THE LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN SNAIL

 

Long time ago, there was a couple, a husband and wife. They were Prince Raden Putra and Dewi Limaran. They lived in a palace, and Prince Raden Putra's father was the king of the kingdom.

 

One day, Dewi Limaran was walking around in the palace garden when she suddenly saw a snail. It was ugly and disgusting. 

 

"Yuck!" said Dewi Limaran and threw it into a river. 

 

However, she made a big mistake because she didn't know that the snail was actually an old and powerful witch.

 

The witch had the ability to transform herself into anything, and she was angry with Dewi Limaran. The witch put a spell on her, turning her into a golden snail. Maybe the golden snail was shiny and had a beautiful color, but it was still a snail. The witch then threw the snail into the river as an act of revenge.

 

What happened to the golden snail and Dewi Limaran? The golden snail drifted away in the river and got caught in a net. An old woman who was fishing used her net to catch some fish and was surprised to find a golden snail in it. She took it home and went to sleep. When she woke up in the morning, she was surprised to find that her house was in good condition, the floor was mopped, and there was food on the table. She was very curious.

 

"The person who did this is very kind," she said to herself.

 

It happened again every morning. One night, she decided to stay up late and saw the golden snail transform into a beautiful woman. The old woman was confused and a little afraid. 

 

She approached the woman and asked, "Who are you, young girl?"

 

"I am Dewi Limaran, Ma'am. I am cursed by a powerful witch. I can only change back into a human at night," explained Dewi Limaran. 

 

"The spell can be broken if I hear the melody from the holy gamelan," she continued.

 

The old woman was surprised and rushed to the palace to tell Prince Raden Putra about his lost wife. He had been searching for her everywhere but couldn't find her. 

He prayed and meditated, asking God to give him the holy gamelan to break the witch's spell.

 

After several days of praying and meditating, God granted his wish and gave Raden Putra the holy gamelan.

He immediately brought it to the old woman's house and played it beautifully. 

A beautiful melody filled the air, and miraculously, the golden snail turned back into the beautiful Dewi Limaran. Raden Putra jumped and hugged Dewi Limaran tightly.

The couple was overjoyed to be together again and thanked the old woman for her kindness. As a token of their gratitude, they asked her to stay in the palace.
