capture Pilandok, imprison him in a cage and drop him
into the ocean.

His men obey his orders. They are able to get Pilandok
and put him inside a cage. DaTu Usman’s men get
tired, they rest under a coconut tree and fall asleep. A
merchant passes by and hears Pilandok crying. The
merchant asks why he is crying and Pilandok bluffs
that he does not want to marry the princess which is the
reason why he is in a cage.

 CLIMAX
The merchant believes Pilandok, takes pity on him and offers
to exchange places with him together with the clothings. The
King is shocked when he sees Pilandok again roaming in his
kingdom. So, he asked why he was still alive when he
thought that Pilandok has already drowned by the ocean.
And Pilandok makes another bluff.
He says he was saved by his ancestors living in an
underwater kingdom. The Sultan did not believe Pilandok's
stories. Pilandok then dives into the water and comes up
with a beautiful giant pearl.

 FALLING ACTION
So Pilandok was able to convince him that there was a
kingdom under the sea. The Sultan sought to reach the
bottom of the sea and ordered Pilandok to put him in a
cage and take him under the sea because he wanted to
see the treasure. Pilandok ask the sultan of who would
lead the kingdom. The Sultan will leave an order that
he will be made a temporary successor but Pilandok
said that no one should know about the underwater
kingdom.
PLOT of the Story:

 RESOLUTION
The sultan agreed and gave his crown and all the proofs
of being a sultan to Pilandok.So they both boarded a
boat. Arriving in the middle of the sea, the cage
carrying the sultan was thrown. Immediately the cage
sank and the sultan died. Pilandok has since become
the sultan.
