Once upon a time, there was a couple
living in a palace. They were Prince Raden Putra and Dewi Limaran. Prince Raden
Putra's father was the king of the kingdom.
One day, Dewi Limaran was walking around in the palace garden. Suddenly she saw
a snail. It was ugly and disgusting.
"Yuck!" said Dewi Limaran and
then she threw it away into a river.
She did not know that the snail was
actually an old and powerful witch. She could transform herself into anything.
The witch was angry to Dewi Limaran. The witch put a spell on her and changed
her into a golden snail. The witch then threw it away into the river.
The golden snail was drifting away in
the river and got caught into a net. An old woman was fishing and used her net
to catch some fish. She was surprised to see a golden snail in her net. She
took it and brought it home. When the old woman woke up in the morning, she was
surprised that the house was in the good condition.
Far away in an isolated village there
was a young rich woman. The housethat she had been living in was very big. Her
wealth was plentiful. Theyoung woman lived by herself. She didn’t have any
friend at all.
“Wouw, I am very rich! Ha…ha…ha, I am
the richest woman in this village!” said the young woman while she was looking
at her gold and jewelries. It was so pity, that the young woman was very
miserly. Her plentiful wealth never been used to help others.
Once upon a time there was a prosperous village in a far away
island called Sumatra. In northern part of the island, lived a farmer whose
name was Toba. He lived alone in a hut by a small forest. He worked on his
farmland to grow rice and vegetables that he sells to local market. Once day he
wanted to catch some fish so he went to a river and fished there. He was very
surprised when he got a big fish. The fish was as big as human being. Soon he
went home and put the fish in his kitchen. He planned to cook the fish for his
dinner that night. When he got to his house that afternoon he took a bath. Then
as he walked into his bedroom after taking a bath Toba was very shocked. Do you
want to know what happened?
