Fairy Tales before Sleeping
"Nara, Simbok ameh nyritakne cerito Sewu Candi ('Nara, sewah wants to tell about the story of Thousand Temples')" Simbokku said in Javanese. I called my grandmother a symbok.
"Sewu Temple, mbok?", I said.
"Yes, in the Prambanan District there stands a thousand temples, Nduk. You know, the origin of gmn?".
"ora, Mbok", I answered briefly. For 4th grade elementary school children I am still a little layman, because in my school has not been taught about the story of the Thousand Temple.but, I know that not far from my village there are many temples, but, and the most famous is the Sewu Temple, which almost all over the world know.
Simbok then tells about the legend of Roro Jongrang and Bandung Bondowoso. Starting from the war between the Kingdom of Boko and Pengging. Killed Prabu Boko, who is famous for being beggar and likes to eat human flesh, as well as the devotion of Prince Bandung who get the strength and help of Jin Bondowoso. So as to kill the mighty and powerful Prabu Boko. then Princess Roro Jonggrang put forward the requirements if the prince of Bandung wants to marry her. The requirement is to make 1,000 temples overnight. Thanks to the help of Jin Bondowoso, eventually the temple was almost slese, but because of the cunning Jonggrang can finally be thwarted. Bandung was angry and angry to know that Jonggrang had lied to him and cursed him to become a statue of Roro Jonggrang.
I then asked "What do you think that Jonggrang statue will be able to live as a human again, Mbok?".
yet, Simbok answered my question, My mother entered my room, and told us to rest because it was late at night.
"Nara, Simbok, wes bengi iki, come gek ndang turu (Nara, Simbok, it's late, let's hunt sleep)".
"But, Ma, I'm not yet sleepy still want to hear the Simbok story". My back to Mama. My mother then said in a slightly irritated tone "Tomorrow if built for the school does not want to wake up, sleep now!!".
"Yowes, Sri rasah snapped - snapped nggono kui, mesakne, Nduk gek ndang sleep there, tomorrow followed again ya ceritane"., Simbokku said half protest to my mother who was upset with me, because I was wayward.
I then started to sleep and Simbokku blanketed me with a blanket of batik. Be surprised to see that there is a lotus mark on my back.
"Sri, come on metu, I ameh cerito (Sri, Come out I want a story)", Pinta Simbokku to my Mom.

"Sri, you have to realize that your son is special, he is not just any child. I'll tell you about your story and your son's little destiny".
"the papers, Mbok?". Ask my mother briefly, because she was so curious.
sighing and smiling, Simbokku headed to his room and picked up an ancient book.
My mother was still confused and curious about the book and asked my mother to the symbol.
"Mbok, iki opo books? (Mbok, what book is this?) I never saw this book?". asked my mother.
My benchmark suddenly shed tears and carefully looked towards my Mama. The feeling of being confused and curious makes my mother impatient to know immediately what secrets have been hidden by Simbok.
"Mbok, why even a nangist? what's up to? ak ora mudeng iki. (i don't know this)". My mother then shook my Simbok shoulder as she grew curious about the symbol.
"Alright, Sri, Simbok want to tell about your life history first, actually want Simbok to hide, but Simbok is afraid that there will be no time to tell it to you. Listen carefully and listen to Sri". Simbok said to my mother.
