____________________. Cilacap has a very popular island, called Nusakambangan. I bet many of
you haven’t known the origin story. Let me tell you THE LEGEND OF NUSA
Once upon a time there’s a proud magical king, Prabu Aji Pramosa, from the East Java.
Feeling that he had unmatched power, the king didn’t want to bow down to anyone.
At that time, there was a powerful sage named Kiai Jamur. Kiai Jamur had a very strong
supernatural power that made King Aji Pramosa jealous. He then regarded the rishi as an
enemy.
Prabu Aji : I’m the strongest man in this world. I deserve to be the King who ruled
over the world.
Commander : How about Kiai Jamur, my majesty? He also has a very strong
supernatural power.
Prabu Aji : Your words are just made me disappointed my beloved commander.
Commander : I don’t mean anything, My Majesty. Please forgive me. Please forgive me
Prabu Aji : there’s no one able to take my position even being stronger than me.
REMEMBER THAT! Catch him neither dead nor alive! (angry face)
Kiai Jamur wandered towards the south coast of Java Island. He walked through the forest,
passed the mountains until he arrived at a place that is currently called Cilacap. Kiai Jamur
then hid in that place.
Prabu Aji Pramosa finally discovered where Kiai Jamur was. He immediately attacked Kiai
Jamur using a weapon. ( practicing attact use weapon, then pretend to be kiai jamur died)
But, A miracle happened; Kiai Jamur's body disappeared instantly. Then, there came the
sound of rumbling and wind noise.
Prabu Aji Pramosa released his arrow into the dragon's stomach. The dragon died.
Suddenly a beautiful princess named Dewi Wisawati appeared from the east, calling for
him.
"Thank you so much Prabu Aji Pamosa because you have already safe me, I will give you
Wijaya Kusuma flower, it can make you will become the King of Java island"
"Because I give Wijaya Kusuma flower to you in this island, I will give name "Nusa
Kambangan" said Dewi Wisawati.
After he got the flower, he wanted soon back to his kingdom, he rowed his boat hasty
and carelessly. Unfortunately, Wijaya Kusuma flower dropped into the sea and he lost
it. He was sad. Then, the people called this small island with Nusa Kambangan, Nusa
means island and Kambangan means kembang or flower.
After you listen to my story, I hope we will be more proud to our NUSAKAMBANGAN.
The moral message from the story is don’t be arrogant, always be careful of everything
you do. Also Be wise with your behaviors and attitudes.
