The Legend of Malin Kundang

A long time ago, in a small village near the beach in West Sumatra, a woman and her
son lived. They were Malin Kundang and her mother. Her mother was a single
parent because Malin Kundang's father had passed away when he was a baby. Malin
Kundang had to live hard with his mother

.
Malin Kundang was a healthy, dilligent, and strong boy. He usually went to sea to
catch fish. After getting fish he would bring it to his mother, or sold the caught fish
in the town. One day, when Malin Kundang was sailing, he saw a merchant's ship
which was being raided by a small band of pirates. He helped the merchant. With his
brave and power, Malin Kundang defeated the pirates. The merchant was so happy
and thanked to him. In return the merchant asked Malin Kundang to sail with him.
To get a better life, Malin Kundang agreed. He left his mother alone. Many years
later, Malin Kundang became wealthy. He had a huge ship and was helped by many
ship crews loading trading goods. Perfectly he had a beautiful wife too. When he was
sailing his trading journey, his ship landed on a beach near a small village. The
villagers recognized him. The news ran fast in the town; Malin Kundang has
become rich and now he is here. An old woman ran to the beach to meet the new
rich merchant. She was Malin Kundangs mother. She wanted to hug him, released
her sadness of being lonely after so long time. Unfortunately, when the mother came,
Malin Kundang who was in front of his well dressed wife and his ship crews denied
meeting that old lonely woman. For three times her mother begged Malin Kundang
and for three times he yelled at her. At last Malin Kundang said to her "Enough, old
woman! I have never had a mother like you, a dirty and ugly woman!" After that he
ordered his crews to set sail. He would leave the old mother again but in that time
she was full of both sadness and angriness. Finally, enraged, she cursed Malin
Kundang that he would turn into a stone if he didn't apologize. Malin Kundang just
laughed and really set sail

In the quiet sea, suddenly a thunderstorm came. His huge ship was wrecked and it
was too late for Malin Kundang to apologize. He was thrown by the wave out of his
ship. He fell on a small island. It was really too late for him to avoid his curse.
Suddenly,
he turned into a stone.

Sangkuriang Story

Once upon a time, a beautiful lady named Dayang Sumbi gave birth to a boy which
she named Sangkuriang. When Sangkuriang was old enough to hunt, he took his
mothers dog Tumang (which according to this legend is an incarnation of a god and
also Sangkuriangs father) and ordered Tumang to chase after a boar. When Tumang
did not follow Sangkuriangs order, Sangkuriang became very angry and he killed
Tumang. He carved out Tumangs heart and brought it back to his mother. Dayang
Sumbi took the heart, cooked it and ate it. When she discovered that the heart
belonged to Tumang, her husband, she was overcome with wrath. She sent her son
away, but not before she hit him with a spoon and left a deep scar on his head.
Sangkuriang travelled around the world. After a long while, he arrived back in his
village again without recognizing it. He saw a beautiful lady and fell in love with her.
Little did he know that she was his own mother. He asked for her hand in marriage
and she agreed. Dayang Sumbi later realized that Sangkuriang was her son, as she
recognized the scar that she had inflicted. She tried to tell him and break off the
wedding, but he didnt believe her and insisted to go on with the wedding. Dayang
Sumbi then set an impossible condition that Sangkuriang has to fulfill in order to
marry her: he should build her a big boat and a lake by damming Citarum river, all
within one night, and it shall be finished by dawn. Sangkuriang agreed to the
condition. He built a boat from a large tree, and with the help of spirits, he dammed
the Citarum river with landslides. The water eventually rose and filled the plain,
turning it into a lake. When dawn was near, he was almost ready. Dayang Sumbi
realized this, so she prayed for divine intervention. As an answer to her prayers, the
eastern horizon lit up. Deceived by the lights, cocks crowed and farmers rose for the
new day, thinking that dawn has broken

.
Sangkuriang was also deceived. He
thought his endeavor has failed. Angrily, he kicked the boat so that it toppled over.
This boat became Tangkuban Parahu mountain (tangkuban means upside down, and
parahu means boat). The pile of leftover woods became Mt. Burangrang, and the rest
of the big tree became Mt. Bukit Tunggul. The lake became lake Bandung (which
literally means dam

Timun Emas Story

Long time ago, lived an old women named Mbok Sirni. She lived by herself because her
husband had long passed away and she had no children. Every day, she prayed so God
would give her a child. One night, when she was praying, a giant passed her house and
heard her pray. I can give you a child on one condition, the giant said to Mbok Sirni, You
must give the child back to me when it is six years old. Mbok Sirni was so happy; she did
not think about the risk of losing the child later and agreed to take the giants offer. The giant

then gave her a bunch of cucumber seeds. Plant it around your house. The giant then left
without saying anything else. In the morning, Mbok Sirni planted the seeds. The seeds grew
within mere days, and blossomed plentifully.Not longer after that, a big golden cucumber
grew from plants. Carefully, Mbok Sirni plucked the golden cucumber and carried it home.
With caution and care, she sliced the cucumber. She was very surprised to see a beautiful
baby girl inside the cucumber. She then named the baby Timun Emas (it means Golden
Cucumber).Years passed by and Timun Emas has grew to become a lovely and beautiful
little girl. She was also smart and kind. Mbok Sirni loved her very much. But she kept
thinking about the time the giant would take Timun Emas away from her. One night, Mbok
Sirni had a dream. In order to save Timun Emas from the giant, she had to meet the holy
man who lived in Mount Gundul. The next morning, Mbok Sirni took leave of Timun Emas to
go to Mount Gundul. The holy man then gave her four little bags, each one containing
cucumber seeds, needles, salt, and shrimp paste. Timun Emas can use these to protect
herself, said the holy man to Mbok Sirni.
A few days later, the giant came to see Mbok Sirni about her promise. Mbok Sirni! Where
is Timun Emas? shouted the giant. My daughter, take these bag with you. It can save you
from the giant. Now, run through the back door, said Mbok Sirni. But the giant saw Timun
Emas running to the woods. The giant was angry. Starved and enraged, he rushed toward
Timun Emas. Mbok Sirni tried to stop him, but the giant was unstoppable.The giant was
getting closer and closer, so Timun Emas opened the first bag she got from Mbok Sirni.
Inside the bag were cucumber seeds. She threw the seeds, and instantly they grew into
large cucumber field. But the giant ate them all, giving him more strength. As the giant was
getting close, Timun Emas took the second bag with needles inside and spilled the content
behind her. The needles turned into bamboo trees, sharp and thorny. The giants body was
scratched and bled. Aaargh, Ill get you, Timun Emas! shouted the giant as he tried to get
himself out from the bamboo field. He made it and still chasing Timun Emas.
Timun Emas then reached the third bag and spilled the salt inside. The ground which the
salt touched turned into a deep sea. The giant almost drown and had to swim to cross the
sea. After some time, he managed to get out from the water. Timun Emas saw the giant
coming, so she reached for the last bag. She took the shrimp paste and threw it. The shrimp
paste became a big swamp of boiling mud. The giant was trapped in the middle of the
swamp. The mud slowly but surely drowned him. Helpless, he roared out, Help!
Heeeeelp! Then the giant drown and died. Timun Mas then immediately went home.
Since then, Timun Emas and Mbok Sirni live happily ever after.
