Long time ago, there lived two princess in a big kingdom in Java. Their name were Dewi Galuh and Candra Kirana. They have an opposite personality. Candra Kirana was beautiful and kind while Dewi Galuh was evil and envious. They were never really close to each other because every time Candra Kirana have something, Dewi Galuh will always try to find a way to make it hers.
One day, Candra Kirana was engaged with the crown prince of Kahuripan kingdom named Raden Inu Kertapati. He was a wise, handsome, brave, kind and talented man. A lot of woman in his kingdom adored him. Dewi Galuh was very jealous of Candra Kirana because Dewi Galuh had crush on Raden Inu Kertapati. She started to use her cunning mind to find a way to get rid of Candra Kirana from him.
Dewi Galuh finally decided to use the help of the great witch to curse Candra Kirana. The witch agreed to help her but she also told her that her magic had a weakness. One day, when Candra Kirana was walking at the beach the witch showed up in front of her. The witch started to cast her spell toward Candra Kirana and turn her into a golden snail. The witch then picked the golden snail up and throw it into the ocean. Before that, the witch told the golden snail that she will be able to return to her original form when she met her true love.
One day an old lady was walking at the beach. She saw the golden snail from distance. She decided to approach it because it was beautiful. She thought that it would be a good pet for her. After that, she picked it up and brought it home. She put the golden snail in a water jar.
The next day, when she woke up in the morning, she found a lot of food were served on the table. She tasted it and it turned out to be very delicious. She was very hungry so she didn't think to much about where did the food came from even though she was actually surprised. When she had finished her breakfast, the old lady went out to look for some fish and she returned on the afternoon.
Every day when the old lady woke up, the same thing happened over and over again. So many delicious food were served on the table. After a couple of days, she decided to find out who the person behind all this decent food on her table every day. One morning, she pretended to went out as she used to do but she didn't really go. She hid at her backyard and wait for a couple of minutes. After that she took a peek inside through the window.
She saw the golden snail turned into a beautiful lady, she also watched her cooking and cleaning the house. The old lady walked back to her house and surprised Candra Kirana. "Who are you my dear" said the old lady. "I'm Candra Kirana, I was a princess of Daha kingdom" said Candra Kirana. "What happened to you?" asked the old lady. "I was cursed by an evil witch sent by my sister, because my sister was envy to me." Candra Kirana replied to the old lady question. After that Candra Kirana turned back into the golden snail.
Meanwhile at the palace, Raden Inu Kertapati was doing everything that he can to find Candra Kirana. He finally decided to disguise himself as an ordinary villager so he can continue the search by himself. He walked from one house to another trying to talk to the villagers and collecting information about his beloved fiancee. No one gave him a valuable information about it. So he continued the search to another village.
One day, Raden Inu Kertapati was very tired and thirsty. He saw a small hut and decided to go there. He knocked the door several times until finally someone opened the door. He was very surprised to see that the person who opened the door was his beloved fiancee, Candra Kirana. They were very happy. The curse broke forever because Candra Kirana finally met her true love. Candra Kirana told him everything. They decided to went back to the palace along with the old lady.
At the palace, Candra Kirana told the whole story to her father, the King. The king summoned Dewi Galuh to the main hall. When she showed up in the main hall, she saw Candra Kirana and Raden Inu Kertapati was standing next to her father. She realized that her father knew what she did to her sister the moment she entered the room, so she run away from the palace into the forest. Unfortunately she felt into a cliff.
A couple weeks after that, Raden Inu Kertapati and Candra Kirana got married. The King celebrate it by helding a big wedding party. Everybody in their kingdom was invited. After that, they live happily ever after.
