‘’The legend
of telaga pasir’’
Once upon a time, there lived a couple called
Kyai Pasir and his wife Nyai Pasir in the jungle of Lawu Mountain, East Java.
Kyai Pasir was a farmer. He worked
in a field. Nyai Pasir just stayed
at home. Every day she cleaned
up the house and cooked for
them.
It was a beautiful morning when Kyai
Pasir left the house and went to his field. While he was walking, he stumbled upon something. He looked at it and was curious
what it was. It looked like
an egg, but it was very big. He put the egg back to ground.
When he was at home, Kyai Pasir told his wife about the egg. Nyai Pasir asked him to bring the egg home
so that they would eat it.
On the following day, when Kyai Pasir went to
the field, he looked for the
egg and found it. He then brought it home. Nyai Pasir also wondered that the egg was very big. Then, she boiled it and they both ate the
egg.
The both felt very fully, and it made them very sleepy. Not long after
that they fell asleep. In the morning Kyai and Nyai Pasir woke up as usual.
Kyai Pasir took a bath, then he went
to the field.
On the way to the field, he felt
his body so uncomfortable. He felt itchy. He stretched his body. Suddenly, he felt his throat so hot and
very thirsty. He was so shocked!
He saw his skin changing into scales. A horn was growing on his head, and he
also had a tail. He had changed into
a dragon!
Meanwhile, at home Nyai Pasir also
felt the same. She panicked
and ran to the field to look for her husband. When she arrived at the field, she saw a dragon moving his body on
the ground.
Slowly Nyai Pasir also changed into a dragon. The two
dragons were trying to walk, but they were too weak to do that. They just could
moved their bodies on the
ground. They moved their bodies so heavily that it made a very big hole. The
hole was getting deeper and deeper. Soon water came out of the hole. The water
came out very much, and it changed
into a lake. Since then, people named
the lake Telaga Pasir.
