Princess Roro Anteng

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess. Her name was Roro Anteng. Her pretty appearance made every man want her to be his princess,but no one was good enough for her.

Princess

One day, a giant came to Roro Anteng. The giant wanted Roro Anteng to become his princess. Roro Anteng was very afraid to reject the giant. She said,"I will be your princess if you can make 1000 temples in one night." The giant said,"Ok, I will finish them in one night." The giant worked very fast, because many bad spirits helped him.

Roro Anteng was very afraid because in several hours the giant had already made 900 temples. Roro Anteng called all her servants to make noise. They used many things to make noise. All the chickens thought that it was morning already. They crowed, and when the bad spirits heard the chickens` crowing, they were afraid because bad spirits will die if the sun`s rays hit them. They ran away and made a commotion. The giant was hit by a big rock and died.

Roro Anteng was very happy because she didn`t have to marry the giant. Until now we still can see, the temples which are not finished yet. And people call them the Roro Anteng Temples.
