The Lake of Color

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom. The kingdom had a kind and wise king named Prabu. He and all his people lived in happiness. There was only one thing that made Prabu and his people sad. Prabu did not have any children. There was no prince or princess in the kingdom.

One day, Prabu went to the jungle to pray to God. Everyday he begged for a child. And after several time, the dream came true. The Queen got pregnant. All people in the kingdom felt happy so did Prabu and the Queen. Many of them sent presents to the palace.

The Queen gave birth of a beautiful princess and Prabu and all his people got happier. Many of the people sent presents to the palace. Everyone in the kingdom loved her, so did the King and the Queen. Everything she wanted must be realized. She became a spoiled girl.

Her 17th birthday was coming and Prabu prepared a beautiful necklace as her birthday present. The party was so crowded and all people in the kingdom came and attended the party.

And then, Prabu presented the necklace to his beloved daughter and said that the beautiful necklace was presented by all people in the kingdom. Suddenly, the Princess threw the necklace and said that she did not like the necklace. She said that she did not want to accept that necklace.

All people, including Prabu and Queen, were sad and began to cry. Then, there was a miracle. Suddenly, the Earth was crying. It made a pool of water. The palace was getting full. Soon the place became a big lake. The lake sank the entire kingdom and became Telaga Warna (Lake of Color).

The Ant and the Dove

One hot day, an ant was drinking on pool. While drinking, she slipped and fell into the water. She shouted for help. A dove flying nearby saw that an ant was drowning. The dove quickly plucked a leaf from the nearest tree and dropped it near the ant. The ant climbed on the leaf and the dove carried the leaf and the ant safely to the ground. Behind a big tree, a hunter aimed his gun to the dove. The ant shouted just in time for the dove to fly away. From above the sky, the dove said thank you and the ant answered thank to her too.
