The Golden Snail

Once Upon a time. There lived a king named Kertamarta. King Kertamarta was the
king of Daha Kingdom. The king had 2 daughters, they were Galuh Ajeng and Candra
Kirana who were pretty and kind. Candra Kirana had been betrothed with Raden Inu
Kertapati, Prince of Kahuripan who was handsome and wise.But Galuh Ajeng, the sister
of Candra Kirana was very jealous of her. It was because Galuh Ajeng was interested in
Raden Inu. Galuh Ajeng then met the witch to put a spell on Candra Kirana. She also
defamed her so as Candra Kirana was exiled from the palace. When Candra Kirana went
along the coast, the witch also emerged and spelled her to become a golden snail. But the
spell would be broken if the golden snail met her fiance, Raden inu.
One day an old woman, who was looking for the fish with her net, caught the golden
snail. The golden snail was brought to her home and placed in the jug.The next day the
old woman as usual went to the sea to catch fish but she caught nothing. She went home
disappointedly. But when she arrived at her hut, she was startled because she saw various
delicious foods on the table. The old woman wondered who sent those foods. So the
following days the old woman underwent the similar incident. The next morning the old
woman pretended to go to the sea but then she carried out surveillance of what happened.
She saw the golden snail turned into a pretty girl and then started to cook. The old
woman then asked her, “Who on earth are you, beautiful girl?”“I am the princess of
Daha Kingdom who was spelled and turned into a golden snail by my sister’s witch
because she is jealous of me,” said the golden snail before she turned again into the
golden snail. The old woman amazed by what she just saw.
The prince Inu Kertapati looked for Candra Kirana after realizing that the
princess was disappeared. He searched for her by disguising as a commoner. The witch
who followed him, turned herself into the crow to bring misfortune on Raden Inu
Kertapati. Raden Inu Kertapati was very surprised seeing the speaking crow. He
considered that the crow was magical and then he followed what the crow said. In fact
the crow gave Raden Inu Kertapati the wrong direction. In his journey Raden Inu
Kertapati met an old man who was hungry, and gave him food. The old man evidently
was the person who had supernatural power and he helped Raden Inu Kertapati from the
crow. The old man struck the crow with his wand, and the crow turned to smoke. The old
man told Raden Inu Kertapati where Candra Kirana was. He told Raden Inu Kertapati to
go to Dadapan village. After going for days he arrived to Dadapan village. He
approached a hut to ask for water since he was very thirsty. But he was very startled,
after through the window he saw his fiance, Candra Kirana, was cooking. Suddenly the
spell was broken because of the meeting.
Candra Kirana introduced Raden Inu to the old woman with whom she stayed
with for all this time. After thanked to the old woman Raden Inu Kertapati brought his
fiance to the palace. The King Kertamarta, who finally knew what Galuh Ajeng did to
Candra Kirana, apologized to Candra Kirana and so Candra Kirana did. Frightened of
being punished, Galuh Ajeng ran away to the forest but she slipped and fell into the
 chasm.After Raden Inu Kertapati married Candra Kirana, he asked the kind old woman
to stay in the palace and they all lived happily ever after.
