BECAUSE OF PLAYING TOPS

Once upon a time there was a kingdom called the kingdom of Tiangkerarasen. The land was safe and peaceful because the King ruled wisely. He had several sons and daughters of a beautiful consort.

But the peace and happiness of the family did not last long. One day, the king went for a walk on his beloved horse. On the way he meets a beautiful girl. After acquaintance the king took the girl home to the palace. The girl besides being beautiful turned out to have a soft temperament and a subtle speech. The king fell in love and married the girl. The actions of this king were opposed by the empress and his sons and daughters. But the king loved the girl too much.

After a few months had passed, the girl who had become the king's young wife became pregnant. The Empress and her sons and daughters grew angry. They really showed hatred towards the king. His sons and daughters had already dared to resist. This situation put a great pressure on the King. Then it occurred to the King to get rid of his young wife.

One day the King took his young wife for a walk in the woods. the two went down a large river in a boat. When the wife was enjoying the scenery, the king suddenly pushed her into the river. His wife was very surprised, and then clamored for help. Actually, the King's heart was very compassionate, but what could it be for him to want to end his tense relationship with the empress and his daughters.

Meanwhile downstream of the river a man saw a woman drifting away. He immediately rescued the woman who was none other than the young wife of king Tiangkerarasen.

Months change months of the year change of year. The king's son born to a young wife was a teenager. his mother gave the name Aji Bonar. The young man had a penchant for playing tops and hooking. He pursued the game of tops so that he really became very skilled. To the point that he seemed to be able to command the top to move where he liked it.

In picking fish he also studied it seriously, what kind of food the fish like in a river, so that he can acquire fish in large quantities.

Thus, Aji Bonar was a diligent and diligent young man, so he became skilled and an expert in his field of work.

One day he wanted to go to the land of Tiangkerarasen, because he heard the news that the son of the king of Tiangkerarasen liked to play tops with bets. One day he can play tops with the king's son. Aji Bonar's tops won, then he took the betting rooster to the house. The victory of Aji Bonar's tops made the king's son even more curious. Then he made an even bigger bet.

That's how the bet happened over and over again. From small bets to bets on a large house complete with contents. This match was won by Aji Bonar. The continuous defeat of the king's son did not deter him. Instead, he became more curious and determined to be able to defeat Aji Bonar's tops. Indeed, this king's son is already dark-eyed, he wants to want to get something easily without any hard work. So he likes to bet or gamble. Even though he is not very good at playing tops, he has never seriously studied something like Aji Bonar. The work of the king's son is more fun and lazy.

He was so vindictive to Aji Bonar. For several days he invited the master of playing tops to the palace. He learned until he was considered to be truly proficient. but learning after adolescence will definitely not be as good as Aji Bonar who learned the science of top games since he was a child. It is like the saying "learning as a child is like carving on a stone, learning in adulthood is like carving on water."

One day, after feeling truly proficient, the king's son gathered the entire people of the land of Tiangkerarasen at the tops game arena. Not to forget he invited the King, His Father. After all gathered, the king's son exclaimed.

"O my people, today I am risking this country and its contents to Si Aji Bonar. If he loses, he will return the entire victory obtained from me. If I am the loser then this country I will give him. He will rule this whole country. Do you guys agree?"

"Agree!" replied the one present in unison.

Soon the game started. The entire audience cheered for their respective choices. Aji Bonar's tops circled around very agilely and quickly turned off the tops of the king's son. Thunderous cheers greeted Aji Bonar's tops victory. That very day Aji Bonar became the king of the land.

On the contrary, the entire royal family was crying for having to lose the kingdom and all its contents. They couldn't pull out the bet because Baginda Raja also witnessed the bet firsthand. Only regrets they get.

A few days later he picked up his mother with the royal army. The whole people watched the motorcade. is also the son of the king who lost the bet. Beside him stood the original King.

The King was very embarrassed, for his beloved son had mortgaged him. Meanwhile, the banished son has become its king.

But Aji Bonar is a virtuous person. After being told that he was actually the king's son, he asked his mother that his father would be allowed to live in the palace. But the old king was embarrassed, for he himself was the one who used to dump his young wife. So the old king and his family lived outside the palace.

Gambling and betting should not be used as a goal in life. Thousands of stories have proven that there is no one whose life is prosperous because of gambling. Therefore a person who has no expertise will encounter difficulties in his life He is not so much useful to others. Whereas others will only appreciate us if we have skills and expertise in a certain field. therefore a person must hone his skills according to the talents he has.
