The Legend of the Kesodo Ceremony

Once upon a time on Mount Bromo, East Java, there was a couple living there. The
new couple wanted to have a child. They had married for a long time but they hadnt got a
baby. Every time they prayed to the Gods, asking for a child.
One day, there was a loud voice in the sky when they were praying.
You are going to born a baby, and later you will birth too many children. But I have
a requirement for you to obey, if you really want to have children, said the voice.
Whatever you ask, my Lord, the couple answered, We will do it,
You must sacrifice your first son for the gods.
The couple agreed to sacrifice their first son in the time that was asked by the voice.
Then, the wife got pregnant and gave birth to a son. The baby grew up into a handsome,
taught man. He was named Kesuma. The couple loved Kesuma very much. The wife gave
birth to eleven more children after Kesuma. And, they forget their promise to sacrifice their
first son to the god.
One day, the volcano erupted. Before that, there were series of earthquakes followed
by thunders in the sky. The sky was very dark, as if it was going to fall down. On the next
occasion, there was a voice in the sky, reminding the couple about their promise. The couple
was very afraid, but they just couldnt sacrifice their beloved son, Kesuma. However, because
the earthquakes and the thunders were becoming more and more horrifying, Kesuma couldnt
let his family and all the people in the village die.
Kesuma knew the situation. Then he said to his parents. I would sacrifice myself in
order that our family and all the people in our village will live in peace. For the next times,
you all have to sacrifice animals and crops to the gods. Then he jumped onto the crater of
the volcano. Amazingly, the earthquakes and the eruption stopped at once.

The Lion and the Mouse

Once when a Lion was asleep a little Mouse began running up and down on his face;
this soon wakened the Lion, who placed his huge paw upon him, and opened his big jaws to
swallow him. "Pardon, O King," cried the little Mouse: "forgive me this time, I shall never
forget it: who knows but I may be able to do you a turn someday?" The Lion was so tickled at
the idea of the Mouse being able to help him that he lifted up his paw and let him go.
Some time after the Lion was caught in a net, and the hunters who desired to carry
him alive to the King, tied him to a tree while they went in search of a wagon to carry him on.

him and soon gnawed away the ropes that bound the King of the Beasts, and then she said,

The town mouse and the country mouse

Once upon a time there was a mouse living in a country. He had a cousin who lived in
town. One day, he invited him to come to his home. Beans and bacon, cheese and bread, were
all he had to offer, but he offered them freely. The Town Mouse rather turned up his long nose
at this country fare, and said: "I cannot understand, Cousin, how you can put up with such
poor food as this, but of course you cannot expect anything better in the country; come with
me and I will show you how to live. When you have been in town a week you will wonder
how you could ever have stood a country life."
Soon, the two mice set off for the town and arrived at the Town Mouse's residence late
at night. "You will want some refreshment after our long journey," said the polite Town
Mouse, and took his friend into the grand dining-room. There they found the remains of a
fine feast, and soon the two mice were eating up jellies and cakes and all that was nice.
Suddenly they heard growling and barking. "What is that?" said the Country Mouse. "It is
only the dogs of the house," answered the other. "Only!" said the Country Mouse. "I do not
like that music at my dinner." Just at that moment the door flew open, in came two huge
mastiffs, and the two mice had to scamper down and run off. "Good-bye, Cousin," said the
Country Mouse, "What! Going so soon?" said the other. "Yes," he replied; "Better beans and
bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear."
