The Legend of Telaga Warna

Long time ago, there was a kingdom in West Java. The kingdom was ruled by a king named Prabu. He was a kind and wise king. But it was a pity that Prabu and his queen hadn't got any children. The queen often cried. That was why Prabu went to the jungle. There he prayed to God every day, begging for a child.

“Oh My God. You have given everything for me. But, until now you haven’t given me a child. So, please show me and my wife your miracle.”

A few months later, the queen got pregnant. She was very happy. Nine months later, a princess was born. Prabu and Queen loved their beautiful daughter so much. They gave whatever she wanted. It made Princess turn into a very spoiled girl.

One day, the princess celebrated her 17th birthday party. Many people gathered in the palace. Then, Prabu took out a necklace which was made from gold and jewel.

"My beloved daughter, today id your birthday. May God always bless you. So, I give you this necklace. Please, wear this necklace," said Prabu.

"I don't want to wear it! It's very ugly! Can you give me anything except this necklace? I am pretty, it’s impossible for me to wear it, Dad." shouted the princess.

Then she threw the necklace. The beautiful necklace was broken. The gold and jewels were spread out on the floor. Everybody was very shocked.

“Oh My God, I never think that our princess will do that cruel thing.” Said a few of people.

In their silence, people heard the queen crying. Every woman felt sad and began crying too. Then, everybody was crying. Then, there was a miracle. Earth was crying.

Suddenly, from the underground, a spring emerged. It made a pool of water. Soon, the place became a big lake. The lake finally sank the kingdom.


Nowadays, people called the lake "Telaga Warna". It means "Lake of Color". On a bright day, the lake is full of color. These colors come from shadows of forest, plants, flowers, and sky around the lake. But some people said that the colors are from the princess's necklace, which spreads at the bottom of the lake.

The moral values we can learn from that strory are
- Soon as a parents, we cant spoil our child too much
- We must respect every gift from our parents The next story is twenty something. The story is about a young woman approaching her 20th birthday. Remembering herself as an adult made her fearful of the adult world, concerned about how her life would turn out, and she tried to act as if she were still a child. she realizes what she's doing is wrong everything will work out as it should if we try so hard, right? She overcame his anxiety after recognizing his behavior and began to live his days joyfully.

There is one word that I rarely found. First, from Talaga Warna. It is Emerged and from twenty something that I’ve ever read before “ potty” I think it’s a slang word, but actually its’s not. The meaning of potty is like “ I wanna take a pee”. Because the video only take 7 minutes and cartoon movie, thankfully the word isn’t hard to understand, we are as a watcher easy to define the moral values, yes we can say this is a light movie to watch and I recommend this movie to everybody who likes short movie that easy to understand especially people that interest in English movie
Okay that’s it from me, thank you so much.. see you in another podcast!!
