Suddenly the lake pulled him to the bottom. The giant panicked and he couldn’t breathe. At last he was drown.

Timun Mas was very relieved. She was safe now. Then she returned to her parents’ house. Her parents were of course very happy to see their daughter safe and sound. “Thanks God. You have saved my daughter,” they cried happily. From then on, Timun Mas lived happily with her parents with no fear anymore.

Timun Mas

Pada zaman dahulu, hiduplah sepasang suami istri petani. Mereka tinggal di sebuah desa di dekat hutan. Mereka hidup bahagia. Sayangnya mereka belum saja dikaruniai seorang anak pun.

Setiap hari mereka berdoa pada Yang Maha Kuasa. Mereka berdoa agar segera diberi seorang anak. Suatu hari seorang raksasa melewati tempat tinggal mereka. Raksasa itu mendengar doa suami istri itu. Raksasa itu kemudian memberi mereka biji mentimun.

"Tanamlah biji ini. Nanti kau akan mendapatkan seorang anak perempuan," kata Raksasa. "Terima kasih, Raksasa," kata suami istri itu. "Tapi ada syaratnya. Pada usia 17 tahun anak itu harus kalian serahkan padaku," sahut Raksasa. Suami istri itu sangat merindukan seorang anak. Karena itu tanpa berpikir panjang mereka setuju.

Suami istri petani itu kemudian menanam biji-biji mentimun itu. Setiap hari mereka merawat tanaman yang mulai tumbuh itu dengan sebaik mungkin. Berbulan-bulan kemudian tumbuhlah sebuah mentimun berwarna keemasan.

Buah mentimun itu semakin lama semakin besar dan berat. Ketika buah itu masak, mereka memetiknya. Dengan hati-hati mereka memotong buah itu. Betapa terkejutnya mereka, di dalam buah itu mereka menemukan bayi perempuan yang sangat cantik. Suami istri itu sangat bahagia. Mereka memberi nama bayi itu Timun Mas.

Tahun demi tahun berlalu. Timun Mas tumbuh menjadi gadis yang cantik. Kedua orang tuanya sangat bangga padanya. Tapi mereka menjadi sangat takut. Karena pada ulang tahun Timun Mas yang ke-17, sang raksasa datang kembali. Raksasa itu menangih janji untuk mengambil Timun Mas.

Petani itu mencoba tenang. "Tunggulah sebentar. Timun Mas sedang bermain. Istriku akan memanggilnya," katanya. Petani itu segera menemui anaknya. "Anakkku, ambillah ini," katanya sambil menyerahkan sebuah kantung kain. "Ini akan menolongmu melawan Raksasa. Sekarang larilah secepat mungkin," katanya. Maka Timun Mas pun segera melarikan diri.

Suami istri itu sedih atas kepergian Timun Mas. Tapi mereka tidak rela kalau anaknya menjadi santapan Raksasa. Raksasa menunggu cukup lama. Ia menjadi tak sabar. Ia tahu, telah dibohongi suami istri itu. Lalu ia pun menghancurkan pondok petani itu. Lalu ia mengejar Timun Mas ke hutan.

Raksasa segera berlari mengejar Timun Mas. Raksasa semakin dekat. Timun Mas segera mengambil segenggam garam dari kantung kainnya. Lalu garam itu ditaburkan ke arah Raksasa. Tiba-tiba sebuah laut yang luas pun terhampar. Raksasa terpaksa berenang dengan susah payah.

Timun Mas berlari lagi. Tapi kemudian Raksasa hampir berhasil menyusulnya. Timun Mas kembali mengambil benda ajaib dari kantungnya. Ia mengambil segenggam cabai. Cabai itu dilemparnya ke arah raksasa. Seketika pohon dengan ranting dan duri yang tajam memerangkap Raksasa. Raksasa berteriak kesakitan. Sementara Timun Mas berlari menyelamatkan diri.

Tapi Raksasa sungguh kuat. Ia lagi-lagi hampir menangkap Timun Mas. Maka Timun Mas pun mengeluarkan benda ajaib ketiga. Ia menebarkan biji-biji mentimun ajaib. Seketika tumbuhlah kebun mentimun yang sangat luas. Raksasa sangat letih dan kelaparan. Ia pun makan mentimun-mentimun yang segar itu dengan lahap. Karena terlalu banyak makan, Raksasa tertidur.

Timun Mas kembali melarikan diri. Ia berlari sekuat tenaga. Tapi lama kelamaan tenaganya habis. Lebih celaka lagi karena Raksasa terbangun dari tidurnya. Raksasa lagi-lagi hampir menangkapnya. Timun Mas sangat ketakutan. Ia pun melemparkan senjatanya yang terakhir, segenggam terasi udang. Lagi-lagi terjadi keajaiban. Sebuah danau lumpur yang luas terhampar. Raksasa terjerembab ke dalamnya. Tangannya hampir menggapai Timun Mas. Tapi danau lumpur itu menariknya ke dasar. Raksasa panik. Ia tak bisa bernapas, lalu tenggelam.

Timun Mas lega. Ia telah selamat. Timun Mas pun kembali ke rumah orang tuanya. Ayah dan Ibu Timun Mas senang sekali melihat Timun Mas selamat. Mereka menyambutnya. "Terima Kasih, Tuhan. Kau telah menyelamatkan anakku," kata mereka gembira.

Sejak saat itu Timun Mas dapat hidup tenang bersama orang tuanya. Mereka dapat hidup bahagia tanpa ketakutan lagi.

Long long ago there was a kingdom in West Java. The kingdom was ruled by a king. People called their king His Majesty Prabu. Prabu was a kind and wise king. No wonder if that country was prosperous. There's no hunger in this kingdom.

It was a very happy condition. But it was a pity that Prabu and his queen hadn't got any children. It made the royal couple very very sad. Some old men and women who was respected by Prabu suggested the king to adopt a child. But Prabu and the queen didn't agree. "No, thank you. But for us, our own daughter or son is better than adopted children."

The queen was very sad. She often cried. That was why Prabu decided to go. He went to the jungle. There he prayed to God. Everyday he begged for a child. His dream come true. A few months later, the queen got fregnant. All people in the kingdom felt happy. They sent many presents to the palace to express their happiness.

Nine months later a princess was born. People sent their presents again as a gift to a little princess. This baby grew as a beautiful teenager then.

Prabu and Queen loved their daughter so much. They gave what ever she wanted. It made Princess a very spoiled girl. When her wish couldn't be realized, she became very angry. She even said bad things often. A true princess wouldn't do that. Eventhough the princess behaved badly, her parents loved her, so did the people in that kingdom.

Day by day, the princess grew more beautiful. No girls couldn't compare with her. In a few days, Princess would be 17 years old. So, people of that kingdom went to palace. They brought many presents for her. Their presents gift were very beautiful. Prabu collected the presents. There were really many presents. Then Prabu stored them in a building. Some times he could take them to give to his people.

Prabu only took some gold and jewels. Then she brought them to the goldsmith. "Please make a beautiful necklace for my daughter," said Prabu. "My pleasure, Your Majesty," the goldsmith replied. The goldsmith worked with all his heart and his ability. He wanted to create the most beautiful necklace in the world because he loved his princess.

The birthday came. People gathered in the palace field. When Prabu and queen appeared, people welcomed them happily. Prabu and his wife waved to their beloved people. Cheers were louder and louder when the princess appeared with her fabulous pretty face. Everybody admired her beauty.

Prabu got up from his chair. A lady gave him a small and glamourous pillow. A wonderful necklace was on it. Prabu took that necklace. "My beloved daughter, today I give this necklace to you. This necklace is a gift from people in this country. They love you so much. They presented it for you to express their happiness, because you have growing to a woman. Please, wear this necklace," said Prabu.

Princess accepted the necklace. She looked at the necklace in a glance. "I don't want to accepted it! It's ugly!" shouted the princess. Then she threw the necklace. The beautiful necklace was broken. The gold and jewels were spread out on the floor

Everybody couldn't say anything. They never thought that their beloved princess would did that cruel thing. Nobody spoke. In their silence people heard the queen crying. Every woman felt sad and began crying too. Then everybody was crying.

Then there was a miracle. Earth was crying. Suddenly, from the under ground, a spring emerged. It made a pool of water. The palce was getting full. Soon the place became a big lake. The lake sank all of the kingdom.

Nowadays the water on that lake is not as full as before. There is only a small lake now. People called the lake "Talaga Warna". It is mean "Lake of Colour". It's located in Puncak, West Java. On a bright day, the lake is full of colour. So beautiful and amazing. These colors come from shadows of forest, plants, flowers, and sky arround the lake. But some people said that the colours are from the princess's necklace, which spreads at the bottom of the lake.

Terjemahan

Zaman dahulu, ada sebuah kerajaan di Jawa Barat. Negeri itu dipimpin oleh seorang raja. Prabu, begitulah orang memanggilnya. Ia adalah raja yang baik dan bijaksana. Tak heran, kalau negeri itu makmur dan tenteram. Tak ada penduduk yang lapar di negeri itu.

Semua sangat menyenangkan. Sayangnya, Prabu dan istrinya belum memiliki anak. Itu membuat pasangan kerajaan itu sangat sedih. Penasehat Prabu menyarankan, agar mereka mengangkat anak. Namun Prabu dan Ratu tidak setuju. "Buat kami, anak kandung adalah lebih baik dari pada anak angkat," sahut mereka.

Ratu sering murung dan menangis. Prabu pun ikut sedih melihat istrinya.. Lalu Prabu pergi ke hutan untuk bertapa. Di sana sang Prabu terus berdoa, agar dikaruniai anak. Beberapa bulan kemudian, keinginan mereka terkabul. Ratu pun mulai hamil. Seluruh rakyat di kerajaan itu senang sekali. Mereka membanjiri istana dengan hadiah.

Sembilan bulan kemudian, Ratu melahirkan seorang putri. Penduduk negeri pun kembali mengirimi putri kecil itu aneka hadiah. Bayi itu tumbuh menjadi anak yang lucu. Belasan tahun kemudian, ia sudah menjadi remaja yang cantik.

Prabu dan Ratu sangat menyayangi putrinya. Mereka memberi putrinya apa pun yang dia inginkan. Namun itu membuatnya menjadi gadis yang manja. Kalau keinginannya tidak terpenuhi, gadis itu akan marah. Ia bahkan sering berkata kasar. Walaupun begitu, orangtua dan rakyat di kerajaan itu mencintainya.

Hari berlalu, Putri pun tumbuh menjadi gadis tercantik di seluruh negeri. Dalam beberapa hari, Putri akan berusia 17 tahun. Maka para penduduk di negeri itu pergi ke istana. Mereka membawa aneka hadiah yang sangat indah. Prabu mengumpulkan hadiah-hadiah yang sangat banyak itu, lalu menyimpannya dalam ruangan istana. Sewaktu-waktu, ia bisa menggunakannya untuk kepentingan rakyat.

Prabu hanya mengambil sedikit emas dan permata. Ia membawanya ke ahli perhiasan. "Tolong, buatkan kalung yang sangat indah untuk putriku," kata Prabu. "Dengan senang hati, Yang Mulia," sahut ahli perhiasan. Ia lalu bekerja d sebaik mungkin, dengan sepenuh hati. Ia ingin menciptakan kalung yang paling indah di dunia, karena ia sangat menyayangi Putri.

Hari ulang tahun pun tiba. Penduduk negeri berkumpul di alun-alun istana. Ketika Prabu dan Ratu datang, orang menyambutnya dengan gembira. Sambutan hangat makin terdengar, ketika Putri yang cantik jelita muncul di hadapan semua orang. Semua orang mengagumi kecantikannya.

Prabu lalu bangkit dari kursinya. Kalung yang indah sudah dipegangnya. "Putriku tercinta, hari ini aku berikan kalung ini untukmu. Kalung ini pemberian orang-orang dari penjuru negeri. Mereka sangat mencintaimu. Mereka mempersembahkan hadiah ini, karena mereka gembira melihatmu tumbuh jadi dewasa. Pakailah kalung ini, Nak," kata Prabu.

Putri menerima kalung itu. Lalu ia melihat kalung itu sekilas. "Aku tak mau memakainya. Kalung ini jelek!" seru Putri. Kemudian ia melempar kalung itu. Kalung yang indah pun rusak. Emas dan permatanya tersebar di lantai.

Setiap orang yang berada di istana tak dapat berkata apa-apa. Tak seorang pun menyangka, Putri akan berbuat seperti itu. Tak seorang pun bicara. Suasana hening. Tiba-tiba terdengar tangisan Ratu. Tangisannya diikuti oleh semua orang.

Kemudian timbullah kejadian luar biasa, Bumi menangis.Tiba-tiba muncul mata air dari halaman istana. Mula-mula membentuk kolam kecil. Lalu istana mulai banjir. Istana pun dipenuhi air bagai danau. Lalu danau itu makin besar dan menenggelamkan istana.

Sekarang, danau itu disebut Talaga Warna. Danau itu berada di daerah puncak. Di hari yang cerah, kita bisa melihat danau itu penuh warna yang indah dan mengagumkan. Warna itu berasal dari bayangan hutan, tanaman, bunga-bunga, dan langit di sekitar telaga. Namun orang mengatakan, warna-warna itu berasal dari kalung Putri yang tersebar di dasar telaga.

The Story of Jokosambang

The Story of Jokosambang

Long ago there was an area named Japan, consisted of Japan Kulon and Japan Wetan. The capital of Japan Kulon was Penarip, and the capital of Japan Wetan was Damarsi, in Bangsal. The regent of Japan Kulon was Tumenggung Alap-Alap Ronggopramiyo, the descendant of Cinde Amoh from Banger, in Probolinggo. Cinde Amoh was the son of Kyahi Gede Pengging. Tumenggung Alap-Alap married Nyai Wiyu, the daughter of Kyahi Gede Sengguruh from Malang. Actually Kyahi Gede Sengguruh was the son of Raden Kusen Pecat Tondoterung who was the regent of Surabaya. Meanwhile, the regent of Japan Wetan was Tumenggung Prawiroseno who was still the descendant of Cinde Amoh.

The west side of Japan Kulon was an autonomous district called Wirosobo with Betek, Mojoagung as the capital. The regent of this district was Tumenggung Ronggopermono, or better known as Tumenggung Betek. Tumenggung Betek was the brother in law of the regent of Japan Kulon because he married Nyai Wiyu's sister.

From the marriage between Tumenggung Alap-Alap Ronggopramiyo and Nyai Wiyu, a son was born. He was named Buang. Since he was still a little boy, Buang was prepared to inherit his father's position as the regent of Japan Kulon. Unfortunately, a terrible thing happened. The regent of Japan Kulon received garwa paringan or a gift-bride from Jakatingkir, the Sultan of Pajang. The bride whose name was Raden Ayu Telasih was already three months pregnant when she was sent to Japan Kulon. The Sultan demanded that the unborn child would be the future regent of Japan Kulon if it would be a boy.

This condition certainly made Buang angry, so he planned to kill Raden Ayu Telasih. The regent of Japan Kulon was aware of this danger, and he moved Raden Ayu Telasih from Pugeran area to the place of the regent of Wirosobo in Mojoagung.

Later on, the child was born, and he was named Jokosambang. Buang continued his evil plan since he knew that the child was a boy.

With the help of supernatural criminals named Cluring and Clorong from Trowulan, the child was kidnapped successfully. When they arrived to a river called Kaligunting, one of the criminal heard the sound of someone emptying a rice pot by hitting it to the ground. He thought that it was already morning, and he was frightened, so he hid the child there. Jokosambang was later found by Rondo Kaligunting, and she was the one who brought him up.

A night later, the criminals went back to the place where they hid the child. They were so shocked to find out that the child was gone. The criminals immediately told Buang about it, so Buang figured out how to face every possibilities. In fact, the regent of Wirosobo also knew that Jokosambang was in danger.

Jokosambang was actually the son of the Sultan of Pajang. The Sultan knew what happened to his son, but he could not do anything because there was a changing in politics that caused the center government of Pajang to move to Mataram.

The Wirosobo district was weak, but it did not get any help from the Sultan of Pajang. This condition was benefited by Buang to launch an attack. The attack was conducted when there was a procession from Wirosobo to Japan Kulon to celebrate the succession of Jokosambang.

Japan Wetan was conquered first, then Japan Kulon and Wirosobo. Soon afterward, Buang crowned himself as Adipati Mirunggo.

Jokosambang's life ended tragically. He was captured at a swamp near Brantas River, and then he was killed. His body was thrown to the swamp, and finally it was found by a fisherman. The fisherman buried Jokosambang's body in a certain place. The place later was known as Jokosambang. The grave has been dug up, and the name Jalan Jokosambang was changed into Jalan Jagung Suprapto

Riwayat Jokosambang

Dahulukala daerah Mojokerto bernama Japan, terdiri dari Japan Kulon yang berpusat di Penarip dan Japan Wetan yang berpusat di Damarsi, Bangsal. Yang menjadi Bupati Japan Kulon adalah Tumenggung Alap-Alap Ronggopramiyo keturunan dari Cinde Amoh dari Banger, Probolinggo. Cinde Amoh adalah putra kyahi Gede Pengging. Tumenggung Alap-Alap Ronggopramiyo kemudian kawin dengan Nyai Wiyu putra Kyahi Gede Sengguruh di Malang sedangkan Kyahi Gede Sengguruh adalah putra Raden Kusen Pecat Tondoterung yang pada waktu itu menjadi adipati di Surabaya. Sementara yang menjadi bupati di Japan Wetan adalah Tumenggung Prawiroseno yang juga masih keturunan Cinde Amoh.

Daerah sebelah Barat Japan Kulon berdiri sendiri sebagai Kabupaten yang bernama Wirosobo dengan pusatnya di daerah Betek, Mojoagung. Yang menjadi bupati adalah Tumenggung Ronggopermono atau dikenal dengan nama Tumenggung Betek. Tumenggung Betek ini masih saudara ipar dengan bupati Japan Kulon karena ia mengawini saudara Nyai Wiyu.

Tersebutlah dari perkawinan Tumenggung Alap-Alap Ronggopramiyo dengan Nyai Wiyuh lahirlah seorang putra yang kemudian diberi nama Buang. Sejak kecil Buang dipersiapkan untuk pengganti ayahnya bupati Japan Kulon. Namun kemudian terjadi peristiwa yang tidak disangka-sangka. Bupati Japan Kulon mendadak menerima garwa paringan (kiriman calon istri) dari Jakatingkir yang menjadi Sultan Pajang. Garwa piringan yang bernama Raden Ayu Telasih ini sewaktu dikirim sudah dalam keadaan hamil 3 bulan. Sultan berpesan agar kelak bila bayi lahir laki-laki supaya ditunjuk sebagai pengganti bupati Japan Kulon. Dan tentu saja keadaan ini menyebabkan Buang sakit hati sehingga timbullah niat jahatnya untuk membunuh Raden Ayu Telasih. Bupati Japan Kulon melihat gelagat dan rencana jahat Buang terpaksa memindahkan istrinya yang semula dititipkan di daerah Pugeran ke tempat Bupati Wirosobo di Mojoagung.

Di kemudian hari ternyata jabang bayi lahir laki-laki dan diberi nama Joko Sambang. Rencana Buang tetap dilanjutkan setelah mendengar bahwa yang lahir adalah bayi laki-laki.

Dengan pertolongan brandal sakti dari daerah Trowulan yang bernama Cluring dan Clorong si bayi berhasil diculik. Sewaktu sampai di sebuah sungai yang bernama Kaligunting si brandal mendengar suara seseorang mengetrukkan bakul nasi. Dikiranya fajar telah tiba takut kesiangan maka bayi tersebut kemudian disembunyikan di situ. Akhirnya ditemukan oleh seorang yang dikenal dengan nama Rondo Kaligunting dan diasuhnya sampai dewasa.

Diceritakan brandal-brandal tersebut pada malam berikutnya menengok tempat disembunyikannya si bayi, betapa terkejutnya karena bayinya telah lenyap. Segera brandal-brandal sakti itu lapor pada Buang. Kemudian disusunnnya rencana untuk menghadapi segala kemungkinan. Perihal Jokosambang yang sedang dalam keadaan bahaya diketahui oleh Bupati Wirosobo.

Begitu pula Sultan Pajang juga mengetahui nasib putranya akan tetapi tidak dapat berbuat sesuatu karena adanya perubahan politik yang mengakibatkan berpindahnya pusat pemerintahan ke Mataram. Kelemahan Wirosobo yang tidak lagi mendapat dukungan Sultan Pajang kemudian dimanfaatkan oleh Buang untuk mengadakan penyerangan. Penyerangan dilaksanakan ketika berlangsung persiapan penobatan Jokosambang yang diarak dari Wirosobo ke Japan Kulon.

Japan Wetan berhasil ditaklukkan lebih dahulu kemudian berturut-turut Japan Kulon dan Wirosobo. Buang kemudian mengangkat dirinya dengan sebutan Adipati Mirunggo.

Nasib Jokosambang memang tragis. Ia tertangkap di sebuah rawa-rawa dekat sungai Brantas kemudian dibunuh. Mayat Jokosambang dilemparkan ke dalam rawa-rawa akhirnya ditemukan seorang nelayan pencari ikan yang menguburnya di suatu tempat yang dikenal dengan nama Jokosambang. Makam tersebut sudah cukup lama dibongkar bahkan nama Jokosambang telah diganti menjadi Jalan Jagung Suprapto.
