Once
upon a time, there lived a woman with her son. The child had an odd physical
shape. His body was similar to the pot. That's why people named him Joko
Kendil. Although Joko had an abnormal body, his mother loved him very much. He
also never regretted the fate of his son. Whatever prompted Joko, he always
tried to grant.
Joko grew up as a happy child. He was known as a playful child. But sometimes Joko was also naughty. He frequently went to the market, then sat near the merchant. He thought Joko was a potter. So he put some food on the Joko’s body. He also often sneaked into the party. People thought that Joko was a regular pot so that they put some food there. Then Joko went home quietly and brought food to his mother.
Joko’s mother was very angry. He thought Joko stole it. Joko explained clearly about this if everyone thought he was as a stoneware. His mother kept laughing.
When
Joko grew up, Joko’s body was still like a pot. But surprisingly, Joko would
ask his mother to find a wife for him. No half-hearted, Joko wanted king's
daughter as his wife. Of course, her mother was shocked. "Remember Joko,
we are poor people. Anyway, if you're not aware of your body shape, "asked
her mother. "Don’t worry, Mom. Trust me, everything will be fine. Again, I
ask for help, please propose the princess to be my wife, Mom, said Joko begging
his mother.
With a heart full of doubt, Joko’s mother went to the king. King had three beautiful daughters. Joko’s mother expressed her son wishes to the King. The king was not at all upset to hear her story. Then, the King went on the proposal to his three daughters.
The eldest daughter says, "I never want to, Father. I want a rich husband. "Middle daughter also says," My husband I want? A king like you father. "In contrast to the third brother, the youngest daughter just agreed the proposal with pleasure. The king was astonished. But since the youngest daughter agreed, he could not prevent the marriage.
Unfortunately, the youngest daughter was always teased her siblings. "Your husband walks like a ball rolling," sneered Eldest daughter. "Your husband is like a jar of water," sneered the Middle daughter. The youngest daughter was sad, but she tried to be patient and steadfast.
One day, the king held a stunt competition. But Joko couldn’t come. He told the king he was physically ill. The dexterity competition was followed by a lot of people, like the princes and commanders. They competed to ride horses and used weapons. Suddenly a gallant knight came. He was very handsome and agile in using weapons.
The eldest daughter and middle daughter loved to see. They fell in love with the knight. He returned mocking her sister, in her haste to marry Joko Kendil.
The youngest daughter ran to her room, crying. There, he saw a pitcher. Exasperation, she slammed the vase to pieces.
Gallant knights came into the youngest daughter’s room. He was looking for a pitcher, but the pitcher was already destroyed. Then he saw the youngest daughter sobbing. "What wrong with you my wife?" he said. Hear what he said the youngest daughter was shocked because her husband is Joko Kendil. Then the knight told her the truth. He was actually Joko Kendil, her husband. During this time he had to wear clothes in the form of a pitcher. But he could be back reincarnated into a warrior if a princess married him.
Once they knew that the handsome knight was Joko Kendil, how sorry the eldest daughter and middle princess. In contrast with the youngest daughter, he became very happy with Joko Kendil which had been transformed into a handsome man.
