The tale of the seven princesses

Long ago, in the Heavenly Kingdom, there were seven princesses. Some of their names are taken from the names of flowers. Mawar, Dahlia, Cempaka, Tanjung, Kenanga, Cendana and the youngest Melati. The daughters were all beautiful. However, the most beautiful and brave is the youngest, Melati. He likes going on adventures to the Green Forest, a jungle that is often traversed by humans. Even though her father had warned her many times, "Melati, my child, I know you really like going to the Green Forest. But it's risky there, son.

Lots of people wandering around. "But Melati always said, "But father, those humans never saw me. I'm good at hiding between bushes and trees. Just calm down, okay? "Hearing this, her father again forbade her, "No, Melati... don't go alone to the Green Forest. " Melati answered very forcefully, "Hhhh... okay Dad...", but in her heart she said, "But that means if I go together, it's okay, right? ”

Melati is not naughty, she just has a great sense of curiosity. So, he also disobeyed his father's advice. Melati then invited all her older siblings to go to Rimba Hijau. "Melati, I'm scared..." said her sister Mawar, "Yes, I'm scared too. What if we looked human? "said Dahlia, who was starting to get worried too.

However, Melati succeeded in giving her brothers confidence that everything would be fine, "It's okay, my brothers... don't worry... we're safe here. Let's play at the waterfall! ” So some of the heavenly princesses played at the waterfall. Because they were so engrossed in playing, they didn't notice that someone was watching from too far away. The man was a king's son who was lost in the jungle. he was shocked to see 7 beautiful princesses in the jungle. "Hah? Are my eyes wrong? I saw 6 people, no, 7 beautiful girls around the waterfall. Who are they? Oh, how beautiful. Ah, it's better if I approach it slowly. the prince said silently.

In the end the prince also approached the girls, "Beautiful princesses, I am the Prince of a foreign country. Who are you, and why are you here? "Several princesses who were having fun playing were shocked by the presence of the prince. They immediately ran scattering in all directions. See all the princesses running away, the prince also shouted, "Don't be afraid! Don't go! I just want to make friends. Hey wait! Don't go!! ”

The prince tried to chase several princesses, but they were very fast. Anxiously, several princesses prepared to fly back to heaven. Except for Melati who stumbled out of the waterfall pool, "Oh, wait for me sis, my cloth, my shoes, oh wait...! ”
Oh, because Melati was swimming, she didn't hear the prince's presence. So he also understood the danger too late! The prince finally tried to approach Melati, "Ah, there is still one princess left behind. Maybe I can be friends with them, I want to know where they come from. Daughter! ”

Oh, luckily Melati managed to fly away from the prince before the prince caught her. However, because he was in a hurry, when he was flying, his shoes came off! "Oh my shoes, ah but the main thing is that I'm safe. In fact, you are right, this jungle is risky. I should have obeyed father... huhuhu.. I'm sorry father... I'm sorry brothers... huhuhu” Jasmine flew away while sobbing.

"Ah, it's a shame I didn't succeed in catching the last angel. But it doesn't matter, at least I succeeded in catching the shoe that had fallen off earlier. Wow, these shoes are beautiful! As if embroidered with gold thread. Very soft. The prince said.

Because it was very beautiful and soft, the shoe slipped from the prince's grasp and fell on the grass. Suddenly, the shoe turned into a very beautiful flower. Well, this beautiful flower was given the name shoe flower because it is said to have come from the shoes of Jasmine, the princess of Khayangan.
