RORO JONGGRANG VERSI INGGRIS OLEH GOPRET
RORO
JONGGRANG
Long time ago, there was a kingdom named Prambanan. All the people of Prambanan lived peacefully. But then, Prambanan kingdom was attacked and occupied by the Pengging kingdom. Prambanan then was ruled by Bandung Bondowoso of Pengging kingdom. He was a mean king. He also had great supernatural power. His soldiers were not only humans, but also genies.
The king of Prambanan had a beautiful daughter named Loro
Jonggrang. Bandung Bondowoso fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. “You’re
very beautiful. Would you be my queen?” asked Bandung Bondowoso. Loro Jonggrang
was shocked. She didn’t like Bandung Bondowoso because he was a mean person.
She wanted to refuse, but she afraid that Bandung Bondowoso would be angry and
endangered the people of Prambanan. Then, she came up with a plan. “If you want
to marry me, you have to build a thousand temples for me in just one
night," said Loro Jonggrang. “What? That’s impossible!” said Bandung
Bondowoso. But he did not give up. He consulted with his advisor. “Your Majesty
can asked the genies to help built the temples,” said the advisor.
So, Bandung Bondowoso summoned his entire genies soldier and commanded them to help him built a thousand temples. The genies worked in unbelievable speed. Meanwhile, Loro Jonggrang heard from her servant that the building of a thousand temples was almost finished. She was so worried. But again, she came up with a great idea. She asked all of her servants to help her. "Please prepare a lot of straw and mortar. Please hurry up!" said Loro Jonggrang. “Burn the straw and make some noise pounding the mortar, quickly.” All those servants did what Loro Jonggrang ordered them; burning straw and pounding the mortar, making the genies think that the sun is going to rise.

“It’s already dawn. We have to go,” said the leader of the
genies to Bandung Bondowoso. All the genies immediately stopped their work and
ran for cover from the sun, which they afraid of. They didn’t know that the
