sisters. She had to do all the household chores.

One day the king invited all the ladies in the kingdom to go to a ball (pesta dansa) in the palace. He
wanted to find the Crown Prince a wife.

The step sisters went to the ball that night with their mother. Cindrella was left alone. She cried
because she actually wanted to go to the ball, too.

Just then a fairy godmother came. With her magic wand, she gave Cindrella a coach (kereta), two
horses and footmen. She also gave Cindrella a lovely dress to wear the ball and a pair of glass
slippers. She told Cindrella to come home before midnight.
At the ball, Cindrella danced all night with the Prince. The Prince fell in love with her. At midnight,
Cindrella ran home. Unfortunately, one of her slippers slipped off at the door. She did not have time

A long time ago, there lived an old man in the Penanggungan Mountain. His name was Kiai Gede
Penanggungan. He had supernatural power. Kiai Gede Penanggungan had a beautiful daughter
named Dewi Walangangin who was not married yet. Kiai Gede Penanggungan prayed days and
nights for her daughter to have a husband. One day, a young handsome man came to his place. The
name of the man was Jaka Pandelengan. He wanted to be Kiai Gede Penanggungan's student. Kiai
Gede agreed to have Jaka as his student with one condition that he would marry her daughter. Jaka
Pandelengan and Dewi Walangangin soon got married. Kiai Gede Penanggungan taught Jaka many
things.

After several years, now it was time for the couple to live separately from Kiai Gede Penanggungan.
They would move to another village. Kiai Gede gave some seeds of pari or paddy to the couple. He
asked the couple to plant the seeds. He also warned the couple not to be arrogant when they were
rich. He wanted the couple to help poor people. The couple started a new life. They planted the
seed. Soon, the seeds grew and became a lot of rice. Now the couple became very rich. The poor
neighbours came to the couple to ask for some pari seeds but the couple refused to help them.
Kiai Gede heard about the couple's bad behavior. Soon he visited the couple. He met them when the
couple was working in the field. Kiai Gede talked to the couple. He reminded the couple not to be
arrogant, but the couple ignored him. They said nothing to Kiai Gede. Kiai Gede got very angry. Then
he said, "You two are like temples. You do not listen to me". Right after he said those words, an

among the pari, people then named them as Pari Temples.
