Jaka Tarub and Nawang Wulan

Long time ago, in Dadapan Village, there was a young man called Jaka Tarub. The villagers
loved him because he was very polite, honest, and helpfull. Jaka Tarub was a woodsman. Every
day, Jaka Tarub went to the woods gathering branches. In his spare time, he often helped the
villagers to take care of a farm. Once in a while he gave a carpenter a helping a hand as well.
One day, Jaka Tarub went to Bunder Woods to gather some branches. Suddenly, he heard
some noise from a Roban Waterfall which was located in the middle of Bunder Woods. He was
curious. Slowly, Jaka Tarub walked to the area. When he arrived there, he saw seven beautiful
girls enjoying the breathtaking scenery of the waterfall. All of them were holding a shawl. Jaka
Tarub was really amazed by their beauty. A few moment later, the girls slowly wore their
shawls over their shoulders. Amazingly, after they wore the shawls, they flew to the sky
following a rainbow path. They were not humans. They were fairies.
After that Jaka Tarub went home. He was very restless. He was still thinking about those
seven beautiful girls.
On the next day, Jaka Tarub decided to go back to Roban Waterfall. As he rived there, he saw
one of the fairy crying. Jaka Tarub approached the poor fairy and said,” what’swrong? Why are
 youcrying? And where are your sisters?”
“I tore my shawl on thorns of wild shrubs as I stood up. I cannot fly and go back home. All
my sisters have left me because the rainbow path was about to fade away. My name is Nawan
Wulan.”
“I’ll help you to fix it. If it doesn’t work, you can stay at my house”. said Jaka Tarub. Then both of
them headed back to the village. Jaka Tarub did his best to fix the shawl, alas, it doesn’t work.
This made Nawang Wulan fail to fly back home. As time went by ,they fell in love to each other
and decided to get married. After getting married, Nawang Wulan told her husband that she had

Rainbow is a natural phenomenon in the form of arc spectrum in the sky caused
by the refraction of light. Rainbow appears after the rains. The colors are red,
orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Rainbow is in the form like an arc. However, it actually has a circle shape. The
half of the circle can be seen when we see from the higher places such as a
mountain or when we are on a plane.
The colors are formed as the effect of the refraction and reflection of the
sunlight. After raining, the sunlight, which is the white light, touches the
raindrops and it is reflected. The light will be separated in different degrees
and produces different wavelengths.
These wavelength are accepted by our eyes in the form of different colors or
spectrum, and we call it as a rainbow. As its position is opposite the sun, we
need to turn our backs to the sun to see it.

The times you were born in may not have been the best
But you can make the times to come better than the rest
I know you will be honest if you can't always be kind
Oh yes, sweet darling
