Introduction to Sleep
Princess and Rat
Once upon a time there lived a king with his daughter named Safia. The king and queen loved Safia very much. One day a sorcerer came to the palace and asked for protection. He said that he was a scientist who was being chased by the enemy for writing a very important book and did not know who else to ask for help.
“Good scientist” said the king, “You will get a place as you wish, besides you can finish your work” said the king later.
Then the witch went happily to her room. He pretended to do some kind of experiment. Each jum’at which is a day of rest for the workers, the witch pays respect to the work, but she has a hidden intention to seize the royal throne.
One day she turns herself into an old woman and takes a walk in the park, then she meets Safia.
“Lord daughter”, said the witch, “Let me be your maid, I am the best linen and silk washer in the world, and I will do all the work if I can serve the princess.
“Good woman,” Says Princess Safia, “I feel that you poor and suffering woman, let's go to my private place and I'll give you some linen to wash” continued Princess Safia
Then the wicked Witch followed the princess to the palace, and before the princess knew what was really going on, she ambushed the princess and put her in a laundry bag, then the witch ran with all her might to bring the princess into her room. Next he uttered magic matras, and the witch made the princess as small as a doll, and placed the princess in one of her closet drawers.
On the next Jum’at, the witch went to the palace hall as usual, and she found everyone confused looking for Safia's daughter. “Princess Safia has disappeared, the King is almost out of his mind, and all the palace witches are trying to find her, but none of them have succeeded ” said the Prime Minister.
The cunning witch only smiled, she knew that her spell was so powerful that no one would be able to defeat the matra until she died.
The next day, the queen was kidnapped by the witch who pretended to be a washerman, she stuffed the queen in a laundry bag, and bewitched her into a doll. “hahhahhaa, she was a launderer, I will soon be king and rule the work of”, said the witch
The next day, He awaited the opportunity to kidnap the king, waiting for him to fall asleep because of the tiredness of thinking about the queen who suddenly disappeared, He turned like a washerman and bewitched the king into a puppet.
Now that the royal family had disappeared all, all the royal retainers were panicked and confused, they came to the witch's room and asked the witch for advice.
“You are a smart person” said the prime minister, “you certainly have high intelligence, give us a hint what we should do???” continued prime minister.
“We wait until the king and queen return, meanwhile let me rule” replied the witch, all the retainers agreed.
The wicked witch ruled in a very cruel manner, everyone was ordered to gather all his wealth and collect all the gold that was in all the land.
And pretended to seek out kings and queens by sending search armies across the land. But of course the search did not produce results.
One day a mouse found his way into the closet where Safia's daughter was hidden, and Safia's daughter who could speak, despite having been a doll said “Tikus, which is not the case, rat pierce this cupboard so I can escape from the evil witch who has bewitched me or I will die”
“Who are you ??” ask the mouse
“My father is king, he will give you a gift, you will get a lot of cheese and will not run out for life, replied Princess Safia
“Allah is Oft-forgiving, the king has been lost as well as the queen and the witch have occupied the throne now” replied the mouse
“Oh no” shouted the princess “What happened to them?? were my father and mother also bewitched??”
“Please wait here, and I will see another part of this closet.I may be able to find the king and queen” continued the rat. The mice looked to other parts of the wardrobe and he found the king and queen to be dolls, but they were in very strong boxes and they were bewitched into wooden dolls, she said, because the witch used a different spell back then.
Then the rat returned to the princess' place and told her the sad news. “Alas, alas” cries the princess, “What should I do now, though I can escape?”
“Daughter, I'll help you, I'll go to the wise woman who lives in the tree cavity, you know, and tonight I will come back and tell you what he said” said the rat while calming the princess.
Then the princess hid back in the closet and the mouse left. In the great tree that has lived for centuries there lived the wise old woman, and the mouse asked her for advice,
“Mother, tell me what I should do to help the princess who has been turned into a doll by a witch. He hoped to escape from the hole I was going to make, but at that moment I found the king and queen who were bewitched as puppets as well.
“Tell the princess that she should be here when the moon is full and I will help her” replied the wise woman.
The mouse returned when night fell and hollowed out the cupboard so Safia could get out. Because Safia was so small it could easily pass through the guards. When the moon is full. Princess Safia went to the tree designated by the rat.
“Come in, putri” says Wise woman, “I'll find your way out of trouble in magik” book. Meanwhile, the mouse was standing guard outside the tree
While waiting for the wise woman looking for answers in the magic book. Safia looked around the hollows of the tree.
“Where will I get the magic grass??” ask the princess “I'll give you” replied the wise woman while picking up the magic grass in the drawer.
“Daughter, remember you have to whisper to that orange horse these words ” Horse take me to where the pear tree grows, then take me to the highest branch to pick up the pear” fruit message the wise woman while putting the magic book on the shelf back.
“And then will I return to my original size??” ask the princess.
“Before the witch dies, you will not be able to return to your original size” replied the wise woman
“You must ride the orange horse again and go to the well in which lives the green giant. When you get there drop the pear to the bottom of the well. The evil witch's soul was stored in the pear. When the pear falls into the well, the green giant will eat it and the witch will die” the wise woman commands to the princess.
“After that what will happen?” ask the princess again
“After that. all the creation of the witch will return to its original form”.answer the wise woman while handing the magic grass to the princess.
Then the princess thanked the wise woman, and parted with the mouse while running towards the crossroads as the wise woman commanded.
The princess saw the orange horse as the wise woman said, the horse had a very beautiful tail in gold, standing on the estate ready to be hiked.
“Orange horse!! orange horse!!” call Safia in a quiet voice. “This is magic grass, and take me to pear” tree
Then the orange horse bowed its head to Safia and she ate the magic grass, then she lowered her head again so that Safia could climb her neck and could sit on the horse's back. After the safia reached the horse's back, the orange horse neighed twice and ran as fast as the wind.
Long story short, Sampai Safia in a beautiful garden where cherry trees grow, plum, mulberry but there is only one pear tree.
“This is the tree” muttered Safia while standing on the back of a horse while trying to reach the nearest twig. Finally Safia managed to pluck the pear from the highest branch and store it carefully in her pocket.
“Bring me to the giant well of green” whispered Safia to the ears of an orange horse. The orange horse neighed then ran like the wind, so fast that it ran like it never touched the ground.
Finally among the three palm trees is where the well where the green giant lives. In the moonlight Safia looked down into the well. Safia saw a giant head as big as a pumpkin with big green eyes and a huge mouth.
As soon as the pear is thrown into the well, the giant chews it to ***** and suddenly Safia realized that she was growing little by little and she returned to her original form and the vile witch died.
The orange horse brought Safia back to the crossroads. And before Safia thanked him suddenly a ray of lightning struck and the horse disappeared from sight.
Safia quickly returned to the palace. He headed to the storage room of his father and mother's doll. Safia finds her father and mother in normal form but they are confused when they realize that they are in the closet. Safia hurriedly told me everything.
“Call the warrior's head” Order of the king. “It should be the witch in jail and her head cut off!!” added the king.
But when the soldiers arrive at the witch's room, they discover the witch has died.
The day became a day of excitement and Safia went to thank the wise woman who lived in the hollow of the tree. But when he got there he found nothing. It was like the tree had never been a place to live. Safia did not believe in her vision. He looked around in confusion. And suddenly a tall, handsome, well-dressed young man approached Safia.
“My respect to the princess” greet the young man, “I used to be the mouse, who hollowed out the closet where the princess in the husk, the princess was finally able to escape and travel to find a pear that contained the soul of a witch.
“So everything is true, and this is not a dream!!” sahut Safia while sobbing. “I came here to meet a wise woman but she has left.”
“Wise woman lives in a beautiful tree once” explained the young man “and now maybe she has moved to another tree without leaving a trace” added the young man
“Close with me so that my father can thank you” Safia pleaded with the young man.
Finally the young man came with the princess, when he arrived at the palace the young man told him that he was a prince who had been bewitched into a mouse.
“Will you stay here and marry my daughter, and then you become king as my successor because I have no son” pinta the king
And finally came the waiting time. The wedding ceremony of Safia and the prince for 7 days 7 malan, finally Safia and her husband lived happily ever after.
