In a land of Godless dowries a prudent king. The king lives with the empress and his sons and daughters. People love him so much. His palace is open at any time for anyone to visit. He wants to hear opinions and complaints of his people. Children can also play in the courtyard around the palace.
In the country live also a widow with a child who likes to play around the palace. Every time he goes to the palace, he always takes his favorite animal, a mosquito. The neck of the mosquito was tied with a rope and the end of the rope was held. The mosquitoes will follow wherever the child goes.
One afternoon, the boy was playing around the court yard. Because it was fun to play, he forgot the day was getting dark. The good king reminded him and told him to go home.
"Your parents must be nervous about waiting for you," said the king.
"Well, my lord," he replied, "because the servant must hurry home, the mosquito's left in the palace."
"Tie it to the stake near the stairs," said the king.
The next day, the boy came to the palace. He was shocked to see the mosquitoes being pecked and swallowed by a rooster. Heartbreaking because the mosquitoes he most dearly lost. He reported the incident to the king because the rooster belonged to the king.
"Take the rooster instead," said the king.
The boy thanked the king. The rooster's leg was tied up with a rope and taken to anywhere. That afternoon he was back playing around the palace. The rooster is just released so free to roam around. The rooster saw the king's assistants pounding the rice behind the palace, running her there. He pecked at the rice on the mat beside the dimple, even many times he tried to grab the rice in the mortar hole.
The king's maids drove the rooster out of their work. However, soon the chicken came again and greedily tried to chop the rice in a dimple.
They drove the chicken with the pestle they held. One of them not only drove away, but hit the pestle and hit the chicken's head. The chicken was wriggling in pain. Fresh blood flowed from the head. Not long afterwards, the chicken died.
How sad that the boy saw his favorite chicken die. He came to the king to plead for justice. "Take the pestle instead of your dead cock!" The king said to him.
The child kneels before the king and expressed his gratitude for the king's generosity.
"I left the pestle here because at my mother's house there is no place to keep it," he pleaded.
"Put the pestle in a jackfruit tree," said the king. Jackfruit tree is leafy and dense fruits.
The next day, when it was dusk, he meant to take the pestle to take home. However, the alu was broken and lying on the ground. Beside him rolled a jackfruit very large and fragrant smell.
"This jackfruit seems to be the cause of the aluku's brokenness," he said, "I will ask this jackal instead of aluku to the king!"
The king smiled at the request. "Take the jackfruit if you like," said the king.
"But it's getting dark," the boy said. "I have to get home quickly. If it is too late, my mother will be angry with me. I left this jackfruit in the palace. "
"Just fine," said the king, "put the jackfruit next to the kitchen door!"
The sweet-smelling jackfruit smelled all over the palace. One of the princesses also smelled the jackfruit. His tastes arise.
"I want to eat the jackfruit!" Said the princess trying to find where the jackfruit was. "The jackfruit is still hanging on a branch, I'll climb to get it!"
Of course the princess did not have to bother climbing the jackfruit tree because the jackfruit was by the kitchen door. He immediately took the knife and jackfruit was split and eaten as much as possible.
We can certainly guess what happened next. The boy demands compensation to the king. At first the king was bewildered, but with his wide breasts he said, "When your mosquitoes are cocked by a rooster, the rooster becomes instead. When the rooster dies from the pestle, I give the pestle to you. Similarly, when the alumu broke the jackfruit, the jackfruit belongs to you. Now, because my daughter is spending your ascension, there is no other way than to surrender my daughter to you. "
The princess of the same age as the child. However, they are immature so it is not possible to get married soon. As adults, both are married off. The king celebrates the feast royally. After the king died, the boy succeeded his father-in-law to the throne. His mother was also invited to live in the palace.
