    The Legend Of Malin Kundang

    Long time ago, in a small village near the beach in West


    Sumatera, lived a woman and her son, Malin Kundang. Malin
    Kundang’s father had passed away when he was a baby, and he had
    to live hard with his mother.
    Malin Kundang was a healthy, dilligent, and strong child.
    He usually went to the sea to catch fish, and brought it to his
    mother, or sold it in the town.
    One day, when Malin Kundang was sailing as usual, he saw a
    merchant’s ship which was being raided by a small band of pirates.
    With his brave and power, Malin Kundang defeated the pirates. The
    merchant was so happy and asked Malin Kundang to sail with him.
    Malin Kundang agreed.
    Many years later, Malin Kundang became a wealthty
    merchant, with a huge ship, loads of trading goods, many ship
    crews, and a beautiful wife. In his journey, his ship landed on a
    beach. The villagers reconigzed him, and the news ran fast in the
    town: Malin Kundang became a rich man and now he is here. His
    mother, in deepful sadnees after years of loneliness, ran to the
    beach to meet her beloved son again.
    When the mother came, Malin Kundang, in front of his
    well dressed wife, his crews and his own gloriness, denied to
    meet that old, poor and dirty woman. For three times she begged
    Malin Kundang and for three times yelled at him. At last Malin
    Kundang said to her “Enough, old woman! I have never had a
    mother like you, a dirty and ugly peasant!” Then he ordered his
    crews to set sail.
    Enraged, she cursed Malin Kundang that he would turn
    into a stone if he didn’t apologize. Malin Kundang just laughed
    and set sail.
    In the quiet sea, suddenly a thunderstorm came. His huge
    ship was wrecked and it was too late for Malin Kundang to
    apologized. He was thrown by the wave out of his ship, fell on a
    small island, and suddenly turned into stone.
