Malin Kundang
Once upon time, there was a boy named Malin Kundang. He lived with
his mother in a very poor condition. They looked fire wood in the
forest nearly to make a living. Malin Kundang was so unsatisfied with
their bad luck. That’s why he decided to go to another city to look
for a better life.
Not long afterwards, Malin asked his mother’s permission to go to a
big city. He promised to come back soon with much money. His mother
permitted him and always prayed for him. In his journey, Malin Kundang
joined a merchant in a big ship.
Actually, Malin was a diligent boy. He worked hard to get much money
and everything changed. He became a rich merchant. His business
partner asked him to marry his daughter. Malin agreed. Then Malin and
his business partner’s daughter got married. They had honeymoon and
traveled all over the world.
Many years later, Malin’s ship anchored in his village. Many
villagers welcome his arrival and admired his glorious ship.
Furthermore, they wanted to see his success. Malin’s mother heard that
her son had come back. She was very glad and eager to see him. With a
happy smile in her lips, she went to the seashore to meet her son. Do
you know what happened when she met Malin? He pretended that he
didn’t know her. Of course she was very very sad and disappointed.
In her desperation she cried to God to punish Malin. She cursed Malin
Kundang and his ship to be a stone. Since then, people can see the
big stone in the beach.
