Sangkuriang
Sangkuriang was a boy who liked to hunt and when hunting, he was always accompanied by
his dog named Tumang. Despite a Dog, Tumang actually an incarnation of the god and the
father of Sangkuriang.
One day, he got mad at Tumang for not pursuing the animals. Because of so angry, he then
expelled Tumang so the dog went into the woods.
He then returned to the palace and told the incident to her mother. Dayang Sumbi was so
angry and hit his head. Sangkuriang then disappointed and he decided to wander.
After hitting Sangkuriang, Dayang Sumbi felt so sorry and she always prayed and meditated
to get forgiveness from God. One day, God gave a gift because she was so diligent in
praying. The prize is a timeless beauty that would make Sumbi Dayang becoming young
forever.
After wandering for a dozen years, Sangkuriang returned home. When he reached the
kingdom, all had changed. He did not know what was happening. One day, he met a girl who
was so beautiful. The girl was actually a Sumbi Dayang, his own mother
Sangkurian fell in love with the girl and then proposed her. Because of the handsomeness that
was owned by Sangkuriang, then Dayang Sumbi also fell in love. One day, Sangkuriang want
to hunt and he asked Dayang Sumbi to fix the headband. However, Dayang Sumbi surprised
that her future husband had a head injury. Dayang Sumbi then realized that was the same
injury as her son who wandered away. She then noticed Sangkuriang face, and she was more
surprised to realize that her husband was Sangkuriang, her own son.
After those happenings, she immediately looked for ways to thwart the plan of making a
proposal. She then proposed two requirements to Sangkuriang. First, Sangkuriang should
stem the Citarum River. Secondly, she asked Sangkuriang to make a big canoe to cross the
river. Both of those conditions should be finished before sunrise.
At night, Sangkuriang asked for help to spirit creatures to complete all the work. Dayang
Sumbi secretly peeked at the job. Once the work was almost complete, Dayang Sumbi
ordered his forces to hold a very long red carpet to the east of the city.
The carpet made the light became red and Sangkuriang thought that the sun had risen. He
stopped his work and was very upset because all could not meet the requirements posed by
Dayang Sumbi. Using his strength, Sangkuriang broke the dam and the city became flooding.
His big canoe then crashed upside down and changed into a mountain named, Tangkuban
Perahu.
MALIN KUNDANG
Once upon a time, on the north coast of Sumatera lived a poor woman and his son, who
called Malin Kundang. His Father eventually died, and his mother lived alone as a poverty-
stricken old woman.
Malin Kundang grew up as a skillful young boy. He always helps his mother to earn some
money. One day, Malin Kundang decide going to overseas and promise to come back.
After several years had gone by, Malin Kudang finally decide to return to his village. He
arrived wearing fine clothes and traveling on one of his ships. Someone arriving in such
splendor was uncommon to the villagers, so many of them went down to the harbor to view
the sight.
One of the villagers recognized Malin Kundang form a scar that he had received while
playing as a child. Upon recognizing the mark, the villager went to tell Malin Kundang's
mother that her son had returned. Excitedly, she went to the shore and recognized her son
the minute her eyes fell on him.
When the older woman called him her son, he refused to believe that he head such an old
woman as a mother. His disbelief was heightened when his wife questioned why he had not
told her that he had an elderly, poor mother.
In an alternate translation, Malin Kundang was on the ship with just his crew. When his
mother attempted to embrace him, he was too embarrassed by her ragged appearance to
acknowledge her and instead, had one of them carry her away.
Distraught and finally realizing he son's wickedness, Malin Kundang's mother gave up on
her son's acknowledging her and prayed to her god to punish her son for his behavior.
The day after his mother's prayer, Malin Kudang sailed out of the village. Shortly thereafter,
the ships was met by a violent storm. Malin Kundang believed the storm was his god's and
nature's ways of punishing him for his mistreatment of his mother.
He felt guilty about his behavior towards her, asked for forgiveness, and began to pray.
However, his repentance was too late, for the ship was destroyed at sea. But, in some
translations of the tale, Malin Kundang was turned into coral. In other, the ship, the crew,
and he become rock formations that are still standing
