Keong Mas

Pada zaman dahulu, hiduplah seorang pemuda yang bernama Galoran. Ia merupakan salah
satu orang yang disegani karena mempunyai kekayaan dan kehormatan. Orang tuanya
merupakan bangsawan sehingga ia dapat hidup dengan mewah. Namun, ia merupakan
seseorang yang sangat boros dan setiap hari hanya menghambur-hamburkan harta orang
tuanya.

Suatu hari, orang tuanya meninggal dunia namun ia tidak peduli dan terus
menghabiskan uang seperti sebelumnya. Karena hidupnya begitu boros, maka harta
yang ia miliki habis dan ia menjadi seorang pengangguran. Banyak warga yang iba
terhadapnya, namun setiap kali ia mendapatkan pekerjaan, ia hanya bermalas-
malasan dan membuat ia sering dipecat. Beberapa bulan kemudian, terdapat seorang
janda kaya raya yang tertarik dengannya. Ia kemudian menikah dengan janda
tersebut. Tentu saja, ia sangat senang karena bisa hidup mewah seperti sebelumnya.

Janda tersebut mempunyai seorang anak perempuan yang sangat rajin dan pandai menenun.
Namanya Jambean, seorang gadis yang tenunannya sangat indah dan terkenal di desa
tersebut. Namun, Galoran tidak menyukai gadis tersebut, karena sang gadis selalu
menegurnya karena selalu bermalas-malasan. Karena begitu benci dengan Jambean, ia
mengancam akan menyiksa dan membunuhnya. Ia mengungkapkan rencana tersebut kepada
istrinya dan sang istri sangatlah sedih mendengar ancaman tersebut.

Mendengar berita tersebut, Jambean sangat sedih namun ia merelakan dirinya dibunuh oleh
sang ayah. Ia berpesan ketika ia telah meninggal, ia ingin agar mayatnya dibuang ke sebuah
bendungan dan jangan dikubur di dalam tanah. Setelah meninggal, sang ibu memenuhi
permintaan tersebut dengan membawa mayatnya ke bendungan dan menceburkannya. Di
dalam bendungan, tubuh dan kepalanya berubah menjadi udang dan siput atau disebut
sebagai keong dalam bahasa jawa.

Beberapa tahun kemudian, dua orang janda sedang mencari kayu bakar. Mereka adalah kakak
beradik dengan nama Mbok Rondo Sambega dan Mbok Rondo Sembagil. Ketika sedang mencari
kayu di hutan, mereka sangat terkejut karena menemukan keong dan siput yang berwarna
emas serta sangat indah. Keduanya kemudian membawa keong dan siput tersebut untuk
dipelihara di rumah.

Setelah mereka membawa siput tersebut dan menjadikannya sebagai hewan peliharaan,
selalu ada keajaiban setiap hari. Dapur mereka selalu dipenuhi makanan lezat ketika mereka
pulang dari bekerja. Mereka sangat heran, dan mereka ingin mengetahui siapa orang yang
selalu membuat makanan lezat tersebut. Mereka berpura-pura pergi bekerja dan bersembunyi
di belakang rumah. Beberapa saat kemudian, muncullah seorang gadis cantik dari dalam
keong tersebut dan ia mulai memasak makanan-makanan lezat.

Kedua janda tersebut kemudian secara diam-diam memegang gadis tersebut dan tidak
membiarkannya lagi untuk masuk ke dalam keong. Gadis itu ternyata adalah Jambean yang
telah dibunuh oleh ayahnya. Kedua janda tersebut kemudian mengizinkan Jambean untuk
tinggal bersama mereka. Karena kepandaiannya dalam menenun, ia sangat terkenal dan
seorang pangeran tampan tertarik kepadanya. Pada akhirnya, ia menikah dengan pangeran
dan hidup bahagia.
