he had to live hard with his mother.

Malin Kundang was a healthy, dilligent, and strong child. He usually went to the sea
to cats 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 agreed.

Many years later, Malin Kundang becane a wealthy 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 fronts of his well dressed wife, his crews

at him. At last Malin Kundang said to her “Enought, 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 the Would turn into a stone if he didn’t

In the quiet sea, suddenly a thunderstrom 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.
