Once upon a time in west Java, Indonesia lived a wise king who had a beautiful
daughter. Her name was Dayang Sumbi. She liked weaving very much. Once she
was weaving a cloth when one of her tool fell to the ground. She was very tired at
the time so she was too lazy to take it. Then she just shouted outloud.
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, its name was Tumang, came. He brought her the falling tool.
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. Then they lived in a small
village. Several months later they had a son. His name was Sangkuriang. He was a
handsome and healthy boy.
Sangkuriang liked hunting very much. He often went hunting to the wood using his
arrow. When he went hunting Tumang always with him. In the past there were
many deer in Java so Sangkuriang often hunted for deer.
One day Dayang Sumbi wanted to have deers heart so she asked Sangkuriang 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. He
did not want to disappoint her mother so he killed Tumang. He did not know that
Tumang was his father. At home he gave Tumangs heart to her mother.
But Dayang Sumbi knew that it was Tumangs heart. She was so angry that she
could not control her emotion. 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 his Sangkuriangs head. She knew
that Sangkuriang was his son. It was impossible for them to marry. She told him
but he did not believe her. He wished that they marry soon. So Dayang Sumbi
gave a very difficult condition. She wanted Sangkuriang to build a lake and a boat
in one night! She said she needed that for honeymoon.
Sangkuriang agreed. With the help of genie and spirits Sangkuriang tried to build
them. By midnight he had finished the lake by building a dam in Citarum river.

Then he started building the boat. 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. Then the spirits thought that it was
already dawn. It was time for them to leave. They left Sangkuriang alone. Without
their help he could not finish the boat.

Mount Tangkuban Perahu. It means boat upside down. From a distant it looks like a
boat upside down.

MOUSE DEER AND CROCODILE

One day, Mouse Deer went down to the river to take a drink. But he knew that the
crocodile might be waiting underwater to eat him, so he said out loud. I wonder if
the waters warm. Ill put in my leg and find out. Of course Mouse Deer didnt put
in his leg. He picked up a stick instead and put one end into the water. Chomp!
Crocodile grabbed the stick and pulled it underwater. Mouse Deer laughed. Ha
haha Stupid crocodile! Cant you tell the difference between a stick and a leg?
Then Mouse Deer ran off to drink somewhere else.
In the next day, Mouse Deer wanted to cross the river. He wanted to eat the fruits
on the other side of the river. He saw a floating log in the river. He knew that
Crocodile looked like a log when he floated. Mouse Deer didnt want to be eaten by
Crocodile when he crosses the river. He had an idea. He called out loud, Crocodile!
Crocodile rose from the water, Hello, Mouse Deer. Have you come to be my lunch?
Mouse Deer smiled. Sorry, not today, Crocodile. I have orders from the King. He
wants to invite all the crocodiles in this river to a party. He wants me to count all the
crocodiles so he could prepare enough meal for you.
Really? Tell us what to do, said Crocodile. You must line up from this side of the
river to the other side, said Mouse Deer. Crocodile then got all his friends and
family. They lined up across the river. Mouse Deer then jumped onto Crocodiles
back. One, he counted. He jumped onto the next crocodile, Two. And the next
crocodile, Three. Mouse Deer kept jumping until he arrived on the other side of
the river. How many are there? asked Crocodile. Just enough, said Mouse Deer.
He laughed as he ran to the forest.
