LUTUNG KASARUNG
THE LEGEND OF LUTUNG KASARUNG
BY BENNY
Here is the legend of Lutung
Kasarung,
Long-long time ago, in Java Island
there was a story about Prabu Tapa Agung.
Prabu Tapa Agung was an old king. He
had two daughters, Purbararang and Purbasari. Prabu Tapa Agung planned to
retire as a king. He wanted Purbasari to replace him as the leader of the
kingdom.
Hearing this, Purbararang was angry.
“You cannot ask her to be the queen, Father. I’m older than she is. It’s
supposed to be me, not her!” said Purbararang. But the king still chose
Purbasari to be the next queen. Purbararang then set a bad plan with her
fiance, Indrajaya. Together they went to a witch and asked her to put a spell
on Purbasari. Later, Purbasari had bad skin. There were black dots all over her
body. “You are not as beautiful as I am. You cannot be the queen. Instead, you
have to leave this palace and stay in a jungle,” said Purbararang. Purbasari
was very sad. Now she had to stay in the jungle. Everyday she spent her time
playing with some animals there.
There was one monkey that always
tried to cheer her up. It was not just an ordinary monkey, he had magical
power. And he also could talk with humans. The monkey’s name was Lutung
Kasarung. He was actually a god. His name was Sanghyang Gurumina.
Lutung Kasarung planned to help
Purbasari. He made a small lake and asked her to take a bath there. Amazingly,
her bad skin was cured. Now she got her beautiful skin back. After that, she
asked Lutung Kasarung to accompany her to go back to the palace.
Purbararang was very shocked. She
knew she had to come up with another bad idea. She then said, “Those who have
longer hair will be the queen.” The king then measured his daughters’ hair.
Purbasari had longer hair. But Purbararang did not give up. “A queen must have
a handsome husband. If my fiance is more handsome than yours, then I will be the
queen,” said Purbararang.
Purbasari was sad. She knew
Purbararang’s fiance, Indrajaya, was handsome. And she did not have a fiance
yet. “Here is my fiancĂ©, Indrajaya. Where is yours?” asked Purbararang. Lutung
Kasarung came forward. Purbararang was laughing very hard. “Your fiance is a
monkey, ha ha ha.”
Suddenly, Lutung Kasarung changed into a very a handsome
man. He was even more handsome than Indrajaya.
Purbasari then became the queen. She
forgave Purbararang and her fiance and let them stay in the palace.
