#089 The Frog Prince

 A young and very beautiful princess lost her ball in the water while she was playing by the side of a lake. She began to cry so sadly that the frog who sat beside the lake croaked to her, “What will you give me if I get you your ball back?”

“All the gold you could wish for!” replied the princess.

“No, I ask only that I am allowed to stay with you and be your friend,” said the frog.

The prin­cess gave her word. She thought that such promise would not cost her at all and she had absolutely no intention of keeping her promise. The moment she had her ball back she ran off so fast that the frog could not keep up with her. Nevertheless, after a while the frog arrived at the palace.

As soon as she saw the frog, the princess was frightened. She ran to ask for help from her father, the king. The king was an impartial person, so he asked the frog to tell him the whole story. After he had known what had happened, he ordered his daughter to keep her promise. So the princess picked the frog up gently in her hand, but with a shiver of disgust, she let it drop to the ground again. But that one brief touch was enough to break the spell that bound that frog. As a result it to turn back into the young and hand­some prince he had been before. The princess was shocked yet thankful as she met her love.

#086 A Lion Who Won't Admit Defeat

One day the lion woke up feeling better than he had ever been before. He felt so fit and healthy he could beat the world. So he rose proudly and went for a prowl in the jungle. So he came across a snake and the lion stopped.

“Who is the king of the jungle?” asked the lion.

“You, of course,” replied the snake, and slithered away.

Next, the lion came to a small pool where he found a crocodile.

“Who is the king of the jungle?”

“Why, you are,” replied the crocodile and slid into the murky depths of the water.

This went on all morning, all the animals agreeing that the lion was the king of the jungle. Then he came across an elephant.

“Who is the king of the jungle?” asked the lion.

In reply, the elephant picked up the lion with its trunk, hurled the lion in the air and then dropped him on the ground.

“Alright, alright,” groaned the battered lion.

“There is no need to get angry just because you don’t know the answer.”

The lion just would not admit his defeat.

#084 Ungrateful Tortoise

Once upon a time, there was a big feast in the sky; all the birds were invited to a feast by the people of the sky. Tortoise was very clever and very hungry. As soon as he heard about the great feast, it began to plan how it would travel to the sky.

Tortoise went to the birds’ home and asked if he could go with them. The birds agreed and they each give him a feather, with which they made a pair of wings for the Tortoise.

The great day came, Tortoise and the birds set off on their journey to the sky.

Finally, the birds and Tortoise arrived at the party. The people of the sky invited the birds to eat the delicious food they had prepared, but then Tortoise asked, “For whom have you prepared this feast?”

“For you, because you are special animals,” replied the people on the sky.

Tortoise turned towards the birds and said, “Remember I am is the most special animal, cause I am the only on Tortoise who can fly. You will eat after me.”

The birds waited angrily as Tortoise ate and drank most of the feast. Then they came forward to eat, but a few of them were too angry to eat. Before flying home, each bird took back the feather they had lent Tortoise without the Tortoise noticing. So, there Tortoise stood full of food and drink, but without any wings to fly home.

When the feast was over, birds and Tortoise jumped back to go home, but the tortoise was surprised because he lost his wings. So, the Tortoise fell and landed with a great crash on the ground. He wasn’t hurt but its shell broke into pieces. Fortunately, there was a good doctor in the neighbourhood. Tortoise’s wife sent him to the doctor and she collected all the bits of Tortoise’s shell and stuck them together. That is why Tortoise’s shell is not smooth.

#081 The Legend Of Rawa Pening

Once upon a time, there was a little boy, who was poor, dirty, and smelly, 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 old woman helped him. She gave him shelter and a meal. When the boy wanted to leave, the 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 little boy was happy and thanked the old woman. The little boy continued his journey. While he was passing through the village, where he had asked for food, 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 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.
