The legend Sura and Baya

A long time ago, there were two animals, Sura and Baya. Sura was the name of a
shark and Baya was a crocodile. They lived in a sea.One day Sura and Baya were looking
for some food. Suddenly, Baya saw a goat “Yummy, this is my lunch,” said Baya.

“No way! This is my lunch. You are greedy” said Sura. Then they fought for the
goat. After several hours, they were very tired.Feeling tired of fighting, they lived in the
different places. Sura lived in the water and Baya lived in the land. The border was the
beach, so they would never fight again.

One day, Sura went to the land and looked for some food in the river. He was
very hungry and there was not much food in the sea. Baya was very angry when he knew
that Sura broke the promise. They fought again.They both hit each other. Sura bit Baya’s
tail. Baya did the same thing to Sura. He bit very hard until Sura finally gave up and went
back to the sea. Baya was happy.

The cowardly lion

Dorothy and her friends were walking through the forest when they heard a terrible roar.
The next moment, a great lion ran onto the road. Dorothy and her friends were very frightened,
but little Toto ran ahead and barked at the huge beast.
When the Lion saw the little dog, he opened up his mouth as if to bite him. Dorothy
became so angry at this that she came forward and slapped the lion on the nose.
“Don’t you dare a bite Toto “She shouted.
“You ought to be ashamed of yourself, a big lion like you, trying to bite little dog !”
“I did not bite him “said the lion, as he rubbed his nose with this big paw.
“No, but you tried to “ Dorothy said. “You are nothing but a coward!”
The lion felt very ashamed. He told Dorothy and her friends that although he was the
king ofthe beasts, he was actually a coward. He was afraid of almost everything and everybody.
The Scarecrow scratched his straw head. Then he said “Maybe Oz could give you
courage”
“If only I had courage, then I could truly be King of the Beasts “said the Lion.
So Dorothy, The Scarecrow and the Tinman invited the lion to join them on their journey
to the Emerald City. The lion agreed and the friends continued to follow the Yellow Brick Road
toward the home of the Great Oz.

 The Legend of Pari Temple
A long time ago, there lived an old man in Penanggungan Mountain. His name was Kiai
Gede Penanggungan. He had supernatural power. Kiai Gede Penanggungan had a beautiful
daughter named Dewi Walangangin who hadn't married yet. Kiai Gede Penanggungan prayed
days and nights for her daughter to have a husband. One day, a young handsome man came to his
place. The name of the man was Jaka Pandelengan. He wanted to be Kiai Penanggungan's
student. Kiai Gede agreed to have Jaka as his student with one condition that he would marry her
daughter. Jaka Pandelengan and Dewi Walangangin soon got married. Kiai Gede Penanggungan
taught Jaka many things.
After several years, now it was time for the couple to live separately from Kiai Gede
Penanggungan. They would move to another village. Kiai Gede Penanggungan gave some seeds
of pari or paddy to couple. He asked the couple to plant the seeds. He also warned to the couple
not to be arrogant when they want were rich from planting the seeds. Soon, the seeds grew a lot
of rice. Now the couple became very rich. The poor neighbours came to the couple to ask for
same pari seeds. But the couple refused to help them.
Kiai Gede heard to couple's and behaviour. Soon they visited the couple. He met them
when the couple was working in the field. Kiai Gede talked to the couple. He reminded the
couple not to be arrogant. But the couple ignored him. They said nothing to Kiai Gede. Kiai
Gede got very angry. Then he said "You two are like temples. You cannot listen to me." Right
after he said those words, an incredible thing happened. Slowly, Jaka and Dewi turned into
temples. Because the temples stood among the pari, people then named them as Pari Temple.

The Magic Candle

One day a young wanderer got lost in a wood. Suddenly he was a light from an old hut.
He knocked on the door, and old woman opened it. She was crying. She said that the devil had
stolen her magic candle. The candle could grant anything she asked. The wanderer asked where
the devil lived. “In a castle not far from here,” said the old woman.
The wanderer went to the castle. There she found the devil, but he was old and weak. Therefore
when the wanderer grabbed the magic candle from the devil’s table and ran away, he couldn’t
chase him.
But the wanderer was not a kind man. He didn’t return the candle to the old woman, but kept it
for himself. He lit the candle and made a wish, “I want to go far away from here.” Suddenly the
genies appeared and took him to a beautiful palace. There was a party in the palace. The
wanderer wanted to make some money. So he lit the candle again and wished for some jewellery.
He sold them to the guests and was soon making a lot of money. Then the Princess came to buy
the jewellery, but there was nothing left.
The wanderer fell in love with her and asked her to marry him. The kind Princess said yes, and
they got married the next day. In this happiness, the wanderer told the Princess about his
adventure and the magic candle. Hearing that, the Princess got very angry. At night she lit the
candle and wished that the wanderer disappeared.
In the morning, the wanderer awoke and found himself back in his ugly house in a village.
