Long time ago in Girah village lived an old woman. Her name was Calonarang. She was a powerful women and she had magical powers. Calonarang had a daughter named Ratna Mangali who was very beautiful. Yet, nobody wanted to marry her because they were afraid of her mother, who was known as a bad witch. One day Calonarang has over reacted and the people were worried about it. People asked the King about the problem and then the King told about it to Sri Bradah who was the elder of the village. On their meeting, Sri Bradah had an idea to married his student named Bahula to Ratna Mangali, and after that he could steal Calonarang’s book and then he would defeat her, because the book was her secret powers.

So, Sri Bradah meets Bahula to talk about his plan.

Bradah             : Good evening my son, Bahula
Bahula             : hey, good evening miss. What is going on?
Bradah             : Bahula, do you know Calonarang?
Bahula             : yeah of course I know, everybody knows about her
Bradah             : The king told me that she’s over reacted now. We have to defeat her.
Bahula             : But how???
Bradah             : yesterday, I talked with the king. We have a plan that you should get married         

to her daughter. So we can steal her secret book.
Bahula             : oh ya, that’s a great plan. But Calonarang’s daughter doesn’t know me, how

do I get her attention?
Bradah             : you just need to go to the river and meet her there, she always washes her

clothes there every morning,
Bahula             : that’s a good idea, when do I do it?
Bradah             : what about tomorrow morning. We have to do it immediately before the

situation gets worse.
Bahula             : okay, I’ll go to the river to fish tomorrow morning, and there I will meet

‘hmmmmm who’s her name?
Bradah             : Ratna Mangali,!!!
Bahula             : yeahh,, Ratna Mangali,,
Bradah             : please do a good job!

The next day Bahula goes to the river where Ratna always does washing clothes and her sarongs, Bahula is very surprised to see how beautiful Ratna Mangali is.

Ratna               : nanana…….hmmm….
