(Pohon Pemberi)
Pada zaman dahulu berdiri satu kerajaan yang makmur dan damai. Dalam wilayah kerajaan itu terapat pohon besar yang menjulang tinggi yang diberi nama “EU BÖWÖ” (pohon pemberi). Letaknya cukup strategis bagi banyak orang. Setiap hari semua makhluk hidup dating dibawah daun rindang pohon tersebut utnuk berteduh. Burung dan hewan lain hinggap di pohon itu dan minta pemberian. Daun pohon itu melambai-lambai sepertinya memanggil sekalian makhluk di bumi mengokohkan persatuan dan kesatuan. Pohon tersebut cukup adil dalam memberikan rezeki, sehingga tidak seorangpun manusia miskin dan melarat. Pohon tersebut dinamai oleh masyarakat “Pohon pemberi rezeki”.
Suatu ketika saat fajar menyingsing
sekalian makhluk bersuka ria menyambut pagi hari yang cerah. Datanglah bertamu
seekor binatang namanya Lito-lito
(ulat) kecil kepada Eu Böwö (pohon
pemberi) hendak meminta sesuatu agar dia dapat menjelma menjadi seekor ayam
jantan. Pohon pemberi (Eu Bowo) mengabulkannya lalu diberi nama “Si Jago”.
Ayam jago pergi dengan gagahnya, berniat
hendak membunuh ayam-ayam dalam kerajaan. Si Jago secepat kilat telah tiba di
halaman Istana Raja, dia melihat ribuan ayam hidup santai di halaman kerajaan.
Tanpa perhitungan dan rasa kasih saying terhadap sesame, si jago terbang
menghajar semua jantan dan betina. Dengan kesaktiannya ribuan ayam mati dan
yang lain bersembunyi. Melihat kenyataan itu putera Baginda Raja memerintahkan
para Hulubalang mengejar ayam Jago untuk dibunuh. Si Jago terbang ke angkasa
menuju Eu Böwö (pohon pemberi).
Segala peristiwa diceritakannya, dan si jago memohon agar pohon pemberi
mengubah wujudnya menjadi seekor kambing, lalu si Jago menjelma menjadi seekor
kambing, diberi namanya : “Hitam”.
Hitam meloncat-loncat kegirangan lalu
pergi meninggalkan Eu Böwö. Saat si
Hitam tiba di tempat kawanan kambing, gembala sedang istirahat, kesempatan itu
tidak dilewatkan oleh Hitam untuk membunuh semua kambing jantan dan betina,
ratusan yang mati, puluhan ekor luka-luka. Para gembala terkejut dan sedih
melihat ratusan kambing yang mati. Hitam secepatnya kilat lari menyelinap. Pada
pagi hari Hitam menceritakan segala peristiwa yang terjadi pada Eu Böwö bahwa gembala ternak berniat
membunuhnya. Hitam mohon kepada “pohon
pemberi” agar wujudnya menjelma menjadi seekor kuda diberi nama: “Merah”.
Merah lalu pergi meninggalkan Eu Böwö bermaksud membunuh semua kuda
bahkan manusia. Dari kejauhan tampak olehnya seekor kuda ditunggangi oleh
seorang pemuda. Merah mempercepat langkahnya hendak melampiaskan niat buruknya.
Ketika berdekatan secepat kilat kedua kaki merah menyerang kuda tadi akhirnya
kuda itu mati dan penunggangnya luka berat. Merah meneruskan perjalanan menuju
Istana Raja dan memasuki gelanggang kuda, terjadilah puluhan yang luka dan
cacat. Para Hulubalang dan prajurit mengejar si merah. Beberapa peluru
menghujani kea rah Merah namun karena kesaktiannya trak ada satupun peluru yang
menembusnya. Peristiwa itu diceritakannya kepada Eu Böwö dan memohon agar ia menjelma seorang pemuda sakti. Merah
menjelma menjadi seorang pemuda dan diberi nama: “Sabe’e Tandro” (keras kepala).

Tandro pergi
meninggalkan Eu Bowö mengenakan
pakaian pendekar sakti menuju Istana Raja yang sedang merayakan pesta ulang
tahun. Dengan gagah dan perkasa Sabe’e
Tandro memasuki Istana, langsung menghadap Baginda Raja menyampaikan maksud
kedatangannya. Sabe’e Tandro memperkenalkan
diri bahwa ianya seorang Putera Raja dari kerajaan yang sungguh jauh dari
kerajaan ini, bermaksud menggantikan kedudukan Baginda Raja. Mendengar ucapan
itu Baginda Raja terkejut dan terperajat dari tempat duduknya, lalu berkata:
maksud saudara tentu saja ditolak oleh rakyatku. Sabe’e Tandro memberi tawaran kedua: Bila secara damai ditolak,
satu-satunya jalan hanya peperangan. Akhir opsi terakhir adalah terjadilah
peperangan yang dasyat, gempar diseluruh kerajaan. Ratap dan tangis terdengar
dimana-mana, darah manusia mengalir ke sungai. Pada hari ketiga Panglima besar
kerajaan member isyarat tandah menyerah. Segera diadakan perundingan dan
hasilnya Sabe’e Tandro dinobatkan
sebagai Raja. Nama kebesarannya “Raja
Tandrofö” (Raja yang bertahan pada pendapat).

secara kekerasan (Diktator) seluruh rakyat menderita bahkan ribuan orang mati
kelaparan. Raja Tandrofö berniat
membangun Istana Raja, sebuah bangunan pencakar langit megah dan istimewa.

Mendengar ucapan itu seluruh rakyat bersedih, namun tak seorangpun yang berani
menolak perintah Raja, kendatipun mereka tahu bahwa Eu Böwö sumber rezeki.
Eu Böwö di gergaji oleh tukang kayu, namun
setengah hari mereka tidak berhasil, kulitnya saja tidak tergores pada jenis
alat yang mereka gunakan, Eu Böwö menangis ia bertanya: siapa yang menyuruh
kalian membunuh aku? Para tukang menjawab: Raja
Tandrofö, pohon pemberi menjawab: suruh Raja
Tandrofö disini, ada sesuatu yang hendak saya sampaikan. Mendengar berita
itu Raja Tandrofö sangat marah lalu
mengenakan baju tanda kebesaran dan kerispusaka di tangannya. Ketika Raja Tandrofö tiba dibawa pohon pemberi (Eu Böwö), Eu Böwö berseru: Saudara Raja Tandrofö: budi baik kau balas dengan kejahatan”.

bumi dan seluruh rakyat, inilah asal-usul Raja
Tandrofö; Raja Tandrofö menjelma menjadi seekor kuda, kuda menjelmalah
menjadi kambing, kambing menjelmalah menjadi ayam, ayam menjelmalah menjadi Lito-lito (ulat). Semua terjadi yang
