The Story Of Salatiga
Many years ago there was a Sunan who was very honest. He taught about religion and the
meaning of life. His name is Sunan Kalijaga. He adventured to spread his knowledge. One day,
he arrived in a village. He went to the village chief’s house. Sunan Kalijaga didn’t say his real
name and he asked for a job. The chief’s wife said that he could help to cut grass for houses.

Sunan Kalijaga liked to live simply. Soon after that, the chief realized that the
man was Sunan Kalijaga. The chief was very surprised. The, he decided to follow the Sunan’s
lesson. To follow the Sunan lesson, he had to leave all his properties, but his wife didn’t agree.
So, his wife brought jewelry in a bamboo.

When they were taking a rest in a village, there was a robber. He took all the
things from the Chief’s wife. Sunan said that this place would be busy and full of people. He
gave the place a name. The name was Salahtiga, because in this place there were three wrong
people. There were the chief, his wife and the robber who like to collect properties. And now, the
place is called Salatiga
