The Legend of Rona
Rona was a lazy one. She really was. Her husband spoiled her too.
"Get me some water, " she would cry.
"Cook me some kumara (ubi)."
"Aie, kare." she would say. "Yes, dear.
Rona got up one morning and said to her husband. "I feel like a big fish for dinner."
"I'll get you one, kare," he said. "I'll be as quick as I can.'
"Take all day if you like. I've got some sleep to catch up on," she said.
Rona sat on the beach watching her husband paddle his canoe out to sea. She rolled out a whariki and lay down in the warm sun. Pretty soon, she was fast asleep. She slept all day until the sun went down.
When she awoke, she felt very thirsty and she lifted her gourd to have a drink, but it was empty.
"Where's that husband of mine. I'm hungry and I need a drink of water." She called out to her husband, but there was no answer.
"Pai kare. I'll have to get the water myself."
Evening had fallen as she walked past a tree on her way to the creek.
Te Marama, the moon, sailed overhead, lighting her way. But suddenly, Te Marama went behind a cloud and Rona could not see where she was going. She tripped on a rock and fell over bumping her knee. She was extremely angry. She looked up at the sky and cried out to the moon.
"Pokokohua!" she screamed.
"You craggy head!"
Te Marama stopped immediately. he said, "Are you talking to me?"
"Yes, I am! Look at what you made me do!" screamed Rona.
How dare you call me such a disgusting name!" said Te Marama.
Then, without another word, the moon zoomed in towards the earth and caught hold of Rona. She quickly grabbed the branch of a nearby tree, but the moon was far too strong. The tree came out by its roots and Rona was pulled up to the sky.
When Rona's husband returned home with a fish that almost filled his waka (canoe), he could not find his wife. He looked inside their whare (hut). He went down by the creek and down to the beach. Then, he looked up at Te Marama.
There, he saw his wife looking down at him. "Come and see the big fish I caught for you!" he said.
But Rona could only look down sadly and she could say nothing.
To this day, when there is a full moon, you will see Rona. She stands on the moon's face with the gourd in her hand. She looks down still holding on to the ngaio tree.

Queen Aji Bidara Putih
In the eastern part of Kalimantan, next to the Mahakam River, is a district called Muara Kaman. It was once a kingdom ruled by Queen Aji Bidara Putih, who they said was very beautiful and well as very wise and sensitive. She received many offers of marriage from many princes and kings ,but she refused them all because she cared so much about taking care of her country and her people.
A Chinese junk (ship) appeared in the harbour one day, loaded with trading goods and highly trained soldiers. Their envoys (messengers) brought gold antiques and superb porcelain as gifts before announcing a proposal of marriage from a Chinese prince.
The queen was cautiously respectful and didn't refuse the proposal straight away, saying she needed time to mull it over first. Once the envoys had left the palace, the queen called a trusty court officer and asked him to infiltrate the Chinese junk and find out more about the prince.
The court official managed to get past the guards on the junk and finally, he found the prince's room. Unfortunately, there were no holes through which he could peek, so he put his ear to the wall. He heard the prince munching at his dinner, making loud, crude, burping noises as he ate and noisy slurping, gulping sounds as he drank. To the court official the sounds reminded him of a wild boar in the forest.
He left and returned speedily to the palace to the report to the queen that the prince was not a creature not of this world, certainly not human! The queen was shocked and dismayed and when the envoys returned to the palace the next day, she told them politely that she had to refuse the prince's proposal.
The news enraged the prince who then ordered his men to raid Muara Kamam. They met little resistance, and soon they were outside the walls of the palace. Queen Aji Bidara Putih stood at the walls of the palace chewing the leaf of a betel vine which she held in one hand whilst singing a mantra at the same time. She then threw the vine at the Chinese soldiers and it turned into giant centipedes. The Chinese soldiers retreated as fast as they could. But three centipedes chased them and sunk the prince's junk.
The site of the sunken ship is known today as Danau Lipan and the prince's treasures lie hidden with the wreck at the bottom of the lake.
Key words: envoy, junk, slurp, retreat, enrage, raid, proposal, boar, peek, infiltrate.
What do you think? Post a comment.
Of the three stories, Queen Sima, Jayabaya or Queen Aji, which one seems to be a myth?
