All the fairest maidens of Nagasare have been summoned so that the prince, Dhin Mantre, can choose a wife. Through her resourcefulness, the village girl Malate is able to outwit a lecherous monkey (and treacherous sisters). This so impresses the prince that he asks Malate to be his wife. As told by Pak Moh. Hasan Sasra
