Keong Mas (The Golden Snail)

Prince Raden Putra and Dewi Limaran were husband and wife. They lived in a palace. Prince
Raden Putra's father was the king of the kingdom.

One day, Dewi Limaran was walking around in the palace garden. Suddenly she saw a snail.
It was ugly and disgusting. "Yuck!" said Dewi Limaran and then she threw it away into a
river. She did not know that the snail was actually an old and powerful witch. She could
transform herself into anything. The witch was angry to Dewi Limaran. The witch put a spell
on her and changed her into a golden snail. The witch then threw it away into the river.
The golden snail was drifting away in the river and got caught into a net. An old woman was
fishing and used her net to catch some fish. She was surprised to see a golden snail in her net.
She took it and brought it home.

When the old woman woke up in the morning, she was surprised that the house was in good
condition. The floor was mopped. And she also had food on the table. She was thinking very
hard. "Who did this to me? The person is very kind." It happened again and again every
morning. The old woman was very curious. One night she decided to stay up late. She was
peeping from her room to know who cooked for her. Then, she could not believe what she
saw. The golden snail she caught in the river turned into a beautiful woman. The old woman
approached her. "Who are you, young girl?" "I am Dewi Limaran, Ma'am. A witch cursed
me. I can change back as a human only at night," explained Dewi Limaran. "The spell can be
broken if I hear the melody from the holly gamelan," continued Dewi Limaran. The old
woman then rushed to the palace. She talked to Prince Raden Putra about her wife. Prince
Raden Putra was so happy. He had been looking for his wife everywhere.

He then prayed and meditated. He asked the Gods to give him the holy gamelan. He wanted
to break the witch's spell. After several days praying and meditating, finally Gods granted his
wish. He immediately brought the holly gamelan to the old woman's house. He played it
beautifully. And then amazingly the golden snail turned into the beautiful Dewi Limaran.

The couple was so happy that they could be together again. They also thanked the old woman
for her kindness. As a return, they asked her to stay in the palace.
