    The Legend of Tangkuban Perahu

    Once upon a time, in West Java, there lived a wise king and his beautiful daughter. Named Dayang
    Sumbi. She liked weaving very much. One day, she was weaving a cloth. Suddenly, one of her tool fell
    to the ground. She was very tired at the time so she was too lazy to take it.

    “Anybody there? Bring me my tool. I will give you special present. If you are female, I will consider you
    as my sister. If you are male, I will marry you”

    Suddenly a male dog named Tumang came. Dayang Sumbi was very surprised. She regretted her words
    but she could not deny it. So she had to marry Tumang and leave her father. Several months later they
    had a son. His name was Sangkuriang. He was a handsome and healthy boy.

    One day Dayang Sumbi wanted to eat deer’s heart.

    “Sangkuriang, will you hunt for a deer today? I want to eat a deer’s heart so much.” Asked Dayang
    Sumbi.

    “Of course, mom. Whatever you want, I will give it for you.” Replied Sangkuriang. “Tumang, where are
    you? Come on, we have to hunt for a deer.”

    Then Sangkuriang went to the wood with his arrow and his faithful dog, Tumang. But after several days
    in the wood Sangkuriang could not find any deer. They were all disappeared. Sangkuriang was
    exhausted and desperate.

    Sangkuriang then called Tumang and kill him. He did not know that Tumang was his father. At home he
    gave Tumang’s heart to her mother.

    “Sangkuriang, are you sure it’s a deer’s heart? You can’t lie to me! It is Tumang’s heart, isn’t it? Why did
    you kill him?” said Dayang Sumbi full of angry. She hit Sangkuriang at his head. Sangkuriang was
    wounded. There was a scar in his head. She also repelled her son. Sangkuriang left her mother in
    sadness.
    Many years passed and Sangkuriang became a strong young man. He wandered everywhere. One
    day he arrived at his own village but he did not realized it. There he met Dayang Sumbi. At the time
    Dayang Sumbi was given an eternal beauty by God, so she stayed young forever. Both of them did not
    know each other. So they fell in love and then they decided to marry.

    But then Dayang Sumbi recognized a scar on Sangkuriang’s head.

    “Sangkuriang, why there is a scar on your head?” asked Dayang Sumbi.

    “Oh, when I was a child, my mom hit me on my head.” Replied him.

    Dayang Sumbi was very shocked. She knew that Sangkuriang was his son. It was impossible for them to
    marry. So Dayang Sumbi gave him a very difficult condition.

    “if you want to marry me. I have a condition for you. I want you to build a lake and a big boat in one
    night. I need them for our honeymoon. Can you do that?”

    “What! Impossible!. But, it’s okay. For you, I will do it. I can do that!”..

    With the help of genies and spirits, Sangkuriang tried to build them. It was almost dawn when he nearly
    finished it. Meanwhile Dayang Sumbi kept watching on them. She was very worried when she knew
    this. So she made lights in the east.

    “Huh? Troops, stop your work! It’s already dawn. The sun will start to rise. Quickly, go home, go home!”
    said the chair of the genies. They left Sangkuriang alone.

    Sangkuriang was very angry. So he kicked the boat. Then the boat turned out to be Mount Tangkuban
    Perahu. It means boat upside down. From a distant it looks like a boat upside down.
