Long ago, there was a handsome young man named Awang Sukma who lived in a forest
peacefully. Once a month, Awang Sukma went to a clear lake under a shady tree to admire its
beauty. "Hmm, how beautiful this lake is!" Awang Sukma wondered.
The next day, when Awang Sukma was blowing his flute, he heard the noise near the
lake. Looking for the source of the noise, Awang Sukma saw 7 beautiful girls playing water.
"Could they be the fairies?" thought Awang Sukma. The girls were not aware if they are being
watched and left their shawls scattered around the lake. Captivated by their beauty, Awang
Sukma took one of the shawls.
Hearing to suspicious sound, the fairies were shocked and hurriedly took their shawl.
Unfortunately, the youngest fairy could not find her shawl. She was left alone, confused and
terrified. At that time, Awang Sukma came out of hiding. "Do not worry pretty lady, I will

nowhere to go, she had no other choice than accepted the proposal.

Sukma came over and apologized for his improper action, but she didn’t listen to him and flew
