THE FOLKLORE OF TELAGA BIDADARI
Once upon a time, there was a handsome and dashing young man. His name is Awang Sukma. Awang Sukma wanders to the middle of the wilderness. He was stunned to see the various kinds of life in the forest. He built a tree house on a very large tree branch.
Life in the forest is harmonious and peaceful. After a long stay in the forest, Awang Sukma was appointed the ruler of the area and held the title Datu. Once a month, Awang Sukma traveled around his territory and arrived at a clear and clear lake. The lake is located under a shady tree with many fruits. Different types of birds and insects live with their excitement. "Hmm, how beautiful is this lake. It turns out that this forest holds incredible beauty," muttered Datu Awang Sukma.
The next day, when Datu Awang Sukma was blowing his flute, he heard a low boisterous sound in the lake. On the sidelines of the pile of rocks that split, Datu Awang Sukma peered towards the lake. How surprised Awang Sukma when he saw there were 7 beautiful girls playing water.
"Could they be angels?" awang Sukma. The seven beauties were unaware that they were being watched and ignored their shawls used to fly, scattered around the well. One of the shawls is located near Awang Sukma.
"Well, this is a good opportunity to get a shawl on that tree" muttered Datu Awang Sukma.
Hearing the sound of leaves, the princesses were startled and immediately took each other's shawls. When the seven princesses wanted to fly, it turned out that there was one princess who did not find her clothes. She was abandoned by her six brothers. At that time, Datu Awang Sukma immediately came out of hiding.
"Don't be afraid of the princess, I will help as long as the princess stays with me" said Datu Awang Sukma. Putri Bungsu still hesitates to accept Datu Awang Sukma's hand. But because there is no one else then there is no other way for Putri Bungsu except to receive the help of Awang Sukma.
However, one day a black chicken climbed up the barn and scavenged the rice on the surface of the barn. Putri Bungsu tried to drive away the chicken. Suddenly his eyes were fixed on a bamboo roof lying on a chicken kaisan. "What's it about?" thought Princess Bungsu. When the roof was opened, Putri Bungsu was surprised and shouted happily. "This is my saddle!, exclaimed Princess Bungsu. The scarf was held tightly. A feeling of annoyance and annoyance fell on her husband. She also loved her husband very much.
Finally Putri Bungsu resolved to return to kahyangan. "It's time for me to go back!" he said inwardly. Putri Bungsu immediately put on his shawl while carrying his baby.
Datu Awang Sukma was stunned to see the incident. He immediately approached and apologized for the actions that are not commendable is to hide the scarf of Putri Bungsu. Datu Awang Sukma realized that separation is inevitable. "Kanda, please look after Kumalasari well," Putri Bungsu told Datu Awang Sukma." The view of Datu Awang Sukma glared blankly into space. "If your child misses dinda, take seven candlenut seeds, and put them in a basket that is shaken and accompany it with a flute. Surely dinda will come to see him soon," said Putri Bungsu.
Putri Bungsu immediately put on his shawl and immediately flew to kahyangan. Datu Awang Sukma stared dejectedly and vowed to forbid his offspring from raising black chickens that he considered to be disastrous.
