Amazingly, Landorunduns hair was glowing in thesunlight. Coincidentally, an adventurer, Bendurana saw it from

his ship. Later, he ordered his companions to take that hair,but all of them came back wounded.

Guess what! Bendurana then walked on water and tookthe hair himself. He rolled the hair over his arm, and surpris-ingly the hair turned to be very long. When he wondered theorigin of the hair, a bird said to him where it came from. Afterhearing the birds explanation, he decided to follow the flock ofbirds to meet the owner of the hair. Finally, the ship droppedthe anchor to a stone. You know, the stone nowadays is calledBatu Sangkinan Lembang.

Then, Bendurana planted a mango tree which instantlygrew and had fruits. After that, he walked around the placeand found Landorundun. He asked Landorundun to marry him,but she refused. She said that her father Solokang and hermother Lambe Susu werent ready to be separated from her.

Then, Bendurana walked away, but he kept stalkingLandorundun.

The following day, when Landorundun took a bath in theriver, she saw the mango tree that Bendurana had planted andpicked the fruit. After she ate it, Bendurana asked her who atehis mango. Landorundun said the shepherd boys did it, but theboys said Landorundun did. Finally, Landorundun surrenderedand agreed to marry Bendurana.

However, Bendurana had another problem. He had to finda way to take Landorundun with him, apart from her parents.Yeah, he got one. To trick her mother Lambe Susu, Benduranagave her a bottle with a large hole on its bottom, and orderedLambe Susu to fill it with water. When Lambe Susu realized thatshe had been tricked, she just saw her daughter sailed away.

But, the happy moment didnt last long. One day, Pervitasparents heard bad news about Radityas father. Somebody hadtold them that Radityas father was a criminal.

Contoh jawaban:The inhabitants in the village of Mimika were busy that day.

They prepared 12 boats and set off to the upper course of theriver, to find sago, the main food for people, there like rice in mostof Asian nations or wheat in the Western.

After three days, their boats were filled with sagos, and theyheaded home. But in the area of Tamanipia, they were raided bya dragon, and their boats were struck by great waves, caused by theswings of the dragons tail. Most of them were drown, but a womanmanaged to save herself, jumped to the ground and hid on a tree.

She was the only one who survived and she was pregnant.

She managed to survive in the strange tree, eating its fruits androots. She was still cautious about the dragon, and listened toevery noise that she heard until she gave a birth to his son.

She named her son Biwar. She raised Biwar and gave himsome skills, like how to make various weapons, setting traps tocatch animals, creating fire, and singing well, playing tifa,a traditional music instrument like African drums.

Biwar became a handsome, strong and healthy man. Hes sogood in aiming arrows and hunting, and he always brought homea lot of fish and deer for food.

When his mother saw him bringing fish, she asked whereBiwar got them. He said it was from the upper course of the river.Then, she forbade him to go there and told him about his fatherand friends that were killed by the dragon.

Biwar decided to kill the dragon and set traps in the mouth of

a cave. Then, he played his tifa and sang near it. It attracted thedragon and it moved toward the caves mouth.

The Angel of Desire

Once upon a time, in a happy kingdom was born the mostbeautiful princess in the world. When she grew up, she fell in lovewith a handsome young man and they promised to marry eachother. This couple was so dear to God that an angel was sent tohonor their wedding.

The princess was so beautiful that the angel too fell in lovewith her. That made God sad and instantly the angel was turnedinto a beautiful bird which sang beautifully but everyone avoidedthe poor thing.

The angel couldnt understand the reason for that suffering.One day as the angel-bird perched on a big tree standing on a hillin the middle of a field and lamented its fate, four criminals cameunder the tree to divide their loot. Then, they decided to send twoof them to buy some food and drink to have a feast. As they werecoming back from the city, the two criminals decided to put poison

in the food so they can divide the loot of the other two criminalsbetween themselves.

Coincidentally, the other two criminals decided to kill the foodbearing crooks and grab their loot too. So they shot them. Afterthat, they ate the food and drank the wine and died in pain soonafter that.

Thats when the angel understood the consequences ofimproper, illegal desires. They brought suffering, sorrow anddeath. God sent us to this Earth to live by the law of this freedom.
