The Legend of Telaga Pasir
Once upon time, there lived a couple called Kyai Pasir and his wife Nyai Pasir in the jungle of Lawu
Mountain, East Java. Kyai Pasir was a farmer. He worked in a field. Nyai Pasir just stayed at home. Every
day she cleaned up the house and cooked for them.
It was a beautiful morning when Kyai Pasir left the house and went to his field. While he was walking,
he stumbled upon something. He looked at it and was curious what it was. It looked like an egg, but it was
very big. He put the egg back to the ground.
When he was at home, Kyai Pasir told his wife about the egg. Nyai Pasir asked him to bring the egg
home so that they would eat it.
On the following day, when Kyai Pasir went to the field, he looked for the egg and found it. He then
brought it home. Nyai Pasir also wondered that the egg was very big. Then, she boiled it and they both ate
the egg.
They both felt fery full, and it made them very sleepy. Not long after that they fell a sleep. In the
morning Kyai and Nyai Pasir woke up as usual. Kyai Pasir took a bath, then he went to the field.
On the way to the field, he feld his body so uncomfortable. He felt itchy. He stretched his body.
Suddenly, he felt his throat so hot and very thirsty. He was so shocked! He saw his skin changing into
scales. A horn was growing on his head, and he also had a tail. He had changed into a dragon!
Maenwhile, at home Nyai Pasir also felt the same. She panicked and ran to the field to look for her
husband. When she arrived at the field, she saw a dragon moving his body on the ground.
Slowly Nyai Pasir also changed into a dragon. The two dragons were trying to walk, but they were too
weak to do that. They just could move their bodies on the ground. They moved their bodies so heavily that
it made a very big hole. The hole was getting deeper and deeper. Soon water came out of the hole. The
water came out very much, and it changed into a lake. Since then, people named the lake Telaga Pasir.

ways. Therefore, I didn’t have many friends.

my time to read computer books. I was very unhappy at that time, but I’m glad this happened because I
finally decided to become a professional programmer. Now I have beentrying to get my master degree in a
