1. THE LEGEND OF RAWA PENING
Once upon a
time, there was a little poor boy came into a little village. He was very
hungry and weak. He knocked at every door and asked for some food, but nobody
cared about him. Nobody wanted to help the little boy.
Finally, a generous woman helped
him. She gave him shelter and a meal. When the boy wanted to leave, this old
woman gave him a “lesung”, a big wooden mortar for pounding rice. She reminded
him, “please remember, if there is a flood you must save yourself. Use this
“lesung” as a boat”. The “lesung” was happy and thanked the old woman.The
little boy continued his journey. While he was passing through the village, he
saw many people gathering on the field. The boy came closer and saw a stick
stuck in the ground. People challenged each other to pull out that stick.
Everybody tried, but nobody succeeded. “Can I try?” asked the little boy. The
crowd laughed mockingly. The boy wanted to try his luck so he stepped forward
and pulled out the stick. He could do it very easily. Everybody was
dumbfounded.
Suddenly, from the hole left by
stick, water spouted out. It did not stop until it flooded the village. And no
one was saved from the water except the little boy and the generous old woman
who gave him shelter and meal. As she told him, he used the “lesung” as a boat
and picked up the old woman. The whole village became a huge lake. It is now
known as Rawa Pening Lake in Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia.

slope of Mount Wayang in West Java. The King, named Sang Prabu, was a wise man.
He had an only daughter, called Princess Teja Nirmala, who was famous for her
beauty.However, she was not married. One day Sang Prabu made up his mind to
settle the matter by a show of strength .
After that, Prince of Blambangan, named Raden
Begawan, won the competition. Unfortunately, the wicked fairy, Princess
Segara,fell in love with Raden Begawan and used magic power to render him
unconscious and forget his wedding. When Sang Prabu was searching,Raden Begawan
saw the king and soon realized that he had been enchanted by the wicked fairy.
The fairy could not accept this, so she killed Raden Begawan. When Princess
Teja Nirmala heard this, she was very sad. So a nice fairy took her to the
Kahyangan.
The story goes that on certain moonlight nights, one can hear the sound of music in the air above from the top of the mountain. It indicates that Sang Prabu and his daughter have not met each other till dawn when it is time for them to part and to meet again on another moonligh.

4. THE BOY WHI CRIED WOLF
There was once a young shepherd boy who tended
his sheep at the foot of a mountain near a dark forest. 1 It was lonely for him
watching the sheep all day. No one was near, except for three farmers he could
sometimes see working in the fi elds in the valley below.
One day the boy thought of a plan that
would help him get a little company and have some fun. 3 He ran down toward the
valley crying, “Wolf! Wolf!”
The men ran to meet him, and after they
found out there was no wolf after all, one man remained to talk with the boy a
while.
The boy enjoyed the company so much that
a few days later he tried the same prank again, and again the men ran to help
him.
A few days later, a real wolf came from
the forest and began to steal the sheep. The startled 6 boy ran toward the
valley, and more loudly than ever he cried, “Wolf! Wolf!”.
But the men, who had been fooled twice
before, thought that the boy was tricking them again. So no one came to help
the boy save his sheep.
Moral: If you often don’t tell the truth, people won’t believe you even when you are telling the truth.
