I Lutung Maling Ketimun (Der Gurke klauende Affe)

ca. 1935 | Helene Potjewijd

Pucung sets up a scarecrow, looking like a man and with its body smeared with rice paste. After a short while, the monkey breaks into the garden again, discovers the scarecrow, jumps up onto it with joy, and sticks fast.
