The story of the sand lake

   

 In ancient times, there lived a husband and wife named Mr. Pasir and Mrs. Pasir. They live in the forest of Mount Lawu. They live in a hut in the forest on the slopes of Mount Lawu. The hut is made of wood and roofs of leaves. The hut is very simple. 

However, the hut is very safe, from the disturbance of wild animals and the heat of the sun, the walls of the hut are made of bark tied to a wooden pole using rattan. between the wooden walls was given a little gap as a vent so that fresh air can go out into the hut they occupy. 

Mr. Pasir is a field farmer. From the results of the fields, he and his wife can survive, even if only just barely. The field owned by Mr. Pasir is located on the edge of the forest, not far from where he lives. 

One day, Mr. Pasir went to the fields as usual. However, he was very surprised when he would cut down trees. Because seeing a large egg lying under a tree.

 He approached the egg. He was confused, what eggs did he find. Because he saw that there were no poultry animals around the forest. Mr. Pasir doesn't want to worry about what animal eggs are. For him, the egg is a good side dish when cooked. Therefore, he wanted to take the egg home for a lunch with his wife at home. When the day before noon, he took the egg and brought it home to give to his wife.

 

 After arriving at home he immediately told his wife to be boiled. Before the egg is cooked, Mr. Pasir also tells how he found the egg. After that, he again asked his wife to immediately cook eggs because they were starving. He also can't wait to eat the eggs immediately. 

Mrs. Pasir quickly brought the egg to the kitchen to be cooked. While waiting for the eggs to mature, Mr. Pasir lay down for a moment because of exhaustion. Shortly after, his wife finished cooking.

 

 After cooking. The egg is divided into two. Half of the eggs were eaten by Mr. Pasir. He also ate the egg very ravenously. After finishing eating, Mr. Pasir immediately returned to the forest to continue his work. 

On the way back to the fields. Mr. Pasir still feels the delicious eggs that he ate with his wife. However, when he arrived at his field. His body feels very strange. Suddenly, his whole body became hot, stiff and felt very painful. His eyes were dizzy as well as cold sweat all over his body. 

 Because he was very sick, Mr. Pasir fell to the ground and rolled around. Suddenly, from the body of  Mr. Pasir began to grow scales, while his mouth began to advance the muzzle forward. Mr.Pasir transformed into a male dragon that kept rolling around nonstop.

 

Meanwhile, Mrs. Pasir who was in the house also experienced the same thing as her husband. Apparently, the eggs they eat are Naga eggs. Mrs.Pasir also began to feel pain all over his body. He immediately ran to the fields to ask for help from her husband. However, after arriving at the field he was very surprised to see her husband had turned into a very frightening dragon. 

 Out of fear of seeing her husband who has changed, he intends to run away. However, because it is unable to withstand pain throughout his body. Mrs.Pasir fell to the ground and rolled around. In an instant, his entire body began to be covered with very rough scales and turned into a dragon. 

The two dragons keep rolling. Without realizing it, they form a basin. However, over time the basin becomes wider and deeper. Suddenly, a huge burst of water emerged from the basin. In an instant, the basin was full of water and the Mr. Pasir field turned into a large pond. 

 The watery basin finally turned into a lake which the surrounding community called Telaga Pasir(Sand Lake). because the Mr. Pasir and Mrs. Pasir made this lake.
