Putri Kemuning

Putri Kemuning and her mother lived in a jungle. They were poor. Putri Kemuning helped her mother collect woods in the jungle and sold them to the market.

In the jungle, Putri Kemuning had animal friends. One day, Putri Kemuning’s mother was very ill. Putri Kemuning was very sad because she didn’t have enough money to buy medicine. Then, she collected many woods and planned to sell them. She wanted to spend the money to buy medicine.

When she was collecting the woods, Putri Kemuning met her animal friend, the rabbit. He was worried because Putri Kemuning looked very sad. Putri Kemuning told the problem to the rabbit.

“I can help you. Take this ring and sell it, “ said the rabbit.

“Is this your ring?” asked Putri Kemuning.

“No. This is The King Ngarancang Kencono’s ring. It fell when he was hunting here.”

Putri Kemuning hesitated. She really needed the money but it was not her ring. Finally she said, “No, I have to return this ring to the king.”

Then Putri Kemuning went to see the king at his palace.

“What is your name and what is your purpose here?” asked the king.

“My name is Putri Kemuning. I want to return your ring,” said Putri Kemuning.

“Thank you very much. Now, I want to give you something. What do you want?”.

“I don’t want anything. I just want to go home. My mother is very ill,” replied Putri Kemuning.

“You are a very kind girl. Now, take this gift,” said the king.

Putri Kemuning went home. When she arrived, Putri Kemuning told her mother about the king’s ring. Her mother very proud of her. When they opened the gift, they saw a bag full of gold coins. They were very happy because they can buy medicine.
