Long ago
there was a kingdom in West Java.
The kingdom was ruled by a king called
Prabu.Prabu was a kind
and wise king,
and there was no hunger
in his kingdom.
But Prabu and his queen
didn’t have any
children. It made
them very, very
sad.
Then one day Prabu
went into the jungle. There
he prayed to his god for a child. A few
months later, the
queen was expecting a baby, and all the people in the kingdom
were happy. Prabu
and the queen loved their
little daughter and gave her everything. Th is made the princess a very spoiled
girl. If she didn’t get what she wanted, she became very
angry. But even though
the princess behaved
badly, her parents
loved her, and so did
the people in the kingdom.
Day by day, the
princess grew more
beautiful. When she
was 17, her parents invited all the people
in the kingdom to a party. Prabu
took their gift
s of gold and bright
jewels and had a beautiful necklace made for his daughter.
On the day of the birthday,
people gathered in the palace
field. When Prabu and the queen appeared, people
welcomed them happily.
The cheers were
even louder when the
beautiful princess appeared. Prabu took the necklace. “My beloved daughter,” he said, “today I give this
necklace to you.
It is a gift from
the people of this country
because they love you so much.”The princess looked at the necklace. “I don’t want it! It’s ugly!” she shouted, and she threw
the necklace on the ground,
where it broke
into pieces. Everyone was shocked. Nobody
spoke.They never thought
that their beloved
princess would do that
terrible thing.
In their
silence people heard
the queen crying.
Everyone was sad and began crying,
too. A pool of water formed
on the ground. Soon the pool became
a big lake. The lake
sank all of the kingdom.
Today, people
called the lake
Talaga Warna. It means ‘Lake
of Colours’. It is located in Puncak, West Java.
On a bright day, the lake is full of amazing colours,
which in fact come
from the reflection of the trees
and flowers around
it. But some
people believe that
the colours are from the princess’s necklace, which still lies in pieces at the bottom of the lake.

they had dreamt for a child

The following questions numbered 5 to 8 are related to the text below:
It was the rainy
season in Banten.
The villagers who were farmers
were happy as the
rain would water
their rice fields
and soon they
would harvest their
rice. Pak Bong
was one of the farmers. He was also
very happy and planned what
he would buy for himself,
his wife and his beautiful, beloved daughter, Nyi Banjarsari.
One night,
Pak Bong had a terrible dream. An old man came
to him and
said the rain would never stop.
There would be a great
flood. Pak Bong
had the same dream
in the following nights. He decided to tell all
the villagers about
his dream and asked
them to evacuate
to a hill not far
from their village. Everybody laughed at Pak Bong.
“You are joking,
Pak Bong. How can we leave
our rice fields?
We are going to have
a great harvest, remember?”
Pak Bong
did not give
up. He kept
on asking the villagers to evacuate to the hill. Finally some villagers believed him. Together
with his wife
and his daughter Nyi Banjarsari, Pak Bong and his friends
went to the
hill.
In the meantime, heavy
rain fell day and night.
It continued until
water entered the houses. Soon, the village was
flooded! Pak Bong
and his friends could not do anything. They were sad
because their village
was under water.
Then they prayed
and asked how their
village could be saved. The
answer came in Pak
Bong’s dream. In his dream,
the same old man
told him how to save their village. “If you want
the water to dry up, you have
to sacrifice your daughter. She has to jump into
the water!” said
the old man.
Pak Bong
was very sad.
He then told his family
about his dream.
“Father, if this is
the only way to save our
village, I will
jump into the water,” said
Nyi Banjarsari. Her parents
could not prevent their
daughter from jumping
into the water.
After she had drowned, the water dried
up. Pak Bong and his friends then
returned to their village. Although the villagers had lost their
harvest, they still
had their lives
and could re-build
their houses. To show their thankfulness and gratefulness to Nyi Banjarsari, the villagers named
their village ‘Banjarsari’.
