A long time ago, the sun
did not shine too long. It was only shine for a while then it set to the west.
Earth was in dark most of the time. People did not like it. There were not many
things they could do during the day. They wished to see the sun shine longer.
There was one man who really hated
to be in dark. His name was Rangga. Everyday he was thinking how he could make
the sun shine long enough. One day, he had an idea.
"I think the sun is too big to
move. If we can break it into some pieces, the sun can move quickly. Therefore
we can have enough light from the sun," said Rangga to his friend.
"But, how can we break the
sun?" asked one of his friend.
"We can break it by throwing a
spear. But it should be a magic spear," said Rangga.
"How can we get the magic
spear?" asked his friend.
"Let's meditate in the jungle.
We ask the elf to guide us to find the magic spear," explained Rangga.
Then Rangga and his friends
meditated in the jungle. It was not an easy thing to do. They weredisturbed by
wild animals. Luckily they had strong concentration. They were safe from the
animals. After a while, an alf finally came to them.
"What do you want my
child?" asked the elf.
"We want to break the sun. We
need to find a magic spear," explained Rangga.
"Hmm...the magic spear belongs
to the great thief. You have to fight him and grabs the spear from him,"
said the elf.
Rangga and his friends understood.
They knew about the great thief. They heard that he had a supernatural power.
Luckily the elf had also given them the supernatural power to fight against the
great thief.
Rangga and his friends were looking
for the great thief. They finally found him. At first Rangga nicely asked the
great thief to give him the spear, but of course the thief refused.
"Why should I give you the
spear so you can break the sun? I love darkness. I can steal easily,
ha...ha...ha..."said the thief.
Rangga and his friends knew they did
not have other choice. Then they were fighting. Thanks to the supernatural
power given by the elf, Rangga and friends won the fight.
Finally Rangga held the magic spear.
He held it firmly. He did not want to waste the time. He wanted to throw the
spear and break the sun.
Rangga concentrated and threw the
spear with great power towards the sun. And it worked! The sun was breaking
into some pieces. The biggest piece became a moon and the small pieces became
the stars.
Since then, the sun shines long
enough. And when it set to the west, the earth was not completely in the dark.
The moon and the stars gave people enough light.
