Long time ago, there was a king named Prabu Tapa Agung. Prabu Tapa Agung was
an old king. He had two daughters, Purbararang and Purbasari. Prabu Tapa Agung planned
to retire as a king. He wanted Purbasari to replace him as the leader of the kingdom.
Hearing this, Purbararang was angry.
"You cannot ask her to be the queen, Father. I'm older than she is. It's supposed to be
me, not her. It’s impossiple, Father!" said Purbararang.
“No, Purbararang, no. It’s because i love you and I choose Purbasari as the queen
because she is only one who deserves to be a queen. After all, she is yourlittlesister. ”,
answered the king.
Purbararang then set a bad plan with her fiance, Indrajaya. They went to
awitch together and asked her to put a spell on Purbasari. Then they gave her a bowl
of drinks and told Purbasari to drink it.Later, Purbasari had a bad skin. There were black dots
all over her body.
“Oh my God, what happen with my skin, my body, my face, and my breathe!” said
Purbasari.
"Hahaha..... You are not as beautiful as I am. You cannot be the queen. Instead, you
have to leave this palace and stay in a jungle," said Purbararang.
Purbasari was very sad. Now she had to stay in the jungle. Everyday she spent her
time playing with some animals there. There was one monkey that always tried to cheer her
up. It was not just an ordinary monkey, he had magical power. And he also could talk with
humans. The monkey's name was Lutung Kasarung. He was actually a God. His name
was Sanghyang Gurumina. Lutung Kasarung planned to help Purbasari. He made a small
lake and asked her to take a bath there.
After that, she asked Lutung Kasarung to accompany her to go back to the palace.
Purbararang was very shocked. She knew she had to come up with another bad idea. She
then said,
"Those who have longer hair will be the queen." Said Purabararang.
The king then measured his daughters' hair. Purbasari had longer hair than
Purbarang. But Purbararang did not give up.
"A queen must have a handsome husband. If my fiance is more handsome than
yours, then I will be the queen," said Purbararang.
Purbasari was sad. She knew Purbararang's fiance, Indrajaya, was handsome. And
she did not have a fiance yet.
Lutung Kasarung came forward. Purbararang was laughing very hard. "Your fiance
is a monkey, ha ha ha."
Suddenly, Lutung Kasarung changed into a very a handsome man. He was even
more handsome than Indrajaya. Purbararang and Indrajaya very surprised.Purbasari then
became the queen. She forgave Purbararang and her fiance and let them stay in the palace.

Dahulu kala, ada seorang raja bernama Prabu Tapa Agung. Prabu Tapa Agung adalah
raja yang sudah tua. Dia memiliki dua anak perempuan, Purbararang dan Purbasari. Prabu
Tapa Agung berencana untuk pensiun sebagai raja. Dia ingin Purbasari untuk
menggantikannya sebagai pemimpin kerajaan.Mendengar hal ini, Purbararang marah.
"Kau tidak dapat menjadikannya seorang ratu, Ayah. Aku lebih tua dari dia. Ini
seharusnya aku, bukan dia. Ini tidak mungkin, Ayah!" kata Purbararang.
"Tidak, Purbararang, tidak. Itu karena Ayah mencintaimu dan Ayah memilih Purbasari
sebagai ratu karena dia satu-satunya yang layak untuk menjadi seorang ratu. Bagaimanapun,
dia adalah adikmu ",jawab raja.
"Ya Tuhan, apa yang terjadi dengan kulitku, tubuhku, wajahku, dan nafasku!" Kata
Purbasari.
"Hahaha ..... Kau tak secantik diriku. Kau tidak dapat menjadi ratu. Sebaliknya, kau
harus meninggalkan istana ini dan tinggal di hutan," kata Purbararang.
Purbasari sangat sedih. Sekarang dia harus tinggal di hutan. Setiap hari dia
menghabiskan waktunya bermain dengan beberapa binatang di sana. Ada satu monyet yang
selalu berusaha menghiburnya. Itu bukan hanya monyet biasa, ia memiliki kekuatan
magis. Dan ia juga bisa berbicara dengan manusia. Nama monyet tersebut adalah Lutung
Kasarung. Sebenarnya dia adalah dewa. Namanya Sanghyang Gurumina. Lutung Kasarung
berencana untuk membantu Purbasari.Dia membuat sebuah danau kecil dan memintanya
untuk mandi di sana.
"Putri, aku akan membantumu untuk kembali ke istana." Kata Lutung Kasarung.
"Terima kasih, Lutung. Kau sangat baik. Tapi bagaimana aku bisa kembali ke
istana. Sementara tubuhku bau dan menjijikkan. "Jawab Purbasari.
"Jangan pernah berkata tidak pernah, Princess. Anda hanya perlu untuk mandi di
danau kecil yang telah saya buat. "
"Mereka yang memiliki rambut panjang akan menjadi ratu." Kata Purabararang.
Raja kemudian mengukur rambut putrinya. Purbasari memiliki rambut lebih panjang
dari Purbarang. Tapi Purbararang tidak menyerah.
"Seorang ratu harus memiliki suami yang tampan. Jika tunanganku lebih tampan
dari tunanganmu, maka akulah yang akan menjadi ratu," kata Purbararang.
Tiba-tiba, Lutung Kasarung berubah menjadi manusia yang sangat tampan. Dia bahkan lebih
tampan dari Indrajaya. Purbararang dan Indrajaya sangat terkejut.Purbasari kemudian
diangkat menjadi ratu. Dia memaafkan Purbararang dan tunangannya dan membiarkan
mereka tinggal di istana.
