2. George and the dragón
Once upon a time there was a brave knight called George. George had lots of
adventures as he travelled by horse across many lands.
One day he came to a small village and met a man who lived in a cave next to the
village. The hermit told the knight about the awful things that were happening there. A
terrible dragon had come to live in the lake and attacked the village every day. The
villagers didn’t know what to do. First, they gave the dragon all their food, but the
dragon just took the food and still attacked the village. So then the villagers gave the
dragon all the animals from their farms. The dragon took all the animals, but continued
to attack the villagers.
So then they gave the dragon all their gold and jewels. The dragon took all their money,
but still was not satisfied. The king sent his army to try and capture the dragon, but the
dragon was too strong and the knights of the army were too scared and they ran away.
With nothing left to give, the king could only think of one thing to helping protect his
people. He sent his only daughter, the princess, to the lake to wait for the dragon.
When George heard this he rode as fast as he could to the lake. Just then the dragon
jumped out from the lake and was going to eat the princess. George attacked the
dragon.
He fought very bravely, won the fight and killed the dragon. George and the princess
returned to the village and everyone was very pleased that they would have no more
problems with the dragon.

The Legend of Salatiga
Many years ago, there was a sunan who was very honest. He taught about religion and
the meaning of life. His name is Sunan Kalijogo. He adventured to spread his
lesson. One day, he arrived in avillage. He went to the village chief’s house. Sunan
Kalijogo didn’t say his real name and he asked for a job. The chief’s wife said that he
could help to cut grass for horses.
Sunan Kalijogo liked to live simply. Soon after that, the chief realized that the
man was Sunan Kalijogo. The chief was very surprised. Then, he decided to follow the
Sunan’s lesson. To follow the Sunan lesson, he had to leave all his
properties, but his wife didn’t agree. So, his wife brought jewelry in a
bamboo.
When they were taking a rest in a village, there was a robber. He took all the
things from the Chief’s wife. Sunan said that this place would be busy and full of people.
He gave the place a name. The name was Salahtiga, because in this place there were
three wrong people. There was the chief, his wife and the robber who like to
collect properties. And now, the place is called Salatiga
