Joko kendil's

Once upon a time there was an old widow with her son. The boy had a strange physical shape. Her body is similar to a pot. That's why people mention Joko Kendil*.

Although Joko's body is abnormal, her mother loves her for who she is. He never regretted the fate of his son. Whatever Joko asks, he always tries to grant it.

Joko grew up as a happy child. He is known as a witty boy. But sometimes Joko is also naughty. He often goes to the market, then he sits near the trader. The merchant thought Joko was a pot. So he put some of his food on Joko's body. He also sneaks into parties. People thought Joko was an ordinary pot, so the man put food there. Then Joko secretly went home and brought food for her mother.

Joko's mother is angry to see Joko's mischief. He thought Joko was stealing. Joko then explained that everyone thought he was a pot. His mother laughed when she heard it.

As Joko grows up, Joko's body remains a pot-like one. But surprisingly, Joko asked her mother to find a wife for her. Unmitigated, Joko wants the king's daughter as his wife. Of course, his mother was shocked. “Remember Joko, we are poor. After all, are you unaware of your body shape?” ask mother. “Don't worry, Mother. Trust me, everything will be fine. Again, I ask for help, so that Mother proposes to the king's daughter to be my wife,” Joko said comforting her mother.

With a heart full of doubt, Mother Joko went to face the King. The king had three beautiful daughters. Joko's mother expresses her son's wishes to the King. The king was not angry at all to hear the words of Joko's mother. Instead, the King passed the proposal on to his three daughters.

The Eldest Princess said, “I would not, Ayahanda. I want a rich husband.” Middle Princess says, “Suami do I want? A king like Ayahanda.” Unlike the three brothers, Putri Bungsu actually received the proposal with pleasure. The king was astonished. But because Putri Bungsu had agreed, he could not prevent the marriage.

One day, the King held a race of dexterity. But Joko can't come. He told the king his body was sick. The agility race was followed by many important people such as princes and commanders. They ride horses and use weapons. Suddenly came a gallant knight. He is very handsome and agile using a weapon.

The Eldest Princess and the Middle Princess were delighted to see him. They fell in love with the knight. He again mocked his sister, because he was in a hurry to marry Joko Kendil.

Princess Bungsu ran to her room crying. There he saw a jug. Out of annoyance, he slammed the jug to pieces.

The gallant knight went into Princess Bungsu's room. He was looking for a jug, but it was destroyed. Then he saw Putri Bungsu crying. “What's my wife?” tanyakanya. Of course Princess Bungsu was shocked. Isn't her husband Joko Kendil? Then the knight told him his true self. She is actually Joko Kendil, her husband. He had to wear clothes in the form of a jug. But he can become a knight again if a princess wants to marry him.

I see that handsome knight Joko Kendil, how sorry the Eldest Princess and Middle Princess. Instead with Putri Bungsu, he became very happy with Joko Kendil who had transformed into a beautiful man.
