Calon Arang was a widow of Girah who gave birth to a daughter in the jungle. Her daughter grew up to be the famed beauty Ratna Menggali. Calon Arang wanted her daughter to marry a prince from Airlangga’s palace. However, no prince came along.
Infuriated by this, Calon Arang learned the art of black magic and practised it against the kingdom, causing many people to die. When the King Airlangga heard of the epidemic in Girah, he consulted his high priest,
Mpu Bharadah. The priest then sent his son to propose Ratna Menggali. Calon Arang was pleased, the curse ended, and the couple wed.
Calon Arang inscribed her black magic secret on a lontar, palm leaf book. One day, her son-in-law found it and gave it to his father. When Calon Arang found out that Mpu Bharadah had learned her secrets, she was furious and declared war upon him.
The priest had no choice but to fight and, in a deadly struggle, destroyed the widow by casting a spell. Before she died, Calon Arang asked forgiveness. Mpu Bharadah forgave her and showed her the way to heaven.

Magic Pear
The market was filled with merchants selling fresh groceries. The fishmonger had crab and bass as the catch of the day. The chef was cooking soft and delicious noodles in a variety of sauces. One farmer had the brightest greens, while another had the sweetest pears. Hustle and bustle, the market was filled with activity.
A beggar entered the market, holding out his hand, hoping for a coin or two. The shoppers and merchants ignored him as he passed the food bins. He stopped in front of the pear merchant’s cart. “Please, Sir, you have so many pears. Can you spare just one? I haven’t eaten for seven days.”
The pear merchant, alarmed and angered, tried to chase the beggar away by calling him names and
threatening to beat him.
The local policeman came by to look into the commotion. Feeling sorry for the beggar, the
policeman bought a pear and gave it to the beggar. The beggar thanked the policeman, shook his hand, and started to dig a hole. Confused, the policeman asked the beggar if he was going to eat the pear.
“Oh, no, Sir. You’ve given me a magic pear.
I’m going to bury it and it will grow into a huge tree,” replied the beggar as he continued to dig his hole. The people in the market gathered around and watched the beggar bury the fruit. When the last handful of dirt was placed back in the hole, the beggar sat down and chanted.
The eyes of the crowded widened and was followed by many OH’s and AH’s for just as soon as the beggar sat down, a tiny green sprout emerged from the dirt, climbing up and up, thicker and
stronger. When the sprout reached three feet tall,
it grew branches. On those branches, leaves filled the void. And at the end of each branch, many pears sprouted. There were so many of them that the beggar had to stand up and pick the fruit, or else the tree would collapse.
The beggar, with pears in his arms, started to give away his pears. “I have so many pears and
I want to share with everyone who doesn’t have any.” When all the pears were gone and eaten, the beggar took a long knife from his bag and chopped down the magic pear tree. Everyone thanked the beggar for the show and for sharing, including the pear
merchant. The beggar smiled and walked away.
As soon as the crowd died down, the pear merchant walked back to his cart. To his surprise, all of his pears were gone. The beggar had given them all away. The pear merchant’s cart had a handle missing. The beggar had chopped it off. The pear merchant sat down on his empty, broken cart and cried.

he was very stingy. Pak Pelit had a son. His name was Budiman. Unlike Pak Pelit, Budiman was very generous to the villagers. Because of that, people called him Budiman.
It was harvest time. According to their belief, the villagers had to hold a party to welcome the harvest. If not, the harvest would fail. They would not have good rice. The farmers then asked Pak Pelit to hold
a party. At first Pak Pelit didn’t agree. However, he was afraid not to get good rice.
Then, he held a party. Suddenly, an old woman came. She asked for some food. Budiman saw what happened. He secretly took some food and gave it to the old woman.
Nobody knew that the old woman had supernatural power. She then stamped her foot on the ground. On the place the old woman had stamped up, slowly water came out. More and more water came out. Budiman asked his father to save himself. But Pak Pelit didn’t want to do it. He wanted to save his belongings first. Budiman then asked the villagers to go to the higher ground.
Water was now high. Pak Pelit and his
belongings were down in the water. Budiman and the villagers were sad.
Their village disappeared and became a lake. Budiman suggested that the villagers live at their new place. He also suggested that the people used the water in the lake as a source of the irrigation for their paddy fields.
The farmers worked hard. They produced rice of a high quality. More and more people came and lived there. The village then became a town. They called
it Cianjur. ‘Ci’ means water and ‘anjur’ means
suggestion. The villagers were thankful to Budiman’s suggestion.
