Once upon a time, In a village in Terang Bulan country, there was a widower named Pak Belalang. He is not a poor man, even a lazy man. Pak Belalang had a son named Belalang. Belalang is expected to earn a living. Although still a child, but Belalang work diligently. Throughout the day Pak Belalang spent his time with sleep alone. The matter of eating and drinking it is up to Belalang. Belalang make a living by working to help the villagers.
One day, Belalang was struck by two thieves. They were fleeing the buffalo belonging to the villagers. Belalang piled the thief into their hiding place. Then he came home and told his father. But his dad told him not to interfere. He said, "I know where the buffalo is hidden, what if you disguised as an astrologer, I can tell the villagers, the dad is good at looking, and we'll find the buffalo, of course we'll get a decent wage!" "Well, yes," said Pak Belalang.
The next day, the villagers excited by losing their buffalo. They complain to the the headman. It so happened that Belalang was there. "My dad is good at checking in. Of course he can please find the buffalo," said Belalang. "Is it right?" asked the the headman. "Then let's see him." They flocked to the house of Pak Belalang.
Pak Belalang pretended to disguise himself as an astrologer and said that the buffalo was in the upper reaches of the village where there was a merbau staple. The villagers went to the place and it was true that the buffalo was there. They gave her a variety of gratitude. The name of Pak Belalang is fanciful and many people are looking for him. His life the pub turns to be happy and he does not need to work anymore.
the sultan "my lord," said the captain. "We shall seek clairvoyance with the oracle here, and if my lord wins, our vessel belongs to my lord, but if you are defeated, your land will become our conquest."
Sultan of the Terang Bulan country immediately summoned his dignitaries and reveled in search of agreement. A superior gives advice to ask Pak Belalang to represent Terang Bulan country. The Sultan also agreed and gave the Pak Belalang a visit.
Not long afterwards, Mr Pak Belalang entered facing. He was trembling with fear. He was worried if his secret was revealed. All this time he's just pretending to be a naïve. "Hi Mr. Grasshopper!" "Are you a reliable oracle?" "Yes, my lord!" said Pak Belalang with fear. "Nice!" sultan's decree. Your Majesty feels the joy of oracle from the Land of the Light of the Moon clashing with oracle from the land of Antan Kesuma.
Sultan Terang Bulan also came. The king hopes that Pak Belalang can kill a niral from Antan Kesuma.
"First question!" said the nuke of the country Antan Kesuma. "What's an animal, when the morning has four legs, when the middle of day has two legs and when the evening is legged?" "Human!" said Pak Belalang with cage. "Because when he was a child he crawled, as he grew up, walked and when he was old, with a stick!" The people of the Terang Bulan country cheered cheerfully. The response of Pak Belalang is correct.
"The second!" said the nobleman of Antan Kesuma country.
"How to decide which one is the end and which is the base of this wood?" He showed me a straight and equally large piece of wood. Pak Belalang took the water. He also put the wood into the water. "This is the end and this is the base," said Pak Belalang. "The root of this wood drowned first because he is heavier!" Pak Belalang's answer is correct. Actually, Pak Belalang already know all the answers, because his son, Belalang, has heard the adventure of the country Antan Kesuma fortune today.
Finally, the noble country Antan Kesuma admitted defeat. Their ship was forced to be handed over to the sultan of Terang Bulan country. They are forced to return to the country Antan Kesuma with just a waist. Sultan Terang Bulan country is very heartened with Pak Belalang. The Majlis inaugurated Pak Belalang to the Royal Oracle. Pak Belalang then married with the princess of the king named Laila Sari. Finally, Pak Belalang and his son lives peacefully in the sultan's palace.
