The Story of Prambanan
Long time ago, there was a kingdom named prambanan. All the people of prambanan lived peacefully. But, the prambanan kingdom was attacked and occupied by the Pengging kingdom. Then, Prambanan was ruled by Bandung Bondowoso of pengging kingdom. He was a king. He also had great supernatural power. His soldiers were not only human, but also genies.
The king prambanan had a beautiful daughter named Roro Jonggrang. Bandung Bondowoso fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. Roro Jongrang didn't like Bandung Bondowoso because he was a cruel person. She wanted to refuse, but she afraid that Bandung Bondowoso would be angry and endangered the people of prambanan.
Then, she came up with a plan. "If yo want to marry me, you have to build a thousand temples for me just one night", said Roro Jonggrang. And Bandung Bondowoso was agreed to build a thousand temples for her just one night. So, Bandung Bondowoso summoned his entire genies soldier and commanded them to help him built a thousand temples. The genies worked unbelievable speed.
Meanwhile, Roro Jonggrang heard from her servant that the building of a thousand temples was almost finished. She was so worried. But again, she came up with a great idea. She asked all of her servant to help her. She said to prepare a lot of straw and mortar. And she told them to burn the straw and make some noise pounding the mortar quickly. All those servants did what Roro Jonggrang ordered them, burning straw and pounding the mortar, making the genies think that the sun is going to rise.
"It's already dawn. We have to go", said the leader of the genies to Bandung Bondowoso. All the genies immediately stopped their work and ran for cover from the sun, which they afraid of. They didn't know that the light was from the fire that burning the straw, not from the sun. Bandung Bondowoso can't stop the genies from leaving. He was angry. He knew Roro Jonggrang had just tricked him.
" You cannot fool me, Roro Jonggrang. I already have 999 temples. I just need one more temple. Now, I will make you the one thousand temple." said Bandung Bondowoso.
He pointed his finger to Roro Jonggrang and said some mantras. Magically, Roro Jonggrang's body turned into stone.
Until now, the temple is still standing in prambanan area, Yogyakarta. And the temple is called Roro Jonggrang temple. Roro Jonggrang condemned as a statue, because she cheated and broken promises. So, we should not break the rules or appointments.
