The Kingdom of Jenggala was ruled by a king named Raden Putra. He was accompanied by a kindly empress and a concubine who had envy and envy. The King's son and his two wives lived in a very magnificent and peaceful palace. Until one day the king's concubine planned something bad for the king's consort. This was done because concubine Raden Putra wanted to become empress.

His concubine conspired with a court physician to carry out the plan. His concubine pretended to be very ill. The court physician was immediately called the King. After examining the concubine, the physician said that someone had put poison in the princess' drink. “The person is none other than His own consort,” said the physician. His majesty became enraged at the explanation of the court physician. He immediately ordered the patih to throw the empress into the forest and kill her.

The Patih immediately took the pregnant empress to the middle of the wilderness. But, the wise man did not want to kill the empress. Apparently the coach already knew the evil intentions of his concubine. “Mr daughter need not worry, I will report to His Majesty that the princess has already killed me,” Patih said. In order to trick the king, the coach smeared his sword with the blood of the rabbit he had captured. The king was satisfied when the coach reported that he had killed the empress.

After a few months in the forest, the queen gave birth to a son. The boy was given the name Cindelaras. Cindelaras grew up to be a smart and handsome boy. Since childhood he has been friends with forest animals. One day, while playing, an eagle dropped a chicken egg. Cindelaras then took the egg and intended to hatch it.

After 3 weeks, the egg hatched into a very cute chick. Cindelaras kept his chicks diligently. More and more the chicks grew into a strong and strong rooster. But there is one strange thing about this chicken. The sound of the chicken is different from that of other chickens. “Kukuruyukis... Tuanku Cindelaras, his house in the middle of the jungle, the roof of coconut leaves, his father Raden Putra..”, the cock crow.

News of the greatness of the Cindelaras chicken spread quickly to the Palace. Raden Putra finally heard the news. Later, Raden Putra sent his courtiers to invite Cindelaras to the palace. “Hamba facing paduka,” says Cindelaras with courtesy. “This child is handsome and intelligent, it seems that he is not a descendant of commoners,” thought he. The chicken Cindelaras pitted against the chicken Raden Putra on one condition, if the chicken Cindelaras lost then he was willing to be beheaded, but if the chicken won then half the wealth Raden Putra became the property of Cindelaras.

The two chickens fought bravely. But in a short time, the chicken Cindelaras managed to conquer the chicken of the King. The spectators cheered to cuddle Cindelaras and his cock. “All right I admit defeat. I will keep my promise. But who are you, young man?” Ask Sire Raden Putra. Cindelaras immediately bowed like he was whispering something to his chicken. Not how long the chicken went off. “Kukuruyukis... Tuanku Cindelaras, his house in the middle of the jungle, the roof of coconut leaves, his father Raden Putra. Raden Putra was surprised to hear the Cindelaras cock. “Is that true?” Ask the astonishment. “True Your Majesty, the name of the servant Cindelaras, the mother of the servant is the consort of His Majesty.”

Simultaneously, the patih immediately faced and told of all the events that had actually happened to the empress. “I have done something wrong,” said His Majesty Raden Putra. “I will give the appropriate punishment to my concubine,” continued His Majesty with wrath. Then, concubine Raden Putra was thrown into the forest. Raden Putra immediately hugged his son and apologized for his mistake After that, Raden Putra and the hulubalang immediately picked up the empress to the forest.. Eventually Raden Putra, the empress and Cindelaras were able to regroup. After Raden Putra died, Cindelaras succeeded his father. He ruled his land justly and wisely.
