Telaga Warna
A long time ago, there was a kingdom in West Java. The king was wise and kind hearted no wonder the kingdom was prosperous. Unfortunately, he hadn’t had anychildren yet.
A long time ago, there was a kingdom in West Java. The king was wise and kind hearted no wonder the kingdom was prosperous. Unfortunately, he hadn’t had anychildren yet.
The king and queen were so
sad. They were lonely. Furthermore, they were worried about who would be their
successor.
Wanting to have a child, the
king went to the forest and prayed to god. God granted his wish. A few month
later the queen got pregnant.
When
the baby girl was born, people welcomed her happily. They presented so many
gifts. Day by day, the princess grew more and more beautiful. The king and
queen spolled her too much. It made the princess have a bad temper.
Before seventeenth birthday, many
people gave her beautiful present. The king took some gold and jewels. He asked
a gold smith make a beautiful necklace for the princess.
On the princess birthday, people
gathered in the courtyard cheers grew louder and louder when the king, queen
and princess appeared.
My beloved daughter, I give this
necklace to you. People in this kingdom love you so much, it is a gift from
them, “ said the king while presenting the necklace.
The princess accepted and looked at
it briefly. “ I don’t want it. Its’s ugly !” then she threw it a way.
Everybody was speechless. Nobody
could say anything. They didn’t believe that the princess would do such a
cruell thing to hurt every body’s feelings. The queen and the people were sad.
They began crying.
Then there were a miracle the earth
was crying, too. Suddently, a spring emerged the ground. The water drowned all
the kingdom.
People called the lake “Telaga
Warna”. On bright day, it is full of colours. The colours come from the sadows
of forests, plants, flowers, and sky around the lake. However some people said
that the shadows are from the pieces of princess necklace which are scattered
at the button lake.
