THE LEGEND of MOUNT WAYANG (FROM : INDONESIAN)

     Long, long ago, when the gods and goddesses used to mingle in the affairs of mortals, there was a small kingdom on the slope of Mount Wayang in West Java, Indonesian. The King, named Sang Prabu, was a wise man. He had an only daughter, called Princess Teja Nirmala, eho was famous for her beauty but she was not married. One day Sang Prabu made up his mind to settle the matter by a show of strenght.

     After that, Prince of Blambangan, named Raden Bengawan had won the competition. Unfortunately, the wicked fairy, Princess Segara fell in love with Raden Bengawan and used magic power to reder him unconscious and he forgot his wedding. When Sang Prabu was searching, Raden Bengawan saw him and soon realised that he had been enchanted by the wicked fairy. The fairy could not accept this, so she killed Raden Bengawan. When Princess Teja Nirmala heard this, she was very sad. So a nice fairy took her to the Kayangan.

     The story goes that on certain moonlight nights, one can hear the sound of music in the air above from the top of the mountain. It indicates that Sang Prabu and his daughter heve not met each other till dawn when it is time for them to part and to meet again on another moonlight night.
