The Legend of the Seven Wasted Girls

From inside the forest, we heard seven girls crying. Apparently they got lost. They are thrown into the forest by their parents because they are no longer able to care and feed. Actually, the youngest knew the plan when they were invited to look for wood into the forest. That is why he spread the seeds of corn to mark the path they went through. But unfortunate, the seeds of corn were eaten by birds. The youngest and his older siblings lost their way and lost further.

"Ouch, what's this?" cried the Eldest in panic.

"Let's just keep walking, brother, who knows in front there is a way out," replied the Youngest.

The seven girls walked aimlessly. For days they walked, finally out of the forest and arrived in a village.

"This village is very strange, the atmosphere is silent," said one of them

"Hey, look! It's a very large cornfield, and oh, there's a river too!" his other brother squealed. The seven girls hurried to the river. They want a bath to clean their sticky and dirty bodies.

Suddenly, their pace stopped. At the edge of the river, a pair of giants are bathing. Both faces are terrible.

"If we look at them, they'll eat us," whispered the Eldest.

"Then what should we do?" another girl replied.

"Shhh ... I have some sense, Sister.What if we mix the water of the river with frosts, they will definitely feel itchy.Well, once they get out of the river, we trap them," suggested the Youngest.

"How do you guess?" his tangoak did not understand.

"They'll run to their hut, so we'll make the bundles in the hut, then we'll make a fireplace under the hut, and if they come in, the hut will collapse and they will die burning," the youngest explained.

His six siblings nodded in understanding. Without wasting time, they run the Youngest's proposal. Everything went perfectly, the two giants were dead baked.

The girls ended up living in the village. They set up seven huts and divided the giant field into seven pieces. Each field is planted with corn and various kinds of flowers.

The seven fields are very fertile. The harvest is abundant. The flower garden also spread the fragrant smell. The fragrant smell invites a kenui bird to make a nest there. Of the seven girls, only the youngest who allowed the kenui bird made a nest and lay eggs there. Oddly, after a few days of living in the Youngest's field, the kenui bird flew to somewhere. The bird left the egg.

One day, when the Youngest came home from the fields, he smelled the sweet smell of cooking in his hut. "Who's cooking?" she whispered in surprise. How surprised he was when he saw a handsome young man in his kitchen. Apparently that young man is cooking. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" asked the Youngest with a little fear.

The young man recounted his origins. Apparently, he came out of the egg of the kenui bird left by the mother. Hearing the young man's story and seeing his beautiful face, the Youngest was not afraid anymore.

They became familiar and fell in love, eventually getting married. The Youngest and her husband live happily. Every day her husband worked in the fields. Apparently the happiness of the youngest creates jealousy in his six siblings.

"It's so good he, there's a handsome young man who married him," said the Eldest. "Why do not we get rid of her, and her husband will marry one of us," one of them suggested.

The next morning, the Youngest went to the river to wash. Unbeknownst to him, the six siblings sneaked behind. Suddenly they push the Youngest to the river. The morning stream was very heavy. The Youngest can not fight, his body was carried away and lost from view. His six sisters smiled with satisfaction, they were convinced the youngest would drown.

But God wants another. The Youngest is swallowed by a giant fish. Because of the glut, the fish is sleeping on the surface of the water. Unfortunate for the fish, an old grandmother found it.

With his machete, the grandmother tried to cut up the body of the fish. Strange, though it was trying hard, it was not able to hurt the body of the fish. Finally the grandmother was exhausted and decided to take a break. Suddenly, he heard the bird sing, "Bolidang bbolangi pabeli iwa balak". Understand him, to cut the body of the fish he must use leaf belidang.

How surprised the grandmother was when she saw the Youngest out of the belly of the fish. "Beautiful girl, who are you? Why are you in the belly of a fish?" the grandmother asked in a row. The Youngest told what happened. "Can I stay here, Grandma?" he asked. Touched by the girl's story, he agreed, "Of course, you can stay as long as you want."

Meanwhile, elsewhere, the youngest husband is confused to find his wife. He repeatedly asked his six sisters-in-law, but no one knew where he was. Finally, he decided to find his wife alone. He started by going down the river because he thought it might be the Youngest dragged the current while washing.

The man's journey stopped at a village at the edge of the river. He was very tired and looking for a place to rest. He knocked on the door of a hut that turned out to be Grandma's hut.

"Excuse me, may I rest here?" the man shouted.

The youngest who was sewing, was surprised to hear the voice of her husband. He immediately ran to the door followed by the Grandmother. "My husband!" she shouted at the sight of her husband at the door. They hugged each other.

"Thank you, Nek, for this help," the man said.

The old man nodded. He wiped his tears as they said goodbye. The Youngest and her husband came home and met her six sisters again.

They welcomed the Youngest with shame and relief. They are overwhelmed with embarrassment for harming their favorite sister. They apologize to the Youngest. After the event, the seven brothers lived in harmony and peace.

The moral message of the Lampung People's Story: The Youngest's Story for You is Be a merciful and merciful human being. Throw away the envy of the success of others.
