King: what? You said it is only a glass of water as usual, huh? How dare you! It is poison. You want to kill me, don’t you? By this I don’t want to see your face again in this palace. Go now! Never come back again!

The king was angry. He sent the queen to a jungle. It is the punishment for her. 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. She named him Cindelaras. He grew up as a nice, healthy, and handsome young man. One day, while Cindelaras helped her mother to collect some fire woods, 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. The rooster had a magical skill. It was very powerful and skillful in fighting with other roosters. Besides that, the rooster could also sing. The song was about Cindelaras and his father, Raden Putra. 

“My master is Cindelaras. He lives in the jungle. His father is a king. His name is Raden Putra.”

The rooster often sang the song.

When Cindelaras first heard that song, he ignored it. However, he could not stand it anymore. He talked to his mother about it. His mother told him the whole story.

Cindelaras: mom, I want to ask why my rooster always sings as if I were the son of the king of this palace. Tell me something, mom. It’s disgusting. It disturbs me, mom.

Queen: alright son, this is the exact time to tell you the truth. You, Cindelaras, are the son of the king, Raden Putra, the king of this palace.

Cindelaras: what?? Is that true, mom?

Cindelaras was very surprised. He decided to go to the palace to meet the king, his father. Cindelaras also brought his rooster to go to the palace.

On the way to go there, he met some people. They asked him to fight his rooster with their roosters. Cindelaras’ rooster won the fight. He won again and again. King Raden Putra heard the news about the great Cindelaras' rooster. So, he invited Cindelaras to the palace to fight his rooster with the king’s rooster.

King: welcome to this palace, kid! I heard so many news about you and your rooster from my folk. I become anxious how great your rooster is. Let’s fight that with my rooster.

Cindelaras: alright king, but with one condition.

King: what is the condition?

Cindelaras: you make a bet, king.

King: okay, if your rooster wins, you will get the precious things from me. But if your rooster loses, you will get punishment from me.

Cindelaras: alright I agree with that. Let’s fight!

The two roosters fought bravely. In just a few minutes, Cindelaras’ rooster won the fight! Then, the rooster sang the song.

“My master is Cindelaras. He lives in the jungle. His father is a king. His name is Raden Putra.”

The rooster sang the song.

King: wait…it can sing, can’t it? How can it be? Then why did it say my name? tell me why kid?

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. ***
