The Legend of Telaga Warna

Long time ago there was a kingdom in west java named Kutatanggeuhan. Kutatanggeuhan was a prosperous and peaceful kingdom because the King was very wise. He was Prabu Suwartalaya and his wife, Queen Purbamanah. Everyone in Kutatanggeuhan lived peacefully, but sadly, the King and the Queen didn’t have child yet. The royal advisor said that they should adopted a child. But, they rejected it. They always prayed to God and finally the Queen was pregnant. The people were very happy and gave many presents to kingdom.

9 months later, the baby was born. Her name was Gilang Rukmini. The King and the Queen were very happy. They gave everything that she wanted. And the princess became really spoiled. in her 17th birthday, the king went to jewelry craftsman and ask him to made a beautiful necklace from gold for the princess. The craftsman, with pleasure, made the necklace for her. After the necklace had finished, the king gave it to the princess. The princess glance at it and suddenly throw the necklace . the gold and the diamond was spread on the floor. She said that the necklace was so ugly and she didn’t like it at all. The queen was very upset and cried. She didn’t expect that the princess would do that. The atmosphere was very quiet. Then people in Kutatanggeuhan started to cry. Suddenly water came out from the ground. No one could stop it. The kingdom started to sink and finally it turned into a lake.

Nowadays, in a sunny day, we can see the lake is full with beautiful colors. It comes from the shade of forest, plants, flowers around the lake. But, the people said, it comes from the necklace that Gilang Rukmini threw.

Holiday

During lebaran holiday, I spent my days with my big family. They were come to my house and stayed for several days. I was very happy, because it’s not often to meet my big family in weekday.


My uncle came with his complete fishing tools. He wanted to fishing with my father. In the past, they were really like fishing. So, my father brought us to Carita beach. My father and my uncle could go fishing, while the others could play on the beach. Our trip to the cottage was not very happy. We got stuck until 11 hours.

Early in the morning, my father and my uncle sailed to the sea to fishing. About 8AM,  Me and my cousins were playing on the beach and swimming on the swimming pool. Unfortunately, one of my cousin seemed ill, so she couldn’t enjoy the holiday. After that, we took many photos to remembered these moment.

We felt really tired, so we back to our cottage and took a bath. My father and my uncle hadn’t come. They were still enjoyed their fishing time until 2pm. My father told me that he got many many many fish. Then they arrived in cottage at 3.30 PM.
