The results of the analysis based on folklore (folklore) of the Archipelago in Indonesia, obtained include 1. People who always act and behave correctly always win, 2. People who act and behave in the wrong way will eventually perish, 3. God can make any miracle so that it doesn't happen. nothing is impossible for Him, 4. People who are arrogant, arrogant and have bad intentions will get reinforcements according to their actions. 5.
