The Rain Princess and the Knights
Renjana Kanya's
A long time ago, in the Blue Sky Kingdom, there lived a very beautiful Rain Princess. Every day with her best friend - the Grey Cloud - the Rain Princess always went around the palace. They regulate when the sky is clear, when the white clouds are moving, until when the white clouds that are as soft as cotton must be a cloud of dark clouds that eventually become rain.
He also brought the dark clouds into a thousand specks of water that fell to the earth. It was the Rain Princess who made sure that none of the children of rain would end up harming all the people in the world.
Princess Rain has always been happy to carry out her duties. He complained despite having to work day and night. Just for the sake of regulating when the dark clouds that store tons of water, must be a rain that is very much awaited by earth people.
The Blue Sky Kingdom princess was always happy when the earthlings cheered her arrival. In fact, not infrequently small children run around under their bluish-white shawls. He will laugh with the cheerful faces of the children who await his presence.
Especially when he had to return to the Blue Sky Kingdom and leave a trail of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple. The boys would definitely cheer even more boisterously. Not infrequently, adults stared in amazement at the runway he used to return to where he came from.
Once, while the Princess was carrying out her duty of arranging the white clouds around the kingdom, she slipped and fell to earth. His body fell on the edge of the silent lake. There's no Grey Cloud, a friend who can bring him back.
The Rain Princess was very sad. Hearts confused. He doesn't know who to complain to. The place is back so far away. There was no way he could return if the white clouds were still clumping around the kingdom. It needs a cloud to make it rain. Only when it rains can you go home.
Who can make it rain if that is his duty. No other figure could rain except the princess herself. Even if it could, it was only the princess' father, the ruler of the Blue Sky Kingdom. But had to wait how long until his father realized that the princess had disappeared.
When it sobbed, a handsome knight found the princess at the edge of the well. In the eyes of the knight, the form of the princess looks so charming wrapped in her dress that is as clear as water but looks sparkling blue. Paras the princess made the knight pity and wanted to help him.
"What are you doing here, nameless princess? Why is your face so sad with tears?" the knight asked the princess to wipe away her tears. Growing princess hope to return to the Blue Sky Kingdom.
The Rain Princess stared fixedly at the knight's face. He begged the knight to help him get back home.
"I fell down, sir, and I can't go home. Can you take me home?"
"Where is your house, Princess? How do I take the Princess back to the palace?"
The Princess looked puzzled at answering the Knight's question. How do you make a Knight believe that he comes from a land far above the clouds? But the Princess will not know if she has not tried, then with a worried heart the Rain Princess said Knight.
"I am from a land where the white clouds are very close. Even you can feel how soft it is with just the tip of your fingers. Can you take me there, sir?"
The Knight seemed to think for a long time. In his mind he was still wondering, where would the land be as close as the white clouds that stretched across the horizon? Even he could not refuse the request of the Princess who is now increasingly sad face.
"All right, I'll take you home Princess. But before we have to go to the city to bring supplies during the trip."
The Princess's face turned bright upon hearing the Knight's speech. They left the edge of the lake where Princess Rain fell and walked towards the city.
After all the supplies are ready, the Knights and the Rain Princess embark on a journey in search of a land where the clouds are so close that they can be touched with their fingertips. Though the Knights aren't sure where to look. But in order to make the Princess smile, the young Knight agreed to her request.
For days they walked north. Sometimes they also go west or south. Many countries they have visited, but not one country that brought them closer to the white clouds that marched in the sky.
Until finally they arrived in a small town that had never been blessed with rain for a long time. Every resident there lingered in the temple, only to plead for the rain to fall.
Even the Rain Princess felt sorry to see their suffering. What can he do now? How many seasons have passed to make the land in the city so barren and dry. Rivers become shallow, fields lack water. Their cattle live bones without meat.
"Weird, we've been walking for a long time, but it never rained even once. This should still be the rainy season. And this town is so dry. How long has the rain never stopped" said the Knight, noting the apprehensive state of the population.
"So, there's got to be a reason why it's not raining."
"That is because the Rain Princess has neglected her duty and tormented mankind. If only the Rain Princess was not negligent, this city would be as green as it used to be. And the cattle neither hunger nor thirst."
Suddenly a man appeared in front of them. His body was thin like most of the town. In his eyes was clearly hatred for the Rain Princess.
When he realized the sentence of one of the residents, the heart of Princess Rain was very sick. He never neglected his duty. Even when the king called out to the Prince of Lightning, his eldest brother, Princess Rain was still faithfully working. Although the reality is that the Princess is very afraid of the sound of holding the brother. Never did the Rain Princess defy her duties.
But when he fell and was estranged in a world that did not know anyone, there were people who denounced his duty. The Rain Princess was very hurt. He ran away from the Knight to the hill to the north. In his heart he called his father. Although he knew the risk if the Great King of the Blue Sky Kingdom heard the voice of his son did not come from within the palace, then it meant that the plan would happen.
Justright. The black clouds that had not stopped for a few days, now rumbled in the sky. Even his eldest brother parted the sky with his thunderous voice. The Great King of the Blue Sky Kingdom sent out a gray cloud to look for the princess's whereabouts and sent down a heavy rain.
The Knight who realized the anger of the king of the Blue Sky Kingdom, immediately invited the Rain Princess to take shelter. But the princess refused. He must go home, so that no more humans consider him to be neglecting the task.
Coinciding with that, the Prince of Lightning descended to earth to pick up the Princess. It was then that the Knight realized who the beautiful princess he had helped. Despite his heavy heart, the Knight let Princess Rain return to her original place. After previously asking the Knights to leave the city.
When she had returned to the Blue Sky Palace, the Rain Princess still held a grudge. For days the Rain Princess punished the arrogant man in the city so as not to underestimate his duties. Until finally he saw more people who gave up in the flood because of his actions.
In the sky he also painted a rainbow to comfort his heartbroken man. Not to forget he asked the help of his friend Grey Cloud, to parade the white clouds so that occasionally humans feel the shade of the sun. The Rain Princess' smile expanded as the Wind Princess, her second brother, came bearing news from the Knight.
"Thank you for stopping the rain and replacing it with wet soil and shady plants. Next, I will wait for you at the edge of the lake where we first met. Come in with your beautiful, sparkling blue dress that's like water crystal."
So every time the Rain Princess takes the rain children to earth, she must stop by the lake where she meets the Knights. This time he had always made sure that he could return to the Blue Sky Kingdom without bothering humans. Although occasionally he forgets time and forces his father to pick him up which is sure to come with a natural disaster. However, Princess Rain never forgets to fix all the destructive actions of the father. Because he still loves people.

The boys' innocent faces did not blink when they heard me recite a fairy tale I wrote last night. Even when I finished reading it, they asked me to read another story. They are so enthusiastic about presenting story books that are deliberately donated.
"Sir, read another story dong," said Vani, a 3rd grader, who ran away while attending a class that Dimas taught. We got acquainted when Dimas asked him to call me and Ms. Sazkia.
Besides Vani, the other children did the same. They ran away from each other's teachers when they heard me recite a fairy tale. Even the volunteers who should be teaching, actually joined in groups with other children.
"But you guys still have to learn" I said feeling guilty for taking the job disk of the other volunteers.
"Dengerin fairy tale also learn kok, sister," kelit Agus who is thick-bodied. He should have studied with Sazkia's mother who was instructed to teach 6th graders.
"Duh, how is it? Gini, what if you learn first. Brother will wait. Only then did Brother Anya tell a story again for you."
"Yaahhh. We want to hear Kak Anya storytelling," koor disappointed to make me more wrong. Not to mention when he saw another volunteer staring at me with a slap. Except for Sazkia's brother who was just fine because the task was so light. And also Dimas who was enthusiastic to hear me storytelling.
"Gini deh, Brother Anya will ask for help from other brothers. We make a guess. Who can answer the most, then Brother Anya give the opportunity to choose which story to read. How do you agree?"
"Agujuu... but the guess is not to count?" The choir sounded again.
"Yes can't do that, the question is up to Brother-sister what love," I said not to give up.
Honestly this is embarrassing. When did I argue with a child? But in order to dispel the cynical gaze, I chose to thicken my face. Sister Sazkia even laughed at my insistent expression as she debated their request.
After a heated debate, they finally agreed and agreed to my idea of accepting the challenge from the other volunteers. On condition that, who answers the most will choose the title of the story that I will read. And that goes for champions one, two, and three.
"Drink first, must be thirsty for long storytelling." Araz stretched out mineral water as I rested for a while unwinding.
"Thank you. Didn't think they would be so enthusiastic about my fairy tale. Though long time no storytelling," I complained after gulping up the mineral water toilet that extended Araz.
"Your story is magical, it's natural that children like it. You have taught them indirectly about the blessings of rain and flood." Araz smiled at me and patted the top of my head. "It's not wrong that I made you my assistant. I'll eat dinner tonight."
"That's what Mas Araz promised me" I said trying to hide the wrong behavior when Araz patted the top of my head. Before my body's reaction became excessive, I decided to help the other volunteers. "I helped the others first."
"Aren't you going to help me take a picture? The others are back first!" exclaim Araz I don't care. I don't want him to see me wrong in front of him.
