1. ORIGINAL STORY AND IDENTIFICATION


 ORIGINAL STORY
Semesat and Semesit
A long time ago in South Sumatra, there lived a king who had been living
as a widower for several years. His wife passed away not long after giving birth to
his twin sons. Now, their sons, who were named Semesat and Semesit, had grown
up. But both of them did nothing but playing football every day. So much so, they
often forgot to eat and ignored their surroundings. The king was very sad seeing
his beloved sons’ behavior. He wanted to educate them but could not because he
did not have enough time aside from dealing with the kingdom’s administration.
Thus, he decided to marry again in a hope that his wife would take care of and
educate his children. Nevertheless, his hope was gone as it turned out that his new
wife married him only for richest and nobility. She did not love Semesat and
Semesit but she could keep her feelings well in front of the king.
One morning, the king called a meeting in the Palace Hall. Before going,
he said to his wife, “My wife, would you please prepare the lunch for the
council?” “Sure my king. I will prepare the lunch for you all,” answered the
king’s wife. But after the king departed, she did not prepare the food. Instead she
took a handful of red chillies and smeared them on her face. In a wink, her face
was swollen and reddening. Just before midday, the meeting took a break for
lunch. So disappointed and ashamed was the king as he saw no food upon the
table. The king was angry at his wife. “My wife, did you not hear my word this
morning? Why did not you prepare the lunch?” asked the king furiously. “I beg
your pardon, my king. Please do not be angry with me. Look at my face!”
answered the king’s wife as she showed him her face. “What happened to you
face? How did it become swollen and reddened?” asked the king wonderingly. “It
was because Semesat and Semesit, my king. They kicked the ball so hard and hit
my face.,” explained the consort. “Now, I hope you can choose my king, either
me or your sons. If you still love me, throw them out to the jungle. And if you
love them more than me, I am ready to be driven out of the palace,” threatened
her. Apparently, the king was falling for the deceitful words that he believed in
his wife without trying to find out what really happened. “Well then, I believe in
your words. I should Semesat and Semesit a lesson. They shall be exiled to the
jungle,” stated the king.
The next morning, Semesat and Semesit were thrown away to the forest.
The king’s consort was so glad with the king’s decision. She thought nobody
could keep her out from dominating the kingdom’s wealth as both the kingdom’s
heirs had gone. Meanwhile, Semesat and Semesit were wandering in and out of
the jungle. They were rambling to and fro, crossing river after river, walking up
and down the hills until one day, they got to a jungle wherein various kinds of
trees and birds lived. The two poor princes took a rest below a huge and shady
tree. They leaned on the trunk. Semesit fell asleep. He was exhausted after days of
walking. While Semesat was still awake. He too felt tired but found it difficult to
take a nap. He was thinking of their miserable life. “It is really tough for us to
accept. Why father believe our stepmother more than his own sons? Oh, God,
please help us!” murmured Semesat. Not long after Semesat said so, a bird
perched upon the tree on which they were leaning. To his surprise, the bird spoke.
“Whoever eats my flesh, he will become rich soon.” said the bird. Without further
thinking, Semesat took a rock and hit the bird. The bird fell on the ground. When
he was walking to take the bird, suddenly another bird perched upon the tree and
said to him. “Whoever eats my flesh, he will endure a hard life but finally find
happiness,” said the bird. Semesat took another rock and hit the bird. It fell down.
Taking the two birds, he woke his brother up and told him what happened.
Semesat then gave his brother the bird he hit first. “My brother, eat this bird so
that you will be a rich man soon! Let me eat this one. It is alright for me if I have
to live a hard live as long as the end is happy,” said Semesat.
Eating up the birds, the continued their walk. They kept going through the
jungle until arriving in a kingdom. People said that the king of the kingdom had
just passed away. The king had no heir that the people wanted Semesit to become
the king. Semesat continued his walk up to the remotest area of his brother’s
kingdom. There he lived in poverty. For sustenance, he ate almost everything the
jungle had.
One day, Semesat unintentionally took some fruits from a garden in
nearby village. He thought nobody owned the fruit trees. But he had taken the
fruits so he was accused of stealing. The people took him to King Semesit to be
punished. King Semesit did not recognize his brother. The king then sentenced to
him to half-body burial in a pool of husks called Bujud Keling.
Several days after, there was spread a word that a beautiful princess from
abroad was holding a contest to look for a husband. The contest ran that whoever
was kissed by the princess’s horse, he would marry the princess. King Semesit
heard about it and commanded his guards to ready a ship for his visit to the
princess’s kingdom. Before midday, king Semesit departed along with is guards,
carrying along various jewelry and crops for the princess. However, in the middle
of the sea, their ship sunk. They could not continue their voyage. “Guards! What
is wrong with the ship?” asked King Semesit. “I beg your pardon, Your Highness.
The ship is broken. If we want to continue the trip, I am afraid we should use
Bujud Keling,” answered one of the guards. King Semesit commanded his guards
to swim back to their kingdom to take the Bujud Keling. Floating upon a huge
sack of Bujud Keling, finally the king arrived in the princess’s kingdoms gathered
to compete in the contest. The princess, meanwhile, was sitting in front the palace
with her family. There was also the princess’s horse tied below a tree.
When the gong was hit, the contest began. The princess then got on her
horse. The horse started to walk passing the contestants to find the right man for
its master. The horse was passing almost everyone and had not kissed one. But
when walking before King Semesit, the horse stopped. The king’s heart was
pounding so fast, thinking the horse would kiss him. But it did not. The princess’s
horse in fact kissed the sack behind the king. The princess then commanded one
of her guards to unfold the sack. “Guards, open the sack! My future husband is in
there!” As it was unfolded, there came out a man covered by husks. King Semesit
was surprised as he did not know that there was a man in the sack. His guards
apparently got them in the sack with the Bujud Keling. Disappointed, King
Semesit said to the people it was him whom the horse kissed, not the sack. He
could not accept the husk man being chosen by the princess. “I could not accept it
if you marry this husk-covered man,” stated King Semesit. “Guards, let us leave
and carry the man with us!”
King Semesit headed back home dejectedly. On their way home, a mean
idea came into his head. He wanted to kill the man who was actually his own
brother. He commanded his guards to throw the man to the sea. As expected, the
man was eaten by a huge shark. But miraculously, the shark died and was drifted
ashore in the princess’s kingdom. The shark was founded by a fisherman who cut
the fish right away. The fisherman was taken aback as he found a man in the fish
belly. The looked like no stranger to the fisherman. “Young man, you were the
husk man the princess’s horse kissed, weren’t you?” asked the fisherman. “Yes,
sir. My name is Semesat, the brother of King Semesit,” revealed Semesat. “Thank
God then. You are safe. Now, let me take you to the princess. She must be waiting
for you in the palace,” said the fisherman.
Finally, Semesat married the princess. Several days after their wedding,
Semesat revealed his secret to the princess. She was surprised. She almost could
not believe in what her husband just said. “Know my brother, the husk man you
threw to the sea was me, your brother, Semesat,” revealed Semesat. King Semesit
was stormed to hear it. He regretted what he had done. In tears, King Semesit
hugged his brother. “Forgive me, brother! I am sorry for treating you badly,” said
King Semesit in his brother’s arms. “Forget it brother. All of this is our destiny. I
had to live a hard life before enjoying happiness like what I feel now,” said
Semesat emotionally. People say King Semesit stepped down after that and
enthroned his brother to be king. The twin brothers ruled the kingdom justly and
wisely. The people lived happily and peacefully.
