Sangkuriang
Pada jaman dahulu, di
Jawa Barat hiduplah seorang janda yang bernama Dayang Sumbi. Ia mempunyai
seorang anak laki-laki yang bernama Sangkuriang.
Suatu hari Sangkuriang
diusir Dayang Sumbi dari rumah karena telah berbuat satu kesalahan. Setelah
kejadian itu, Dayang Sumbi menyesali perbuatannya. Ia berdoa setiap hari, dan
meminta agar suatu hari dapat bertemu dengan anaknya kembali. Tuhan mengabulkan
doanya dengan memberinya kecantikan abadi dan usia muda selamanya.
Setelah lama Sangkuriang
mengembara, akhirnya ia ingin untuk pulang ke rumahnya. Sesampainya di sana,
dia sangat terkejut, ia terkejut sekali karena melihat seorang wanita yang
sangat cantik yaitu Dayang Sumbi. Sangkuriang langsung melamarnya. Akhirnya
lamaran Sangkuriang diterima oleh Dayang Sumbi, dan sepakat akan menikah.
Pada suatu hari alangkah
terkejutnya Dayang Sumbi, karena ia melihat ada bekas luka. Bekas luka tersebut
mirip dengan bekas luka anaknya. Setelah bertanya kepada Sangkuriang, Dayang
Sumbi bertambah tekejut, karena ternyata benar bahwa calon suaminya tersebut
adalah anaknya sendiri.
Dayang Sumbi sangat
bingung sekali, karena dia tidak mungkin menikah dengan anaknya sendiri. Dayang
Sumbi mencoba berbicara kepada Sangkuriang, supaya Sangkuriang membatalkan
rencana pernikahan mereka. Permintaan Dayang Sumbi tersebut tidak disetujui
Sangkuriang.
Setiap hari Dayang Sumbi
berpikir bagaimana cara agar pernikahan mereka batal. Setelah berpikir,
akhirnya Dayang Sumbi menemukan cara terbaik. Dia mengajukan dua buah syarat
kepada Sangkuriang. Apabila Sangkuriang dapat memenuhi kedua syarat tersebut,
maka Dayang Sumbi mau dijadikan istri, tetapi sebaliknya jika gagal maka
pernikahan itu akan dibatalkan. Syarat yang pertama Dayang Sumbi ingin sungai
Citarum dibendung. Dan yang kedua meminta Sangkuriang untuk membuat sampan yang
besar untuk. Kedua syarat itu harus selesai sebelum matahari terbit.
Sangkuriang menyanggupi
kedua permintaan Dayang Sumbi tersebut, dan berjanji akan menyelesaikannya
sebelum matahri terbit Dengan kekuatannya, Sangkuriang lalu mengerahkan
teman-temannya bangsa jin untuk membantu menyelesaikan tugasnya tersebut.
Diam-diam, Dayang Sumbi mengintip hasil kerja dari Sangkuriang. Betapa
terkejutnya dia, karena Sangkuriang hampir menyelesaikan semua syarat yang
diberikan Dayang Sumbi sebelum matahari terbit.
Dayang Sumbi lalu
meminta bantuan masyarakat sekitar untuk menggelar kain sutera berwarna merah
di sebelah timur. Ketika melihat warna memerah di timur kota, Sangkuriang
mengira kalau hari sudah menjelang pagi. Sangkuriang langsung menghentikan
pekerjaannya dan merasa tidak dapat memenuhi syarat yang telah diajukan oleh
Dayang Sumbi.
Dengan rasa jengkel dan
kecewa, Sangkuriang lalu menjebol bendungan yang telah dibuatnya. Sangkuriang
juga menendang sampan besar yang telah dibuatnya. Sampan itu melayang dan jatuh
tertelungkup, lalu menjadi sebuah gunung yang bernama Tangkuban Perahu.

pun. Ia terbang berputar-putar. Akhirnya ia melihat sebuah botol di luar rumah.
Elang terbang turun ke botol itu. Di sana ada sedikit air di dasar botol. Elang
memasukkan kepalanya ke dalam botol tetapi ia tidak menggapai air itu. Ia
memanjat ke atas botol. Ia memasukkan lagi kepalanya ke dalam botol
tetapi paruhnya tidak bisa mencapai air itu.
Kemudian ia mencari akal. Elang itu terbang tinggi dan kemudian turun menuju ke botol untuk memecahkannya dengan paruhnya tetapi botol itu amat kuat. Ia tidak dapat memecahkannya. Elang itu keluar terbang kearah botol kemudian ia menabrakkan sayapnya. Ia mencoba memecahkannya, agar airnya akan keluar membasahi lantai. Tetapi botol itu amat kuat. Elang itu sangat lelah bila harus terbang lebih jauh lagi.

Raja yang Egois
Dahulu kala, ada sebuah taman yang sangat luas dan indah, milik
seorang raksasa.
Setiap siang, anak-anak masuk ke dalam taman itu
untuk bermain dan mendengarkan burung-burung berkicau merdu dari
pohon-pohon.
Raksasa sedang pergi selama 5 tahun mengunjungi keluarganya di
negeri lain. Sekarang, dia kembali ke rumahnya, sebuah rumah yang sangat besar
dengan taman di depannya. Saat tiba di taman, ia melihat anak-anak sedang
bermain disana. Raksasa lalu memarahi mereka, “Apa yang kalian lakukan disini?
Pergi ! Ini taman milikku!” Anak-anak yang ketakutan berlari meninggalkan
taman itu.
Karena tidak ingin ada orang lain yang ikut menikmati keindahan
tamannya lagi, raksasa lalu membangun tembok yang tinggi mengelilingi taman
itu, dan memajang tulisan “Yang masuk tanpa ijin akan dihukum !” Anak-anak
kehilangan taman itu. Sesekali mereka memanjat dan melongok melewati tembok
yang tinggi, memandangi taman itu dan dengan sedihnya membicarakan
permainan-permainan yang dulu mereka lakukan disana.
Hari demi hari berlalu. Bunga-bunga di taman itu tidak lagi
bermekaran. Burung-burung tidak lagi berkicau dan pohon-pohon berhenti berbuah.
Raksasa tidak mengerti mengapa taman miliknya menjadi tidak indah lagi.
Pada suatu pagi, raksasa mendengar suara musik yang mengalun.
Ternyata itu adalah suara kicauan burung di luar jendelanya. Sudah lama ia
tidak mendengar burung berkicau.
Raksasa mendekat ke jendela dan mendengarkan kicauan burung itu
dengan sedih. “Apa yang terjadi dengan tamanku? Aku berharap tamanku bisa indah
seperti dulu, dengan burung-burung yang berkicau merdu.” Kata raksasa.
Burung itu terbang mendekati raksasa dan berkata “Tamanmu tidak akan sama
lagi tanpa kehadiran anak-anak itu. Tamanmu merindukan gelak tawa dan suara
anak-anak yang bergembira. Pohon, bunga-bunga, dan para burung menginginkan
kehadiran anak-anak yang menjadikan tempat ini kembali penuh keceriaan.” Kata
burung itu.
Raksasa menyadari kesalahannya. Selama ini ia terlalu egois, dan
akibatnya ia hidup sendirian dan merasa kesepian. Raksasa pun mengambil palu
besar dan menghancurkan tembok yang mengelilingi tamannya. Dibuangnya tulisan
peringatan, dan dipanggilnya anak-anak untuk bermain di taman. Awalnya
anak-anak merasa takut. Akan tetapi ketika mereka melihat wajah raksasa yang
sekarang menjadi ramah, mereka mengikutinya ke taman untuk bermain disana.
Lagipula, anak-anak itu juga rindu bermain di taman itu.
Taman milik raksasa itu pun kembali penuh dengan anak-anak yang
bermain gembira. Bunga-bunga pun kembali bermekaran. Beserta burung-burung yang
berkicau dengan merdu.
Raksasa berkata kepada anak-anak, “Sekarang, tamanku adalah taman
milik kalian juga.” Sekarang raksasa tidak hanya memiliki sebuah taman
yang indah, tetapi ia juga memiliki banyak teman-teman kecil yang
ceria.
