According to folklore, Kyai Tapiogo was a Begedhe from Tingan village, East Java. He is from Sendang Darajat. One day, Kyai Tapiogo did alms on earth and invited Begedhe, Kapal village. Begedhe the two villages were initially just chatting normally but gradually the two argued with each other. Finally Begedhe Kapal village lost the debate.
Besides being wealthy, Begedhe Kapal village also has a large stature. Unable to accept defeat, Begedhe Kapal village challenged Kayi Tapiogo who was a small man to lift her up to the Kapal village. If Kyai Tapiogo was strong in lifting him, then Begedhe Kapal village would give all his wealth. "All right, you win this debate. But can you lift me to the village of Kapal? If you are able, then I will give all my wealth to you. "

"Well. I accept your challenge. " Kyai Tapiogo undertook the challenge. He then sneaks or sleeps Begedhe Ship village using a spell. After falling asleep, Kyai Tapiogo then carried her to the village of Kapal. Thus, Begedhe Ship village slept while being carried. In the middle of a rice field, Kyai Tapiogo felt tired. He then rested for a while while he put the sling on the ground. Begedhe The ship is still sleeping soundly which in Javanese is called "hoop". That is why the rice field is now called the Short block rice field.
After taking off in the rice fields, Kyai Tapiogo carried the Begedhe Ship again and finally arrived at the village of the Ship. On arrival at Begedhe Ship's house, Kyai Tapiogo put Begedhe Ship on his bed, then he woke him up. After waking up, Begedhe Kapal realized that Kyai Tapiogo had succeeded in carrying him to the house, so he had to keep his promise to give up all his wealth.
"Hah! Apparently you were able to lift me to my house. Alright I will keep my promise by giving all my wealth to you. " Finally Begedhe Ship acknowledged his defeat and promised to give up all his wealth.
However, Kyai Tapiogo refused to accept the entire wealth of the Begedhe Ship. He only asked for a piece of land to the north of the village of Kapal, as a dumping ground. "I don't need your wealth. Just give me a piece of land in the northern part of the village of the Ship to take a dump. " Kyai Tapiogo then made regional boundaries and the area was named Ngodok. In addition, the village of Kapal and the village of Tingan made an agreement stating that the Tingan villagers were not to have an arranged marriage with the people of the Kapal village. Whoever dares to break, then he will not survive. Since then the Tingan village and Kapal village people will visit each other if they are holding an earth alms program.
