storage of agricultural produce. Then the robbery and the stolen goods are
distributed to poor people. One day, when Raden Said was in the forest, he met
an old grandfather who was carrying a stick. The old grandfather is Sunan
Bonang.
Because the
grandfather's cane looks like gold, then Raden Said seized the stick. Then
Raden Said said that the robbery would be given to the poor. But Sunan Bonang
did not confirm this and said to Raden Said that Allah did not accept bad
deeds. Then Sunan Bonang advised Raden Said, and at that time Raden Said wanted
to be a student of Sunan Bonang.
Sunan Bonang
then told Raden Said to meditate while guarding a stick that was planted on the
river bank. Raden Said could not leave before Sunan Bonang arrived. Three years
later, Sunan Bonang came and Raden Said was still guarding the stick. That was
