Raden Putra was the king of the Jenggala Kingdom. He married two beautiful women, a kind queen and a pretty lovely mistress. But, the mistress was envy against the queen. She planned something evil to the queen. In fact she planned to take her place as the queen.

 The mistress then conspired with a palace healer. She pretended to be seriously sick. The healer said that there was someone who placed poison in the drink of the mistress.

 "The person actually was the queen," said the healer.

The king was very angry hearing the explanation of the palace healer.

He ordered guards to exile the queen to the forest and kill her. The guards immediately brought the pregnant queen to the jungle.

But, thankfully, those guards love their queen and wisely let her alive in the jungle. Apparently they knew the bad intention of the mistress for the queen.

“Don’t worry Your Highness, we will tell the king that we have killed you," said the guards. To deceive the king, one of the guards smeared his sword with rabbit blood. After that they left the queen and back to the palace. The king was satisfied hearing the guards reported if they had killed the queen.

After several months living in the forest, the queen gave birth to a baby boy who she then named him Cindelaras. Cindelaras grew into a smart and handsome child. He had many animal friends in the forest.

One day, when Cindelaras was playing, a hawk dropped an egg.

"Hmm, this hawk is very kind," Cindelaras thought.

 After 3 weeks, the egg hatched. Cindelaras maintained his chick industriously until it grew into a good and strong cock. But there was one peculiarity. The crowing sound of the cock was really amazing!

"Cock-a-doodle-doo…! My master is Cindelaras, he lives in the forest in the coconut leaves roofed hut, his father is Raden Putra…"

Cindelaras was really amazed hearing the crowing of his cock and immediately showed to his mother. The queen then told Cindelaras how they got there in the forest. Knowing the reason why they were living in the forest for all this time, Cindelaras decided to go to the palace and explain the evil things done by the mistress to his mother.

In the middle of his trip, Cindelaras saw people doing cock fight. One of the cock fighters came closer to him and dare if he would pit his cock with his.

Cindelaras agreed. In a short time, Cindelaras’ cock won over his opponent. After several times pitted, Cindelaras’ cock never lost. He was really strong.

The news about Cindelaras’ cock spread fast over the kingdom. Raden Putra heard the news. He ordered his men to invite Cindelaras.

Cindelaras then appeared before the king and greeted him in a well-mannered way. "This child is handsome and smart, apparently he’s not a commoner," thought Raden Putra.

Raden Putra challenged Cindelaras to pit their cocks on one condition. If Cindelaras’ cock lost then he must be beheaded, but if his cock won then half of the king’s wealth will be given up to Cindelaras.

Two cocks started to fight courageously. But in a short time, Cindelaras’ cock succeeded in conquering the King’s cock. The cheering people cheered on Cindelaras and his cock.

"Okay I’m lost, and I will keep my promise,” said Raden Putra, “But, who are you anyway, young boy?” asked the king.

Cindelaras bowed to his cock and whispered something. Suddenly the cock crowed.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo…! My master is Cindelaras, he lives in the forest in the coconut leaves roofed hut, his father is Raden Putra…" The cock crowed repeatedly.

Raden Putra surprised hearing the crowing of the Cindelaras’cock.

"Is it true?" the king asked curiously.

“Yes it is true Your Highness,” answered Cindelaras.

Along with that, one of the guards immediately appear before the king and told how all the actual incidents happened to the queen.

"I carried out the mistake," said King Raden Putra, "I will punish my mistress," he continued angrily. Instantly he ordered the guards to exile the mistress to the forest.

Raden Putra hugged his son and apologized for everything he had done to him and the queen. Together they picked up the queen to the forest and gathered again in the palace.
