The
Legend of
Merapi
UNIT 7
A. READ ALOUD
A long time ago, Java Island was crooked, and to fix this, a
mountain needed to be placed in the middle of it.
The mountain, named Mount Jamurdipa, was brought from the
southern sea. However, in the designated spot, two masters, Empu Pamadi and
Empu Rama, were crafting a keris (a traditional heirloom dagger). Batara Narada
and Batara Panyarikan, sent by Batara Guru, asked the masters to leave, but
they refused. They explained that moving while crafting a keris would ruin it.
This disagreement led to a war.
The gods were defeated, which made Batara Guru furious. He
then commanded Batara Bayu to blow Mount Jamurdipa into place. In an
instant, the mountain was moved, crushing the two masters beneath it.
Although the two masters perished, their fireplace remained
active and turned into a crater. This is why Mount Jamurdipa is now called Mount
Merapi.
