Once upon a time there was a widow who lived in the village of Dadapan. She had a son whose name was Joko Tarup. Dadapan village was close to a wood so Joko Tarup liked to go to the wood. He liked hunting for animals with his blowpipe

One day when he was in the wood he saw a beautiful rainbow and he saw seven angels went down through it. He came closer and searched for them. The seven angels were swimming and taking a bath in a lake. Joko Tarup looked at them while hiding behind trees. .

Joko Tarup had an idea. He searched for their dress and when he found them he took one of them. As they had finished swimming and taking a bath, they looked for their dress. One of them could not find her dress. Her friends had to come back to heaven so they left her. She was crying while staying in the water. Joko Tarup approached her.

The angel's name is Nawang Wulan. Nawang Wulan said that she could not back to heaven without her dress. 

Then Joko Tarup went home to take her mother’s dress and gave it to Nawang Wulan. He asked her to stay at his house with his mother. Not long after that Joko Tarup married Nawang Wulan.

As an angel Nawang Wulan had spiritual power. She had an ability which far above human being. She could cook rice with just a bar of rice and when it had done the bowl will be full of rice. But there was one condition. The bowl must not be opened before it has done. Joko Tarup was very surprised with her wife’s ability. He was very curious about it. So when Nawang Wulan was away he opened the bowl. Consequently Nawang’s spiritual power disappeared. She had to cook as ordinary human being

Several months later Nawang Wulan gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Her name was Nawang Sih. The birth of Nawang Sih added happiness to Joko Tarup and Nawang Wulan.

Since Nawang Wulan could not cook efficiently anymore, she needed more rice than usual. The stock of rice is in their store room . Then one day when she took rice there she was very surprised. Nawang Wulan found her angel dress. It was hidden there under piles of rice.
