Story of Putri Junjung Buih
The following is a princess folk tale foaming from South
Kalimantan. Once there was the kingdom of Amuntai on the island of Borneo, led
by two brothers. Both can divide the tasks well so that there is never a
dispute between the two. But both of them have not been blessed with children.
One day the queen was pregnant and gave birth to twins. The
news made his brother excited to have children. At that time he found a baby in
a river and was named Putri Junjung Buih. The baby can talk and ask for a cloth
and blanket to be woven in half a day.
Finally the king made a contest. Those who can do so will be
appointed as caregivers. A woman named Ratu Kuripan won the contest. He is not
only good at weaving but also has magical powers. Then the queen was appointed
to be the caregiver of Princess Junjung Buih.
