King Oma and Queen Idul

THE QUEEN AND THE KING

In a kingdom named Dangdang Dudutan, lives a very wealthy and generous king. His territory is very large. His land is famous with its natural resources. His people are prosperous. None of the youngsters stop their study in elementary school. Even the kingdom gives scholarships for his people who want to continue his study in Doctoral degree. The king himself has a doctoral degree. He is very handsome. He is also muscular and in a good shape. The king’s name is Omah Iramah.

“My people must be smart! They must study until the end! I don’t want our kingdom crawls and being left behind by other empires. Let them study for free.” ordered the king.

One day, the king and some bodyguards, such as Aa Rai, Bung Napi, and Kentung, were riding horses in their hunting trip. They were hunting down Bugs Bunny and Woody Woodpecker. Then, something came up. Suddenly, a very big tiger passed in front of them. The tiger was just passing, but the horses were shocked and terrified. They neighed fearfully and stood on two of their back legs so that the king fell on the ground. The bodyguards helped him right away.

“Are you alright, your majesty? Are you hurt? Which one is hurt, sire?” said his bodyguards.

Fortunately, the king only had light injury. There were only some scratches on his bottom, but he was alright. So the king was taken back to the castle.

But something strange happened. Since the accident, the king became so moody. He never smiled since then. He lost his appetite, and he didn’t want to do his hobby anymore.

“Your majesty, please eat some. We don’t want our king to be sick.” said Prince Ariel Belerman and Princess Agnes Moniroo.

“Leave me alone. Don’t disturb me.” exclaimed the king.

It had been a week and the king mysterious illness had not been recovered. Some doctors had been sent and tried to cure him, but none was successful. Everybody in the castle was confused and frustrated. They asked to themselves how long it would last.

One day, Prince Ariel was running to the palace. He seemed so happy. He wanted to tell every member of the family about what he dreamed last night.

“Folks, I dreamed last night. In my dream, there was an old man with long thick beard wearing white robe came to me. He said that father’s illness can be healed.” said Prince Ariel.

“Oh, ya. How?” asked Princess Agnes curiously.

“In the dream, we must invite a queen from Java Island. The queen has a healing power to make anyone happy. She has a unique way in curing someone. She is not only famous in her kingdom, but also in her neighboring countries.”

“How can we invite her?” said the Prime Minister.

“Officially, and don’t forget money, money, money.” answered the prince.

“We can arrange that. By the way, what’s her name? Princess Agnes asked.

“Idul Daranista”

A week later, the queen came. Everybody was very hopeful waiting for her. They were so worried if she could not make it.

After resting for a while, Idul asked the prime minister to take her to the king.

“Where’s the king, sir? asked Idul.

“Right over here, ma’am. Let me take you there.” answered the prime minister.

In front of the king, Idul hurriedly prepared everything. She asked the butler to find a stereo. The king just stared indifferently. When everything was ready, she inserted a magical cassette to the stereo and the king’s bedroom became so lively. Idul began to dance. Firstly, she moved her body, then bent her arms, nodded her head, and when the music got hotter, she began to show her magical movement. It was very very attractive. It was a drilling move. It was slow in the beginning, then it became faster and faster. That was why the king was startled. His mouth was opened, and he could not blink his eyes. Then suddenly he laughed very loudly.

“Ha…ha…ha…. It’s like my mother’s movement when she is playing hoola hoop. But this one is more interesting. Ha…ha…ha…..”

“Listen, the king is laughing. He’s been recovered. Thanks God!” said Prince Ariel and Princess Agnes Moniroo.

“Well, guys. I’ve done my job. I think your king is alright now. Then I can not stay any longer here. I still have things to do in my neighboring country, Singaparna. I’m sure you have arranged my payment.” said Idul.

“Oh, off course. Anyway we are very grateful to you. How will it be if there’s no you here. Thanks a lot.” said Princess Agnes.

From the distance, suddenly the king said charismatically, “Idul, please don’t go. Stay here for a few more days.”

“Sorry, king. I can’t. If you miss me, just buy my CD. Okay?” said the queen.

Since then, the king is back to normal. He likes to listen to Idul’s songs through a singing box and watch her miraculous living pictures. They can only listen to her songs. He said that this can make his people play jokes at his mother.

What a king.

POLLY, THE ARROGANT GRASSHOPPER

Polly, the grasshopper lived in a bug’s village. But no bugs liked him because he was very arrogant. He always thought himself as the richest bug in the village.

One day, when he was walking along the village, he met Beebee, the bee. Beebee greeted him, but as usual he never answered any bugs greeting.

“What an arrogant bug he is!” grumbles Beebee.

And also when he saw Neenee, an old ladybug fell on the road. He did not help her. He let the old lady alone. He did not pity her.

“Polly, please help me. I’m hurt.” Ask Neenee. But Polly just grinned. He did nothing, just grinned. So Neenee tried herself to stand up unsteadily.

Several days later, Polly bought a motorcycle. He showed it off to the villagers.

“They will be jealous seeing that I have a motorcycle.” said himself.

When he was riding his new motorcycle, he saw Any, the ant was riding his bicycle.

“Ha…ha…ha…., it’s time for me to mock him. I’m gonna surprise him”

So then he pushed the horn so loudly. It made Any surprised even shocked and he stumbled on to the road. And his bicycle hit the tree and it was badly damage. Fortunately Any was alright.

“God damn it, you ugly stinking Polly!! Said Any angrily.

Polly laughed cheerfully seeing Any fell from his bike. He just kept going on his motorbike. When he passed by a little worm playing with his toys, he ran over his toys and he let him crying all alone.

Father worm saw that and he got very mad.

“You ugly son of a gun, Polly! Come here. Don’t run away!” Father worm shouted.

So, father worm tried to persuade his weeping son.

“Don’t cry, son. Don’t worry, I’ll make that one again for you. It will even be more beautiful than before.” Said father worm.

Arrogantly, Polly increased the speed. His motorbike ran very fast then. But he forgot that he could not ride it very well. So his motorbike fell into the river.

Fortunately, Polly could swim whereas his bike drowned into the river. He hurt. His head was bumped on the stone. He was wounded on his head.

“How pity I am. I lost my new bike.” Said Polly sadly.

Trying very hard to walk to the village, he came over Beebee’s house. He told everything. So Beebee help him to bandage his wound. Polly was very grateful that Beebee had helped him. He also apologized to Beebee, because he had hurt his heart. And Beebee said:

“Being a creature, we must not be arrogant and selfish. It’s not a good manner.” advised Beebee to Polly.

Polly realized and promised he would never be arrogant and selfish anymore. Helped by the villagers, Beebee tried to pull Polly’s motorbike from the water.

Now, Polly’s personality has changed. He is friendly and helpful among bugs. Every bug loves him.
