THE GOLDEN EGGS
Long time ago a remote village, in central China, was inhabited mainly with farmers and
hunters.
One day, a poor farmer lost his entire livestock to flood. He prayed hard to God for help or his
family would die of starvation.
Few days later an old man, with long grey beard, passed by his house took pity on him. He
gave him a goose and said ″I don’t have any expensive thing to give you and hope this goose will help
you to ease your hardship″.
A week later to his most surprise the farmer found an egg in his yard. This was not an ordinary
egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly overcome with joy. Thereafter, the livelihood had rapidly
improved but the farmer had forgotten his earlier hardship. He became lazy, arrogant and spendthrift.

patient and slaughtered his goose thinking there were plenty of golden eggs inside its stomach.
Though the very much regretted for his foolishness, it’s already too late.

Once upon a time, on the slopes of a mountain in Jambi province, there lived a poor mother and her three daughters. For their
living the mother and the youngest daughter had to work hard all day long, while the first and second daughters were lazy and did
nothing.

One day, mother got such a severe pain that she could not move from bed. Then, the daughters called a shaman. “Sir, please
help us heal our mother,” said the daughters. The shaman said, “Based on my insight, your mom must be treated by a special flower
that grows at the top of the mountain. Then, it must be boiled in a magical pot kept in a dark deep cave guarded by a large mighty
serpent named N’daung.” “But, according to the tale, no one could ever go back home save as the snake would swallow them whole,”
warned the Shaman. Hearing that, no one dared to go, except for the youngest daughter.

“I will go to the top of the mountain to get them from the snake,” said the youngest daughter bravely. “Oh, we all will pray for
you, sister,” uttered the first and the second daughters in relief. “You really have a pure soul. Go and get them, girl. But, you have to be
really careful. I will take care of your mother here,” said the shaman. Without waiting any longer, the youngest daughter went to the
mountain. After three days of walking, she finally reached the mountain peak. “Ah, that’s the flower. I have to go really quick,” said the
youngest daughter. It was just in front of the cave door. When she grabbed it and was about to put it inside her bag, she heard a very
loud snake hiss. Of course, she was scared to death.

“Hiss... You are so brave to come to this place. Did you just steal something from my place? You’ll surely be a perfect
breakfast. You have a nice scent, so appetizing!” hissed the snake horribly. “O magic snake, please, pardon me. I certainly don’t dare
to bother you, but my mom is seriously ill. I am here to beg for only one flower and borrow your magic pot to treat my mom,” the
youngest daughter fell on her knees while crying.

Unexpectedly, the snake started to shed tears, “What a nice girl. You risk yourself coming here to treat your mom.” “That’s
right, o snake. I love her so much and I am begging for your help,” she still could not stop her tears. “Alright, I will let you bring the
flower and lend you my magic pot with only one condition. You have to promise to return here as your mother gets better and stay here
in this cave with me,” said N’daung snake. Because she loves her mother, the youngest daughter nodded in an agreement, “Thank
you, o magic snake. I will certainly return to fulfill my promise.” The youngest daughter then went back home, gave the flower and the
magic pot to the shaman, and immediately went back to the mountain. Even though deep in her heart, she did not really want to go
back.

Just then, the youngest daughter returned to the top of the mountain in the middle of the night. To her surprise, she did not
meet N’daung snake but a well-built man. “Don’t be surprised. I am Prince Abdul Rahman Alamsyah. I was cursed by my uncle and
became a snake. Every night I will return to my true form as a human and return to be a snake as the sun rises,” said the prince.
Meanwhile, when the mother heard the story of the youngest daughter, she wanted to see her. She asked her other childern to go to
the top of the mountain.

In the middle of the night, the three of them could finally reach the top of the mountain. How surprised they were to see the
youngest daughter with a very handsome man. The youngest daughter was so happy to see her family and introduced them to the
prince. The youngest daughter told them the story of the prince. Feeling jealous, while all of the people already fell asleep, the first and
second daughters took the prince’s snake skin, burned it all, and put the ash next to the youngest daughter.
 On the following day, when the prince could not find his snake skin but some ash next to the youngest daughter, he thanked
her. He was so happy because the curse was gone forever as the snake skin was burned. Finally, the youngest daughter and the
prince were married and returned back to the kingdom. They lived happily ever after.
