The Legend of Rawa Pening

Once upon a time, there was a little poor boy came into a little village. He was very hungry and weak.
He knocked at every door and asked for some food, but nobody cared about him. Nobody wanted to
help the little boy.

Finally, a generous woman helped him. She gave him shelter and a meal. When the boy wanted to leave,
this old woman gave him a “lesung”, a big wooden mortar for pounding rice. She reminded him, “please
remember, if there is a flood you must save yourself. Use this “lesung” as a boat”. The “lesung” (little
poor boy) was happy and thanked the old woman.

The little boy continued his journey. While he was passing through the village, he saw many people
gathering on the field. The boy came closer and saw a stick stuck in the ground. People challenged each
other to pull out that stick. Everybody tried, but nobody succeeded. “Can I try?” asked the little boy.
The crowd laughed mockingly. The boy wanted to try his luck so he stepped forward and pulled out the
stick. He could do it very easily. Everybody was dumbfounded. Suddenly, from the hole left by the
stick, water spouted out. It did not stop until it flooded the village. And no one was saved from the water
except the little boy and the generous old woman who gave him shelter and meal. As she told him, he
used the “lesung” as a boat and picked up the old woman. The whole village became a huge lake. It is
now known as Rawa Pening Lake in Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia.

People heard about the fisherman and his wire. Since then people named the river as Sungai Kawat.
