Candlenut is an unpretentious girl. He recently became an orphan. Candlenut lives alone. However, not long after, a mother and her child named Celery wanted to think of him as family. Pecan is happy because it has a mother and sisters of the same age.
However, the happiness of hazelnut didn't last long. By her mother and brother she was treated as a servant. She is deprived of food if she doesn't do all the household chores. Early in the morning Kemiri went to the market, he did grocery shopping. Coming home from the Kemiri market, cooking food, then washing clothes into the river. Candlenut is a very thin person, but he has absolutely no grudge against his mother and siblings.
The longer the mother is getting cruel to her, until one day Celery and her mother have an evil plan. They wanted to get rid of Kemiri for good, so that the inheritance of Kemiri's parents, namely the house and its contents, would fall into the hands of Celery and her mother.
Early in the morning Celery and her mother told Kemiri to go to a dense forest. They asked to get some leaves which would be used as medicine. Candlenut also obeyed his mother's orders. He went to the forest without being accompanied by anyone. After seeing Kemiri leave, Celery and her mother burst out laughing because they were sure that Kemiri would not be able to return because in the forest there were many wild animals.
Arriving in the forest, Kemiri was exhausted. He also felt hungry and thirsty. He could vaguely see a small, rickety hut. Candlenut also intends to take a break in the small hut. It turned out that the owner of the hut was an old grandmother who was sick. Seeing a girl coming, the old grandmother was happy.
"Grandma, may I take a short break at Grandma's hut?"
“Please, Cu, it happens that Grandma has been sick for several days. If possible, Grandma also wants to ask you to cook rice. Grandma is very hungry. Because of illness, Grandma didn't
can cook. " "Fine, Grandma." Candlenut feels happy because of
really he's hungry too.
"If I may know, what needs Cucu to this dense forest? " "I'm looking for leaves to be used as medicine, Grandma."
“You can take as many leaves as you want, they are all in my backyard. Think of it as gratitude for helping me. "
Candlenut feels happy, because he doesn't need to search anymore. After taking care of her old grandmother and cooking so many delicious foods, Kemiri said goodbye to her to go home. However, before he came home. Grandma gave him a pitcher made of clay.
"Take this jug home, don't open it until you get home."
"Fine, Grandma."
At home, Celery and her mother were surprised to see that the hazelnut was not eaten by wild animals. Candlenut managed to bring so many medicinal leaves for her mother. He also brought the pitcher given by his grandmother.
As the grandmother said, she could open the jug when she got home. In front of Celery and her mother, Kemiri opened the jug. How shocked they were when they saw the contents of the jug. There were gold and silver seeds which looked like hazelnut.
Celery was jealous of seeing her brother receive gold and silver gifts. He also planned something with his mother. He followed Kemiri's footsteps, went to the forest pretending to be looking for medicinal leaves. Celery saw a small hut, like the Pecan said. Celery pretended to be tired and asked the old lady to let her rest.
Grandma also allowed Celery to rest. He also asked Celery to help him cook rice. Celery also did the job her grandmother ordered. With a heavy heart, he went to the well to get water that would be used to wash the rice. When he arrived at the well, Celery saw so many jars lined up near the well. The jug was of the same shape and color as the jug filled with gold and silver that the Candlenut carried.
Without thinking, Celery took the jars and left immediately. If he waited for the grandmother to give him, then he only got one jug. Therefore, Celery took all the jugs that were available so that she could get a lot of gold and silver.
On the way, he found it difficult to carry the many jugs.
He also thought of breaking the jars and taking only the gold and silver so that they could be carried easily. Impatiently he broke all the jars, but not the gold in them, but poisonous snakes, along with the centipedes and centipedes.
Kemiri and his mother who were waiting for Celery looked worried, because it was already evening but Celery did not come home. The mother followed Celery into the forest. In the forest he saw so many snakes, centipedes and centipedes attacking Celery. He also finally did not escape the attack of the reptile. Candlenut is now living happily because there are no more bad people to her.
