Once upon a time, ancient times in the area of Central Java Province stood the kingdom of Jenggala. The King has a crown prince named Raden Putra. Raden Putra already has a wife named Dewi Candra Kirana. Dewi Candra Kirana is known for her beautiful face.
"My son, I want you to replace my father as the King of Bengal." The King wants that in the future Raden Putra will succeed him as King of Jenggala.
"Father, Ananda is not ready to become king." Raden Putra refused. He actually left the kingdom of Jenggala alone without inviting his wife, Dewi Candra Kirana.
Dewi Candra Kirana felt very sad after her husband's departure. He then left the palace to look for her beloved husband. Dewi Candra Kirana disguised as an ordinary village woman. In the midst of his wandering, he met a rich widow named Mbok Randa Kawulus. Mbok Randa Kawulus has three daughters named Kleting Abang, Kleting Wungu and Kleting Biru.
Appointed Children By Mbok Randa Kawulusan
Dewi Candra Kirana was later adopted as a child by the rich widow. Mbok Randa Kawulus named Dewi Candra Kirana as Kleting Kuning. Mbok Randa Kawulus already considers her as the youngest child.
The three Yellow Kleting sisters are very jealous of their beauty. As a result, they often misbehave for him. Because of his hatred, they told Yellow Zippers or Dewi Candra Kirana to wear smelly, dirty clothes, so he looked like a maid. Every day they told Kleting Yellow to do homework while they themselves lazed around. As a result the Yellow Kleting body has an unpleasant odor because it always does dirty work so it does not have much time to care for itself.
One day Mbok Randa Kawulus heard the news that Mbok Randa Dadapan from Dadapan village had an adopted son, a very handsome young man. Ande Ande Moss name. Ande Ande Lumut's good looks has made many parents come to Mbok Randa Dadapan to match his son to their daughter.
Mbok Randa Kawulus wishes that one of her children could become Ande Ande Lumut's wife. He ordered his three children to go to Dadapan Village, to meet Mbok Randa Dadapan while he told him to stay at home. Immediately Kleting Abang, Kleting Wungu and Kleting Blue went to the village of Dadapan. They wore beautiful clothes to attract Ande Ande Lumut. Kleting Abang is wearing red clothes, Kleting Wungu is wearing purple clothes and Kleting Blue is wearing blue clothes.
Before arriving in the village of Dadapan, the three siblings felt confused when they were about to cross a wide river again with deep water. In the midst of confusion, suddenly appeared a giant crab named Yuyu Kangkang. Yuyu Kangkang offered to help cross all three. It's just, Yuyu Kangkang proposed conditions they want to be kissed and kissed. "If you want me to kiss and kiss me, I'll help get you across the river." said Yuyu Kangkang.
Without thinking, all three agreed to these conditions. For them the most important thing is being able to cross the river to meet Ande Ande Lumut, their idol man. But after they arrived in the village of Dadapan and met with Ande Ande Lumut, they were very disappointed because Ande Ande Lumut refused to be their husband. Ande Ande reasoned that they could not maintain their honor because they wanted to be kissed by Yuyu Kangkang.
While at home, Kleting Kuning was begging Mbok Randa Kawulus to allow him to go to Dadapan village to meet Ande Ande Lumut. "Mbok, please let me go to the village of Dadapan so I can meet Ande Ande Lumut." Kleting Kuning begged Mbok Randa Kawulus. In her heart Yellow Kleting hopes to find her husband Raden Putra in the village of Dadapan.
"What! Do you want to meet Ande Ande Lumut? Are you not looking in the mirror? Your clothes are dirty, your body stinks. Ande Ande Lumut can't possibly be with you. " Mbok Randa Kawulus harassed Kleting Kuning. But because Kleting Kuning kept insisting, finally Mbok Randa Kawulus allowed him to go to the village of Dadapan.
Finally Kleting Kuning went to Dadapan village while still wearing dirty and smelly clothes. He has no other clothes worth wearing. Like his three adopted brothers, the Yellow Kleting was confused when he wanted to cross a wide river. Then Yuyu Kangkang appeared to offer help to cross it on condition that the Yellow Kleting would be kissed. But the Yellow Kleting refused.
"What! Do you want to be kissed and kissed me? I'm not willing! Go away! I don't need your help. " Yellow Kleting shouted at Yuyu Kangkang.
The Yellow Kleting then pulls out its flagship weapon, a magic stick. He struck the magic stick miligo to the river. Instantly also the river water became receding. Yuyu Kangkang screaming for help. He cannot live without water. Yuyu Kangkang begged the Yellow Kleting to return the river water to normal. In return he would cross it across the river. Kleting Kuning agreed and immediately returned the river water to its original condition. Then Yuyu Kangkang crossed it across the river without asking for a kiss.

Yellow Zips Meet Ande Ande Lumut
Finally the Yellow Kleting arrived in the village of Dadapan. There he found his three siblings looking very sad because they were rejected by Ande Ande Lumut. When Ande Ande Lumut saw the arrival of the Yellow Kleting, he immediately rushed over to it.
Mbok Randa Dadapan was very surprised to see the attitude of Ande Ande Lumut because of being indifferent to many women but was so excited when he saw the dirty and smelly Yellow Kleting. "Why are you kid? Many of the beautiful women you refuse are approaching dirty and stinky women. " said Mbok Randa Dadapan to Ande Ande Lumut.
"Mother, do not judge Yellow Zippers physically. He is able to maintain his honor. He refused to be kissed and kissed Yuyu Kangkang. Unlike other girls. He is the best wife for me. " answered Ande Ande Lumut.
Kleting Kuning knows very well the characteristics of her husband, Raden Putra. He was very sure that Ande Ande Lumut was Raden Putra, his beloved husband whom he had been looking for. Immediately in front of the crowd, Kleting Kuning revealed his disguise that he was Dewi Candra Kirana. Everyone who saw it was very surprised. They were very fascinated by the beauty of Dewi Candra Kirana. The uproar became even more so when Ande Ande Lumut opened his disguise that he was Raden Putra, Prince of the Kingdom of Jenggala. Both then returned to living happily as husband and wife.
Ande Ande Lumut is a folklore from Central Java. The storyline bears little resemblance to Raden Inu Kertapati's folklore.
