"We ask Sandubaya to go hunting in the jungle, Your Majesty. Later we kill him. We tell Lala Seruni that her husband is killed by a wild animal."

"That's a great idea!" said the King." Let's go hunting now!"

Before they went to the jungle' they went to Sandubaya's house. They were surprised to see the King came to their home.

"I want to ask Sandubaya go hunting with us," said the King.

"Please don't go," asked Lala Seruni,

"Don't worry I'll be very careful. I will go with my horse. If my horse goes back home alone without me, it means I'm in trouble," said Sandubaya.

Later Sandubaya joined the King and his soldiers. When they arrived, the soldiers attacked Sandubaya. Sandubaya fell down from his horse. The soldiers attacked Sandubaya cruelly. He could not fight them. He slowly died.

The horse saw his master died. He ran fast. Shortly, the horse arrived at Sandubaya's house. Lala Seruni was so sad to see the horse went home without her beloved husband.
