The following text is for questions 1 and 2.
King Ranubanu had a very pretty princess. She loved water very much. One day, the people of the
kingdom suffered from a strange disease. A lot of people died. Physicians failed to cure the people.
One day, an old man visited the King. He said that the kingdom could be free from the disease with
the help of a rare flower that grew in the middle of a lake. The lake was just at Mount Semeru's foot. However,
the flower could only be taken by the princess. Sadly, the King let the princess do the heavy task.
After a long journey, the princess and her people arrived at the lake. The water of the lake soon
attracted the princess to play with it. She jumped into the lake and forgot about the task. She refused to go
back to the kingdom.
Hearing about the princess' behavior, the king got angry. He went to see the princess and said,
"People are waiting for you to bring the flower to cure them, but you forgot about the task. If you refuse to go
back to the palace you'd better stay here in the lake forever!"
Surprisingly, the princess tumed into a white flower. The king, sadly, took the flower out of the lake and
brought it to the palace. Amazingly, the people of the kingdom could be cured by seeing the flower. The flower
is known as the water lily or "Bunga Teratai" in the Indonesian language.
