Simak Cerita Petualangan Cindelaras dan Ayam Ajaibnya Bersama Riri

Raden Putra was the king of the Jenggala kingdom, who had a beautiful queen and concubine. Unlike the queen, the concubine had bad personalities. Because she was jealous of the queen, she planned to make the queen leave the palace to make herself a new queen.

The concubine asked the palace healer to help her execute her plan. They slandered the queen that she wanted to poison the king. The king, who was instigated, was furious. He expelled the queen to a jungle as a punishment. There was one condition that the king did not know; the queen was pregnant.

After several months lived in the jungle, the queen gave birth to a healthy baby boy, namely Cindelaras. Growing up as a nice and handsome man, he also loved to help her mother to collect some firewoods. One day in the forest, an eagle dropped an egg. He took the egg and carefully took care of it.

The egg hatched into a chick, and then it became a strong rooster that had magical skills. It was very powerful and skillful in fighting with other roosters and could sing. The rooster sang a song about his master and his father, Raden Putra. "My master is Cindelaras. He lives in the jungle. His father is a king. His name is Raden Putra." Hearing this every day, Cindelaras asked her mother about it. When his mother told him the whole story, Cindelaras was very surprised. He decided to go to the palace to meet the king, his father.

Coincidentally, the news of the rooster's skills in fighting reached the palace. The king invited Cindelaras to the palace to fight Cindelaras's rooster with the king's rooster. But, there was a bet. If Cindelaras's rooster won the fight, he would get all king's jewelry. However, if Cindelaras's rooster lost, he would be punished in jail. The two roosters fought bravely. In just a few minutes, Cindelaras's rooster won the fight! Then, the rooster sang the song.

The king was surprised, and he asked who Cindelaras was. He then told the king about her mother living in the jungle. Later, the palace healer admitted his mistake. He said that the queen was innocent. She never tried to kill the king. The king was very angry. He ordered the concubine to be sent to jail. The king immediately went to the jungle to pick up his wife. He apologized for sending her to the jungle and made her the queen again.
