the origin of the ngebel lake (Ponorogo city)

Long time ago, there were those who accepted a husband who lived in a village that accepted a dragon child. The dragon was given the new name Klinting. Seeing the strangeness of Klinting's new form, they did not dare to stay in this village for fear of being the material of neighbor gossip. The prayer was heard.

The condition that must be done by Baru Klinting is to conduct a 300-year hermitage by moving it to Mount Semeru. Unfortunately, the length is less than a span to encircle the whole mountain. So, to overcome this deficiency, he connected / stuck out his tongue until it reached the tip of his tail. Apparently, the requirements to be human are not only that. Dewa asked the father to cut the new tongue of Klinting who was imprisoned. Only Klinting who meditated did not refuse anyway for the sake of his goodness to become human. When the time for asceticism was almost over, there was a village head who would marry his child.

The village head was busy preparing everything, especially the matter of dishes. That said, they will hold a very luxurious and very large wedding. To cover the shortage of food, people voluntarily help hunt in the forest. Some are looking for fruits, branches / firewood to game animals such as deer, rabbits, and partridges. For a long time the people have been hunting, but they don't get any hunting results Unintentionally, there was a group of people who were resting because they were tired of hunting swinging their machetes on the fallen tree. However, how surprised they turned out that machetes were actually covered in blood. From the stump of fallen tree, fresh blood flowed.

 In fact, they just realized that what they were cutting was not a fallen tree but a giant snake / snake. Seeing this, residents also took to the meat to be cooked at the wedding.Then, Klinting then returned to the party. "O citizens, look at my hand. I have a piece of meat. If you are able to win the contest I organized, then take this meat. However, if you are not able to, then give all the meat you cook me, "said Klinting. Residents also tried one by one but all were unable to pull out a stick. Unfortunately, residents still do not want to return the meat they have cooked. "Look at your greed, people. Look at your ignorance of others, of people with disabilities like me. You don't even want to give me back my rights! You know, the meat that you cook is my flesh when I become a dragon. Then, you are entitled to get a reward! "Just Klinting immediately pulled out the stick. Oddities ensued. From the stick poured water, continuously until it drowned the village. The puddle of water turns into a lake, while the parents who feed it are freshly saved because they climbed a mortar. Even since then, Baru Klinting has changed again to become a snake by wrapping its body at the bottom of the lake which has a narrow shape at the bottom. At present, the lake has entered the Ngebel area and is famous for the Ngebel lake.
