They were Silou Kingdom, Tanah Djawo Kingdom, and Raya Kingdom.<br />
Those three kingdoms lived happily and peacefully. They got along very well and harmoniously. They knew by sticking together they would be very strong.<br />
Those three kingdoms lived in very fertile land. The people were prosperous. They never lacked any food. Other kingdoms were jealous with those three kingdoms. They planned to attack them. However they knew that those three kingdoms were very strong. They wanted just to attack the kingdoms one by one.<br />
The first kingdom that wanted to attack was Majapahit Kingdom. The kingdom tried to attack Tanah Djawo Kingdom.<br />
One soldier reported to the King of Tanah Djawo Kingdom.<br />
“Your Majesty, I have a bad news. Majapahit Kingdom is going to attack us.”<br />
“I know Majapahit is such a great kingdom. We cannot fight them alone, we need to ask our best friends to help us,” said the king of Tanah Djawo Kingdom. Then he sent message to the kings of Silou Kingdom and Raya Kingdom.<br />
The two kings responded the request. They sent their best soldiers to help the Tanah Djawo’s Kingdom. They did it! The three kingdoms were able to unite to fight the Majapahits. They made the Majapahit to leave their land.<br />
Sadly, their problems did not stop. It seemed that other kingdom was ready to attack. Nobody knew who they were. One thing for sure lots of soldiers were ready to attack the three kingdoms. They did it simultaneously. They attacked the three kingdoms at one time, and that made the three kingdoms could not help each other. They were saving their own lives!<br />
Slowly the three kingdoms lost the fight. They had to leave their places. They had to flee to find a safe place.<br />
They found a good place. The people built houses for them to stay. They did not know when they would go back home.<br />
Time passed by, their hiding place slowly became a small village. They have built houses, and they also had rice fields.<br />
One of them said that he missed his sometown. He asked some people to go back home.<br />
“I miss our hometown. Who wants to go back home with me?”<br />
“I don’t. I love this place, this is already my home. Besides that, I’m afraid our enemies were stil. there”.<br />
Well, some people also wanted to go back home.<br />
“I will join you. I miss my hometown.”<br />
Some people went back home. They brought some weapons, just in case the enemies were still there.<br />
After spending months in the journey, they finally arrived.<br />
Some of them were crying. Their hometown looked complately different. There were no any one there. The enemies already left the palce. It was full of bushes.<br />
They said,”Sima-sima nalungun.” They all kept on saying that. It means the quiet place. Slowly the place was named Simalungun, which is from the words sima-sima nalungun.Maman Solemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17272279281527568686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957257542283274618.post-84472735421580460402012-05-05T21:18:00.000+07:002012-05-05T21:18:48.826+07:00Kesuma (Folklore From East Java)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHNlhOqrm_GPDCNLmffUvGt3CbcERckiW0rawZWA02OQm7P_wQ45Zt8QLz0w6RdeJox37vN55YG_XI8MafTDDfoaOCzNjgppRykVEsa_yTba6Rss9Nia0JIeYUcEBogrr4i27g504IgVU/s1600/kesuma-232x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHNlhOqrm_GPDCNLmffUvGt3CbcERckiW0rawZWA02OQm7P_wQ45Zt8QLz0w6RdeJox37vN55YG_XI8MafTDDfoaOCzNjgppRykVEsa_yTba6Rss9Nia0JIeYUcEBogrr4i27g504IgVU/s1600/kesuma-232x300.jpg" /></a></div>The story told us about a husband and a wife named Joko Seger and Roro Anteng. They had been married for years and they did not have any children yet. They waanted to have children, they prayed to gods everyday. And finally Joko Seger had a vision. His wife would be pregnant if he meditated in a cave. However, a lion lived in the cave. Joko Seger fought with the lion. He won! Later he meditated in the cave. Now, do you want to know if Joko Seger and Roro really had some children?<br />
Joko Seger was meditating. Later, he heard a voice.<br />
“Joko Seger, all the Gods agreed to give you children, lots of children.”<br />
“Really? Thank you very much,” said Joko Seger happily.<br />
“But there is one condition you have to do.”<br />
“Say it. I will do anything as long as you give me lots of children,” said Joko Seger.<br />
“You will have 25 children. But you have to sacrifice one of them when they are adult.”<br />
“I agree,” said Joko Seger without any doubts. He was so happt that Gods would give them 25 children. He thought sacrificing one of them would not to be a problem. He would still have 24 children.<br />
<br />
At home, Joko Seger told his wife about his conversation with the god. And Roro Anteng could not say anything. After all, he husband had promised to Gods. She just hoped that they would never have to sacrifise one child.<br />
<br />
Later, Roro Anteng was pregnant. They had a baby! Joko Seger and Roro Anteng were very happy. The first baby was followed by others babies. Sometimes, the babies were born twins and other times the babies were born triplets. And the couple finally had 25 children! They were extremely happy.<br />
<br />
And when the children were grown up, Joko Seger had a dream. He talked to the God.<br />
“Joko Seger, remeber your promise. I want you to bring one of your children to the crater of Bromo Mountain. Sacrifice your child there. If you don”t keep you promise, the mountain will erupt and destroy everything.”<br />
<br />
Joko Seger wake up from his sleep. He was restless. He then talked to all his children about his promise.<br />
<br />
“No, father. I don’t want to die,” said the oldest.<br />
“I don’t eather, Father,” said another child.<br />
<br />
All the children refused to be sacrified. Joko Seger did not have the heart to force them. He loved all his children. Suddenly, the youngest child talked. His name was Kesuma.<br />
“Please let me do it, Father. I love our family and the people of Tengger. But please, commemorate my sacrifice. Every year, please hold a ceremony and provide some offerings to the creater of Bromo Mountain,” said Kesuma.<br />
<br />
Kesuma was a very good son. He was obedient to his parents and very kind to the other people. All the villagers loved him. He was kind and always helped other people.<br />
Kesuma went to the crater. He jumped and he was swallowed by fire. Everybody was sad. And they all were very thankful to Kesuma. Because of him, their place was safe from the eruption of Bromo Mountain.<br />
<br />
Until now, once a year the people of Tengger always hold a ceremony to commemorate Kesuma. They bring offerings to the crater of Bromo Mountain.Maman Solemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17272279281527568686noreply@blogger.com0
