In
the ancient time, lived a young man named Galoran. He was respected
because of his wealth and honor. His parents were nobleman so he
could live with luxury. However, he was very wasteful and every day
just squandered the wealth of his parents.
One
day, his parents died, but he did not care and continued to spend
money as well as before. Because his life was so extravagant, all the
treasure that he had was running out and he became an unemployed
person. Many people sympathized with him and offered a job. But every
time he got the job, he just dallied and it made him always be fired.
Several months later, there was a wealthy widow who interested him.
He married the widow and of course, he was very happy to be living in
luxury again.
The
widow had a daughter who was very diligent and clever to weave. Her
name is Jambean, a beautiful girl and had been famous because of her
weaving. However, Galoran did not like the girl, because the girl
often scolded him because of his laziness. Finally, he threatened to
torture and kill Jambean. He revealed the plan to his wife and the
wife was very sad to hear of the threat.
Hearing
the news, Jambean was very sad but she volunteered herself to be
killed by her father. She told that she wanted to be dumped into a
dam and did not burry under the ground after the death. The mother
agreed and did all of her wants. In the dam, her body and head
suddenly turned into the golden slugs.
Several
years later, there are two widows who were looking for firewood. They
were kindred, the first widow named Mbok Sambega Rondo and the second
called Mbok Rondo Sembagil. When looking for the firewood in the
jungle, they were very surprised because of finding the beautiful
golden slugs. They brought it and maintained at home.
Once
they brought the snails, there was always a miracle every day. Their
kitchen was always filled with the delicious food when they came home
from work. They were very surprised, and wanted to know the person
who made those foods. They pretended to go to work and hid in the
back of the house. A few moments later, there was a beautiful girl
came from the inside of the conch and she began to cook the delicious
meals.
Both
widows then secretly held and did not let the girl to get into the
snail anymore. The girl apparently was Jambean who had been killed by
her father. Both widows then allowed her to stay with them. Because
of their versatility in weaving, she got her famous back and made a
handsome prince attracted. In the end, she married the prince and
lived happily.
