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 his mother. His 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

“Mother, what if I sail overseas? if I stay here, I’ll always be a poor man. I want to be a
successful person,” said Malin kundang to his mother.

His mother wiped her tears, “If you really want to go, I can’t stop you. I could only pray to
God for you to gain success in life. But, promise me, you’ll come home.”

In the next morning, Malin Kundang was ready to go.

“Ok mom I will go now… Please pray for me mom… See you mom… Bye…Bye…”
“Ok Malin… Please take care of yourself. I will always pray for you my son… Good bye…”

One day, Malin kundang met a beautiful girl. She was the daughter of his master. They fell in
love each other and got married.

After several years waiting without any news, Malin Kundang’s mother was suddenly
surprised by the arrival of a big ship in the pier.

“Waw… What a big & luxury ship…? Whose ship is that?”

When the ship finally pulled over, Malin Kundang’s mother saw a man who looked wealthy
stepping down a ladder along with a beautiful woman.

Her blurry eyes still easily recognized him. The man was Malin Kundang, her son.
Do you think Malin Kundang will recognize her mother?

Malin Kundang’s mother quickly went to see her beloved son.

“Malin, you’re back, son!” said Malin Kundang's mother

But, Malin Kundang didn’t show any respond. He was ashamed to recognize his own mother
in front of his beautiful wife.
“You’re not my Mother. I don’t know you. My mother would never wear such ragged and
ugly clothes,” said Malin Kundang.

“Malin… Don’t you recognize me? I’m your mother!” she said sadly.

Malin Kundang’s face was as cold as ice and he said.

“Guard, take this old woman out of here,and give her some money so she won’t disturb me
again!”

”Malin… my son. Why do you treat your own mother like this?”
"Go! And never once in a while you're annoying me and my wife," he shouted as he drove
her mother .
“Supercharge you Malin! I am your mother ..but why do not you recognize me?! You are
really an ungrateful child ..Oh my God! If he is really my son,Curse him into a stone ...!" she
said, cryingly

Suddenly, malin kundang’s whole body turned into stone. He was punished for not
admitting his own mother.

THE END
