 Bawang Merah Dan Bawang Putih

Jaman dahulu kala di sebuah desa tinggal sebuah keluarga yang terdiri dari Ayah, Ibu dan seorang
gadis remaja yang cantik bernama bawang putih. Mereka adalah keluarga yang bahagia. Meski
ayah bawang putih hanya pedagang biasa, namun mereka hidup rukun dan damai. Namun suatu
hari ibu bawang putih sakit keras dan akhirnya meninggal dunia. Bawang putih sangat berduka
demikian pula ayahnya. Di desa itu tinggal pula seorang janda yang memiliki anak bernama
Bawang Merah. Semenjak ibu Bawang putih meninggal, ibu Bawang merah sering berkunjung ke
rumah Bawang putih. Dia sering membawakan makanan, membantu bawang putih membereskan
rumah atau hanya menemani Bawang Putih dan ayahnya mengobrol. Akhirnya ayah Bawang putih
berpikir bahwa mungkin lebih baik kalau ia menikah saja dengan ibu Bawang merah, supaya
Bawang putih tidak kesepian lagi.

Dengan pertimbangan dari bawang putih, maka ayah Bawang putih menikah dengan ibu bawang
merah. Awalnya ibu bawang merah dan bawang merah sangat baik kepada bawang putih. Namun
lama kelamaan sifat asli mereka mulai kelihatan. Mereka kerap memarahi bawang putih dan
memberinya pekerjaan berat jika ayah Bawang Putih sedang pergi berdagang. Bawang putih harus
mengerjakan semua pekerjaan rumah, sementara Bawang merah dan ibunya hanya duduk-duduk
saja. Tentu saja ayah Bawang putih tidak mengetahuinya, karena Bawang putih tidak pernah
menceritakannya.

Suatu hari ayah Bawang putih jatuh sakit dan kemudian meninggal dunia. Sejak saat itu Bawang
merah dan ibunya semakin berkuasa dan semena-mena terhadap Bawang putih. Bawang putih
hampir tidak pernah beristirahat. Dia sudah harus bangun sebelum subuh, untuk mempersiapkan air
mandi dan sarapan bagi Bawang merah dan ibunya. Kemudian dia harus memberi makan ternak,
menyirami kebun dan mencuci baju ke sungai. Lalu dia masih harus menyetrika, membereskan
rumah, dan masih banyak pekerjaan lainnya. Namun Bawang putih selalu melakukan pekerjaannya
dengan gembira, karena dia berharap suatu saat ibu tirinya akan mencintainya seperti anak
kandungnya sendiri.

Pagi ini seperti biasa Bawang putih membawa bakul berisi pakaian yang akan dicucinya di sungai.
Dengan bernyanyi kecil dia menyusuri jalan setapak di pinggir hutan kecil yang biasa dilaluinya.
Hari itu cuaca sangat cerah. Bawang putih segera mencuci semua pakaian kotor yang dibawanya.
Saking terlalu asyiknya, Bawang putih tidak menyadari bahwasalah satu baju telah hanyut terbawa
arus. Celakanya baju yang hanyut adalah baju kesayangan ibu tirinya. Ketika menyadari hal itu,
baju ibu tirinya telah hanyut terlalu jauh. Bawang putih mencoba menyusuri sungai untuk
mencarinya, namun tidak berhasil menemukannya. Dengan putus asa dia kembali ke rumah dan
menceritakannya kepada ibunya

“Dasar ceroboh!” bentak ibu tirinya. “Aku tidak mau tahu, pokoknya kamu harus mencari baju itu!
Dan jangan berani pulang ke rumah kalau kau belum menemukannya. Mengerti?”

Bawang putih terpaksa menuruti keinginan ibun tirinya. Dia segera menyusuri sungai tempatnya
mencuci tadi. Mataharisudah mulai meninggi, namun Bawang putih belum juga menemukan baju
ibunya. Dia memasang matanya, dengan teliti diperiksanya setiap juluran akar yang menjorok ke
sungai, siapa tahu baju ibunya tersangkut disana. Setelah jauh melangkah dan matahari sudah
condong ke barat, Bawang putih melihat seorang penggembala yang sedang memandikan
kerbaunya. Maka Bawang putih bertanya: “Wahai paman yang baik, apakah paman melihat baju
merah yang hanyut lewat sini? Karena saya harus menemukan dan membawanya pulang.” “Ya tadi
saya lihat nak. Kalau kamu mengejarnya cepat-cepat, mungkin kau bisa mengejarnya,” kata paman
itu.
“Baiklah paman, terima kasih!” kata Bawang putih dan segera berlari kembali menyusuri. Hari
sudah mulai gelap, Bawang putih sudah mulai putus asa. Sebentar lagi malam akan tiba, dan
Bawang putih. Dari kejauhan tampak cahaya lampu yang berasal dari sebuah gubuk di tepi sungai.
Bawang putih segera menghampiri rumah itu dan mengetuknya.
“Permisi…!” kata Bawang putih. Seorang perempuan tua membuka pintu.
“Siapa kamu nak?” tanya nenek itu.

“Saya Bawang putih nek. Tadi saya sedang mencari baju ibu saya yang hanyut. Dan sekarang
kemalaman. Bolehkah saya tinggal di sini malam ini?” tanya Bawang putih.
“Boleh nak. Apakah baju yang kau cari berwarna merah?” tanya nenek.
“Ya nek. Apa…nenek menemukannya?” tanya Bawang putih.

“Ya. Tadi baju itu tersangkut di depan rumahku. Sayang, padahal aku menyukai baju itu,” kata
nenek. “Baiklah aku akan mengembalikannya, tapi kau harus menemaniku dulu disini selama
seminggu. Sudah lama aku tidak mengobrol dengan siapapun, bagaimana?” pinta nenek.Bawang
putih berpikir sejenak. Nenek itu kelihatan kesepian. Bawang putih pun merasa iba. “Baiklah nek,
saya akan menemani nenek selama seminggu, asal nenek tidak bosan saja denganku,” kata Bawang
putih dengan tersenyum.

Selama seminggu Bawang putih tinggal dengan nenek tersebut. Setiap hari Bawang putih
membantu mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah nenek. Tentu saja nenek itu merasa senang. Hingga
akhirnya genap sudah seminggu, nenek pun memanggil bawang putih.
“Nak, sudah seminggu kau tinggal di sini. Dan aku senang karena kau anak yang rajin dan berbakti.
Untuk itu sesuai janjiku kau boleh membawa baju ibumu pulang. Dan satu lagi, kau boleh memilih
satu dari dua labu kuning ini sebagai hadiah!” kata nenek.
Mulanya Bawang putih menolak diberi hadiah tapi nenek tetap memaksanya. Akhirnya Bawang
putih memilih labu yang paling kecil. “Saya takut tidak kuat membawa yang besar,” katanya.
Nenek pun tersenyum dan mengantarkan Bawang putih hingga depan rumah.

Sesampainya di rumah, Bawang putih menyerahkan baju merah milik ibu tirinya sementara dia
pergi ke dapur untuk membelah labu kuningnya. Alangkah terkejutnya bawang putih ketika labu itu
terbelah, didalamnya ternyata berisi emas permata yang sangat banyak. Dia berteriak saking
gembiranya dan memberitahukan hal ajaib ini ke ibu tirinya dan bawang merah yang dengan
serakah langsun merebut emas dan permata tersebut. Mereka memaksa bawang putih untuk
menceritakan bagaimana dia bisa mendapatkan hadiah tersebut. Bawang putih pun menceritakan
dengan sejujurnya.

Mendengar cerita bawang putih, bawang merah dan ibunya berencana untuk melakukan hal yang
sama tapi kali ini bawang merah yang akan melakukannya. Singkat kata akhirnya bawang merah
sampai di rumah nenek tua di pinggir sungai tersebut. Seperti bawang putih, bawang merah pun
diminta untuk menemaninya selama seminggu. Tidak seperti bawang putih yang rajin, selama
seminggu itu bawang merah hanya bermalas-malasan. Kalaupun ada yang dikerjakan maka
hasilnya tidak pernah bagus karena selalu dikerjakan dengan asal-asalan. Akhirnya setelah
seminggu nenek itu membolehkan bawang merah untuk pergi. “Bukankah seharusnya nenek
memberiku labu sebagai hadiah karena menemanimu selama seminggu?” tanya bawang merah.
Nenek itu terpaksa menyuruh bawang merah memilih salah satu dari dua labu yang ditawarkan.
Dengan cepat bawang merah mengambil labu yang besar dan tanpa mengucapkan terima kasih dia
melenggang pergi.
Sesampainya di rumah bawang merah segera menemui ibunya dan dengan gembira memperlihatkan
labu yang dibawanya. Karena takut bawang putih akan meminta bagian, mereka menyuruh bawang
putih untuk pergi ke sungai. Lalu dengan tidak sabar mereka membelah labu tersebut. Tapi ternyata
bukan emas permata yang keluar dari labu tersebut, melainkan binatang-binatang berbisa seperti
ular, kalajengking, dan lain-lain. Binatang-binatang itu langsung menyerang bawang merah dan
ibunya hingga tewas. Itulah balasan bagi orang yang serakah.
 The Legend of Nyi Roro Kidul

Purportedly, Nyi Roro Kidul is a beautiful queen like nymphs. Her beauty never faded in all days.
At the base south of the sea, the ocean which first called the Indian Ocean, South of Java Island, she
governed a royal delicate creature kingdom that is very large and beautiful.

According to the story, long time ago, there is a beautiful woman, named Kadita. For her beauty,
she was often called Dewi Srengenge, which means the fairest Sun. Kadita is a daughter of king
Munding Wangi. Although Kadita has very beautiful face, the king was still upset because he did
not have a son who can be prepared for being the next king. After the king got married with Dewi
Mutiara, there was born a baby boy. However, after getting much attention, Dewi Mutiara started
asking many demands, such as making sure their children will be the man who will replace the king
and the Dewi Kadita must be expelled from the palace. The first request was fulfilled, but the King
was not willing to expel Dewi Kadita.

“I can’t accept it!”, Dewi Mutiara said.

“I can’t fulfil your evil request.” The king said.

Knowing the answer of the king, Dewi Mutiara smiled sweetly, so that the king’s anger is slowly
disappeared. But, she had a revenge in her heart.

The next morning, Dewi Mutiara asked her babysitter to call a witch. His name was Jahil. She
commanded him to send witchcraft to Dewi Kadita. Jahil accepted he command. When Dewi
Kadita was sleeping tightly, wind entered her room. The wind smelt bad, like carcase. When Kadit
woke up, she was shocked that her body was full of scab and it smelt bad.

The King Munding Wangi heard that news. He was really sad. He knew that what Kadita suffered
was not a common disease but that was witchcraft. He assumed that Dewi Mutiara who planned it.
However, it was difficult to prove. He had to decide in the dizzy condition. He was confused what
to do with Kadita. Due to the insistence of his advisor, her daughter had to be banished in order not
to be a disgrace.

Then, Kadita went alone like a beggar who was shoed from rich people’s house. Her heart was
broken. She cried. But, she still believed that God would not let her be abused by the others. God’s
help would come soon and she was not allowed to hate and have revenge in her heart as her

grandmother ever told her.

Night and day, she walked and it was already the seventh night that she went through until she

arrived at South Sea Beach. She stood up and saw the breadth of the sea and she was like hearing a

voice who asked her to go into the sea. When she followed that voice and her body touched the

water, her body was recovered. She became a beautiful woman like before. Not only that, she

would govern the sea and establish a great and beautiful kingdom. Now, she is called as Ratu Laut

Selatan (Queen of South Sea).

Allegedly, Nyi Roro Kidul is a troll who had great power. Until now, there are still people who

want to be rich by a shortcut that is doing worship to Nyi Roro Kidul. They got a lot of money but

they had to sacrifice their family to be a slave in South Sea Kingdom.

 Legenda Nyi Roro Kidul

Konon, Nyi Roro Kidul adalah seorang ratu yang cantik seperti bidadari. Kecantikannya tidak

pernah pudar dalam selamanya. Di dasar laut selatan, laut yang pertama kali disebut Samudra

Hindia, selatan Pulau Jawa, ia memerintah terhadap makhluk halus dari sebuah kerajaan yang

sangat besar dan indah.

Menurut cerita, pada zaman dahulu, ada seorang wanita cantik bernama Kadita. Untuk

kecantikannya, ia sering disebut Dewi Srengenge, yang artinya matahari paling adil. Kadita adalah

putri Raja Munding Wangi. Meskipun Kadita memiliki wajah yang sangat cantik, raja masih kesal

karena ia tidak memiliki seorang putra yang bisa disiapkan untuk menjadi raja berikutnya. Setelah

raja menikah dengan Dewi Mutiara, lahirlah bayi laki-laki. Namun, setelah mendapatkan banyak

perhatian, Dewi Mutiara mulai mengajukan banyak tuntutan, seperti memastikan anak-anak mereka

akan menjadi orang yang akan menggantikan raja dan Dewi Kadita harus diusir dari istana.

Permintaan pertama terpenuhi, tapi Raja tidak mau mengusir Dewi Kadita.

“Saya tidak bisa menerimanya!”, Kata Dewi Mutiara.

“Aku tidak bisa memenuhi permintaan yang jahat.” Kata Raja.

Mengetahui jawaban dari raja, Dewi Mutiara tersenyum manis, sehingga kemarahan raja perlahan

menghilang. Tapi, dia memiliki dendam di hatinya.

Keesokan paginya, Dewi Mutiara meminta pengasuh untuk menelepon penyihir. Namanya Jahil.

Dia memerintahkan Jahil untuk mengirim santet kepada Dewi Kadita. Jahil menerima perintahnya.

Ketika Dewi Kadita sedang tidur erat, angin masuk ke kamarnya. Angin tersebut berbau busuk,

seperti bangkai. Ketika Kadit terbangun, ia terkejut bahwa tubuhnya penuh kudis dan berbau busuk.
Raja Munding Wangi mendengar berita itu. Dia benar-benar sedih. Dia tahu bahwa apa yang

diderita Kadita bukan penyakit yang umum tapi itu sihir. Dia menganggap bahwa Dewi Mutiara

yang merencanakannya. Namun, itu sulit untuk dibuktikan. Dia harus memutuskan dalam kondisi

yang buruk. Ia bingung apa yang harus dilakukan dengan Kadita. Karena desakan penasihat,

putrinya harus dibuang agar tidak menjadi aib.

Kemudian, Kadita pergi sendirian seperti seorang pengemis yang diusir dari rumah orang kaya.

Hatinya hancur. Dia menangis. Tapi, ia masih percaya bahwa Tuhan tidak akan membiarkan dia

dipermainkan oleh orang lain. Pertolongan Tuhan akan segera datang dan dia tidak diizinkan untuk

membenci dan membalas dendam di hatinya sebagaimana neneknya pernah memberitahunya.

Malam hari, ia berjalan dan itu sudah malam ketujuh ia pergi melalui sampai ia tiba di pantai laut

selatan. Dia berdiri dan melihat luasnya laut dan dia seperti mendengar suara yang memintanya

untuk pergi ke laut. Ketika dia mengikuti suara itu dan tubuhnya menyentuh air, tubuhnya pulih.

Dia menjadi seorang wanita cantik seperti sebelumnya. Tidak hanya itu, dia akan mengatur laut dan

membangun kerajaan yang besar dan indah. Sekarang, dia disebut sebagai Ratu Laut Selatan.

Diduga, Nyi Roro Kidul adalah troll yang memiliki kekuatan besar. Sampai saat ini, masih ada

orang-orang yang ingin menjadi kaya dengan jalan pintas yang melakukan ibadah ke Nyi Roro

Kidul. Mereka punya banyak uang tetapi mereka harus mengorbankan keluarga mereka menjadi

budak di Kerajaan Laut Selatan.

 Cerita Legenda Batu Menangis

Once upon a time, there was an old widow who lived in a small house on the top of a hill with her
beautiful daughter. The old widow is so poor that she must work hard every day. She collected dry
woods in the jungle and sold them in the market once a week. She wanted to make her daughter
happy so she worked harder and harder every single day. 

The girl, the old widow’s daughter, was surely beautiful. Every man could easily fall in love if they
saw her face. Unfortunately she had a very bad attitude. The girl was very lazy and never helped
her mother. Every day she just primped and looked at the mirror to admire her own beauty. She was
also spoiled girl. All of his requests must be obeyed even though her mother was poor old lady.

Like usual, in every week end, the old widow went down to the market to sell dry woods. This
time, her daughter wanted to go with her too. She wanted to buy new clothes. The old widow was
happy to see her own daughter went with her together to the market. The old widow also planned to
use the money she got from selling the wood to buy new clothes for her daughter. She was truly
wanted to see her daughter happy.

The market was so far from their house. They should walk down the hill and pass a village. The girl
wore nice clothes and dress up so the people who saw her will be admiring her beauty. In contrary,
her mother wore dirty clothes with a basket full of dry wood on her back. She wanted that her
mother to walk behind her so that people would think that she was not her mother. The girl cannot
accept if people in the village know that the old widow was her mother. Indeed, none know that the
girl and the old widow were mother and daughter because they lived alone on the top of hill.

When they began to enter the village, all the people who passed by were looking at them. They
were so fascinated by the beauty of the girl. They could not resist to look at her beautiful face.
However, when people saw an old lady who walked behind her, it was so contrastive. It made
people to wonder who the old dirty lady behind her was. Among those who saw it, a young man
approached and asked her, "Hey, pretty girl. Is that your mother behind you? "

"No," the girl said arrogantly. "She is my servant!"

The old lady could understand why her own daughter said so. She only blamed herself that she
could not be the mother that her daughter wanted. The old lady only kept silent and continued the
journey. Not far away from there, a young man approached again and asked the girl the same
question.

"Hi sweetheart. Is it your mother who walks behind you? "

Again the girl rejected the fact by saying no the old widow was her mother. "No, no, she is not my
mother," said the girl. "She is my slave!"
The same questions continued repeatedly several times. And the girl always answered the questions
by telling that the old widow was not her mother. The first, second, and the third ones, the old
widow could accept it. However when it went along several times, it made the old widow sad. It
hurt the old lady so much that her own daughter did not admit that she was her mother. The silent
turned to sadness. The sadness turned to madness. And when a mother was mad, a bad thing would
follow. Finally, the poor old widow cannot resist anymore. The old widow prayed to the God to
punish her rebellious daughter.

"Oh my God, I was not able to resist this insult. How come my own daughter treat her own mother
like this. Yes, God punish this rebellious child! Punish her.... "

On the power of God Almighty, slowly her body was turned to stone. The change starts from the
feet. When the change has reached half of the body, the girl was crying asking forgiveness to her
mother.

"Oh, my mother, please forgive me. Forgive what I have done to you. Please, mother. I will change,
mother. Please forgive your daughter, your only daughter," cry the girl.

The girl continued to wail and cry pleading with his mother. However, everything was too late. The
whole body of the girl was eventually turned into stone. Even when she turned into stone, people
still can see the tears. The stone cries. Therefore, people begin to call it "Crying Stone or Batu
Menangis".
 Batu Menangis

Suatu ketika, tersebutlah seorang janda tua yang tinggal di sebuah rumah kecil di atas bukit
bersama dengan anak perempuannya yang cantik. Si janda tua tersebut sangatlah miskin
sehingga dia harus bekerja keras setiap hari. Dia mengumpulkan kayu kering di hutan dan
menjualnya di pasar seminggu sekali. Dia sangat ingin melihat anaknya perempuannya
bahagia untuk itu dia bekerja lebih keras dan lebih keras setiap hari. 

Si gadis, anak perempuan si janda tua, adalah gadis yang benar-benar cantik. Setiap lelaki
dapat dengan mudah jatuh cinta jika mereka melihat wajahnya. Sayangnya dia memiliki sifat
yang sangat buruk. Si gadis tersebut sangat malas dan tidak pernah mau membantu ibunya.
Setiap hari kerjanya hanya bersolek diri dan bercermin untuk mengagumi kecantikannya
sendiri. Dia juga anak yang sangat manja. Semua permintaanya harus dikabulkan meskipun
ibunya adalah wanita tua yang miskin.

Seperti biasa, di setiap akhir pecan, si janda tua akan pergi ke pasar untuk untuk menjual
kayu kering yang dia sudah kumpulkan. Kali ini, anak perempuanya ingin ikut pergi
bersamanya juga. Dia ingin membli pakaian baru. Si janda tua sangat bahagia melihat anaknya
ingin pergi bersama-sama dengannya ke pasar. Si janda tua juga berencana menggunakan
uang yang dia terima dari hasil menjual kayu kering untuk membeli baju baru untuk anaknya.
Dia benar-benar ingin melihat anak perempuannya bahagia.

Letak pasarnya sangat jauh dari rumah mereka. Meraka harus menuruni bukit dan melewati
sebuah desa. Si gadis memakai baju yang sangat bagus dan juga berdandan supaya orang-
orang yang melihatnya akan terpesona akan kecantikanya. Sebaliknya, ibunya hanya
memakai baju lamga yang kotor dengan keranjang penuh kayu kering dipunggungnya. Dia
ingin ibunya berjalan dibelakangnya sehingga orang-orang akan mengira bahwa dia bukan
ibunya. Si gadis tidak bisa terima jika orang-oran di desa mengetahui bawah si janda tua
tersebut adalah ibunya. Memang, tak seorang pun tahu bahwa si gadis dan si janda tua adalah
anak dan ibu karena mereka tinggal sendiri di atas bukit.

Ketika mereka memasuki desa, semua orang yang lewat menatap mereka. Mereka begitu
terpesonda akan kecantikan si gadis itu. Mereka tidak bisa menolak untuk tetap menatap
wajahnya yang cantik. Namun, ketika orang-orang tersebut melihat wanita tua yang berjalan
dibelakangnya, mereka merasa sangat berbeda. Hal itu membuat mereka bertanya-tanya
siapa sebenarnya wanita tua kontor dibelakangnya. Diantara orang-orang tersebu, seorang
lelaki muda menghampirinya dan bertanya, “Hey, gadis cantik. Apakah itu ibu mu dibelakang
mu?”

“Bukan,” si gadis berkata dengan angkuh. “Dia adalah pembantuku!”

Janda tua itu masih bisa memahami mengapa anak perempuanya berkata seperti itu. Dia
hanya bisa menyalahkan dirinya sendiri karena dia tidak bisa menjadi ibu seperti yang
diinginkan anaknya. Si janda tua tersebut tetap diam dan melanjutkan perjalananya. Tidak
jauh dari situ, pria muda yang lain mengampiri dan bertanya pada si gadis pertanyaan yang
sama.

“Hi, sayang. Apakah dia adalah ibu mu?”

Lagi, si gadi itu menolak fakta dengan berkata tidak bawah si jada tua tersebut adalah ibunya.
“Bukan, bukan, dia bukan ibu ku,” kata si gadis. “Dia adalah budak ku!”

Pertanyaan yang sama berlanjut berualng-ulang beberapa kali. Dan si gadis selalu menjawab
pertanyaan-pertanyaan tersebut dengan memberitahu bawah si janda tua tersebut bukanlah
ibunya. Yang pertama, yang kedua, ya ketiga, si janda tua masih bisa menerimanya. Akan
tetapi, ketika hal tersebut terus berlanjut, hal itu membuat si janda tua sedih. Apa yang
dilakukan anaknya sangat menyakiti hati si janda tua tersebut

dengan tidak mengakui bahwa dia adalah ibunya. Diam berganti kesedihan. Kesedihan
berganti kemarahan. Dan ketika seorang ibu marah, hal buruk akan mengikuti. Akhirnya, si
janda malang tersebut tidak dapat menahanya lagi.

“Ya Tuhan ku, hamba tidak kuta menahan hinaan ini lagi. Bagaiman mungkin anak hamba
sendiri memperlakukan ibunya seperti itu. Ya, Tuhan tolong hukum anak durhaka ini!
Hukumlah dia…”

Dengan kekuatan Tuhan yang kuasa, secara berlahan tubuhnya berubah menjadi batu.
Perubahan tersebut dimulai dari kaki. Ketika perubahan tersebut mencapai setengah
tubunya, si gadis tersebut menaing dan meminta ampunan pada ibunya.

“Oh, ibu ku, mohon ampunilah aku Ampuni apa yang telah aku berbuat pada mu. Ku mohon,
ibu. Aku akan berubah, ibu. Ku mohon ampunilah anak mu ini, anak perempuan ibu satu-
satunya,” tangis si gadis.

Anak gadis itu terus meratap dan menangis memohon kepada ibunya. Akan tetapi, semuanya
telah terlambat. Seluruh tubuh gadis itu akhirnya berubah menjadi batu. Sekalipun menjadi
batu, namun orang dapat melihat ari matanya. Batu tersebut menaing. Oleh karena itu,orang-
orang kemudian memenyebutnya “Batu Menangis”.
 A Golden Snail
Once upon a time, there was a king named Kertamarta, a king of a peaceful and prosperous
kingdom named Daha. Kertamarta was a wise king and led his kingdom in fair. That was why the
kingdom of Daha grew and developed prosperously. Kertamarta had two beautiful daughters; they
were Dewi Galuh and Chandra Kirana.

Hearing about two beautiful princesses in Daha kingdom made Raden Inu Kertapati of Kahuripan
kingdom wanted to visit. He was looking for a kind and beautiful girl to be married. Raden Inu
Kertapati’s intention to marry one of his daughters made Kertamarta happy. The marriage between
his daughter and Raden Inu Kertapati would make the bond between Daha and Kahuripan stronger
than ever. Moreover, Raden Inu Kertapati was a kind and wise man. 

When Raden Inu Kertapati arriaved at Daha palace, he was placed in the hall where the two
princesses were waiting. In there, Raden Inu Kertapati saw two princesses which their beauty was
incomparable. Carefully, Raden Inu Kertapati observed the princesses to select one of them. After
thinking for a while, Raden Inu Kertapati chose Candra Kirana as his fiancée.  Kertamarta agreed
and approved the decision that Raden Inu Kertapati made.

Candra Kirana was very happy that Raden Inu Kertapati chose her to be his fiancée. On the other
hand, Dewi Galuh envied her sister because she felt that she was more appropriate to be Raden Inu
Kertapati’s fiancée than Candra Kirana. Dewi Galuh did not accept the decision. Instead, she
planned to get rid of Chandra Kirana out of the palace.

In the next day, Dewi Galuh asked for help to an evil witch who lived in forest. She asked the witch
to curse Chandra Kirana into something terrible. Dewi Galuh was asked to put poison the witch
gave into Candra Kirana’s dinner. Dawi Galuh did what the witch asked. And when Candra Kirana
woke up in the next morning, she found all of her body was full of red spots. She screamed and
scared. She looked so terrible and disgusting. 

Seeing the poison that the witch gave worked well, Dewi Galuh then spread a false issue to the
people in the palace that Candra Kirana was cured by God because she did something terrible. Dewi
Galuh also convinced her father to send Candra Kirana off the palace. Initially, Kertamarta did not
believe the issue. However, it was leak and spread in the whole of the kingdom. Kertamarta did not
have any option except to expel Candra Kirana out of the palace.

Candra Kirana did not know where to go. All her life was spent in the palace. She also did not
know what to do. She was so sad. In the other hand, Dewi Galuh was very happy. She finally
managed to get rid of Candra Kirana. However, Dewi Galuh’ plan have not end yet. She wanted
Candra Kirana was gone forever and never came back to the palace. Dewi Galuh then ordered the
witch to make Candra Kirana disappeared. As it had ordered, the witch followed Candra Kirana
when she walked in the bank of the river. And when there were no witness, the witch cursed Candra
Kirana into a snail, a golden snail, which then she threw it into the river.

In other place, there lived an old lady in a village called Dadapan. Dadapan was located in the
border of Kingdom of Daha, quite far from the palace. The old lady lived alone in the cottage near a
river. Every day, she went to the river to fish. That day, she was lucky. She got plenty of fishes and
among them there was a golden snail. Some of the fishes she got were brought to the market, and
the rest was brought to her home. When the old lady got home, she prepared to cook some fishes
including the golden snail. However, when she looked at the golden snail, there was something
strange in it.

Somehow, she spared the golden snail with other fishes and put it into small bucket. The old lady
wanted to keep it as a pet.

In the next day, like usual, the old lady went to the river to fish in the morning.  And after fishing
all day, she went home in the afternoon. When she got home, she was surprised to see that her
cottage was clean and neat, and there was food in the table. She wondered who was doing all of
this. The same strange things also happened the day after that. Filling with curiosity, the old lady
decided to come back early and peered through the crack in the window of her cottage. She saw the
snail she kept transformed into a beautiful girl. The girl is the one who cleaned the cottage and
cooked a meal for her.

The old lady was astounded to see what she had just seen. She then decided to get inside and asked
who the girl was. The girl could not do anything, expect telling the truth. The girl told that she was
Chandra Kirana, a princess of Daha Kingdom who was cursed by her own sister. Chandra Kirana
explained that the curse will be removed if there was a man who loved her as she was. After
explaining who she was, Candra Kirana transformed back into a golden snail.

Meanwhile, Raden Inu Kertapati could not accept the fact that Chandra Kirana was gone. He
decided to go looking for her. Raden Inu Kertapati wandered and asked people he met about
Chandra Kirana. However, none could give the answer. One day, when Raden Inu Kertapati
reached the border of Daha Kingdom, he met an old man who begged for food and water. Without
further thought, Raden Inu Kertapati gave his lunch to the old man. And as usual, Raden Inu
Kertapati asked the old man about Chandra Kirana. The old man was not ordinary man. He was a
hermit with a divine power. The old man told Raden Inu Kertapati where Candra Kirana actually
was. He said that Candra Kirana was in a village called Dadapan.

Without wasting the time, Raden Inu Kertapati went to the village which was located far away from
where he was. After several days riding his horse, Raden Inu Kertapati arrived to the village. He
was so hungry and thirsty after riding a horse several days without a rest.  When he saw a small
cottage near a river, he decided to approach it to ask for food and water.  Raden Inu Kertapati was
surprised to see the girl he was looking for was cooking in the kitchen of the cottage. Raden Inu
Kertapati was happy to see Candra Kirana again and Candra Kirana was happy too to see the man
who truly loved her came to look for her. The curse was removed. Candra Kirana would not
transformed back into a golden snail anymore.

Raden Inu Kertapati and Candra Kirana decided to go back to Daha Kingdom after saying good bye
to the old lady. In the Daha kingdom, Candra Kirana and Raden Inu Kertapati told everything to
Kertamarta, the king. Hearing the story, King Kertamerta was very angry. He commanded to give
sincere punishment to Dewi Galuh. Dewi Galuh was sent away from the kingdom because of what
she did. Finally, Raden Inu Kertapati and Candra Kirana were married. They also invited the old
lady who helped Candra Kirana to live togather in the palace. Raden Inu Kertapati and Candra
Kirana lived happily ever after.
 CERITA LEGENDA KEONG MAS
Dahulu kala, tersebutlah seorang raja bernama Kertamarta dari Kerajaan yang damai dan makmur
bernama Daha. Raja Kertamarta merupakan raja yang bijak dan memimpin kerajaannya dengan
adil. Itu lah mengapa Kerajaan Daha tumbuh dan berkembang sangat makmur. Raja Kertamarta
mempunyai 2 orang putri, namanya Dewi Galuh dan Candra Kirana yang memiliki kecantikan luar
biasa.  

Mendengar kabar tentang dua puteri cantik di kerajaan Daha membuat Raden Inu Kertapati dari
Kerajaan Kahuripan ingin berkunjung. Maksud hati, Raden Inu Kertapati ingin mencari calon
permaisuri untuk pendamping hidupnya kelak. Maksud dan kedatangan Raden Inu Kertapati pun
disambut bahagia oleh Raja Kertamarta. Pernikahan antara anaknya kelak akan membuat hubungan
Kerajaan Daha dan Kerajaan Kahuripan semakin kokoh. Apalagi, Raden Inu Kertapati terkenal
akan ketampanan dan kebijaksanaannya. 

Ketika Raden Inu Kertapati tiba di istana Daha, dia ditempatkan di sebuah ruangan dimana dua
puteri tersebut sedang menunggu. Di sana, Raden Inu Kertapati melihat dua puteri cantik yang
kecantiknyanya tidak tertandingi. Dengan cermat, Raden Inu Kertapati mengamati puteri-puteri
tersebut untuk memilih satu diantaranya. Setelah berpikir sejenak, Raden Inu Kertapati memilih
Candra Kirana sebagai tunangannya. Kertamerta setuju dan menyetujui keputusan yang dibuat
Raden Inu Kertapati.

Candra Kirana sangat senang sekali bahwa Raden Inu Kertapati memilihnya sebagai tunangannya.
Di lain sisi, Dewi Galuh iri pada saudarinya karena dia merasa dia lah yang paling tepat untuk
menjadi tunangan Raden Inu Kertapati dari pada candra Kirana. Dewi Galuh tidak menerima
keputusan tersebut. Malahan, dia berencana untuk mengusir Candra Kirana dari istana.

Di keesokan harinya, Dewi Galuh meminta pertolongan penyihir jahat yang tinggal di hutan. Dia
meminta penyihir tersebut untuk mengutuk Candra Kirana mengidap penyakit yang menjijikan.
Dewi Galuh kemudian diminta untuk menaruh racun yang diberikan penyihir tersebut kedalam
makan malam Candra Kirana. Dewi Galuh malakukan apa yang penyihir itu perintahkan. Dan
ketika Candra Kirana bangun di pagi harinya, dia terkejut melihat seluruh tubuhnya dipenuhi oleh
bintik-bintik merah. Dia menjerit ketakutan. Dia terlihat sangat menjijikan.

Melihat racun yang diberikan penyihir itu bekerja dengan baik, Dewi Galuh kemudian
menyebarkan isu palsu kepada orang-orang di istana bahwa Candra Kirana telah dikutuk Dewa
karena dia melakukan sesuatu yang buruk. Dewi Galuh juga meyakinkan ayahnya untuk mengusir
Candra Kirana dari istana. Pada awalnya Kertamerta tidak percaya dengan isu tersebut. Akan tetapi,
isu tersebut bocor dan menyebar ke seluruh kerajaan. Kertamerta tidak memiliki pilihan lain selain
mengusir Candra Kirana dari istana.

Candra Kirana tidak tahu harus pergi kemana. Semasa hidupnya dia habiskan hanya di istana. Dia
juga tidak tahu apa yang harus diperbuat. Dia sangat sedih. Di lain sisi, Dewi Galuh sangat
gembira. Dia akhirnya berhasil mengusir Candra Kirana. Tetapi, rencana jahat Dewi Galuh tidak
berhenti sampai disitu. Dia ingin Candra Kirana menghilang untuk selama-lamanya dan jangan
pernah kembali ke istana. Dewi Galuh kemudian menyuruh penyihir jahat tadi untuk membuat
Candra Kirana menghilang. Seperti yang telah diperintahkan, penyihir tersebut membuntuti Candra
Kirana saat dia berjalan di tepi sungai. Dan ketika tidak ada orang yang melihat, penyihir tersebut
merubah Candra Kirana menjadi seekor keong, seekor keong emas, yang kemudian dia lempar ke
sungai.
Di tempat lain, hiduplah seorang nenek tua yang tinggal di sebuah desa bernama Dadapan. Dadapan
berlokasi di perbatasan Kerajaan Daha, cukup jauh dari istana. Nenek tua tersebut hidup sendiri di
sebuah gubuk di dekat sungai. Setiap hari, dia pergi ke sungai untuk memancing. Hari itu, dia
sangat beruntung. Dia mendapatkan banyak ikan dan diantara tangkapannya terdapat seekor keong
emas. Sebagian dari ikan yang ia tangkap, ia bawa ke pasar, dan sisanya ia bawa kerumah. Ketika
nenek tersebut tiba di rumah, dia bersiap untuk memasak beberpa ikan termasuk keong emas
tersebut. Akan tetapi, ketika dia melihat ke keong emas tersebut, ada sesuatu yang ada padanya.
Tidak tahu mengapa, dia memisahkan keong emas tersebut dari ikan-ikan yang lain dan
meletakkannya di bak kecil. Nenek tua tersebut ingin memeliharanya.

Di keesokan harinya, seperti biasa, nenek tua tersebut pergi ke sungai untuk memancing. Dan
setelah memancing seharian, dia pulang di sore hari. Ketika sampai di rumah, dia sangat terkejut
melihat gubuk dimana dia tinggal sudah bersih dan rapih, dan ada makanan di meja. Dia heran
siapa yang telah melakukan semua ini. Hal aneh yang sama juga terjadi di hari setelah itu. Dengan
penasaran, nenek tua tersebut memutuskan untuk pulang lebih awal dan mengintip melalui retakan
di jendela di gubuknya. Dia melihat keong yang dia pelihara berubah menjadi seorang gadis cantik.
Gadis cantik itu lah yang memebersihkan rumah dan memasakkan makanan untuknya.

Nenek tua tersebut terkejut melihat apa yang ia telah lihat barusan. Dia kemudian memutuskan
untuk masuk kedalam dan bertanya pada gadis tersebut. Gadis tersebut tidak bisa berbuat apa-apa,
selain memberitahu yang sebenarnya. Gadis tersebut memberitahu bawah dirinya adalah Candra
Kirana, puteri dari Kerajaan Daha yang telah dikutuk oleh saudarinya sendiri. Candra Kirana
menjelaskan bahwa kutukannya tersebut akan hilang jika ada seorang pria yang mencintainya
dengan tulus. Setelah menjelaskan siapa dirinya sebenarnya, Candra Kirana kembali menjadi keong
mas.

Sementara itu, Raden Inu Kertapati tidak bisa menerima kenyataan bahwa Candra Kirana telah
hilang. Dia memutuskan untuk pergi mencarinya. Raden Inu Kertapati berkelana dan bertanya
kepada orang yang dia temui tentang Candra Kirana. Tetapi, tidak ada orang yang memberinya
jawaban. Suatu hari, ketika Raden Inu Kertapati mencapai perbatasan Kerajaan Daha, dia bertemu
dengan seorang kakek tua yang mengemis minta makan dan minum. Tanpa pikir panjang, Raden
Inu Kertapati memberikan bekal makan siangnya untuk kakek tersebut. Dan seperti biasa, Raden
Inu Kertapati bertanya pada kakek tua tersebut tentang Candra Kirana. Kakek tua tersebut bukanlah
orang biasa. Dia merupakan petapa yang sangat sakti. Kakek tersebut memberitahu Raden Inu
Kertapati dimana Candra Kirana sebenarnya berada. Dia mengatakan bahwa Candara Kirana berada
di sebuah desa yang bernama Dadapan.

Tanpa membuang waktu, Raden Inu Kertapati pergi ke desa tersebut yang letaknya sangat jauh dari
dia berada sekarang. Setelah beberapa hari mengendarai kuda, Raden Inu Kertapati tiba di desa
tersebut. Dia sangat lapar dan haus setelah mengendarai kuda beberapa hari tanpa berhenti. Ketika
dia melihat sebuah gubuk kecil di dekat sungai, dia memutuskan untuk berhenti untuk meminta
maknaan dan minuman. Raden Inu Kertapati sangat terkejut melihat gadis yang dia cari-cari sedang
memasak di dapur gubuk tersebut. Raden Inu Kertapati sangat senang melihat Candara Kirana lagi
dan Candra Kirana juga senang melihat orang yang benar-benar mencitainya datang mencarinya.
Kutukan tersebut pun hilang. Candra Kirana tidak akan berubah kembali menjadi keong emas lagi.

Raden Inu Kertapati dan Candra Kirana memutuskan untuk kembali ke Kerjaan Daha setelah
berpamitan dengan nenek tua yang tinggal di gubuk. Di Kerajaan Daha, Candra Kirana dan Raden
Inu Kertapati menceritakan semuanya kepada Raja Kertamerta. Mendengar cerita tersebut, Raja
Kertamerta sangat marah. Dia memerintahkan untuk memberikan hukuman yang sangat berak
kepada Dewi Galuh. Dewi Galuh kemudian diusir dari kerajaan karena apa yang telah dia buat.
Akhirnya, Raden Inu kertapati dan Candra Kirana menikah. Mereka juga mengundang nenek tua
yang menolong Candra Kirana untuk hidup bersama di istana. Raden Inu Kertapati dan Candra
Kirana hidup bahagia untuk selama-lamanya.

 BATU BELAH BATU BERTANGKUP

Conclusion
This folklore is one of those stories that is widely known by children Gayo. He can be classed
as a legend, because the population is considered Gayo story really happened in their area. To
prove it, they can show us a large rock which lies approximately 35 km from the town of
Takengon Gayo.

This legend is interesting, not because it actually never happened, but for the message to be
delivered to us, namely that in any case, we should be able to refrain. Because the action we
did when we forget ourselves will be able to harm another, complicate our own, and very
difficult for our relatives who we love.

The love of the father against his wife and children are undoubtedly can not. He certainly
would not go deer hunting to feed them, if he did not love them.

 However, he had caused his wife's death. This event has brought misery, not only for the two
children are still very small and require care of a mother, but also himself, because he had to
take over all the duties of his wife to care for her two children.
 CERITA LEGENDA BATU BELAH BATU BERTANGKUP
(Takengon/Aceh Tengah)

Kisah ini terjadi di Desa Penurun, Tanah

Gayo, ratusan tahun yang silam. Dahulu kala,
ada suatu keluarga miskin yang terdiri dari
seorang ayah, ibu, seorang anak yang
berumur tujuh tahun, dan seorang anak lain
yang masih menyusu. Sang ayah ialah
seorang petani. Di waktu senggang ia selalu
berburu rusa di hutan. Di samping itu ia juga
banyak menangkap belalang di sawah untuk
dijadikan makanan, bila tidak berhasil
memperoleh rusa buruan. Belalang itu
dikumpulkan sedikit demi sedikit di sebuah lumbung padi yang kosong karena sedang musim
paceklik.

Pada suatu hari sang ayah pergi berburu rusa ke dalam hutan. Di rumah tinggal istri dan anak-
anaknya. Waktu saat makan tiba, anak yang besar merajuk karena tidak ada ikan sebagai teman
nasinya. Juga tidak tersedia lauk pauk lainnya di rumah itu. Peristiwa ini membuat hati ibunya sedih
benar.

Akhirnya, si ibu memerintahkan agar putranya mengambil belalang sendiri di dalam lumbung. Tatkala
si anak membuka pintu lumbung, ia kurang hati-hati, pintu lumbung tetap terbuka. Keadaan ini
menyebabkan semua belalang terbang ke luar.

Sementara itu ayahnya pulang berburu. Sang ayah kelihatan amat kesal dan lelah. Ia tidak
memperoleh rusa buruan. Kemarahannya menjadi bertambah besar ketika ia mengetahui dari istrinya
bahwa semua belalang di lumbung telah terbang. Kekesalannya pun bertambah pula bila diingatnya
betapa lamanya ia telah mengumpulkan belalang-belalang itu. Kini semuanya lenyap dalam tempo
sekejap saja. Dalam keadaan lupa diri itu, si ayah memukul istrinya sampai babak belur. Kemudian ia
menyeretnya ke luar rumah.

Sambil merintih kesakitan. sang ibu pergi meninggalkan rumahnya. Dalam keputus asaan ia menuju ke
Atu Belah yang selalu menerima dan menelan siapa saja yang bersedia ditelannya. Niat semacam ini
dapat terkabul jika ia menjangin, yaitu mengucapkan kata-kata sambil bernyanyi dalam bahasa Gayo
sebagai berikut:
"Batu belah, atu bertangkup nge sawah pejaying te masa dahulu. " Artinya: Batu Belah, batu
bertangkup, sudah tiba janji kita masa lalu.

Kata-kata itu dinyanyikan berkali-kali secara lembut oleh ibu yang malang itu. Sementara itu si ibu
menuju ke Atu Belah, kedua anaknya terus mengikutinya sambil menangis dari kejauhan. Yang besar
menggendong adiknya yang masih kecil.

Akhirnya apa yang terjadi? Lambat-lambat tetapi pasti bagian batu yang terbelah itu terbuka. Tanpa
ragu-ragu lagi si ibu masuk ke dalam mulut batu. Sedikit demi sedikit tubuhnya ditelan oleh Batu
Besar setelah ia berulang kali menyanyikan kalimat yang bertuah itu.

Pada waktu kedua kakak beradik itu tiba di sana. Keadaan alam di sekitarnya amat buruk. Hujan turun
deras disertai angin ribut. Bumi terasa bergetar karena sedang menyaksikan Atu Belah menelan
manusia. Setelah semua reda, dengan hati hancur luluh kedua kakak beradik itu hanya dapat melihat
rambut ibunya yang tidak tertelan Atu Belah. Kemudian anak sulungnya mencabut tujuh helai rambut
ibunya untuk dijadikan jimat pelindung mereka berdua.

Kesimpulan
Cerita rakyat ini adalah salah satu cerita yang banyak dikenal oleh anak-anak Gayo. Ia dapat
digolongkan sebagai legenda, karena oleh penduduk Gayo cerita ini dianggap benar-benar pernah
terjadi di daerah mereka. Untuk membuktikannya, mereka dapat menunjukkan kepada kita sebuah
batu besar yang terletak kira-kira 35 km dari kota Takengon di Gayo.

Legenda ini menarik, bukan karena betul-betul pernah terjadi, melainkan karena pesan yang hendak
disampaikan kepada kita, yaitu agar dalam keadaan apa pun, kita harus dapat menahan diri. Sebab
perbuatan yang kita lakukan pada waktu kita lupa diri akan dapat mencelakakan orang lain,
menyukarkan kita sendiri, dan menyulitkan kerabat kita yang amat kita sayangi.

Kasih si ayah terhadap anak istrinya tidak dapat kita sangsikan. Sudah tentu ia tidak akan pergi
berburu rusa untuk memberi makan mereka, jika ia tidak menyayangi mereka.
Namun, ia telah menyebabkan kematian istrinya. Peristiwa ini telah mendatangkan kesengsaraan,
bukan hanya bagi kedua anaknya yang masih kecil dan amat memerlukan rawatan seorang ibu, tetapi
juga dirinya sendiri, karena ia harus mengambil alih seluruh tugas istrinya untuk merawat kedua
anaknya.

CERITA LEGENDA BATU BELAH BATU BERTANGKUP

(Takengon/Aceh Tengah)
This story happened in Penurun Village, Soil
Gayo, hundreds of years ago. Long ago, there
was a poor family consisting of a father,
mother, a child who was seven years old, and
another child who was still nursing. The
father is a farmer. In his spare time he always
hunts deer in the forest. In addition, he also
caught a lot of grasshoppers in the fields to be
used as food, if he did not succeed in getting
hunted deer. Grasshoppers are collected little
by little in an empty rice barn because it is a
famine season.

One day the father went hunting deer into the

forest. At home his wife and children live. When it comes to eating, the big boy sulks because there
are no fish as his rice friends. There are also no other side dishes available in the house. This
incident made her mother's heart really sad.

Finally, the mother ordered her son to take his own grasshopper in the barn. When the child opens
the barn door, he is not careful, the barn door remains open. This situation caused all the
grasshoppers to fly out.

Meanwhile his father came home hunting. The father looks very upset and tired. He did not get
hunted deer. His anger grew even greater when he learned from his wife that all the grasshoppers in
the barn had flown. His frustration also increases when he remembers how long he has collected the
locusts. Now everything disappears in an instant. In a state of self-forgetfulness, the father beat his
wife to a pulp. Then he dragged him outside the house.

Whimpering in pain. the mother left her house. In desperation he headed to Atu Belah who always
accepted and swallowed anyone who was willing to be swallowed. This kind of intention can come
true if he promises, that is to say the words while singing in Gayo as follows:
Stone split, or cupped with pejaying rice fields in the past." Meaning: Stone Split, cupped stone, our
promise has arrived in the past.

The words were sung softly many times by the poor mother. Meanwhile the mother headed to Atu
Belah, her two children continued to follow her while crying from a distance. The big one is
holding his little sister.
Finally what happened? Slowly but surely the part of the rock that was split open. Without
hesitation, the mother entered the mouth of the stone. Little by little his body was swallowed up by
the Big Rock after he repeatedly sang the lucky sentence.

When the two brothers arrived there. The natural environment around it is very bad. Heavy rain
accompanied by heavy winds. The earth was shaking because it was watching Atu Belah swallow a
human. After everything had died down, with a broken heart, the two brothers could only see their
mother's hair that was not swallowed by Atu Belah. Then his eldest son pulled out seven strands of
his mother's hair to serve as a protective talisman for both of them.

Conclusion
This folklore is one of the stories widely known by Gayo children. It can be classified as a legend,
because by Gayo residents this story is considered to have really happened in their area. To prove it,
they can show us a large rock which is located approximately 35 km from the town of Takengon in
Gayo.

This legend is interesting, not because it really happened, but because of the message to be
conveyed to us, so that under any circumstances, we must be able to hold back. Because the actions
we do when we forget ourselves will be able to harm others, make ourselves difficult, and make it
difficult for our relatives whom we really care about.

The father's love for his wife's children we cannot doubt. Of course he wouldn't go hunting deer to
feed them, if he didn't love them.
However, he had caused the death of his wife. This event has brought misery, not only for her two
children who are still small and in dire need of a mother's care, but also herself, because she had to
take over all the duties of his wife to care for her two children.
 KEONG MAS

Once upon a time, there was a couple living in a palace. They were Prince Raden Putra and Dewi
Limaran. Prince Raden Putra's father was the king of the kingdom.

One day, Dewi Limaran was walking around in the palace garden. Suddenly she saw a snail. It was
ugly and disgusting.
"Yuck!" said Dewi Limaran and then she threw it away into a river.
She did not know that the snail was actually an old and powerful witch. She could transform herself
into anything. The witch was angry to Dewi Limaran. The witch put a spell on her and changed her
into a golden snail. The witch then threw it away into the river.
. 

The golden snail was drifting away in the river and got caught into a net. An old woman was
fishing and used her net to catch some fish. She was surprised to see a golden snail in her net. She
took it and brought it home. When the old woman woke up in the morning, she was surprised that
the house was in the good condition.
The floor was mopped. And she also had food on the table. She was thinking very hard.
"Who did this to me? The person is very kind." It happened again and again every morning.
The old woman was very curious. One night she decided to stay up late. She was peeping from her
room to know who cooked for her. Then, she could not believe what she saw. The golden snail she
caught in the river turned into a beautiful woman. The old woman approached her.

"Who are you, young girl?"

"I am Dewi Limaran, Ma'am. A witch cursed me. I can change back as a human only at night,"
explained Dewi Limaran.

"The spell can be broken if I hear the melody from the holy gamelan," continued Dewi Limaran.

The old woman then rushed to the palace. She talked to Prince Raden Putra about her wife.

Prince Raden Putra was so happy. He had been looking for his wife everywhere.

He then prayed and meditated. He asked the gods to give him the holy gamelan. He wanted to break
the witch's spell. After several days praying and meditating, finally gods granted his wish. He
immediately brought the holy gamelan to the old woman's house. He played it beautifully. And then
amazingly the golden snail turned into the beautiful Dewi Limaran.

The couple was so happy that they could be together again. They also thanked the old woman for
her kindness. As a return, they asked her to stay in the palace.

with his beautiful daughter named Chrysanthemum. In addition to beautiful, chrysanthemum
is also classified as a diligent kid for always helping his parents when they were working in a
field that results are used to meet the needs of everyday life.

One day, chrysanthemum have to work in the fields alone because both parents were there is

Arriving in the fields Chrysanthemum just sat there looking at the natural beauty of Lake
Toba. While the dog, Si Toki, sat down beside staring at her employer's face looked like facing
a problem. The occasional barking dog to distract Chrysanthemum if there is anything
suspicious around the fields.

Actually, the last few days Chrysanthemum always looked glum. This is because the father

had a love affair with a young man in the village and have pledged will also foster home. This
situation makes it confused, not knowing what to do, and began to despair. On the one hand
he did not want to disappoint her parents, but on the other hand he could not bear to part
with her idol youth.

After pondering a moment and without any results, chrysanthemum rose from where he sat.
With tears loose he walked slowly toward Lake Toba. Apparently he was very desperate and
wanted to end his life by jumping into Lake Toba. While Si Toki who also followed his master
to the edge of the lake can only be barking because they do not know what is going on in the
minds of Chrysanthemum.

As I walked toward the cliffs on the shores of Lake Toba, she suddenly fell into a hole large
stone to get into the base. And, because it is located at the base of a very dark, making the
beautiful girl became frightened and shouted for help to his dog. However, since Si Toki only

Finally the girl was getting desperate and thought, "Ah, I'd rather die."

Having said that, for some reason the walls of the hole begins to close. "Parapat ...! Parapat
rock! "Cried Chrysanthemum stone wall that is getting closer and choke her.

Si Toki saw the incident immediately ran to the house to ask for help. At home Si Toki
immediately approached Chrysanthemum parents who happen to already be at home.
Barking, pawing the ground and pacing around his employer, Si Toki tried to tell that
Chrysanthemum in danger.

Aware of what is implied by the dog, parents Chrysanthemum immediately headed for the
field. Both ran after Si Toki up to the edge of the hole where their daughters fall. When he
heard her screams from inside the hole, Mother immediately make a torch as a torch for it
was already dusk. While the father ran back to the village to ask for help the neighbors.

Not long later, most of the neighbors had gathered at the father's home Chrysanthemum

and torch as illumination.

Arriving troupe in the fields, while tears Mother Chrysanthemum said to her husband, "Sir,
the hole is too deep and opaque. I only heard the faint sound of our children who said:
Parapat, Parapat stone ... "

Without answering the question of his wife, father Chrysanthemum melonggok immediately
into the hole and shouted, "Seruniii ...! Serunii ...! "

"Chrysanthemum ... my son! We'll help you! "Shouted the mother involved.

Several times they yell, but do not get answers from Seruni. Only Chrysanthemum voice
sounded faint that sent rocks around it to move up and in on him.

Residents who were present at the spot tried to help by holding a rope to the bottom of the
hole, but did not touched or held by Seruni.

Worried, the father decided to follow his daughter into his hole, "Mom, hold this torch! I'm
going down to pick up our children! "

"Do not be hasty, sir. This hole is very dangerous! "Prevent his wife.

"Yes sir, this hole was very deep and dark," said one of his neighbors.

After Chrysanthemum dissuade father, suddenly the sound of thunder and the earth will
shake devastating punch a hole slowly docked and closed by itself. Chrysanthemums were in
the hole finally trapped and can not be saved.

Some time after the shaking stops, at the top of the hole that had closed it appeared a large
rock that resembles a girl's body that seems to hang on the walls of the cliff on the shores of
Lake Toba. People who saw the incident believe that the rock is an incarnation of
Chrysanthemum and later renamed it as "Hanging Rock".

And, because the Chrysanthemum last speech heard by residents only "Parapat, Parapat and
Parapat", then the area around Hanging Rock later named Parapat. Parapat has now been
transformed into one of the tourist destinations in the province of North Sumatra.

CERITA LEGENDA BATU GANTUNG DAN TOBA

Pada jaman dahulu kala di sebuah desa kecil di tepi Danau Toba hiduplah sepasang suami-
isteri dengan seorang anak perempuannya yang cantik jelita bernama Seruni. Selain cantik,
Seruni juga tergolong sebagai anak yang rajin karena selalu membantu kedua orang tuanya
ketika mereka sedang bekerja di ladang yang hasilnya digunakan untuk mencukupi
kebutuhan hidup sehari-hari.

Suatu hari, Seruni harus bekerja di ladang seorang diri karena kedua orang tuanya sedang ada
keperluan di desa tetangga. Ia hanya ditemani oleh anjing peliharaannya yang diberi nama Si
Toki. Sesampainya di ladang Seruni hanya duduk termenung sambil memandangi indahnya
alam Danau Toba. Sementara anjingnya, Si Toki, ikut duduk disamping sambil menatap wajah
majikannya yang tampak seperti sedang menghadapi suatu masalah. Sesekali sang anjing
menggonggong untuk mengalihkan perhatian Seruni apabila ada sesuatu yang mencurigakan
di sekitar ladang.
Sebenarnya, beberapa hari terakhir Seruni selalu tampak murung. Hal ini disebabkan karena Sang
Ayah akan menjodohkannya dengan seorang pemuda yang masih tergolong sepupunya sendiri.
Padahal, ia telah menjalin hubungan asmara dengan seorang pemuda di desanya dan telah berjanji
pula akan membina rumah tangga. Keadaan ini membuatnya menjadi bingung, tidak tahu harus
berbuat apa, dan mulai berputus asa. Di satu sisi ia tidak ingin mengecewakan kedua orang tuanya,
namun di sisi lain ia juga tidak sanggup jika harus berpisah dengan pemuda pujaan hatinya.

Setelah merenung beberapa saat dan tanpa menghasilkan apa-apa, Seruni beranjak bangkit dari
tempat ia duduk. Dengan berderai air mata ia berjalan perlahan ke arah Danau Toba. Rupanya ia
sudah sangat berputus asa dan ingin mengakhiri hidupnya dengan cara menceburkan diri ke Danau
Toba. Sementara Si Toki yang juga mengikuti majikannya menuju tepi danau hanya bisa
menggonggong karena tidak tahu apa yang sedang berkecamuk di dalam benak Seruni.

Saat berjalan ke arah tebing di tepi Danau Toba, tiba-tiba ia terperosok ke dalam sebuah lubang
batu besar hingga masuk ke dasarnya. Dan, karena berada di dasar lubang yang sangat gelap,
membuat gadis cantik itu menjadi takut dan berteriak minta tolong kepada anjing kesayangannya.
Namun karena Si Toki hanyalah seekor binatang, maka ia tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa kecuali terus-
menerus menggonggong di sekitar mulut lubang.

Akhirnya gadis itu pun semakin putus asa dan berkata dalam hati, “Ah, lebih baik aku mati saja.”

Setelah berkata seperti itu, entah mengapa dinding-dinding lubang tersebut mulai merapat.
“Parapat…! Parapat batu!” seru Seruni agar dinding batu semakin merapat dan menghimpit
tubuhnya.

Melihat kejadian itu Si Toki langsung berlari ke rumah untuk meminta bantuan. Sesampainya di
rumah Si Toki segera menghampiri orang tua Seruni yang kebetulan sudah berada di rumah. Sambil
menggonggong, mencakar-cakar tanah dan mondar-mandir di sekitar majikannya, Si Toki berusaha
memberitahukan bahwa Seruni dalam keadaan bahaya.

Sadar akan apa yang sedang diisyaratkan oleh si anjing, orang tua Seruni segera beranjak menuju
ladang. Keduanya berlari mengikuti Si Toki hingga sampai ke tepi lubang tempat anak gadis
mereka terperosok. Ketika mendengar jeritan anaknya dari dalam lubang, Sang Ibu segera membuat
obor sebagai penerang karena hari telah senja. Sementara Sang Ayah berlari kembali menuju desa
untuk meminta bantuan para tetangga.

Tak berapa lama kemudian, sebagian besar tetangga telah berkumpul di rumah ayah Seruni untuk
bersama-sama menuju ke lubang tempat Seruni terperosok. Mereka ada yang membawa tangga
bambu, tambang, dan obor sebagai penerangan.

Sesampainya rombongan di ladang, sambil bercucuran air mata Ibu Seruni berkata pada suaminya,
“Pak, lubangnya terlalu dalam dan tidak tembus cahaya. Saya hanya mendengar sayup-sayup suara
anak kita yang berkata: parapat, parapat batu…”

Tanpa menjawab pertanyaan isterinya, Ayah Seruni segera melonggok ke dalam lubang dan
berteriak, “Seruniii…! Serunii…!”

“Seruni…anakku! Kami akan menolongmu!” sang ibu ikut berteriak.

Beberapa kali mereka berteriak, namun tidak mendapat jawaban dari Seruni. Hanya suara Seruni
terdengar sayup-sayup yang menyuruh batu di sekelilingnya untuk merapat dan menghimpitnya.

Warga yang hadir di tempat itu juga berusaha untuk membantu dengan mengulurkan seutas
tambang hingga ke dasar lubang, namun sama sekali tidak disentuh atau dipegang oleh Seruni.

Merasa khawatir, Sang Ayah memutuskan untuk menyusul puterinya masuk ke dalam lubang, “Bu,
pegang obor ini! Saya akan turun menjemput anak kita!”

“Jangan gegabah, Pak. Lubang ini sangat berbahaya!” cegah sang isteri.
“Benar Pak, lubang ini sangat dalam dan gelap,” sahut salah seorang tetangganya.

Setelah ayah Seruni mengurungkan niatnya, tiba-tiba terdengar suara gemuruh dan bumi pun
bergoncang dahsyat yang membuat lubang secara perlahan merapat dan tertutup dengan sendirinya.
Seruni yang berada di dalam lubang akhirnya terhimpit dan tidak dapat diselamatkan.

LEGEND TIMUN MAS

Long time ago, lived an old women named Mbok Sirni. She lived by herself because her husband
had long passed away and she had no children. Every day, she prayed so God would give her a
child. One night, when she was praying, a giant passed her house and heard her pray. “I can give
you a child on one condition,” the giant said to Mbok Sirni, “You must give the child back to me
when it is six years old.” Mbok Sirni was so happy; she did not think about the risk of losing the
child later and agreed to take the giant’s offer. The giant then gave her a bunch of cucumber seeds.
“Plant it around your house.” The giant then left without saying anything else. In the morning,
Mbok Sirni planted the seeds. The seeds grew within mere days, and blossomed plentifully.Not
longer after that, a big golden cucumber grew from plants. Carefully, Mbok Sirni plucked the
golden cucumber and carried it home. With caution and care, she sliced the cucumber. She was
very surprised to see a beautiful baby girl inside the cucumber. She then named the baby Timun
Emas.

Years passed by and Timun Emas has grew to become a lovely and beautiful little girl. She was
also smart and kind. Mbok Sirni loved her very much. But she kept thinking about the time the
giant would take Timun Emas away from her. One night, Mbok Sirni had a dream. In order to save
Timun Emas from the giant, she had to meet the holy man who lived in Mount Gundul. The next
morning, Mbok Sirni took leave of Timun Emas to go to Mount Gundul. The holy man then gave
her four little bags, each one containing cucumber seeds, needles, salt, and shrimp paste. “Timun
Emas can use these to protect herself,” said the holy man to Mbok Sirni.
A few days later, the giant came to see Mbok Sirni about her promise. “Mbok Sirni! Where is
Timun Emas?” shouted the giant. “My daughter, take these bag with you. It can save you from the
giant. Now, run through the back door,” said Mbok Sirni. But the giant saw Timun Emas running to
the woods. The giant was angry. Starved and enraged, he rushed toward Timun Emas. Mbok Sirni
tried to stop him, but the giant was unstoppable.

The giant was getting closer and closer, so Timun Emas opened the first bag she got from Mbok
Sirni. Inside the bag were cucumber seeds. She threw the seeds, and instantly they grew into large
cucumber field. But the giant ate them all, giving him more strength. As the giant was getting close,
Timun Emas took the second bag with needles inside and spilled the content behind her. The
needles turned into bamboo trees, sharp and thorny. The giant’s body was scratched and bled.
“Aaargh, I’ll get you, Timun Emas!” shouted the giant as he tried to get himself out from the
bamboo field. He made it and still chasing Timun Emas.

Timun Emas then reached the third bag and spilled the salt inside. The ground which the salt
touched turned into a deep sea. The giant almost drown and had to swim to cross the sea. After
some time, he managed to get out from the water. Timun Emas saw the giant coming, so she
reached for the last bag. She took the shrimp paste and threw it. The shrimp paste became a big
swamp of boiling mud. The giant was trapped in the middle of the swamp. The mud slowly but
surely drowned him. Helpless, he roared out, “Help! Heeeeelp…!” Then the giant drown and died.
Timun Mas then immediately went home. Since then, Timun Emas and Mbok Sirni live happily
ever after.

sendiri. Karena jebolnya bendungan itu, maka terjadilah banjir dan seluruh kota terendam air.
