According to the story of the elders a few centuries ago, in a village lived a man named Datu Kalaka. He is very respected and respected people in the village because he became the leader of the community there. That is why he was given the title datu by the community.
Datu Kalaka is respected and respected by the people, but he is hated and feared by the Dutch. He strongly opposed the Dutch and led a lot of resistance fighting on the Dutch side. Strangely, despite the many times besieged Dutch troops, Datu Kalaka always escaped.
Spread the news in the community, especially among the Dutch, that Datu Kalaka has the power to eliminate himself. Although ordinary people can see, the Dutch still can not see. It intrigued the Dutch. With all the deceit, they try to capture Datu Kalaka. They promised great rewards to anyone who could give Datu Kalaka a life or death to the Dutch
Therefore, Datu Kalaka always moved to stay away from the Dutch. So, if the Dutch tried to find him in the village would have been in vain. However, at certain times, he returned home, gathered with his family and the surrounding community.
Because long enough the Dutch never come to his village, Datu Kalaka feel safe and no need to move shelter. He settled in the village while working on fields and gardens and leading the community.
One day, when Datu Kalaka was relaxing at home, someone came to tell that the Dutch troops entered the village. Of course they will capture Datu Kalaka.
As a datu, Datu Kalaka does not want to show his worries in the presence of others. He also does not want to save himself if people become victims of it. Therefore, he told the residents to save themselves. After that, he thought of a way to escape. Unfortunately, his residence was already besieged by the Dutch. There was no way he could get out of the ambush. If he gets caught, he can not imagine what punishment he will receive. Maybe he would be tortured, locked up, even killed. If he resisted, then suicide.
Datu Kalaka does not want to be arrested and does not want to die silly. He thinks fast and decides to take a reckless road. If the road is misplaced, the life of the stakes.
When Dutch troops entered the village, they were very curious because the village was quiet. The houses are empty. The Dutch were angry and vent their anger by destroying the village. They scattered and examined all the villages.
They were surprised when suddenly saw a strange but real sight in a hallway. A giant swing! Both sides of the long rags that were made into the swing were tied by wilatung (a large rattan-type stem) linked to the top of the bamboo (big bamboo) that is on the left-hand side of the aisle. They were shocked when they looked into the swing in the middle of the hall. In the swing lay the calm of a giant baby as big as a swing. The baby stared at the Dutch soldier standing around the swing, then closed his eyes. The baby's size is bigger and longer than the normal adult size. Whole body covered with fur, even a mustache and bearded.
All members of the Dutch troops were shaking with fear. If the baby just that big, let alone his parents. Dutch troops lost their courage. They immediately left the baby giant and the empty village to return to the base.
the giant turned out to be Datu Kalaka. Before the Dutch troops came, he had time to make a swing. Then, he lies down in the swing and behaves like a baby.
