Telaga Warna

long ago, there was a kingdom in west Java. The kingdom was ruled by a king. People called their king His Majesty Prabu. Prabu was a kind and wise king. No wonder if that country was prosperous. There's no hunger in this kingdom.It was a very happy condition. But it was a pity thatPrabu and his queen hadn't got any children. It made the royal couple very very sa. Some old men and woman who was respected by Prabu suggested the king to adopt a child. But Prabu and the quen didn't agree. "No, thank you. But for us, our own daughter or son is better than adopted children.The queen was very sad. She often cried. That was why Prabu decided to go. He went to the jungle.There he prayed to God. Every day he begged for a child. His dream come true. A few months later, the got fregnant. All people in the kingdom felt happy. They sent many presents to the palace to express their happiness.
Nine months later a princess was born. People sent their presents again as a gift to a little princes. This baby grew as a beautiful teenager then.

Prabu and queen loved their daughter so much. They gaved what ever she wanted. It made pPrinces a very spoiled girl. When her wish couldn't be realized, she became very angry. She even said bad things often. A true princes wouldn't do that. Eventhough the princes behaved badly, her parents loved her, so did the people in that kingdom.
Day by day, the princess grew more beautiful. No girls couldnt compare with her. In a few days, princes would be 17 years old. So, people of that kingdom went to palace.They brought many presebts for her. Their presents gift were very beautiful. Prabu collected the presents. There were really many presents. Then Prabu stored them in a building. Sometimes he could take them to give to his people.
Prabu only took some gold and jewels. then she brought them to the goldsmith. "Please make a beautiful necklace for my daughter," said Prabu. "my pleasure, your majesty," the goldsmith replied. The goldsmith worked with all his heart and his ability. He wanted to create the most beautiful necklace in the world because he loved his princes.
The birthday came. people gathered in the palace field. When prabu and queen appeared, people welcomed them happily. Prabu and his wife waved to their beloved people.
Princess accepted the necklace, she looked in the necklace in a glance."I don't want to accepted it! it's ugly!" Then she threw the necklace. The beautiful necklace was broken. The gold and the jewels were spread out on the floor.
Then there was a miracle. Earth was crying. Suddenly from the under ground, a spring emerged. It made a pool of water. The palace was getting full. Soon the palace became a big lake. The lake sank all of the kingdom.
Nowadays the water on that lake is not as full as before. There is only a small lake now. People called the lake " Te;aga warna ". It is mean "Lake of colour".
