The Legend of n'Daung Snake

Once upon a time in Bengkulu, a widow lived with three daughters. They all were beautiful but they had
different personalities. The oldest and the middle daughter were lazy but the youngest daughter was diligent.

One day, their mother was terribly ill. She could be cured only by eating special leaves that cooked by
magical fire. Unfortunately, the leaves and magical fire were on top of the mountain and were guarded by a
snake. It was not just an ordinary snake.
The snake had magical power. The name was n'Daung Snake. The oldest and the middle daughter did not
want to go to the top of the mountain.
"I will go there, Mother. I'll take the leaves and the magical fire for you," said the youngest daughter.
Actually, she was also very scared of the n'Daung Snake.
Then, after several days of climbing the mountain, she finally arrived at the n'Daung Snake's place. It was a
cave. The special leaves and the magical fire were inside the cave. Suddenly, she heard some noises. The
n'Daung Snake was coming! She was very terrified but she did not want to run. She wanted to talk about her
problem to the Snake.
In just a minute, the snake was already in front of her.
"Who are you, young girl? What are you doing here?" asked the snake politely.
She was surprised. Although the snake looked scary, he was very polite. Then, she asked the snake to give
her the leaves and the magical fire.
"You can take them, but you have to be my wife. Agree?" asked the snake.
She did not think twice. She just wanted her mother to be cured soon. Then, the snake gave her the leaves
and the torch burned by the magical fire. She directly went home.
Later, the mother got cured. The youngest daughter knew that she had to keep her promise to n'Daung
Snake.
So, she left the house without saying goodbye. When she arrived at the cave, it was already in evening. She
went inside the cave but she could not find the snake. She met a handsome man instead.
"Don't be afraid. My name is Prince Abdul Rahman Alamsjah. My uncle cursed me into a snake only during
daylight. In the evening, I became a human. My uncle did not want me to be a king," explained the man.
In the meantime, her mother and her older sisters were looking for her. They finally arrived at n'Daung
Snake's cave. It was also already in the evening. They saw the youngest daughter was with a handsome man.
After they knew who the man was, the older sisters were jealous. They burned the snakeskin. They hoped
n'Daung Snake could not change back to a human.
However, the result was the opposite. By burning the snakeskin, the spell was broken. Prince Abdul Rahman
Alamsjah was free from the curse.
He then asked his wife to go with him to the palace. He would be the next king and send his uncle to jail.
The youngest daughter also asked her mother to stay with them in the palace. How about the older sisters?
They were ashamed of their behavior, so they stayed in the cave.

Puss in Boots

Once upon a time there was a poor miller who had three sons.
When the miller died, the first two sons greedily took everything and left the house. They only left behind
the cat for the third son. The son was very sad. He loved his father the most and wept for him and said, “I
have nothing but this cat! I will eat him and then soon, I shall die too!” Hearing this, the cat said, “Master,
please give me a bag full of carrots and grain and see what great wonders I can do! Please give me a coat
and your boots, too!” The miller’s son gave the cat all that he asked for.
Puss in Boots now set off for the jungle. He laid a trap with carrots in it and caught a rabbit. Puss in Boots
also caught a couple of partridges with the grain his master had given him. Puss in Boots then went to meet
the king. He presented the partridges and rabbit to the king and said, “Your Majesty! These are gifts from
my master, the Marquis of Carabas!” The king was very pleased with the gifts.
On his way back home, Puss in Boots passed by some fields where harvesters were working in the sun. He
commanded them, “If anyone asks you whom this field belongs to, you must reply that it belongs to the
Marquis of Carabas! If you do not agree, I will get the ogre to eat you all up!” The workers were frightened
of the ogre and agreed to do so.
When Puss in Boots reached home, he told his master, “Master, you will be meeting the king soon! Do as I
say. Go to the river nearby and have a bath!” The man did as his cat told him to. He took off his clothes and
jumped into the river. Puss in Boots immediately took all the clothes and hid behind a rock nearby. When
king’s carriage passed by, the cat went up to the king and said, “Your Majesty! My master is drowning!
Some thugs robbed him of his fine clothes and pushed him into this river! Please save him!” The king, on
 hearing this, commanded his servants, “Save the Marquis of Carabas and give him the finest clothes to
wear!” They did as he told them. The cat and his master were very happy. Now, when the carriage went
past the fields, the king stopped by and asked the workers, “To whom do these fields belong?” They
replied, “The Marquis of Carabas, Your Majesty!” The king was very pleased to hear this.
Puss in Boots, in the meantime, ran ahead of the king’s carriage. He went to the castle nearby. There lived a
ferocious ogre. The cat said to him, I have heard of your mighty powers! I have heard you can become
anything you want to!” The ogre laughed and decided to show Puss in Boots all his powers. He replied, “Of
course!” and instantly turned into a lion. Then the ogre became a monkey and finally became his real self.
Now, the clever cat challenged, “I am sure you cannot become one of the tiniest creatures in the world! You
can never become a mouse!” The ogre was enraged and said, “Watch this!” Saying this, he turned into a
tiny mouse. Puss in Boots quickly pounced on him and ate him up!
When the king and the miller’s son reached the castle, the cat said. “Welcome, Your Majesty! This is the
castle of the Marquis of Carabas!” Hearing this, the king was very pleased. He asked the miller’s son to
marry his youngest and loveliest daughter. The miller’s son knew that the king’s daughter was very
beautiful and agreed. Soon, they were married and lived happily ever after in the castle.
