Moral and Cultural Values in the Story of Putri Pukes from Central Aceh

Abstract

Princess Pukes is the small kingdom's beloved girl and the only child. Because she denied his mother, who said she should not look back when escorted to the groom's house before passing through the Pukes area. But because she couldn't stand her parents' choice, the princess accidentally looked back, suddenly lightning struck, and the rain was weighty. So Putri Pukes took shelter in the cave. Inside the cave, Putri Pukes stood in a corner because of her cold body temperature. Slowly the princess's body hardened and turned into stone. The prince who entered first heard the news that the princess had turned to stone. Enthusiastically, he prayed to be turned into stone. Ultimately, the love story between Princess Pukes and the prince ends tragically.
