According to folklore from East Java, at dusk, Den Bagus Sandhekala will take a walk. Den Bagus Sandhekala likes to eat tiger heads or thief heads. Den Bagus Sandhekala also likes to eat the heads of children who like to play outside the house at dusk. Den Bagus is a nickname for respected young people, while Sandhekala itself means twilight or dusk.
Once upon a time in a forest there lived a widow named Mbok Randha with her son named Sentot. Mbok Randha has a lot of fat domestic goats.
One day Mbok Randha's son, Sentot, played on the edge of the forest. Mbok Randha called her son to go home because it was getting dusk. "Sentot, go home, son. It was already dusk. It's not good for children to be outside the house at dusk. "
"What mom? I'm still looking for grasshoppers for bird food. " answered Sentot.
"Come home, son. At dusk like this, Den Bagus Sandhekala usually goes for a walk. Den Bagus likes to eat tiger heads and thief heads. Den Bagus also likes to eat the heads of children who are still playing outside the house at dusk. " said Mbok Randha. Cash heard her mother's words, Sentot felt very scared and quickly ran back home.
Unnoticed by Sentot and Mbok Randha, there was a tiger and two thieves who secretly stalked Mbok Randha's goats. The tiger and the two thieves were tempted by the fat Mbok Randha goats.
After Mbok Randha and her son Sentot entered the house, the tiger entered the goat pen. But the tiger was afraid that Sandhekala would be inside the goat pen. The tiger remembered Mbok Randha's words that Sandhekala liked to walk around and eat the tiger's head.
When the tiger is afraid of Sandhekala, two thieves enter the goat pen. "Oh dear! Is this Sandhekala who likes to eat tiger heads? I was destined to be eaten by Sandhekala. I give up." said the tiger silently.
"Let's choose the big one, Kang." the thief talked with his friend. They then slapped the tiger, tied it tightly and then carried it out. The tiger remained silent for fear of Sandhekala. The thief thinks the tiger is a big goat, while the tiger thinks that the thief is Sandhekala.
"Kang ... the goat is striped. This is not a goat but a tiger. " When walking carrying a tiger, a thief who walked behind realized that what they were carrying was a tiger. The two thieves felt frightened then threw their arms to the ground and ran helter-skelter. Because it's dark, they both collide. One fell into the toilet and the other fell into the river.
The tiger was stunned to see the two thieves running helter-skelter. "Oh, it turns out they are not Sandhekala. You know, I just eat them. " The tiger then bit into a rope to untie its body and then went into the forest. The tiger did not steal Mbok Randha's goat.
