Peninsula, naming eastern Australia "New South Wales'. The coast of Australia, featuring

A father lived in a village with his three sons. People said that the first two sons were
very clever but the third lad was simple and a fool. One day, the father wanted to test all his
three sons. He wanted to see who the smartest son was. He built a hut at the edge of his
pasture. He said to his sons, “I am giving this small house to one of you. It will belong to the
one who can fill it completely. Not even a corner is to be left empty.
Then the oldest son tried the quiz. He bought a horse and brought it into the hut.

An old story is told of a king in Africa who had a close friend with whom he grew up.
The friend had a habit of looking at every situation that occurred in his life (positive or
negative) and remarked, “This is good!”
One day the king and his friend were out on a hunting expedition. The friend would
load and prepare the guns for the king. The friend had apparently done something wrong when
preparing one of the guns, for after taking the gun from his friend, the king fired it and his
thumb was blown off. Examining the situation the friend remarked as usual, “This is good!”
To which the king replied, “No, this is NOT good!” and proceeded to send his friend to jail.
About a year later, the king was hunting in an area that he should have known to stay
clear of. Cannibals captured him and took him to their village. They tied his hands, stacked
some wood, set up a stake and bound him to the stake. As they came near to set fire to the
wood, they noticed that the king was missing a thumb. Being superstitious, they never ate
anyone that was less than whole. So untying the king, they sent him on his way.
As he returned home, he was reminded of the event that had taken his thumb and felt
remorse for the treatment of his friend. He went immediately to the jail to speak with his
friend. “You were right,” he said, “it was good that my thumb was blown off.” He proceeded
to tell the friend all that had just happened. “So I am very sorry for sending you to jail for so
long. It was bad for me to do this.”
“No,” his friend replied, “This is good!”

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 incredible thing happened. Slowly, Jaka and Dewi turned
into temples. Because the temples stood among the pari, people then named them as Pari
Temples.
