Cindelaras

Long long time ago, there lived a king by the name Raden Putra. He ruled Jenggala Kingdom with his
beautiful queen. He also had a concubine. His wife, the queen, and the concubine had a very
contradictory character. The queen was a kindhearted and wise person while the concubine was a
cunning and envious person.

One day, the concubine decided to get rid of the queen so she can have the love and full attention of
Raden Putra all for herself. With the help of an evil shaman, the concubine pretended to get ill and put
the blame on the queen. All evidence that the shaman and the concubine brought to the king proved
that the guilt was on the queen’s hand, so the king decided to banish the queen from the palace and
instructed his servant to kill her without knowing that the queen was pregnant.

The queen was forced to leave the palace. The servant escort the queen until they arrived in the jungle.
The servant believed that the queen was innocent but there was nothing that he can do to defend the
queen in front of the king. So the servant decided to build a small hut for the queen. When he was about
to return to the palace, he ask for a piece of the queen’s clothes and put some blood of a wild rabbit on
it so he can report to the king that he had fulfilled his duty.

The queen lived all by herself for months until she gave birth to a boy. The boy was very healthy and
handsome. The queen named him Cindelaras. Years passed by, Cindelaras grew into a kind, skillful and
strong young man. He spent his time playing with animals in the jungle. One day, an eagle dropped a
chicken egg in front of Cindelaras. He picked it up and brought it to his hut.

Cindelaras kept the egg in a warm jar for a couple of days until it finally hatched. He took care of the
chicken until it grew into a strong and bulky rooster. One day Cindelaras was so surprised when he heard
that his rooster could talk just like human. At that moment the rooster said:

“My master is Cindelaras”

“His house is in the middle of jungle”

“His father is Raden Putra”

and the rooster kept repeating it over and over again. Cindelaras who felt curious about the rooster
statement finally decided to ask to his mother about his origin. At first, his mother refused to tell him the
truth but Cindelaras kept forcing her to explain everything until his mother had no other choice but to
tell him the whole story.

When he learned the truth about himself, Cindelaras decided to go to Jenggala Kingdom to see his
father, Raden Putra. On his way to the palace, he went through some village where he joined some
cockfighting. His rooster won all the fight and he became famous in no time especially with his unique
rooster who kept saying that he was the son of the king in the end of every fight.
The news about Cindelaras and his mighty rooster spread quickly and reached the palace. Raden Putra
who was a fan of cockfighting invited Cindelaras to the palace and challenged his rooster to fight the
king’s rooster. He was so convinced that his rooster would not lose so he offered all of his wealth as the
bet. Cindelaras agreed with the king’s offer and he offered his life as the bet if he lost the fight as he
thought that it was the only precious thing that he can offer to the king.

The fight between the two roosters finally began. They both attacked each other fiercely. The king’s
rooster tried so hard to laid its punch to Cindelaras’ rooster but Cindelaras’ rooster was very agile and it
could dodge every blow. The battle took some time until finally Cindelaras’ rooster saw an opening and
launched its ultimate attack and took down the king’s rooster. Cindelaras’ rooster won the fight and it
started saying some things that it always said in every fight.

“My master is Cindelaras”

“His house is in the middle of jungle”

“His father is Raden Putra”

Raden Putra was so shocked to hear that and he asked to Cindelaras about it. Cindelaras confirmed the
rooster statements, he told Raden Putra that he was his son. Suddenly, Cindelaras mother came out from
the crowd and walked toward Raden Putra and Cindelaras. She explained everything to Raden Putra.
Realizing his mistake, Raden Putra apologized to the queen and also Cindelaras. He also asked them to
return to the palace and stay with him. As for the concubine and the evil shaman, Raden Putra placed
them in a jail.
