The Legend of Rawa Pening
Once
upon a time, there was a little poor boy came into a little village.
He was very hungry and weak. He knocked at every door and asked for
some food, but nobody cared about him. Nobody wanted to help the little
boy.
Finally,
a generous woman helped him. She gave him shelter and a meal. When the
boy wanted to leave, this old woman gave him a “lesung”, a big wooden
mortar for pounding rice. She reminded him, “please remember, if there
is a flood you must save yourself. Use this “lesung” as a boat”. The
“lesung” was happy and thanked the old woman.The little boy continued
his journey. While he was passing through the village, he saw many
people gathering on the field. The boy came closer and saw a stick
stuck in the ground. People challenged each other to pull out that
stick. Everybody tried, but nobody succeeded. “Can I try?” asked the
little boy. The crowd laughed mockingly. The boy wanted to try his luck
so he stepped forward and pulled out the stick. He could do it very
easily. Everybody was dumbfounded.
Suddenly,
from the hole left by stick, water spouted out. It did not stop until
it flooded the village. And no one was saved from the water except the
little boy and the generous old woman who gave him shelter and meal. As
she told him, he used the “lesung” as a boat and picked up the old
woman. The whole village became a huge lake. It is now known as Rawa
Pening Lake in Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia.
