In the old days there lived a poor grandfather with his little son. His wife died a long time ago. The old man was sad thinking about the fate of his young child. He felt that his life would not be long but he had nothing to pass on to his child other than the knowledge that came from his teacher first.
Finally the grandfather called his son. "Son, come here father will inherit knowledge to you. Memorize the aji that I will teach you. Later this aji-aji will give you glory. The sound of the aji-aji is: Hi Hi, I Know. " The grandfather then explained that he felt he would not live in the world any longer. Hear the words of his father. The child then cried.
Three days later the grandfather passed away. His son feels sad because he is now an orphan. To get rid of sadness, the child then decided to migrate to the royal capital. Along the way he continued to chant the teachings taught by his father. He continued to carry out his father's advice even though he did not know the use of the aji-aji. Finally he made it to the royal capital.
Upon arrival in the royal capital, he felt very tired and his stomach felt hungry. Finally he tried to beg for food and drink to anyone he met, but no one gave him food and drink. Feeling very tired, the child then sat resting in front of a barber who was shaving someone. Without knowing the barber was actually shaving the king. Feeling hungry, thirsty and tired, the child then remembered his father's advice. He then recited the aji-aji "Hi Hi I Already Know."
Hearing the child's words, the handyman immediately trembled, his face suddenly turned pale. The barber then prostrated before the king and begged for mercy. "Please forgive the king, my God."
"What are you begging for mercy?" king of astonishment.
"Please forgive the king. I am only a messenger. The patih wanted to be king and ordered my servant to kill the king. But it seems like the little boy knows about this murder plot. " said the barber, pointing to the child. Actually, the child did not know about the murder plot because he only recited the teachings taught by his father.
The king was surprised to hear the barber's confession. The palace guards immediately secured the barber in prison. The king then called the little boy to thank him. "Thank you, son, you saved my life. In return, I will give you a lot of gifts. " Not long after, the Patih was arrested and given a severing sentence. Thus the folklore of East Java about a child who obeys his parents' advice.
