Telaga Warna
Long
long ago there was a kingdom in West Java. The kingdom was ruled by king.
People called their king His Majesty Prabu. Prabu was kind and wise king. No
wonder if that country was prosperous. There’s no hunger in this kingdom.
It
was very happy condition. But it was pity that prabu and his queen hadn’t
got any children. It made the royal couple very very sad. Some old man who was
respected by Prabu suggested the king to adopt a child. But Prabu and the Queen
didn’t agree.
Old
man
: “Prabu, I suggest you to adopt a child
because you were not have child to change your rule. And if you’re
being old no body can turn your position.”
King
: “I
don’t agree with your suggestion!”
Old
man :
“Why you don’t agree Prabu? Why you don’t
agree Prabu? All people in this kingdom only let your descend to rule.”
King : “Because for us, our own daughter or son is
better than adopted children. Do you think like that my wife?”
Queen : “Yes,
I think so. Our own daughter or son is better than adopted children.”
The
Queen was very sad. She often cried. That was why Prabu decided to go. He went
to the jungle. There he prayed to God. Everyday he begged for a child.
King
: “Ohh my God. Please, give me and my wife a
child. I will promise to you, if you give me a child I will love them.”
His
dream comes true. A few months later, the queen got pregnant. All people in the
kingdom felt happy. They sent many presents to the palace to express their
happiness.
People
in
: “I bring this presents to you Your Majesty.
This is the express from me.”
H
King
: “Thank’s a lot.”
Nine
months later a princess was born. People sent their presents again as a gift to
a little princess. This baby grew as a beautiful teenager then.
People
in
: “Ohh.. How beautiful you are.”
Queen
: “Thank you. She is the daughter who I wait
during time.”
People
in
: “This is, I bring it for the beautiful
baby.”
King
: “Thank you very much. I accept your
presents.”
Prabu
and Queen love their daughter so much. They gave what ever she wanted. It made
Princess a very spoiled girl. When her wish couldn’t
do that. Even though the princess behaved badly, her parents loved her, so did
the people in that kingdom.
Day
by day, the princess grew more beautiful. No girls couldn’t
compare with her. In a few days, Princess would be 17 years old. So, people of
that palace, they bought many presents for her. Their presents gift were very
beautiful. Prabu collected the presents. There really many presents. Then Prabu
stored them in building. Sometimes he could take them to give to his people.
People
in
: “Your majesty Prabu, this is I bring a
present to you beautiful daughter”
Representative
of kingdom : “
We were so glad to know this happy news,
I’m sorry, I just can give your daughter like
this. Please accept my present.”
King
: “I will accept your present. Thank you for
this present”
People
in :
“Your majesty Prabu, this is I bring a
present to you beautiful daughter.”
King
: “I will accept your present. Thank you for
this present.”
Prabu
only took some gold and jewels. Then he brought them to the gold smith.
King
: “Please make a beautiful necklace for my
daughter.”
Goldsmith
: “My pleasure, Your Majesty.”
The
goldsmith worked with all his heart and his ability. He wanted to create the
most beautiful necklace in the word because he loved the princess.
Goldsmith
: “This is the beautiful necklace. I make it
with my heart and my ability. I hope you happy with this necklace.”
King
: “Ohh… how beautiful this necklace.”
The
birthday came. People gathered in the palace field. When Prabu and Queen
appeared, people welcomed them happily. Prabu and his wife waved to their
beloved people.
Cheers
were louder and louder when the princess appeared with her fabulous pretty
face. Everybody admired her beauty. Prabu got up from his chair. A man gave him
a small and glamorous pillow. A wonder full necklace was on it. Prabu took that
necklace.
King
: “My beloved daughter, today I give this
necklace to you. This necklace is gift from people in this country. They love
you so much. They presented it for you to express their happiness, because you
have growing to a women. Please wear this necklace.”
Princess
accepted the necklace. She looked at the necklace in a glance.
Princess
: “I don’t want to accept it! It’s
ugly!”
Then
she threw the necklace. The beautiful necklace was broken. The gold and jewels
were spread out on the floor.
Everybody
couldn’t say anything. They never thought that
their beloved princess would did that cruel thing. Nobody spoke. In their
silence people heard the queen crying. Than everybody was crying.
Then
there was a miracle. Earth was crying. Suddenly, from the underground, a spring
emerged. It made a pool of water. The place was getting full. Soon place became
a big lake. The lake sank all of the kingdom.
Nowadays
the water on that lake is not as full as before. There is only a small lake
now. People called the lake “Talaga Warna”.
It is mean “Lake of Colour”.
It’s located in Puncak, West Java. On a
bright day, the lake is full of colour. So beautiful and amazing. These colors
come from shadows of forest, plants, flowers, and sky around the lake. But some
people said that the colours are from the princess’s
necklace, which spreads at the bottom of the lake.
