PRINCESS MANDALIKA

 Once upon a time in Lombok, there was a kingdom named Kuripan. The king of
Kuripan was very wise. He had a daughter, named  Mandalika. She was so
beautiful. Many princes wanted to marry her. To choose the one that would be his
son-in-law, the king had an arrow shooting competition. The best one would be
Mandalika’s husband.

     On the day of the competition, those princes shot their arrows. All of them did it
perfectly. The king found it difficult to choose. Therefore, the princes began to figh
and kill each other.

     Princess Mandalia was so desperate. She didn’t want anyone killing each other
because of her. That’s why she decided  to go to the sea. She died in the south sea
of Lombok. The king and princes were sad and felt guilty. They regretted and
stopped fighting.

the south sea. On that day, a great number of worms come out from the sea. People
call these worms nyale. People believe thet nyales are Princess Mandalikas’s hair.
