The Legend of Rawa Pening
Once upon a time, there was a little poor boy came into a little
village. He was very hungry and weak. He knocked at every door and
asked for some food, but nobody cared about him. Nobody wanted to help
the little boy.
Finally, a generous woman helped him. She gave him shelter and a meal.
When the boy wanted to leave, this old woman gave him a “lesung”, a big
wooden mortar for pounding rice. She reminded him, “please remember,
if there is a flood you must save yourself. Use this “lesung” as a
boat”. The “lesung” was happy and thanked the old woman.The little boy
continued his journey. While he was passing through the village, he
saw many people gathering on the field. The boy came closer and saw a
stick stuck in the ground. People challenged each other to pull out
that stick. Everybody tried, but nobody succeeded. “Can I try?” asked
the little boy. The crowd laughed mockingly. The boy wanted to try his
luck so he stepped forward and pulled out the stick. He could do it
very easily. Everybody was dumbfounded.
Suddenly, from the hole left by stick, water spouted out. It did not
stop until it flooded the village. And no one was saved from the water
except the little boy and the generous old woman who gave him shelter
and meal. As she told him, he used the “lesung” as a boat and picked up
the old woman. The whole village became a huge lake. It is now known as
Rawa Pening Lake in Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia.
