net instead of a fish. Opening it, they found a lovely baby. They carried the baby home and took care of it and loved it as their own. As time went by the baby grew to a fine young man who accompanied the old man hunting in the wood. One day they saw a bird and a monkey. "What bird and monkey are they, Father?" "The bird is called Ciung and the monkey Wanara, my son." "In that case, then call me Ciung Wanara." The old man agreed as the meaning of both words suited to the character of the boy. One day he asked the old man why he was different from the other boys of the village and why they honoured him much. Then the old man told him that he had been driven to the place in a box and was not a boy from the village. "Your parents are surely noble people from Galuh." "In that case, I have to go thither in search for my real parents, Father." "That is right, but you should go with a friend. In the casket there is an egg. Take it, go to the wood and find a fowl to hatch it." Ciung Wanara took the egg, made for the wood as told by the old man, but he could not find a fowl. Instead he found Nagawiru who was kind to him and who offered him to hatch the egg. He laid the egg under the dragon and shortly after it was hatched. The chick grew up rapidly. Ciung Wanara put it in the basket, left the old man and his wife and made his journey to Galuh. In the capital of Galuh, cockfighting was a big sporting event, as both the king and its people loves it. King Barma Wijaya has an undefeated fierce and large rooster (cock) named si Jeling. In his pride, he proclaimed that he will grant any wish to any game-cock owner that could defeat his champion rooster. On arriving there the Ciung Wanara's chick had already grown into a big and strong game-cock. While Ciung Wanara was looking for the owner of the casket, he took part in royal cockfighting tournament. His cock never lost. The news about the young man whose rooster always won at cockfighting also reached Prabu Barma Wijaya who ordered Uwa Batara Lengser to find the young man.
