LUTUNG KASARUNG
Long time ago, there was a king named Prabu Tapa
Agung. Prabu Tapa Agung was an old king. He had two daughters, Purbararang and
Purbasari. Prabu Tapa Agung planned to retire as a king. He wanted Purbasari to
replace him as the leader of the kingdom.
Hearing this, Purbararang was angry. "You
cannot ask her to be the queen, Father. I'm older than she is. It's supposed to
be me, not her!" said Purbararang. But the king still chose Purbasari to
be the next queen. Purbararang then set a bad plan with her fiance, Indrajaya.
Together they went to a witch and asked her to put a spell on Purbasari. Later,
Purbasari had bad skin. There were black dots all over her body. "You are
not as beautiful as I am. You cannot be the queen. Instead, you have to leave
this palace and stay in a jungle," said Purbararang. Purbasari was very
sad. Now she had to stay in the jungle. Everyday she spent her time playing
with some animals there.
There was one monkey that always tried to cheer her
up. It was not just an ordinary monkey, he had magical power. And he also could
talk with humans. The monkey's name was Lutung Kasarung. He was actually a god.
His name was Sanghyang Gurumina.
Lutung Kasarung planned to help Purbasari. He made a
small lake and asked her to take a bath there. Amazingly, her bad skin was
cured. Now she got her beautiful skin back. After that, she asked Lutung
Kasarung to accompany her to go back to the palace.
Purbararang was very shocked. She knew she had to
come up with another bad idea. She then said, "Those who have longer hair
will be the queen." The king then measured his daughters' hair. Purbasari
had longer hair. But Purbararang did not give up. "A queen must have a
handsome husband. If my fiance is more handsome than yours, then I will be the
queen," said Purbararang.
Purbasari was sad. She
knew Purbararang's fiance, Indrajaya, was handsome. And she did not have a
fiance yet. "Here is my fiancé, Indrajaya. Where is yours?" asked
Purbararang. Lutung Kasarung came forward. "What ?? Your fiance is a
monkey ??" Purbararang was laughing very hard. Suddenly, Lutung Kasarung
changed into a very a handsome man. He was even more handsome than Indrajaya.
Purbasari then became the queen. She forgave Purbararang and her fiance and let them stay in the palace.
