Long-long time ago, on the island of
Simbau, in the Sulawesi sea, there lived a kind and his beautiful
daughter. The Princess wasn’t only beautiful, but she was also
wise and kind.
Many princess wanted to marry the king’s daughter and this made the king confused. He, then, annouced a contest : whoever presented the princess with the
most valuable gift would marry her. Takatuliang,
a poor wood carver, wanted to join the contest but he was so poor that he had nothing to present. Then, he went far away into the forest. There
he chose the best tree and carved into a doll. Next, he took an
old piece of cloth and sewed it into a dress for a doll. After that, he cut his own hair and glued
it to the doll’s head.
On the day
of the contest, all of the princess gathered before the king
and the princess. On by one, they presented their gifts: diamonds, silk, gold, jewelry. Then came Takatuliang’s turn.
‘What do you have?’asked the princess.
‘I bring only a doll’. said
Takatuliang softly
‘How many doll’s like this do you have?’asked the princess again.
“Only this one. I carved it my
self and dekorated it with my own hair and my father’s
old cloth. He died and this is the
only thing he left me”. answered takatuliang.
The princess was very touched to hear Takatuliang’s story. She decided to marry Takatuliang because he had presented her everything he had. Not long after
that, They, Takatuliang and the princess got married and lived happily ever
after.
