Once upon a time, there was a young man named Jaka Tarub. He lived in a small village that had a beautiful lake. He usually walked around there.
One day, seven fairies went down to the earth to take a bath at a lake. They played with the pure water happily. One of them was Nawang Wulan. She had a very beautiful face. When they were taking a bath, Jaka Tarub peeped from the bush. He looked at Nawang Wulan and fell in love with her. He decided to take her shawl which was lying near the lake.
After the seven fairies had taken a bath, they took their shawl to go back to the heaven. How surprised Nawang Wulan was when she knew that her shawl had lost. It meant that she could not go back to the heaven. Jaka Tarub saw her and offered her to live in his house for a while. Nawang Wulan agreed with him.
Few weeks later, he married Nawang Wulan. She became a good wife for Jaka Tarub. They had a beautiful baby named Nawangsih. They loved her very much.
One afternoon, Nawang Wulan saw her shawl lied down in Jaka Tarub’s box. She was very shocked. Finally, she knew that Jaka Tarub had stolen her shawl in order to be able to marry her. She decided to leave Jaka Tarub and her baby. She went back to the heaven.
