Jaka Tarub
A long time ago, there lived a widow
in a village. She had a son whose name was Jaka Tarub. Everyday, Jaka Tarub
went to a forest to collect some woods and hunting for animals.
One day, when Jaka tarub went to the forest, he heard a
noise from a river near the forest. So, he came closer to the river and
searched for them. He saw seven girls were taking bath in the river. After the
girls were finished, they took their shawl and flew to the sky through a rainbow.
Amazingly, they were not human but they were fairies.
On the next day, Jaka Tarub went back to the river. He had
an idea. When the fairies were taking bath in the river. He stole one of their
shawl. So, after the fairies were finished, one of them whose name was Nawang
Wulan could not find her shawl. Her friends had to go back to the heaven. So,
they left her in the river. Nawang Wulan cried. And then Jaka Tarub approached
her and invited her to stay at his house. Not long after that, they got married
and had a baby girl.
As a fairy, Nawang Wulan had a spiritual power. Everytime
she cooked a rice, she just needed a small portion of rice and when it had
done, the pot will be full of rice. But, the pot musn’t be opened before it had
done.
One day, Jaka Tarub was really curious. He opened the pot
before it had done. Consequently, Nawang Wulan’s spiritual power disappeared.
She had to cook as an ordinary human being. She needed more rice than usual.
The stock of rice in the silo diminished rapidly. Then one day, when she took
rice in the silo, she found her shawl. It hidden by Jaka Tarub.
Finally, as a fairy, she had to come back to the heaven.
Nawang Wulan asked Jaka Tarub to take care her daughter and build a tower.
Every full moon, she will came to the tower to meet her daughter. Then, Nawang
Wulan went back to the heaven and Jaka Tarub was very sad.

Jaka Tarub
Dulu, hiduplah seorang
janda di sebuah desa. Dia memiliki seorang putra yang bernama Jaka Tarub. Setiap hari,
Jaka Tarub pergi
ke hutan untuk mengumpulkan beberapa hutan dan berburu binatang.
Suatu hari, ketika Jaka Tarub pergi ke hutan,
dia mendengar suara dari sungai dekat hutan. Jadi,
ia datang lebih dekat ke sungai dan mencari mereka. Ia
melihat tujuh anak perempuan
sedang mandi di sungai. Setelah gadis-gadis itu selesai, mereka mengambil selendang mereka dan
terbang ke langit melalui pelangi.
Hebatnya, mereka bukan manusia tapi mereka peri.
Pada hari berikutnya, Jaka Tarub
kembali ke sungai. Dia punya ide. Ketika
peri sedang mandi di sungai. Dia mencuri
salah satu selendang mereka.
Jadi, setelah peri
selesai, salah satu dari mereka yang namanya Nawang Wulan
tidak bisa menemukan kerudungnya. Teman-temannya harus kembali ke Kahyangan. Jadi, mereka meninggalkannya
di sungai. Teriak Nawang Wulan. Dan
kemudian Jaka Tarub mendekatinya dan mengajaknya untuk tinggal di rumahnya. Tidak lama setelah itu, mereka menikah dan
memiliki seorang bayi perempuan.
Sebagai peri, Nawang Wulan
memiliki kekuatan spiritual. Setiap kali dia memasak nasi, dia hanya membutuhkan sebagian kecil dari beras dan ketika telah selesai, pot
akan penuh beras. Tapi, pot musn't
dibuka sebelum itu dilakukan.
Suatu hari, Jaka Tarub benar-benar
penasaran. Dia membuka
panci sebelum itu dilakukan. Akibatnya, kekuatan
spiritual Nawang Wulan menghilang. Dia harus
memasak sebagai manusia biasa.
Dia membutuhkan lebih banyak beras dari biasanya. Stok
beras di silo berkurang
dengan cepat. Lalu suatu hari, ketika ia mengambil
beras di silo,
ia menemukan syalnya. Hal disembunyikan oleh Jaka
Tarub.
Akhirnya, sebagai peri, ia harus kembali ke
Kahyangan. Nawang Wulan minta Jaka Tarub untuk
merawat putrinya dan
membangun menara. Setiap bulan purnama, dia akan
datang ke menara untuk
bertemu putrinya. Kemudian,
Nawang Wulan kembali
ke surga dan Jaka Tarub sangat sedih.
