Sea snail was challenged to compete in the run up to the headland to the eleven. The stakes are the coast of the sea slug residence.

In the heart of the deer that was certain to defeat the Kulomang. Not only the way very slowly, the Kulomang also shouldered shells. Shells are usually bigger than his body. Such a size that is caused by the shell that is the home of sea snails. The house was useless to resist so as not to float at high tide. And it is useful to protect the marine snails from the blazing sun.

On the appointed day the deer had invited his friends to watch the game. While the Kulomang have prepared ten friends. Each tail of his friend placed starting from the promontory to promontory into two to eleven. He himself will be in place beginning of the match. Ordered for her friends to answer every question the Deer.

Once the game started, the deer ran as quickly as possible ahead of the Kulomang. A few hours is already reached the second headland. His breath was panting. In my heart he was convinced that the Kulomang may only reach a distance of several meters. With pride he shouted, "Kulomang, now where are you?" Friend of the Kulomang replied, "I'm right behind you." Great astonishment of the deer, he did not break but ran helter-skelter.

The same thing happens repeatedly until the headland to ten. Entering the headland to the eleven, the deer was running out of breath. He fell down and died. Thus the Kulomang can not only defeat but also trick the deer that was arrogant.

Lutung Kasarung

Agustus 22, 2008 pada 8:05 am (Cerita Rakyat)



Pada jaman dahulu kala di tatar pasundan ada sebuah kerajaan yang pimpin oleh seorang raja yang bijaksana, beliau dikenal sebagai Prabu Tapak Agung.

Prabu Tapa Agung mempunyai dua orang putri cantik yaitu Purbararang dan adiknya Purbasari.

Pada saat mendekati akhir hayatnya Prabu Tapak Agung menunjuk Purbasari, putri bungsunya sebagai pengganti. “Aku sudah terlalu tua, saatnya aku turun tahta,” kata Prabu Tapa.

Purbasari memiliki kakak yang bernama Purbararang. Ia tidak setuju adiknya diangkat menggantikan Ayah mereka. “Aku putri Sulung, seharusnya ayahanda memilih aku sebagai penggantinya,” gerutu Purbararang pada tunangannya yang bernama Indrajaya. Kegeramannya yang sudah memuncak membuatnya mempunyai niat mencelakakan adiknya. Ia menemui seorang nenek sihir untuk memanterai Purbasari. Nenek sihir itu memanterai Purbasari sehingga saat itu juga tiba-tiba kulit Purbasari menjadi bertotol-totol hitam. Purbararang jadi punya alasan untuk mengusir adiknya tersebut. “Orang yang dikutuk seperti dia tidak pantas menjadi seorang Ratu !” ujar Purbararang.

Kemudian ia menyuruh seorang Patih untuk mengasingkan Purbasari ke hutan. Sesampai di hutan patih tersebut masih berbaik hati dengan membuatkan sebuah pondok untuk Purbasari. Ia pun menasehati Purbasari, “Tabahlah Tuan Putri. Cobaan ini pasti akan berakhir, Yang Maha Kuasa pasti akan selalu bersama Putri”. “Terima kasih paman”, ujar Purbasari.

Selama di hutan ia mempunyai banyak teman yaitu hewan-hewan yang selalu baik kepadanya. Diantara hewan tersebut ada seekor kera berbulu hitam yang misterius. Tetapi kera tersebut yang paling perhatian kepada Purbasari. Lutung kasarung selalu menggembirakan Purbasari dengan mengambilkan bunga –bunga yang indah serta buah-buahan bersama teman-temannya.

Pada saat malam bulan purnama, Lutung Kasarung bersikap aneh. Ia berjalan ke tempat yang sepi lalu bersemedi. Ia sedang memohon sesuatu kepada Dewata. Ini membuktikan bahwa Lutung Kasarung bukan makhluk biasa. Tidak lama kemudian, tanah di dekat Lutung merekah dan terciptalah sebuah telaga kecil, airnya jernih sekali. Airnya mengandung obat yang sangat harum.

Keesokan harinya Lutung Kasarung menemui Purbasari dan memintanya untuk mandi di telaga tersebut. “Apa manfaatnya bagiku ?”, pikir Purbasari. Tapi ia mau menurutinya. Tak lama setelah ia menceburkan dirinya. Sesuatu terjadi pada kulitnya. Kulitnya menjadi bersih seperti semula dan ia menjadi cantik kembali. Purbasari sangat terkejut dan gembira ketika ia bercermin ditelaga tersebut.

Di istana, Purbararang memutuskan untuk melihat adiknya di hutan. Ia pergi bersama tunangannya dan para pengawal. Ketika sampai di hutan, ia akhirnya bertemu dengan adiknya dan saling berpandangan. Purbararang tak percaya melihat adiknya kembali seperti semula. Purbararang tidak mau kehilangan muka, ia mengajak Purbasari adu panjang rambut. “Siapa yang paling panjang rambutnya dialah yang menang !”, kata Purbararang. Awalnya Purbasari tidak mau, tetapi karena terus didesak ia meladeni kakaknya. Ternyata rambut Purbasari lebih panjang.

“Baiklah aku kalah, tapi sekarang ayo kita adu tampan tunangan kita, Ini tunanganku”, kata Purbararang sambil mendekat kepada Indrajaya. Purbasari mulai gelisah dan kebingungan. Akhirnya ia melirik serta menarik tangan Lutung Kasarung. Lutung Kasarung melonjak-lonjak seakan-akan menenangkan Purbasari. Purbararang tertawa terbahak-bahak, “Jadi monyet itu tunanganmu ?”.

Pada saat itu juga Lutung Kasarung segera bersemedi. Tiba-tiba terjadi suatu keajaiban. Lutung Kasarung berubah menjadi seorang Pemuda gagah berwajah sangat tampan, lebih dari Indrajaya. Semua terkejut melihat kejadian itu seraya bersorak gembira. Purbararang akhirnya mengakui kekalahannya dan kesalahannya selama ini. Ia memohon maaf kepada adiknya dan memohon untuk tidak dihukum. Purbasari yang baik hati memaafkan mereka. Setelah kejadian itu akhirnya mereka semua kembali ke Istana.

Purbasari menjadi seorang ratu, didampingi oleh seorang pemuda idamannya. Pemuda yang ternyata selama ini selalu mendampinginya dihutan dalam wujud seekor lutung.

experience
two weeks ago my family and I went to Ancol. in Ancol me and my family to see the beach. Ancol beach situation is now very concerned. a lot of visible litter around the shoreline, beach water conditions that change color becomes turbid due to the waste disposal plant of less healthy.

after my family and I saw - see the beach, we then went to gelanggang samudera. me and my family there to watch the pirates show. many spectators who saw the performance was wet. the performance was very exciting because I feel like seeing the real pirate action. after I saw the pirate show and then me and my family watching 4D. there I had to queue to get in and watch 4D. I can very back seat with my family

4D shows that I watch tells two cartoon characters who want to steal in a museum. I feel also had a role in the story. all that I see it as real. after my family and I watch 4D. My family and I immediately headed to the dolphins show

in the performance was, not only dolphins but there's also just a white whale that its action is no less exciting with the dolphins performances are shown. There are also sea horse that can count. they all made me feel amazed by his intelligence

finished look shows dolphins are cute and fun, me and my family I then saw the action of the other animals. My family and I went to the show. there may be less attractive because animals not so skilled, so a little boring..
but I could enjoy the show because of the coach who makes the audience becomes not so bored anymore.

there I saw a dove who delivered a letter from one box to other boxes. then squirrel who can dance and clap, bear the smart play bike
, a funny duck population, and hippopotamuses that job just eat only

finished seeing the show. me and my family and then to the mosque for prayers and then we ate at Ancol beach. because me and my family do not bring food from home, eventually my family and I buy food near the beach Ancol. after eating me and my family back to home.

My experience today is very exciting because I could gather with my family and could see the funny and interesting things
