Narrative====> PETRUK AND KALIMASADA AMULET

Long time ago, there was a kingdom which named Amarta. Amarta was a big and peaceful kingdom. All people lived happily in Amarta. One of them was Petruk who was a very kind person. He lived in Amarta as a Punakawan. Punakawan was a person who lived in a kingdom as an adviser for a king.

Someday, there was a big problem in Amarta. Kalimasada Amulet was missing so all people were very confused. Petruk knew the person who stole the Amulet. He was Mustakaweni, and then Petruk told it to his lord, Bambang Irawan and Bambang Priyambodo. Kalimasada Amulet was really important for them. All people knew if the Amulet was lost, it would be a big disaster which happened. Therefore, Petruk helped Bambang Irawan and Bambang Priyambodo to get the Amulet from Mustakaweni. They were successful and got the Amulet again. Petruk was believed to keep the Amulet.

Actually, there was a person who wanted to get the Amulet from Petruk. He was Adipati Karna. When he met Petruk, he stabbed Petruk until died by Kris Kyai Jalak. Gandarwa knew about it and he made Petruk alive again. After that, he changed himself to be Duryudana. He helped Petruk to get the Amulet from Adipati Karna and he was successful. He told Petruk to put the Amulet on his head because it would make him stronger. Peruk did what Gandarwa said.

Petruk became a very strong person. He could defeat many people. Therefore, he became a king in Ngrancang Kencana Kingdom whose name Prabu Wel Keduwelbeh. He also changed himself. When Petruk wanted to be crowned, there was a problem. Dwarawati Kingdom didn’t want Prabu Wel Keduwelbeh to be a king because he was very arbitrarily. Kresna, a king of Dwarawati, told Semar to solve it. Semar told Gareng and Bagong to go to Ngrancang Kencana palace to meet Prabu Wel Keduwelbeh.

In Ngrancang Kencana palace, Gareng, Bagong, and Petruk were fighting. They were fighting until they were sweaty. Gareng and Bagong recognized Prabu Wel Keduwelbeh as Petruk by smelling his sweat. Then, they stopped fighting because Petruk was their brother.

They didn’t fight anymore instead they were dancing together. Petruk realized that Gareng and Bagong knew him. Then he ran, but it was late, Gareng and Bagong caught him. Prabu Wel Keduwelbeh became Petruk again. Petruk told that he did it because he wanted to make a king aware. “As a king, he has to pay attention with his people”, he said. Petruk realized that his attitude wasn’t good. He apologized to Pandawa. The kingdom became peaceful again.
