T
here once was a beautiful village in Java, Indonesia. It was called Banyubiru. There lived a powerful man named Ki Buyut Banyubiru. One day, a young man named Joko Tingkir came to learn Ki Buyut Banyubiru's teachings. But Joko Tingkir wasn't the only person who wanted to learn. There was another man named Mas Manca who have also been wanting to learn from Ki Buyut Banyubiru. Everyday they learned to get and control powers by meditating. When Joko Tingkir has been living and learning in Banyubiru, he asked three people to take him home.

When he arrived home, there was a rampaging bull in his village. Suddenly, the sultan of Demak said, "if you defeat that bull, you shall take my place as sultan." Soon, Joko Tingkir was fighting with the bull and he almost wanted to run away. SMASH! Joko Tingkir made one final hit that defeated the bull. People cheered for him and thanked him.
