Long long ago there was a kingdom in west java. The kingdom was rulled by a king. People
called their king his majesty prabu.prabu was a kind and wise king.no wonder if that country
was prosperous.there͛s no hunger in this kingdom.

It was a very happy condition.but is was a pity that prabu and his queen hadn͛t got any
children.it made the royal couple very sad.some old men and women who were respected by
prabu suggested the king to adopt a child.but prabu and the queen didn͛t agree.

The queen was very sad .she often cried that was prabu decided to go.he went to the
jungle .there he prayed to god .everyday he begged for a child .his dream come true.a few
months later ,the queen got pregnant .All people in the kingdom felt hepy .they sent many
presents to the palace to exprees their happrinces.

Nine monts later a princess was born.people sent their present against as a give to a little
princeess this baby grew as a beautiful teenager then.

Prabu and queen loved their daughter so much .they gave what ever she wnted .it made
princess a very spoiled girl .when her wish couldn͛t be realized ,she became very angry.she
even said bad things of ten,a true princess wouldn͛t do that .even though the princess behaved
badly,her parents loved her,so did the people in that kingdom.

Day by day, the princess grew more beautiful. No girls were more beautiful than her. In a
few days, Princess woulde be 17 years old. So,peopleof that kingdom went to palace. They
brought many presents for her. Their presents were very beautiful. Prabu collected the
presents. There were really man presents. Then prabu stored them in the building. Some times
he could take them to give to his people.

Prabu only took some gold and jewels .then he brought them to the gold smith .͛please

The birthday came, people gathered in the palace field. When prabu and queen appeared,
people welcomed they happily. Prabu and his wife waved to their beloved people.

Cheers were louder and louder when the princess appeared with her fabulous pretty face.
Everybody admired her beauty. Prabu got up from his chair. A lady gave him a small and
glamorous pillow. A wonderful necklace was on it. Prabu took that necklace. My beloved
daughter, Today I give this necklace to you. This necklace is a gift from people in the country.
They love you so much. They presented it for you to expres their happiness, because you have
growing to a woman. Please, wear this necklace, said prabu.
 Princess accepted the necklace .she looked at the necklace in a glance .͛I don͛t want to
