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!" said Purbararang.
But the king
still chose Purbasari
to be the
next queen.
Purbararang
then set a
bad plan with
her fiance, Indrajaya.
They went to
a witch together
and asked her to
put a spell
on Purbasari. Later,
Purbasari had a
bad skin. There were black
dots all over
her body.
"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. Amazingly,
her bad skin
was cured. Now she got
her beautiful skin
back.
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."
The king then
measured his daughters'
hair. Purbasari had longer hair.
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.
"Here
is my fiancé,
Indrajaya. Where is
yours?" asked Purbararang.
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. Purbasari then
became the queen. She
forgave Purbararang and
her fiance and
let them stay
in the palace.
