One day, he sailed away in a big ship. His mother waved sadly to her son. Si
Tanggang travelled to many countries. He worked hard and saved lots of money. Soon,

One day, Si Tanggang’s ship sailed to his home village. A villager told Si
Tanggang’s mother, “Your son has returned." Si Tanggang’s mother waited eagerly for
her son at the port. Si Tanggang and his wife were in the ship. They saw an old woman in
rags waving to them. "Who is that old woman waving to us? Do you know her?” asked Si
Tanggang’s wife. Si Tanggang was shamed of his poor mother. Si Tanggang said loudly,
“I don't know that old woman. Let’s go!”

Si Tanggang’s mother was very heartbroken when she heard her son’s words. She
turned around and shouted, “Punish the son who is ungrateful to his own mother!”
Si Tanggang sailed the ship away. Suddenly, the sky turned dark and the sea
became rough. The waves hit the ship. What happened to Si Tanggang? He was turned
into a big rock for being an ungrateful son.
