Why do folklore characters never make good secret agents?


Because their tales always get leaked!

Good Morning honorable judges, communities and all audiences.


I'm Rara Putri Aristya, thrilled to be part of this wonderful gathering. With a passion for
literature and folklore, I'm excited to explore the enchanting world of Roro Jonggrang with all
of you. Let's dive into the magic of storytelling.
Long time ago, there was a kingdom named Prambanan. All the people of Prambanan
lived peacefully. But then, Prambanan kingdom was attacked by the Pengging kingdom.
Prambanan, at that time, fell under the rule of Bandung Bondowoso from the Pengging kingdom.
He was a ruthless king with great supernatural abilities. His army consisted not only of humans
but also genies.
The king of Prambanan had a beautiful daughter named Roro 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.
Roro 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
Roro Jonggrang while thinking
“What? That’s impossible!” said Bandung Bondowoso. But he did not give up. He consulted
with his consultant.
“Do you think that i can build a thousand temples in one night?” asked bandung bondowoso to
his consultant
“Maybe, Your Majesty can asked the genies to build the thousand temples,” said the consultant.
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, Roro
Jonggrang heard from her servant that the building of a thousand temples was almost finished.
She was so worried.
“What can i do ?.....” Roro Jonggrang was very confused. 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 Roro Jonggrang.
“Burn the straw and make some noise pounding the mortar, quickly.” All those servants did what
Roro Jonggrang said ; burning the 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 Roro
Jonggrang had just tricked him.

*Ekhem
“You cannot fool me, Roro Jonggrang. I already have 999 temples. I just need one more temple.
And , you will be the last temple.” He pointed his finger to Roro Jonggrang and said some
mantras.
“Sampeyan Roro Jonggrang,amung perbuatanira ingkang sampun kandha-kandhani marangira
kulo. Sadaya rasa krama saka perbuatanmu”
Magically, Roro Jonggrang’s body turned into stone. Until now, the temple is still standing in
Prambanan area, Central Java. And the temple is called Roro Jonggrang temple.
