In both those stories a boy rescues three animals and in the HPP he is then given a magic ring by the snake. The Si Cungkang I can't find much information on, but Hikayat Parang Puting is told in several Classical Malay manuscripts. The plot diverges from these type of stories, however, in that after getting the magic ring he has to fight an evil dragon who has abducted a princess with the aid of the good snake and the ring, as well as a magical machete.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
