4 well safely. Raden Bandung Bondowoso was very angry with her action and he
looked after her but because of her beauty, his anger became calm down. After that, Princess Loro Jonggrang was asking Raden Bandung
Bondowoso to do the second request which was to make 1000 temples in one night. Therefore Raden Bandung Bondowoso commanded genie to make the
temples immediately. However Princess Loro Jonggrang intended to foil his effort to make the temples. She ordered the girls to pound and burn stubbles, so that it
looked like the bright of sunrise which mean the morning had come and the light plus the noise made the cocks crowed loudly. Heard the cock crowd and people
pounded rice and also saw the brightness in the east, therefore the genies were stop
making temples.
The genies reported it to Raden Bandung Bondowoso that they could not continue built the temple because morning had come. Raden Bandung
Bondowoso got the feeling that the morning had not come yet. He asked Princess Loro Jonggrang to count the amount of the temples and she came out that the total
was only 999 temples, there was still 1 temple left. Therefore Princess Loro Jonggrang refused to marry Raden Bandung Bondowoso.
Raden Bandung Bondowoso felt deceived then he became very angry and he cursed her Loro Jonggrang, there is only 1 temple left, let you be the one to
make it complete. It was a miracle, suddenly Princess Loro Jonggrang transformed to a stone statue. Raden Bandung Bondowoso also cursed the girls
who lived around Prambanan that there would be no men want to marry those girls because they helped Princess Loro Jonggrang.

Once upon a time there was a farmer lived in a village in North Sumatera. He still was single. One day, the farmer went to a river to fish. He was so glad when
he found a gold fish; he said ”it will be so delicious.” However, it was so wonderful that it could speak. It said,”please don’t eat me and let me stay here.”
The man left the fish there and went home without the fish. When he arrived home, he was so excited to find a beautiful girl was standing
in front of his house. “Who are you?” the man said. “I am the fish that you leave in the river. I want to thank you because you have let me save and I am ready to
help you so let me be your wife but you have to remember that if someday we have a child you cannot tell himher that I am from fish, if you tell you will lost
me forever.” “I promise I will” not said the man. They lived together and had a child.
One day, his wife asked the child to go to rice field, “go to the rice field and bring your father this food for his lunch.” “I will” but on the way the child eat the
food and just leave a little. When his father saw the food, he said angrily, “why do you spend my lunch? Perhaps, because you are from a fish, the son of a fish.” The
6 child went home sadly and told his mother what had done. His mother was so sad
