A long time ago, people in Magetan East Java were lucky because their land was fertile. However, since they did not have enough water, the villagers could not plant a lot of trees. Therefore, the villagers occasionally had to walk very far away to find water.
Every morning, the head of the village asked several young men to find water. One afternoon, the young men came home with good news, “There was a water spring, not too far from here but very difficult to get to.”
“Who dares to go there?” asked the head of the village. Several young men raised their hands and said, “We will go there, Sir.” And they went to the water spring. They were right. The place was not easy to reach. They had to be very careful.
Finally, on arrival, they saw a girl and they were surprised. They all thought that a girl could not go there. “Maybe she is not really human, maybe she is an angel,” said one man. “Come on, let’s approach her,” said another man. Strangely, before the men reached her, she disappeared.
“Look! She is over there!” and pointing at the place. They immediately ran to her again, the girl disappeared. “Look! What is that? It is shining!” said one man. Exactly on the spot where the girl was standing, they found a big diamond. The diamond was next to the well. So, they took the diamond home with a lot of water.
When they showed the diamond to the head of the village, he said, “Our great grandparents named this kind of diamond Manikan. Since the diamond was found next to the water spring, let’s name the water spring Manikan.”
Everybody agreed. Since then the area was named Manikan. The word Manikan had changed into Panekan. Now Panekan has become a great area in East Java. The people are happy because they have fertile land.
