Telaga Bidadari"

The lake is not wide and deep, about three meters long and two meters wide by two meters
deep. The water is clear and clear, never dry even though drought. It is on a bund, under the
shade, splendor, and shade of the trees, especially the lemon tree. If the lemon trees bloom,
swarm the birds and the insects suck on honey. On the surface of the land it spread with the
fertile of a kind of plant, the name of the gadung. Gadung has a large tuber and can be made
into a tasty cracker and tasty. However, if less skillful process can be toxic to people who eat
it because of intoxicating.

The area is inhabited by a handsome man, Awang Sukma his name. He lives alone and has no
wife. He became a ruler in the area. Therefore, he holds the data. In addition to his handsome
face, he is also adept at blowing the flute. The songs touch the feelings of anyone who listens.

Awang Sukma often harvest birds when the lemon trees are flowering and the birds drip
honey sucking. He put the sap of the already cooked tree by sticking it in the bamboo slats.
The bamboo blades that have been given the sap are called pulut. The pulut was placed on the
sidelines of the flower stalk. When the birds land, the wingspan will stick in the pulut. The
more the bird struggled, the more tightly its wings were attached. Finally, the bird floundered
to the ground with the blades of the pulut. Then, Awang Sukma catches it and puts it in the
basket. Usually, dozens of birds can be brought home. It is said that that is why among the
inhabitants, Awang Sukma dubbed Datu Suling and Datu Pulut.

However, one day the atmosphere in the area was very quiet. There are no birds and no
insects are interested in approaching the blooming Iimau flowers.

"Wonder," said Awang Sukma, "it looks like the lemon blossoms are poisonous so the birds
do not want to come anymore." Awang Sukma does not despair. Lying in the shade of the
limes, he sang beautiful songs through his flute. Always so he did while keeping his pulut hit.
Actually by blowing the flute, he wanted to amuse himself. Because with the rhythm of the
flute rhythm, his longing for those he left behind was rather healed. It is said that Awang
Sukma is a migrant from a distant land.

Awang Sukma was stunned by his flute rhythm. The gentle breeze that stroked her hair made
her sleepy. Finally, the distillation echo disappears and the flute lies on its side. He fell
asleep.

I do not know how long he was lulled into a dream, he suddenly woke up to the alarm of the
flapping wings. He did not believe in his eyesight. Her eyes were rubbed.

Apparently, there are seven beautiful young princess down from the sky. They flew to the
lake. Not long afterwards, there was a loud noise and laughter burst into the water.

"I want to see them up close," murmured Awang Sukma as he searched for a spot for a peek
that was not easily known to the person being peeped.

From the hideout, Awang Sukma can look more clearly. The seven daughters had no idea that
a pair of handsome eyes sharply enjoyed their bodies. Awang Sukma's eyes stop at their
clothes scattered on the edge of the lake. The clothes are both a means to fly them as they
descend to the lake and return to their homes in heaven. Surely they are angels who descend
to mayapada.

Satisfied in the clear water of the lake, they play around on the edge of the lake. It is said,
their game called surui lady. They are busy playing so do not know Awang Sukma took and
hid the clothes of one of the princesses. Then, the clothes were put into a bumbung (tube
from the reeds used cooking lemang). The barn is hidden in the kindai (barn where rice is
stored).

When the seven daughters wanted to wear their clothes back, one of them found no clothes.
Awang Sukma's actions make them panic. The princess who lost her clothes is the youngest
daughter, the most beautiful coincidence. As a result, the youngest daughter can not fly back
to heaven.

Confusion, fear, and resentment make the youngest daughter helpless. At that time, Awang
Sukma came out of his hiding place.

"Daughter do not be afraid and sad," persuasion Awang Sukma, "stay while with the servant."

There is no reason for the youngest daughter to refuse. The youngest daughter lived with
Awang Sukma.

Awang Sukma felt that the youngest daughter was his soul mate so he asked for her hand.
Youngest daughter was willing to be his wife. They become a very harmonious couple,
between beauty and beauty, wisdom and meekness, in the bond of love. The fruit of their love
is a princess who is named Kumalasari. His face and skin inherited his mother's beauty.

Apparently it is already customary of the world, nothing is everlasting and eternal on this
earth. What is hidden Awang Sukma during this finally smelled.
That afternoon, Awang Sukma slept very well. He felt very tired after work. His wife sat
beside her daughter's crib, who was also sound asleep. At that moment, a black cock went up
into the barn. He scratched and poked the rice on the surface of the barn while clucking with
noisy. Rice was scattered to the floor.

Youngest daughter hunting him. Unintentionally his eyes stared at a bumbung in the former
black chicken kaisan earlier. The youngest daughter picked up the granary because she
wanted to know what was inside. How surprised his heart after seeing the contents of the
barn.

"It turns out, my husband is hiding my clothes so I can not go home with my brothers," he
said while clutching the clothes.

Feelings of the youngest daughter raged so that her chest went up. He felt furious, annoyed,
deceived, angry, and sad. Various flavors that mingle with love to her husband.

"I have to go back," he told himself.

Then, the youngest daughter wore the clothes. After that, he holds his daughter who has not
been a year old. She hugged and kissed her daughter as much as she cried. Kumalasari was
crying. The mother and child cry made Awang Sukma awake.

Awang Sukma stunned as he stared at the clothes worn by his wife. The barn where the
clothes were hidden lay on the kindai. He realized that the moment of separation could not be
postponed again.

"Adina must return," said his wife. "Kanda, keep our daughter, Kumalasari. If he missed his
mother, take seven seeds of candlenuts, put them into a basket. Then, the basket Kanda jiggle.
Sing a song with Kanda's flute. Adinda will come and see him. "

The youngest daughter flies and disappears in space leaving her beloved husband and
daughter. His wife's message was done. However the longing for his wife had to be buried
because they could not unite as usual. Her love spilled over to Kumalasari, her daughter. It is
said that Awang Sukma swears and forbids his offspring to keep the black cock that is
considered to bring disaster to him.

The lake referred to in the above legend is then named Telaga Bidadari, located in the village
of Pematang Gadung. The village belongs to the Sungai Raya subdistrict, eight kilometers
from the town of Kandangan, the capital of Hulu Sungai Selatan district of South Kalimantan
Province.

Until now, Telaga Bidadari is visited by many people. In addition, there are no residents who
keep black chickens, purportedly according to the oath of Awang Sukma who holds Datu
Pulut and Datu Suling.

embodiment of a boy named Kweiya . How did it come ? Consider the story of The Origin of

In ancient times there lived an old woman with a dog in the Mountains Bumberi females ,

the forest . That day , they had to walk quite a distance because food supplies around the
house has begun to diminish . After walking quite a distance , they arrived at a place which is

birth to a boy . The child was named Kweiya .
Ten years later , Kweiya has grown into a teenager . Kweiya working very diligently to help
her mother with open forest to be used as a vegetable garden . However, because it uses only
a stone ax , he was only able to cut down one tree every day . Meanwhile , his mother could
only help burn the leaves of the trees that had fallen . As a result , heavy smoke was
billowing and soar into the air . Without them knowing it , it turns out the thick smoke has
attracted the attention of an old man who was fishing in a river .

" Hi , from where thick smoke that ? Who is burning the forest ? " Muttered the old man .By
curiosity , the old man immediately find the source of the thick smoke . After a tiring journey
, he arrived at the place the smoke is coming from. There, she found a handsome teenager
being cut down in the hot sun .

" Weing weinggiha pohi ( good afternoon ) , young man , " called the old man . " Who are
you and why cutting down the forest here ? "" My name Kweiya . I want to make my
mother's garden to help " responsible KweiyaThe old man understood that Kweiya was a
devoted son to his parents . So he gave his iron ax to Kweiya ."Then , take the iron ax . You
will be quickly cut down a tree , " said the old man . " Thank you sir , " replied Kweiya .

Kweiya also can get the job done quickly . In a short time , he was able to knock down some
big trees . After that , he rushed home to tell the results of his work to his mother . His mother
was very surprised at the news .

" How fast can you cut down the trees , my son ? What tools do you use ? " She asked
surprised .Kweiya pause. He seems to want to keep the old man who had helped it ." I do not
know too , Mom . Incidentally my hand was too light lifting ax can cut down a tree so
quickly , "said Kweiya .

Hearing the answer , believe it Kweiya mother . Meanwhile , Kweiya requested that his
mother prepare food that much . Apparently , Kweiya intends to invite the old man who ate
together at once introduced him to his mother .

"Mom , tomorrow please prepare a lot of food , " pleaded Kweiya .The next day , the mother
Kweiya cook enough food . Meanwhile , Kweiya want to make a surprise for her . When on
the way back to his cabin , he wrapped the old man with a cane tree complete with leaves .
Arriving home , the package is placed in front of the door . After that , he went into the house
and as if feeling very thirsty . He also asked his mother to fetch a cane to satisfy their thirst
."Mom , I'm thirsty . Bring me a cane in front of the door , "pleaded Kweiya .

Kweiya mother had obeyed his request . When the mother opened the package leaves of
sugarcane , he was very surprised to find an old man lying in a bundle . Instantly , she
screamed in terror as he ran into the hut ." Kweiya , who the old man ? Why he was in that
package ? "Asked her mother surprised .Kweiya smiled and reassured her .

" I'm sorry , ma'am , " said Kweiya . " I did not mean to scare her. Actually , that's an old man
who has helped me cut down trees in the forest . I beg she will accept it as a life partner ! "

Kweiya mother was silent . After thinking a moment , he finally accepted his request . Since
then , the old man lived with them . Kweiya and her mother did not feel lonely anymore .
A few years later , Kweiya mother gave birth to two boys and a girl from the marriage to the
old man . Kweiya third considers his brother as the younger brother . They live in harmony
and love each other . However , their fraternal relationship eventually became cracked
because two younger brothers envied Kweiya . They are jealous because Kweiya always
received special attention from their mothers .

One day , when their parents were into the garden , her siblings Kweiya swarmed by a mob .
Though annoyed , Kweiya not bear to repay her siblings . He prefers to hide in one corner of
the hut while spinning ropes of animal skin as much as possible . The spun yarn will be made
wings .

Meanwhile , Kweiya parents had just arrived from the garden . When knowing Kweiya was
not at home , the mother then asked the brothers Kweiya .

" Where are you going brother ? " Said the mother." Do not know ma'am , " answered the
second brother Kweiya simultaneously .

Both Kweiya brother is apparently afraid to tell the events that led to their fight Kweiya away
from home . However , their youngest brother who witnessed the incident tell their mother .
How sad to hear the story of the mother when her youngest daughter . He then yelling for
Kweiya to quickly return home . However , not Kweiya coming , but the sound of birds is
heard .

" Eek .. ek ... ek ... ek .. ! " so the bird sounds .The sound was turned voice Kweiya who have
inserted yarn spun on his armpit and then jump to the top of the ridge and then fly to the top
of one of the branches of trees in front of their house . Kweiya seems to have turned into a
bird that is very beautiful and colorful feathers . Seeing the amazing thing , the mother also
sobbed as she asked to Kweiya spun yarn .

" Kweiya , my son . Is there still a spun yarn for me ? " Said the mother ." The mother I paste
in the umbrella mat , " said Kweiya .

The mother immediately took it and then insert the yarn spun on his armpit . After turning
into a bird , he then pack - kepakkan wings and fly perched Kweiya following branches. That
said , the two birds are now known as the bird of paradise is seen conversing with their
chirping .

" Wong ... wong ... wong ... wong ... ! Ko ... ko ... kok ... ! Wo - Wik " they chirp so unknown
means .Since then, the male and female birds of paradise often arise in Fakfak , West Papua ,
with different colors . By Onin society , male birds of paradise feathers tend to be longer then
the LHA language called Siangga , while the female birds of paradise called Hanggam
Tombor .

Both Kweiya brother who witnessed the miraculous events can only surrender abandoned by
their mother and sister . They end up blaming each other so that they are throwing ash
furnace . Their faces became dark gray , gray , and there is also a red color . Instantly it all,
they were turned into a bird and then fly into the jungle to follow their mother and sister .
That is why , in the jungle more Fakfak met by a variety of birds that are less interesting than
the birds of paradise .***
Thus the story of the Origin of Birds of Paradise Fakfak , West Papua . The moral to be
learned from the story above is that the nature of envy against his own brother as the two
younger brothers Kweiya not merit , but it would be self-defeating .

***

Previously , in Wekaburi or now known as the Village Werabur , there is a small river where
the water is very clear . River water is the source of life for Wekaburi tribe who inhabited the
area. The unique thing in this place is the stilt houses owned by local residents built on the
river flow .

One time , residents will have a party Wekaburi tribe indigenous village . They immediately
held a variety of preparations such as building houses for the invited guests , preparing food ,
and so on . On the appointed day , the invited guests from various tribes such as Tribe
Kandami , Wettebosy , Sakarnawari , and arrived in Kampung Wekaburi Torembi . Among
the guests in attendance , there was a grandmother with granddaughter named Isosi .
Grandma was also accompanied by a dog .

When it was dark , custom event began. The show was initially went smoothly and very
festive . Variety of dance performed in front of the guests . Many of the guests who
participated gleefully dancing . At that moment , a dancer accidentally stepped on the tail of
the dog 's favorite grandmother who was fast asleep by the fire . No doubt , the dog was
barking loudly .

Seeing the incident , the grandmother became angry . He then brought his dog into a room
and tie loincloth on his body . After that , he came out , hugging her dog and then dancing
with other dancers . The old woman knew that his actions had violated customary .
According to custom rules , if there are people who do so will bring lightning , thunder , and
heavy rain accompanied . The grandmother was deliberately doing it because they want to
give punishment to those who have stepped on the dog .
Grandma was aware that perbutannya can create havoc . Therefore , the grandmother
immediately took fire butts and bamboo seruas hidden in order not to be seen by others .
Bamboo pieces that will be used as a torch . Furthermore , the grandmother took her grandson
to immediately get out of the village ." Come , my granddaughter. We soon leave the village ,
"asked the old woman ." Well , Grandma , " replied Isosi .

Lighting a torch to help her grandmother with grandchildren and his dog walked toward
Mount Ainusmuwasa through the path . But without them knowing it , a young man named
Asya follow their lead . Apparently , Asya is Isosi lover , grandmother grandson ." Wait ,
Grandma ," she cried . " May I come with you ? "

Knowing that the young man was a lover of his grandson , the grandmother did not mind .
After that , the grandmother group moved on . Not long after , they arrived at the summit of

Dark clouds began to cover the sky above the river upstream Wekaburi . A few moments
later , the lightning and thunder seen darting . Heavy rain finally began to fall .

Meanwhile , the residents and invited guests Wekaburi still busy partying . They do not
realize when trouble is looming . The longer , more heavy rain so there was a big flood . They
realized the danger when the water has risen to the floor of the house . Finally hit the panic
residents . They ran frantically about to save themselves . However unfortunate , it was too
late . The devastating floods that swept away everything .

The next day , the grandmother with Isosi and Asya down from the mountain to see the
events that happened last night . None of the remaining houses . The same fate happened to
the residents . They swept away many , even most of the other transformed into a frog and
crocodile . Meanwhile , Wekaburi River has turned into a lake called Telaga Wekaburi later .
Until now , the lake has become one of the attractions in the area Wondama Bay , West
Papua .

As a result of flood events that have swept the entire population made the grandmother feel
very satisfied . " That's the result of your actions ! You've stepped on my pet dog , "said the
grandmother .

The grandmother then marry Isosi with Asya in the hope that one day their grandchildren will
fill the empty Wekaburi it . After marriage , they then build a big house and a long -named
Aniobiaroi .

Several years later , gave birth to many children Isosi so the house was becoming
increasingly crowded . " Well , we 've packed the house , my wife . This house should we
view again , "said Asya . " True , Kakanda . This house should we extend and enlarge again .
"Replied Isosi agree .

Aniobiaroi home finally connected again so getting bigger and longer . The house was then
given the name Manupapami . Several years later , the house was again crowded . Children as
well as their daughter continued to have many offspring . So , Asya also took the decision to
connect Aniobiroi home . The house was then given the name Yobari .

So forth , their house is still not able to accommodate the whole family . Therefore , they
connect the house up to four times that of each house named Sonesyari and Ketarana .
Although it has been four times jointed , their house still crowded. Finally , they decided to
find a new place for some residents and build a house for every family .

That said , Asya and Isosi offspring out of the house later became the Manupapami Wettebosi
rate , while the family members were out of the house into tribal Wekaburi Yobari . The
family members are out of the house and Ketarana Sonesyari known as Torembi tribe who
built a house on the water . Hence, the new village where they lived is called Kampung
Werabur , which means village located on the water .***

Thus the story of The Origin of Lake Wekaburi Wondama Bay , West Papua . The moral to
be learned from the story above is that the case no matter how small can bring a bigger
problem . Just because a dog belonging to a grandmother stepping , resident Wekaburi must
accept the consequent floods washed away . Therefore , we must always be careful not to
disturb other people , either intentionally or unintentionally .

Because of her newfound thirst , Jake Tarub stepped toward the lake . The lake is located in

will not be able to return to heaven ," muttered Jake Tarub . Endowed with a smile when
imagining the angel that he stole her clothes would be willing to be his wife .

With careful Tarub Jake walked over to the pile of clothes . He walked very slowly . If the
angel was aware of his presence , of all plans will be thrown . Jake Tarub chose a red shirt .
After work, Jake Tarub hurry slipped behind the bush .

Suddenly a man from the angel said , " Let's go home now . It was late afternoon " . " Yeah
right . We'd better go home now before the sun goes down , "added another . The angel came
out of the lake and they were each wearing .

" Where are my clothes ? " , Shouted one angel . " Who took my shirt off ? " , He asked in a
trembling voice to cry . " Where did you put your clothes Nawangwulan ? " , Asked an angel
to him . " Here . Same with your clothes .. " , Nawangwulan replied tearfully . He looked
very panicked . Without her , how could he go home to Heaven . Moreover, the shawl she
wore to fly go missing as well .

Because Nawangwulan not find her , he immediately went back to Lake Toyawening . Her
other friends to help find clothes Nawangwulan . Their efforts futile because the clothes are
taken home Nawangwulan Jake Tarub to his house .
Finally an angel said " Nawangwulan , forgive us . We had to get home to heaven and leave
you here . It was late afternoon " . Nawangwulan can not do anything . He could only nod
and waved to six friends who fly slowly leaves Lake Toyawening . " Maybe it's my destiny to
be the inhabitants of the earth " , he thought Nawangwulan tears .

Nawangwulan look desperate . Suddenly he unconsciously saying " Whoever can give me I'll
make your clothes when she is a woman , but when he was a boy I'll make my husband " .
Jake Tarub who had been noticed Nawangwulan gestures of happy smiling behind a tree . "
At last my dream come true " , he thought .Jake Tarub out of hiding and walking towards the
lake . He brought suit his late mother when she took home earlier . Jake Tarub immediately
put clothes he was carrying on a large rock and said " I'm Jake Tarub . I brought clothes that
you need. Take it and use it immediately . It was almost evening " .

Jake Tarub left Nawangwulan and waited behind a large tree where he was hiding . Soon
Nawangwulan came to see him . " I Nawangwulan . I'm an angel from heaven who can not go
back there because my dress is gone, " said Nawangwulan introduce myself . He meets the
last word he said . Without doubt Jake Tarub Nawangwulan willing to accept as her husband .

Day by day , month turned into months , do not feel Jake Tarub household and Nawangwulan
been blessed with a daughter named Nawangsih . No one suspected the villagers who actually
Nawangwulan . Jake Tarub recognizes her as the girl who comes from a village far from the
village .

Since her marriage to Nawangwulan , Jake Tarub feel very happy . However there is one
thing on his mind over the years. Jake Tarub wonder why they seem to rice in the barn is not
reduced even if cooked every day . Long long pile of rice was increasing . Harvest acquired
regularly make their barns barely contain it fit again .

On one morning , Nawangwulan about to wash into the river . He entrusts Nawangsih on Jake
Tarub . Nawangwulan also warned him not to open the lid is steamers rice was cooking .

While I was busy playing with Nawangsih who was one year old , Jake Tarub remembered
rice being cooked his wife. Because it was already old , Jake Tarub want to see if the rice is
cooked . Jake Tarub unwittingly opened the rice steamer . He forgot the message
Nawangwulan .

How shocked by Jake Tarub see the steamer . Nawangwulan just cook rice sprig . He
immediately thought of their rice inventories are gradually becoming more common . The
question has been answered so far.

Nawangwulan who apparently had arrived at home staring angrily to her husband in the
kitchen door . " Why are you breaking my message Mas ? " , He asked angrily . Jake Tarub
could not answer . He was silent . " Gone are kesaktianku to change a sprig of paddy into rice
basket " , continued Nawangwulan . " From now on I have to pound rice cook for us . Mas
should therefore provide a mortar for me " .Jake Tarub regretted his actions . But what can I
say , it was too late . From that day Nawangwulan always pounding rice to be cooked . Begin
to look their grain stocks increasingly depleted . Even now it is remaining rice in the bottom
of the barn .
As usual that morning Nawangwulan to the barn which is located in the backyard to take rice
. When the rod is pulling rice straw is left a bit of it , Nawangwulan felt his hand holding
something soft . Out of curiosity , Nawangwulan continue to draw the object . Nawangwulan
instantly pale face stared recently successfully achieved . Angel dress and red shawl .. ! !

Various feelings raged in his heart . Nawangwulan felt himself deceived by Jake Tarub which
has now become her husband . He apparently did not expect people who stole his heart is
Jake Tarub . Soon the desire that never goes out of his heart became so strong .
Nawangwulan wanted to go home , heaven .Tarub afternoon when Jake returned to his home
, he did not find Nawangsih Nawangwulan and their children . Jake Tarub looking
Nawangwulan he shouted , which was nevertheless sought to answer . The sun was already
sinking. Jake Tarub suddenly standing in the yard saw something floating towards him . He
watched for a moment .

Jake Tarub stunned . A few moments later he turned he saw was recognized that holding
Nawangwulan Nawangsih . Nawangwulan looks very pretty with fairy outfit complete with a
shawl . Jake Tarub felt himself shaking . He did not think that Nawangwulan rediscovered
bidadarinya clothes . This means that the secret has been uncovered .

" How could you do this to me Jake Tarub ? " , Nawangwulan asked in a sad tone . " I'm
sorry Nawangwulan " , the only words that could be spoken Jake Tarub . He looks very sorry
. Nawangwulan can feel how Jake Tarub helpless in front of him .

"Now you have to bear the consequences of your actions Tarub Jake " , said Nawangwulan . "
I will go back to heaven because I am a real angel. I do not belong here " , he continued . Jake
Tarub not answer . He resigned Nawangwulan decision .

"You have to take care of themselves Nawangsih . From this moment we are not married
anymore , "said Nawangwulan firmly . He was handed over to hug Jake Tarub Nawangsih .
The little boy was still fast asleep . He did not realize that soon she would leave him .

" Whatever your fault me Jake Tarub , Nawangsih still my son. If he wants to see me one day
, burn the rice straw , then I 'll go down to see him , " said Nawangwulan face staring
Nawangsih . " Only one condition, you should not be together Nawangsih when I see him .
Let him alone near the rice straw is burned , "continued Nawangwulan .

Jake Tarub with great sadness hold . He wanted to look tough . After Jake Tarub stating its
ability not to meet again with Nawangwulan , the bidadaripun flew himself and Nawangsih .

unforgivable mistake . Nothing else he can do right now than treating Nawangsih well as
