Once upon
a time, there
was a beautiful
Princess "Dewi Galuh
Chandra Kirana" from
the Kingdom of Daha.
When she grew
older she met
Prince "Inu Kertapati" from the Kingdom
of Kahuripan and
they fell in
love. Much to
the happiness of
everyone and with the support
of the Kings
from both Kingdoms,
they became engaged.
The people of
both Kingdoms celebrated
the good news
of the engagement and
everyone was happy,
except one. The
jealous Lady Galuh
Ajeng did not
enjoy the news
as she wanted
to become the
wife of the
Prince. She said
to herself: "I
need to find
a way to
separate the Prince
and the Princess
before they get
married". Desperate as
she was and
willing to do
everything to avoid
a marriage, Lady Galuh
Ajeng went to
an evil Witch
and asked the
Witch to put
a spell on Princess Dewi
Galuh Chandra Kirana. "Your
request, Lady Galuh
Ajeng, will be
fulfiled . I'll
put a spell
on the Princess", said the
bad Witch. "That's
good news. After
the Princess is
cursed, the Prince
will marry me!", exclaimed Lady
Galuh Ajeng with
joy and laughter.
Under Lady Galuh
Ajeng's influence, the
King of Daha
started to despise
the Princess.
"Get out of
this palace, you
are not worth
to be my
daughter anymore. You
will not marry
Prince Inu Kertapati!", screamed
the King in
anger to Princess
Dewi Galuh Chandra
Kirana. So it
was, the King
told his own
daughter to leave
the Kingdom.
Since then on,
the Princess roamed
the country without
direction. She wandered
through forests and
walked through the
fields. Until one
day she found
herself all alone
on a deserted
beach. " Dear
God, what will
happen to me.
What will I
become?", cried the Princess in
tears as she fell on
her knees. It
was at that
moment, that the
spell of the
bad Witch fell
on her and
the Princess turned
into a Golden Snail.
A large wave
came and dragged
the Golden Snail
into the sea.
Finally, after days,
the Golden Snail
washed ashore on
a beach nearby
the village of
Dadapan. There an old
lady from the
village of Dadapan
saw the Golden
Snail on the
white sandy beach.
"What a beautiful snail
you are", said
the old lady.
"Come with me,
I will take
care of you",
and she took the Golden Snail
to her humble
home near the
beach. As soon
as she arrived
home, the old
lady placed the Golden
Snail in a
pot with fresh
clean water. "Stay
here, beautiful snail"
she said with
a large smile on
her old and
wrinkled face, and then as
usual she went
to the beach
to catch fish.
The old lady had
no luck that
day and went
home with empty
hands and a
rumbling stomach. However,
when she came home
she was surprised
to find her
table laid with
delicious and tasty
food.
The following day,
when she came
back from the
beach, she saw
smoke coming out
of her house and wondered
"What is going
on in my
house?". The old
lady took a
peek into the
house and there she
saw a young
lady cooking in
her kitchen. "Who
is she?", asked
the old lady
to herself, and then
rushed in to
ask the young
lady. Princess Dewi
Galuh Chandra Kirana
told her story about the
curse and how she
turned into a
Golden Snail. "Jealousy is
indeed a terrible
thing and can
cause other people
to suffer" said
the old lady,
feeling sad to
hear the Princess'
story. The old lady prayed:
"Dear God, please listen
to my humble
pray, take the
curse off the
Princess".
Meanwhile, the news
of the missing
of Princess Dewi
Galuh Chandra Kirana
came to the
ears of Prince
Inu Kertapati. The
Prince felt unhappy
and immediately went
of to search
his beloved Princess.
Months passed by
and the Prince
roamed the country
and roved the
seas and one
day he came
to the village of
Dadapan, where he
found his Princess.
The Prince and
Princess had finally
found each other again and
from that moment
on the curse
vanished from the
Princess forever. Prince
Inu Kertapati took the
Princess back to his palace,
and they brought
the old lady
from the village
of Dadapan with
them.
At the end,
the Prince and
the Princess got
married, and later
on Prince Inu
Kertapati was crowned
as King Kameswara
I of the
Kindom of Kahuripan
(Kediri).
