    SANGKURIANG

    Once upon a time in West Java, Indonesia, lived a princess named Dayang Sumbi. She was
    beautiful and kind-hearted. Her hobby was weaving cloth. But sometimes she could be very
    lazy. One day her weaving tool fell, but she was too lazy to get it herself. She shouted out,
    “Can anybody help me get my tool? If you are a female, I will take you as my sister. If you
    are a male, I will marry you!”

    A male creature came, but it was a dog. His name was Tumang. He happily brought the tool
    to her. Dayang Sumbi was very surprised, but she kept her promise. She married the dog.
    Tumang was actually a man who had been cursed by a witch to become a dog. But at certain
    times Tumang could turn back to be a normal man. Several months later they had a son. His
    name was Sangkuriang. He was a handsome and healthy boy. He always played with his very
    loyal dog, Tumang. He did not know the he was actually his father, because Dayang Sumbi
    hid the secret from him. Sangkuriang liked to hunt in the woods of course with Tumang.

    One day Dayang Sumbi asked him to bring home a deer’s heart. “Sangkuriang, will you hunt
    for a deer today? I want to eat a deer’s heart so much.”
    “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 woods with his arrow and his beautiful dog, Tumang.

    But after hunting for several days, he could not find any deer in the woods. He did not want
    to disappoint his mother and was thinking hard how to bring home a deer’s heart. Suddenly,
    he had a very bad idea. He killed Tumang! Then, he brought his heart home and gave it to
    Dayang Sumbi.

    “Sangkuriang, are you sure it’s a deer’s heart? You can’t cheat me! It’s Tumang’s heart, isn’t
    it? Why did you kill him?” Dayang Sumbi got very angry and hit Sangkuriang’s forehead
    with a piece of wood and told him to leave. With a bad wound on his forehead, Sangkuriang
    left the village.

    Many years later, Sangkuriang grew up to be a powerful man. One day he went back to his
    village. He met a beautiful young woman there, and he fell in love with her. It was Dayang
    Sumbi! She never got order because she had been granted eternal youth by the gods.
    Sangkuriang did not know that she was his mother, so he came to her and proposed to marry
    her.

    When he walked closer to her, Dayang Sumbi got very surprised. She saw the scar in
    Sangkuriang’s forehead, and soon she knew that he was her son, who left her a long time ago.
    She told him the truth and tried hard to explain it to him, but he did not believe her. She did
    not want to break his heart, so she accepted his proposal but gave him an impossible thing to
    do.

    “Sangkuriang, if you want to marry me, I want you to build a lake and a big boat in one night.
    I need them for our honeymoon.
    “What! Impossible! But, it’s okay. For you I will do it.
    With the help of genies, Sangkuriang tried to build them. By midnight he finished the lake
    and then started making the boat. Dayang Sumbi was thinking hard to find a way to fail him.
    Before dawn, she asked the people in the village to burn the woods in the East, and the light
    made all the cocks crow.

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

    “Sangkuriang, you can’t finish your work. It’s mean that you can’t marry me. You know?”
    said Dayang Sumbi.
    “You cheated me! You make the light, so that my troops go.” Shouted Sangkuriang.

    Sangkuriang got very angry and he kicked the boat upside down. Then the boat turned out to
    be Mount Tangkuban Perahu.
