In the ancient time, lived a young man named Galoran. He was
respected because of his wealth and honor. His parents were nobleman so he
could live with luxury. However, he was very wasteful and every day just
squandered the wealth of his parents.
One day, his parents died, but he did not care and continued
to spend money as well as before. Because his life was so extravagant, all the
treasure that he had was running out and he became an unemployed person. Many
people sympathized with him and offered a job. But every time he got the job,
he just dallied and it made him always be fired. Several months later, there
was a wealthy widow who interested him. He married the widow and of course, he
was very happy to be living in luxury again.
The widow had a daughter who was very diligent and clever to
weave. Her name is Jambean, a beautiful girl and had been famous because of her
weaving. However, Galoran did not like the girl, because the girl often scolded
him because of his laziness. Finally, he threatened to torture and kill
Jambean. He revealed the plan to his wife and the wife was very sad to hear of
the threat.
Hearing the news, Jambean was very sad but she volunteered
herself to be killed by her father. She told that she wanted to be dumped into
a dam and did not burry under the ground after the death. The mother agreed and
did all of her wants. In the dam, her body and head suddenly turned into the
golden slugs.
Several years later, there are two widows who were looking
for firewood. They were kindred, the first widow named Mbok Sambega Rondo and
the second called Mbok Rondo Sembagil. When looking for the firewood in the
jungle, they were very surprised because of finding the beautiful golden slugs.
They brought it and maintained at home.
Once they brought the snails, there was always a miracle
every day. Their kitchen was always filled with the delicious food when they
came home from work. They were very surprised, and wanted to know the person
who made those foods. They pretended to go to work and hid in the back of the
house. A few moments later, there was a beautiful girl came from the inside of
the conch and she began to cook the delicious meals.
Both widows then secretly held and did not let the girl to get into the
snail anymore. The girl apparently was Jambean who had been killed by her
father. Both widows then allowed her to stay with them. Because of their
versatility in weaving, she got her famous back and made a handsome prince
attracted. In the end, she married the prince and lived happily.
