Golden snail
Once
upon a time, there was a couple living in a palace. They were Prince Raden
Putra and Dewi Limaran. Prince Raden Putra's father was the king of the
kingdom.
One day, Dewi Limaran was walking around in the palace garden. Suddenly she saw
a snail. It was ugly and disgusting.
"Yuck!"
said Dewi Limaran and then she threw it away into a river.
She
did not know that the snail was actually an old and powerful witch. She could
transform herself into anything. The witch was angry to Dewi Limaran. The witch
put a spell on her and changed her into a golden snail. The witch then threw it
away into the river.
The
golden snail was drifting away in the river and got caught into a net. An old
woman was fishing and used her net to catch some fish. She was surprised to see
a golden snail in her net. She took it and brought it home. When the old woman
woke up in the morning, she was surprised that the house was in the good
condition.
The
floor was mopped. And she also had food on the table. She was thinking very
hard.
"Who
did this to me? The person is very kind." It happened again and again
every morning.
The
old woman was very curious. One night she decided to stay up late. She was
peeping from her room to know who cooked for her. Then, she could not believe
what she saw. The golden snail she caught in the river turned into a beautiful
woman. The old woman approached her.
"Who are you, young girl?"
"I am Dewi Limaran, Ma'am. A witch cursed me. I can
change back as a human only at night," explained Dewi Limaran.
"The spell can be broken if I hear the melody from the
holy gamelan," continued Dewi Limaran.
The old woman then rushed to the palace. She talked to Prince Raden Putra about
her wife.
Prince Raden Putra was so happy. He had been looking for his wife everywhere.
He then prayed and meditated. He asked the gods to give him
the holy gamelan. He wanted to break the witch's spell. After several days
praying and meditating, finally gods granted his wish. He immediately brought
the holy gamelan to the old woman's house. He played it beautifully. And then
amazingly the golden snail turned into the beautiful Dewi Limaran.
The couple was so happy that they could be together again. They also thanked
the old woman for her kindness. As a return, they asked her to stay in the
palace.
