fair and the face was round, she was named
Bulan Kuning (Yellow Moon).

Suddenly, Bulan Kuning was separated from
her mother. She was very confused and
frightened. All of a sudden, she was caught
by a giantess, sang Raksasi. Bulan Kuning
trembled in fear. Luckily, though the catcher
was a giantess, Bulan Kuning was very
much loved by her.
The giantess was invincible because
she owned three kinds of amulets which
dealt with fire, water, and wind. As she loved
Bulan Kuning very much, she was told the
use of the amulets. When Sang Raksasi
was away, all the amulets were taken by
Bulan Kuning, but the giantess suddenly
appeared and chased Bulan Kuning. She
was almost caught by Sang Raksasi. Then
she threw the amulets at her and the
giantess soon died. Bulan Kuning was
amazed when she heard a voice from the
sky that she freed Sang Raksasis sins.
Sang Raksasi returned back to
heaven and became a goddess. Bulan
Kuning was then granted knowledge for
healing so that she could help ill people.
Finally, Bulan Kuning returned to her
mother, Men Bekung and other villagers.
