There was a couple who lived on the foot of Mount Bromo, Roro Anteng and
Joko Seger. After eight years of marriage, they had no any children. For six years

they prayed, pleaded with gods to give them children. Finally, their prayer was
compiled on one condition: they would have to sacrifice their youngest son to the
Bromo crater.
After some time, Roro Anteng gave birth to a child. And it happened every year
until they had 25 children. They lived happily and ignored the agreement. The
Mount Bromo erupted signaling that the gods asked the couple to fulfill their
promise. But, they didnt want to let their youngest son, Raden Kusuma, be
sacrificed to the crater.
Raden Kusuma learned about the deal his parents had made. Meanwhile, the lava
from crater had made the people living near the mountain suffered. Raden
Kusuma was a kind and noble man. He did not want his siblings and the people
suffered because of him. Therefore, he went to Mount Bromo and sacrificed
himself to the crater. The eruption suddenly stopped.
Since that day, every Kasodo 14th in the Tenggererese calendar, the Tengger
people give offerings to the crater, as Raden Kusuma had asked before the
sacrifice.

All right, students. Actually, this story tells about Kasodo in Tengger. The story
took place on the foot of Mount Bromo. The characters of the story consisted of a
couple, Roro Anteng and Joko seger, and Raden Kusuma. The couple had a
problem in their life that they did not have children eight years of their marriage.
After they prayed to the gods, finally the couple had 25 children. However, they
had an agreement with gods that the couple had to sacrifice their son to the
Mount Bromo and the couple did not fulfill the agreement. Because of this, the
Mount Bromo erupted and made the people suffered. Raden Kusuma, their son,
was a kind and noble man. To stop eruption, Raden Kusuma sacrificed himself to

the crater of Mount Bromo. Nowadays, Tengger people celebrate Kasodo and do
offerings to the crater of Mount Bromo as Raden Kusuma did.

Once upon a time, there was a young monkey, named Yoko. He was an active
and playful monkey. He lived with his parents and friends in a beautiful
mountain. The mountain was covered with huge old trees that grew tall into the
sky. Some of the trees bore delicious fruits. Every day, Yoko and the other
monkeys would eat the fruits from the trees heartily. It was always cool up there
in the mountain.
When it rained, the water that flowed down the mountain filled the river with
water. Yoko then could see the people from a nearby village came to the river to
catch fish. They also bathed and washed their clothes in the river. These people
did not disturb the trees or the animals that lived there. It made Yoko felt secure
about his family and friends.
One day, one of the monkeys, Tiro, came screaming and jumping hurriedly from
tree to tree. Run! he screamed. Run, everyone! A huge monster is coming this
way. It is eating all the trees with its large sharp teeth.
All the monkeys, birds and other creatures that lived in the forest ran for their
lives. The sound of the monster made was very loud and frightening. They ran

away as far as they could. The monkeys stayed where they were until everything
was quiet again. When they found their way back, they saw that all the trees were
gone. Some people were standing near the monster which was actually a
bulldozer. These people were very different from the ones who went to the river
to fish or bath.
Yoko and the other monkeys felt very sad. They did not have a home anymore.
There was no food left for them. Eventually, they decided to leave the mountain
and find another forest to live in.

Once upon a time, Sunan Kalijaga planned to visit Sunan Muria in Pati, Central
Java. He asked his friend, Ki Rangga, to go with him. Several servants also
joined them to carry their luggages. And they began walking to Sunan Murias
house. Of course there were no cars or trains, so they walked.
Several hours later, Ki Rangga felt tired. Are we still far from Sunan Murias
house? asked Ki Rangga to Sunan Kalijaga. Sunan Kalijaga answered, We are
already in Kadipaten Pati Pesantenan. We will arrive in Sunan Murias house
shortly. Please be patient.Ki Rangga was embarassed to be walking together
with Sunan Kalijaga because Sunan Kalijaga did not look tired while Ki Rangga
was very tired and thirsty. Finally Sunan Kalijaga asked Ki Rangga to take a rest
under a big tree. It was time for Zuhur pray. But there was no water around for
them to clean up or wudlu. Ki Rangga was confused. He said, I dont see any
water nearby. Where should we take wudlu? Sunan Kalijaga only smiled and
said, We should pray to Allah SWT for water. Now you must guard this big tree,
Ki Rangga. It might bring water to us. But remember, everything happens
because of Allah SWT. Dont act alone. You must inform me when water comes

out. I will be behind that hill. Ki Rangga promised Sunan Kalijaga to inform
him when water came out. So Sunan Kalijaga went behind the hill and Ki
Rangga with his servants sat under the big tree. They quickly fell asleep.
Suddenly water came out from the big tree. Ki Rangga and his servants became
wet. They woke up. They were very happy to see the water because they were
very tired and thirsty. They drank and played in the water. Ki Rangga forgot
Sunan Kalijagas message to inform Sunan Kalijaga when water came out.
Behind the hill, Sunan Kalijaga was worried. So he went to the big tree. He was
surprised to see Ki Rangga and his servants were playing in the water. You
forgot my message to inform me when water comes out. Instead, you are playing
in the water like a turtle, said Sunan Kalijaga, softly. A miracle happened. Ki
Rangga and his servants turned into turtles. Ki Rangga was sad. He changed into
turtles because he did not keep his promise. The water formed a pond. It is now
called Sendang Sani, in Pati, Central Java. Many people still visit Sendang Sani
now.
