<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>IN THE NORTHEASTERN PART</b> of the Tengger mountains lies the Lake of Grati, the so-called Crocodile Lake. <br />
<br />
The lake got its name from the many crocodiles which, centuries and
centuries ago, mysteriously appeared in its waters; then, after living
there a while, they as mysteriously disappeared, leaving in their stead
the ikan leleh, a long, dark-grey fish something like an eel. These fish
were really the reason why the crocodiles are now the enemies of man.
How this came about is told in the following legend: <br />
<br />
Long, long ago, when the villagers were simple, kindly folk, the
crocodiles that lived in the Lake of Grati were on friendly terms with
the people of the neighborhood. <br />
<br />
The oldest pair of crocodiles, who were called Kyai and Nyai Buaja, were
the great-great-great-great-great-grandparents of the youngest
crocodiles. Because they were so old, the gods had given Kyai and Nyai
Buaja the power to change themselves, as soon as twilight fell, into
human beings; but as soon <br />
as day broke they had to become crocodiles again. <br />
<br />
Now Kyai and Nyai Buaja owned a gamelan which they had safely hidden
away in their home on the bottom of the lake. This gamelan, which made
very beautiful music, was always being borrowed by the villagers
whenever they had a marriage or a harvest feast to celebrate. In order
to get in the good graces of the old crocodiles, those who wanted to
hold a feast would send a little raft out on the water to the place
where Kyai and Nyai Buaja came to the surface every day. On the raft
would be burning incense and a fine duck or perhaps a chicken. When the
old pair appeared, the people would cry, "Kyai and Nyai Buaja, my
daughter is going to be married," or "We are going to have a harvest
feast; our rice is ripe. May we please borrow your gamelan? And we hope
you will come to the feast, too/' <br />
<br />
When the people had said this, the two crocodiles would dive down to the
depths of the lake, and it wasn't long before the raft, with the
gamelan on it, would reappear on the shore. <br />
<br />
And, shortly before midnight on the evenings when the celebrations were
being held and the soft, lovely music of the gamelan was drifting over
the lake, Kyai and Nyai Buaja would appear in their human forms and
would take part in the festivities. They would stay until just an hour
before sunrise, because they were afraid that if they stayed longer and
were turned back into their crocodile shapes, they would frighten the
people, and they didn't want that to happen. <br />
<br />
This went on for many years. The people often asked for the loan of the
gamelan, and as often as they asked for it they would put a duck or a
chicken or a little wild pig or perhaps a deer on the raft, in return.
All this, of course, made the crocodiles feel more and more friendly
toward the villagers. <br />
<br />
But everything was changed when a woman called Leleh came to live in a nearby village. <br />
<br />
Leleh was a wicked woman. People said that she was a witch, and that her
charms could call forth the evil spirits, and that was why she had been
banished from the village where she was born. They even said that she
knew a charm that could make her turn into a tiger, but this was not
true. She was, however, a sly and cunning woman, and a thief. She stole
the chickens and the eggs of the villagers, and she chased away the wild
ducks that came to the shores of the lake to lay their eggs. And, what
was worst of all, she plagued the crocodiles. <br />
<br />
She grew so daring in her plaguing that one day she tied a fat duck to
the end of a rope and put it on the raft, and then cried in a loud
voice, "Kyai and Nyai Buaja, I'm sending you something delicious for
your meal. Come up and see what it is; it's all ready for you on the
raft!" <br />
<br />
The two big heads of the old crocodiles had hardly appeared on the
surface of the water, and they had hardly looked around with their
knowing eyes, before the wicked Leleh pulled the little rope that was
attached to the leg of the duck and drew it back to the shore. And she
cried tauntingly, "I, too, like a tasty tidbit! Find something else for
yourselves, old ones!" And thereupon she built a fire, roasted the duck
to a delicate brown, and sat down and ate every last crumb of it. <br />
<br />
After this had happened again and again, the old crocodiles began to
tire of it. They said nothing to anyone, neither to Leleh herself nor to
the villagers, but they decided between themselves that Leleh must be
punished and soon. So the next time she put a duck on the raft and
called out, 'Tm sending you a delicious morsel for your meal, old ones!"
Kyai Buaja called back, "Send the raft a little nearer, Leleh. My wife
is sick and I cannot leave her." <br />
<br />
Leleh pushed the raft a little farther, but at the same time she pulled
the duck off. And no sooner had she done this than from all sides the
crocodiles shot out of the water and, led by Kyai Buaja himself, dragged
Leleh with them down to the depths of the lake. There Kyai changed her
into a fish which he called the leleh fish, or ikan leleh. <br />
<br />
He told her that from now on she would have to take care of all his
great great-great-grandchildren, the young crocodiles. But when she
tried to do this, the young crocodiles bit her so fiercely that her fins
became weak (and from that time to this the leleh fish has been a
weak-finned fish) . She was forbidden ever to leave the lake again. She
could not have done so anyhow, because her many descendants put her in a
narrow cleft in the rocks and forced her to stay there. There were so
many of these fish, her descendants, that soon there were more leleh
fish than crocodiles. Kyai and Nyai Buaja finally had to call on the
villagers to help them. <br />
<br />
The villagers fished day and night for the wicked lelehs and they caught
them by the netfuls. But the more they caught, the more there were left
in the lake. <br />
<br />
Kyai and Nyai Buaja thought that the villagers were in league with the
fish and merely caught them and then threw them back into the lake. And
so they and all the other crocodiles became angry with people. They
became so angry that they swore eternal enmity. Kyai Buaja himself said
that whenever he met a human being he would kill him immediately. <br />
<br />
And one day, when the water in the lake was higher than usual, Kyai and
Nyai Buaja and all the other crocodiles left the place where they had
lived so happily before the coming of Leleh. <br />
<br />
They left the lake in such a mysterious manner that none of the village
people noticed their going. They only knew that the next day ? when they
went down to the lake and called, the crocodiles were gone. And they
never came back. <br />

I know, “Without friends, the world is but wilderness.”<br />
A wasteland we could be trapped in the loneliness<br />
As if, buried and wrapped in the darkness<br />
No one wants it, no man couldn't bear it</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">

I say, "I will not pretend"<br />
My faithful friend is a real true friend<br />
My medicine of life I can’t spend<br />
That will, forever, never end<br />
<br />
He said, “False friends is like our shadow,<br />
Keeping close in the bright sunshine<br />
Leaving in the dark shade.”<br />
But, you, my best friend, are not<br />
<br />
People always walk in and out my life<br />
But you leave footprints in my heart<br />
Though you’re rather silly and never smart</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
My friend, you’re really precious and rare!!!<br />
<br />
My true friends always see the truth<br />
And all the pain of mine<br />
Even I am fooling everyone<br />
Everywhere and every time<br />
<br />
To all my best and true friend of mine<br />
When everyone hears what I say<br />
When ordinary friends listen to what I say<br />
Only you, who listen to what I don’t say</div>
