hiding place and greets her.
Jaka Tarub. : “ What are you doing here ? And why did you cry ? “.
Nawang Wulan : “Maybe, I have to tell you first. Jaka Tarub, actually I am an angel, I am from the sky
emperor. My father is a king, he was very wise and nice. If you know, after the rain fall, me and my 6
older sisters always play here. And, today, they left me alone here because I lost my shawl“.

could cook rice with just a bar of rice and when it had done the bowl will be full of rice. But there was
