Malin Kundang
Once upon a time,on the north coast of Sumatera,lived a wedow and her only son.Named
Malin Kundang.Malin Kundang is a skillful man but he is very poor.He wanted to help his
mother since his papa was died.

One day,a beautiful large ship docked and malin met on of the ship’s crew,than the crew invited
malin to join with him at the time.Malin decided it,than he went to the home to tell his mother.
“Mom, what if I sail overseas?” asked Malin Kundang to his beloved mother. “Oh dear, I can’t
let you do that. I lost your father; he was sailing and never came back. I don’t want to lose you
too,” her mother replied.Malin still tried to convince his mother that he would be alright” Than
Malin said “I’m promise mom, I’ll be back for you.” His mother wiped her own tears.”I cant stop
you,if you really want to go,just go.I just can pray to god”

A several years waiting,she was surprised by arrival of a wealthy merchant in the ship
dock. When the large ship pulled over, Malin’s mother saw a wealthy man who was stepping
down the ladder along with a beautiful woman. The man turned out to be her only son, Malin
Kundang. she came running to hug her son. “Oh my dear son, I miss you so much.” However,
Malin Kundang did not give any response. He was too ashamed to admit that the old woman was
his own mother in front of his beautiful wife. “Who are you? You’re not my mother. My mother
has passed away when I was kid,” said Malin Kundang. Malin’s mother took a step back,
“Malin, what do you mean? I’m your mother!” she said sadly.
“Go away from me an ugly woman !” ” Malin Kundang then ordered his bodyguard to take
the old woman away from him, “Take this old and filthy woman out of here!” Malin’s mother
cried as he was dragged by the bodyguard, “Malin, my son. How could you do this to me? Why
do you treat your own mother like this?” she sobbed.
As her heart was broken and felt very disappointed to her son, she cried and shouted, “Oh God, if
he is my real son, I curse him into stone!” After that, Malin Kundang continued his journey and
once again left his mother. In the middle of a calm sea, suddenly the wind was blowing so hard
and a storm came. The storm struck his ship and turned him into a stone.

Moral Value of Malin Kundang Story: Always treat your parent well, especially your
mother. Your mother is the one who has brought you to this world with all of the struggles to raise
you to gain your better future.
