The Legend of Lotus
(Folklore from West Java)

    Once upon a time, there was a kingdom named Umbul Wening. The king was Prabu Ranubahu. He had a very beautiful daughter named Dewi Arum. Dewi Arum had a strange habit. She liked to swim in a pond. She could spend hours swim­ming and forgot everything. The king often got angry when Dewi Arum swam in the pond and neglected her duties as a princess.

    Meanwhile, people lived happily. Their happy lives were disturbed when they suf­fered a terrible illness. It made the king sad. He already asked the palace healer to cure them. Unfortunately the palace healer was also unable to heal the illness.

    The king then prayed to god. Days and nights he asked god to heal the illness. And when the king was sleeping, he had a dream. An old man told the king that the illness could be healed with flowers in a pond in a forest and the person who had to pick the flowers was Dewi Arum.

    When the king woke up, he immediately called the princess. He told her about the dream and asked her to pick the flowers. Actually the king was not sure his daughter could go there. It was very far from the palace. The king then asked the ladies-in-waiting to accompany the princess.

    After going through a very difficult journey, the princess finally arrived in the forest. Nobody had ever been to this jungle before. Wild animals were everywhere. They all were really scared. They all hoped to find the pond soon and picked the flowers.

    Finally, they found the pond. It was very beauti­ful and the water was very clear. For a moment, they all forgot about their mission. They were amazed by the beauty of the pond. The princess was the happiest person. She had never seen a beautiful pond like that before. She swam and swam for hours. The ladies-in-waiting reminded the princess about picking the flowers, but she ignored them.

    Meanwhile the king was waiting in the palace. He was very restless. He knew the people really needed the flowers to heal the illness. He could not wait any longer. He then went to the jungle to follow the princess. On his arrival at the pond, he saw the princess swimming! The king was really angry.

    "Dewi Arum! What are you doing here? Our people are dying and you are having fun swim­ming in the pond. I’ve told you many times not to neglect your duties. You are allowed to swim but you have to do your duties first. I’m really disappointed with you! You don’t deserve to be the princess and live in the palace. You deserve to live here in the pond!" said the king.

    He was really angry. Surprisingly, the princess sank into the pond and a beautiful flower suddenly appeared. The king was speechless. He regretted what he said, but it was too late. Then, the king brought the flower to the palace and everybody was cured. People were also amazed by the flowers.

    Since that day, people named the flower lotus. It grew in water a Dewi Arum spent hours swimming. Above all, it's important for us to obey our parents' advice and do our duties.
