#019 Legend Of Penyusuk Beach

Once upon a time, there were a king and his queen who lived in the kingdom of Belinyu. They didn’t have any child. Until one night, the queen had a dream of a turtle. It said that the queen would have a baby, and she had to give a Komala necklace to her baby. The queen woke up and she was holding a Komala necklace in her hand. She told her dream to the King, and he was very happy.

Shortly, the queen’s dream became reality; she delivered a beautiful baby girl. The king named her, Komala. She grew up as a pretty girl; however, she had a bad attitude because her parents always spoiled her too much.

One day, Komala heard her parents were talking about the turtle in her mother’s dream. She thought that the turtle was very interesting animal, so she wanted it as her pet. She insisted to find it, and the king allowed her to look for the animal.

Accompanied with the king’s guards, Komala searched the turtle, and finally, she found it in a beach.

She shouted to it, “Penyu busuk (damned turtle/smelly turtle), wait for me,” in several times.

However the turtle kept swimming. Komala ran after it into the sea, she tried to catch it. Until then she finally drowned and disappeared, and all of her guards could not save her.

Now, people call the beach, Penyusuk (comes from penyu busuk)
