    RORO JONGGRANG

    Long time ago, there was a kingdom named Prambanan. All the people of

    Prambanan lived peacefully. But then, Prambanan kingdom was attacked and

    occupied by the Pengging kingdom. Prambanan then was ruled by Bandung

    Bondowoso of Pengging kingdom. He was a mean king. He also had great

    supernatural power. His soldiers were not only humans, but also genies.

    The king of Prambanan had a beautiful daughter named Loro Jonggrang.

    Bandung Bondowoso fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. “You’re very

    beautiful. Would you be my queen?” asked Bandung Bondowoso. Loro Jonggrang

    was shocked. She didn’t like Bandung Bondowoso because he was a mean person.

    She wanted to refuse, but she afraid that Bandung Bondowoso would be angry

    and endangered the people of Prambanan. Then, she came up with a plan. “If you

    want to marry me, you have to build a thousand temples for me in just one

    night,” said Loro Jonggrang. “What? That’s impossible!” said Bandung Bondowoso.

    But he did not give up. He consulted with his advisor. “Your Majesty can asked

    the genies to help built the temples,” said the advisor.


    So, Bandung Bondowoso summoned his entire genies soldier and commanded

    them to help him built a thousand temples. The genies worked in unbelievable

    speed. Meanwhile, Loro Jonggrang heard from her servant that the building of a

    thousand temples was almost finished. She was so worried. But again, she came

    up with a great idea. She asked all of her servants to help her. “Please prepare a

    lot of straw and mortar. Please hurry up!” said Loro Jonggrang. “Burn the straw

    and make some noise pounding the mortar, quickly.” All those servants did what

    Loro Jonggrang ordered them; burning straw and pounding the mortar, making

    the genies think that the sun is going to rise.

    “It’s already dawn. We have to go,” said the leader of the genies to Bandung

    Bondowoso. All the genies immediately stopped their work and ran for cover

    from the sun, which they afraid of. They didn’t know that the light was from

    the fire that burning the straw, not from the sun.

    Bandung Bondowoso can’t stop the genies from leaving. He was angry. He

    knew Loro Jonggrang had just tricked him. “You cannot fool me, Loro Jonggrang.

    I already have 999 temples. I just need one more temple. Now, I will make you

    the one-thousandth temple.” He pointed his finger to Loro Jonggrang and said

    some mantras. Magically, Loro Jonggrang’s body turned into stone. Until now,

    the temple is still standing in Prambanan area, Central Java. And the temple is

    called Loro Jonggrang temple.
