Once upon a time, there was a widow lived in West Java. She was the richest person in the village. She had a very big house fill with a lot of jewellery. She also had many servants working for her. Nyai Bagendit was also known for her bad attitude. She did not like to help others.Whenever the villagers needed some money, they borrowed the money from her. However, when they returned it, the villager had to pay double. Nyai Bagendit also hated beggars. She thought that beggars were lazy people.
One day the old woman beggar came to her house, Nyai Bagendit immediately to ask her to go. “Go away you lazy old woman! Go out of my house!” “Please, Nyai, give me some money or just give me some food. I'm so hungry,” said the beggar.“Food? You asked for food? This is my house not a restaurant. Go now! I dont want to see you here! Nyai Bagendit then threw a stone to the old beggar.”Then she he said, “Nyai Bagedit, I know you are the riches person in this village. You have anything but you never help other people. You are not grateful to God. Wait for the punishment from God. You will be punished!” Then the old beggar left Nyai Bagedit's house.“Ha ha ha! You are right. I'm the richest person here. So no one can punnish me, not even God can punish me!” Nyai Bagendit was very arrogant.
Then, not long after that, an earhquake happened. Her house fell down. Nyai Bagendit cried for help.“Help me! Somebody please help me!” But nobody listened her crying for help. Nobody in the village felt the earthquake. amazingly, the earthquake only happened in Nyai Bagendit's house. The land was opened. It was so big that the entire Nyai Bagendit's house, and all her wealth were gone.The villagers just watches what happened to Nyai Bagendit and her house. They were amazed. They knew that God punished Nyai Bagendit for behaving badly and never helped other people.
Slowly, the place where Nyai Bagedit's house stood became lake. Since then, people named the lake as Situ Bagendit It means Lake of Bagendit.
