hello everyone today I will tell you the story about
The Legend of Rawa Pening
The story is about the poor little boy come to the little village, he was very hungry, he knocked at every door and asked some food but nobody cared about him, nobody wanted to help this little boy. finally the generous woman helped him, gave him a food, and told him to stayed at her house, shortly this little boy angry to the village who always abused him and the little boy want to engaged a contest, to pulled the stick of the ground, if they can pull it out they can get some reward, before the little boy went, he gave "lesung" to this old woman who helped him before, he said "if there is a flood you must save yourself use this "lesung" as a boat. and then the boy went to the village and engaged the contest, shortly nobody can pulled out the stick but this little boy pulled out the stick easily, 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 old woman.
the whole village became a huge lake, it is now known as "Rawa Pening" in salatiga, Central Java
on the whole I like this story because it is easy to remember, simple, and easy to understand
I quickly remember this story because since elementary school I always use it to evaluation (story telling), junior high school to write a "Legenda", and senior high school to practic a drama based on the "Legenda"
I think Folklore in general help us to understand how something happen in general or in the easy way, but it also called "Legenda" so we don,t know if it is true or not
I like folklore because every story it has picture in every story, I like pictures in a story, it is make me more enjoy reading, and attract more imagination to feel the story
I think that's it for today thank's for reading, and stay alive
