Hay everyone..😄
I will retell the legend about "Sendang Seni" Do you want to know a short story? let's read now.
Once upon a time, Sunan Kalijaga planned to visit Sunan Muria in Pati, Central Java. He asked his friend, Ki Rangga, to accompany him to go to Sunan Muria's house. Ki Rangga also asked several servants to join them to carry their luggage. And they began to their journey to Sunan Muria's house. Several hours later, Ki Rangga and his servents felt tired and thirsty.
“Huffh, what a hard day", murmured Ki Rangga.
"Is there anything wrong, Ki Rangga?" Asked Sunan Kalijaga.
"Are we still far from Sunan Muria’s house?” Asked Ki Rangga to Sunan Kalijaga.
“We are already in Kadipaten Pati Pesantenan. We will arrive at Sunan Muria’s house shortly. Please be patient.” Sunan Kalijaga replied.
Ki Rangga was embarrassed to walk together with Sunan Kalijaga. It is because Sunan Kalijaga did not even look tired or thirsty. Whan the time of Zuhur pray (noon pray) came, Sunan Kalijaga asked Ki Rangga and his servants to take a rest under a big tree. Sunan Kalijaga also asked them to take 'wudu' to pray. But there was no water there for them to clean up or wudu. Ki Rangga was confused.
“I don’t see any water nearby. Where should we take 'wudu'?” Ki Rangga asked.
Sunan Kalijaga only smiled and said, “We shall pray to Allah SWT for water. Now you must guard this big tree, because it may bring water to us. But promise me that you must inform me when the water comes out. I will be behind that hill.”
Ki Rangga promised Sunan Kalijaga to inform him when water came out. So Sunan Kalijaga went behind the hill and Ki Rangga with his servants sat under the big tree. They quickly fell asleep.
Suddenly water came out of the big tree. Ki Rangga and his servants became wet. They woke up. They were very happy to see the water because they were very tired and thirsty. They drank and played in the water. Ki Rangga forgot his promise to inform Sunan Kalijaga when the water came out.
Behind the hill, Sunan Kalijaga was worried. So he went to the big tree. He was surprised to see Ki Rangga and his servants were playing in the water.“You forgot my massage to inform me when the water comes out. Instead, you are playing in the water like a turtle,” said Sunan Kalijaga, softly.
A miracle happened. Ki Rangga and his servants turned into turtles. Ki Rangga was so sad that He changed into turtles because he did not keep his promise. The water formed a pond. It is now called Sendang Sani, in Pati, Central Java.
Thank you.
Wassalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.
