Rawa Pening
Once upon a time, there was a little poor boy came
into a little village. He was very hungry and weak.
He knocked at every door and asked for some food,
but nobody cared about him. Nobody wanted to
help the little boy.
Finally, a generous woman helped him. She
gave him shelter and a meal. When the boy
wanted to leave, this old woman gave him a
“lesung”, a big wooden mortar for pounding
rice. She reminded him, “please remember, if
there is a flood you must save yourself..
Use this “lesung” as a boat”. The “lesung” was happy and
thanked the old woman.The little boy continued his
journey. While he was passing through the village, he saw
many people gathering on the field. The boy came closer
and saw a stick stuck in the ground. People challenged
each other to pull out that stick. Everybody tried, but
nobody succeeded. “Can I try?” asked the little boy. The
crowd laughed mockingly. The boy wanted to try his luck
so he stepped forward and pulled out the stick. He could
do it very easily. Everybody was dumbfounded
Suddenly, from the hole left by stick, water
spouted out. It did not stop until it flooded the
village. And no one was saved from the water
except the little boy and the generous old woman
who gave him shelter and meal. As she told him, he
used the “lesung” as a boat and picked up the old
woman. The whole village became a huge lake. It is
now known as Rawa Pening Lake in Salatiga, Central
Java, Indonesia.
Thank’s for
your attention
