Once upon a time, there was a handsome young man. His name is Awang Sukma.
Awang Sukma wandered into the middle of the forest. He was amazed to see the variety of life in the forest.
He built a tree house on a very large tree branch. He lived in the forest in harmony and peace.
After a long stay in the forest, Awang Sukma was appointed ruler of the area and got the title “Datu” .
Once a month, Awang Sukma toured his territory, and he arrived at a clear lake.
The lake was under a shady tree with a lot of fruit. The birds and insects live happily there.
“Hmm, how beautiful this lake is! This forest has incredible beauty,” said Datu Awang Sukma in his heart.
The next day, when Datu Awang Sukma blew his flute, he heard a bustling sound in the lake.
On the sidelines of the pile of broken stones, Datu Awang Sukma peered towards the lake.
Awang Sukma was very surprised and surprised when he saw 7 beautiful girls playing water.
“Could they be angels?” awang Sukma.
The seven beauties were unaware that they were being watched and ignored their shawls used for flying tools, strewn around the lake.
One of the shawls is located near Awang Sukma.
“Wah, this is a good chance to get one of those shawls,” muttered Datu Awang Sukma.
After taking one scarf close to him, Datu Awang Sukma immediately ran to hide back. But when running accidentally he stepped on a dry twig.
“Krak”
Hearing the sound of dry twigs breaking, the girls were shocked and instantly took each other's shawls.
They hurriedly flew away leaving the lake using their magic scarf.
But there was a girl who could not find her shawl. He was abandoned by all his sisters.
She was so scared and sad to be left alone.
That was when Datu Awang Sukma came out from hiding.
He pretended to accidentally pass the lake and asked what happened.
The youngest daughter told me about what she was going through.
