According to Mbah Wajib, the residents of Kedungsatriyan village have been abstaining from eating rice field eels since the time of the saints.
In ancient times, saints had extraordinary powers and supernatural powers to do extraordinary things, and sometimes things that could not be explained logically in general.
This legend, began one night in the rainy season hundreds of years ago.

A rice seed thief came, sneaking around in the rice field embankment.

After some time, the guardian said, “ Who is there? Why is it so noisy?” The thief immediately replied, “ I am a rice field eel! ”
At that moment, the rice seed thief really became a rice field eel.
Realizing this incident, the guardian muttered that since that night the residents of Kedungsatriyan village were not allowed to eat rice field eels.
The advice of the saint is truly carried out by the residents of Kedungsatriyan to this day.
