KEEPER OF KAPUAS RIVER
The book contains two stories, the first story entitled
“Keeper of Kapuas River” comes from the story entitled “The
Folktale from Central Kalimantan”. The book, which is a
collection of the stories from various regions in Central
Kalimantan, were published by the Department of Education and
Cultural in 1982 in 82 pages. The story entitled "Keeper of
Kapuas River" was taken from Central Kalimantan folklore. The
original title of the story is "Curse of Mintin Island’s King".
The second story entitled “Intan Pusaka”, the original title
of the story is "Hanaut Island and Lepeh Island". The author takes
it from the same literature. Both stories are almost the same, they
told about the legend in Central Kalimantan. The moral value of
the story is we should not waste the trust, keep it any time.
Hopefully, the story of “Keeper of Kapuas River” and
“Intan Pusaka” can enrich the treasure of Indonesian story.
