Situation  :  Putri was looking for an idea to make a summary of a folk tale.

                           She  met Pingkan in the library.

       

        Pingkan   :  Hey, What’s up ? Why are you looking so sad ?

                           Tell me your problem.

        Putri        :  Well, my teacher gave me an assignment to make a summary of a folk

                           tale. But I didn’t get any idea at all. I’m confused.

        Pingkan   :  Hey, cheer up !  I read a folk tale last week. It’s a legend from Java.

        Putri        :  Oh, did you ? What’s the title ?

        Pingkan   :  Uhm….. let me remember it for a moment.. Uhm … yeah, I remember it

                           now. It’s  “Keong Mas”.

        Putri        :  Is it ? Tell me the story, then.

        Pingkan   :  Okey, the story is about Princess Galuh Candra Kirana of Daha

                           Kingdom who was engaged to Raden Inu Kertapati, the crown prince of

                           Kahuripan Kingdom. Their wedding almost failed because of Galuh

                           Ajeng’s jealousy. Galuh Ajeng was Galuh Candra Kirana’s sister.

        Putri        :  I guess I know why she was jealous. She loved the prince and wanted to

                           marry him. Am I right ?

        Pingkan   :   A hundred percent correct. You know what ? She, then planned to

                           jeopardize the wedding.

        Putri        : How did she do it ?

        Pingkan   : Well, she went to an evil witch. She ordered her to harm Galuh Candra

                           Kirana with her evil withcraft spells.

        Putri        :  Did it work ?

        Pingkan   :  Yes, it did. Galuh Candra Kirana suddenly fell ill and all her body

                           suffered from boils. She smelled very bad. Her father was very ashamed

                           of her and got rid of her from the palace.

        Putri        :  How poor she was!

        Pingkan   :  She was. So, she went into the forest and the spell worked out. She

                           suddenly changed into a golden snail (Keong Mas) and it stranded to

                           Dadapan forest.

                           There she met an old poor woman. The woman kept the snail in her big

                           earthen jar.

        Putri        :  How lucky the snail was. Well, go on.

        Pingkan   :  The next day, something happened. The woman found nothing in forest

                           for her dinner. So she went home sadly.You know what, to her surprise,

                           there were delicious meals on her dinning table. This  happened for

                           several days.

        Putri        :  She must have wondered where the food came from.

        Pingkan   : You bet ! So to cut a long story, the woman pretended to go into the

                           forest but on the way she returned home. And she found Princess Galuh

                           Candra Kirana preparing meals for her.  She felt sorry for her and prayed

                           to God to help Galuh Candra Kirana.

        Putri        :  Didn’t Raden Kerta Ibnu do something ?

        Pingkan   : Of course, he did. At the end of the story, he met again Galuh Candra

                          Kirana and they married and lived in Kahuripan Kingdom.

         Putri       : Well, at least the story has a happy ending. But thanks anyway. It

                           inspired me much.

         Pingkan  : That’s what friends are for.
