MALIN

KUNDANG
Assalamualaikum warrahmatullahi wabbarakatuh, 
Good morning.
I am Dhini Melia. Today, I will tell you a famous story, 
and the title is MALIN KUNDANG.
I’ m sure most of you know about it. But I’ll make the story
more interesting for you. Are you ready, guys?
All right,listen to my story..

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Malin Kundang.

He lived with his mother in a small village.
Malin Kundang and his mother life in poverty and had to
work hard to make ends meet.
Malin said ” Mom, I wanna go to a big city to find a better
job.  So we’ll have a better life, please allow me mom.”
His mother answered sadly ” Please don’t leave me alone
son, you are my only son, I love you so much.”

Malin replied ” But I have to go now mom, I promise I’ll

come back for you.” .
With a hard feeling her mother said ” All right son, I allow
you to go but you must pay your promise .”
Malin’s answered happily ” All right mom, I’ ll back and
make you happy someday.”

Then, Malin Kundang went away to sea and made a lot of

money. He became a rich and successful man. He forgot
about his mother and never came back to visit her.

One day, Malin Kundang’s ship sailed back into the village.
Many people came to see a big luxurious ship including
malin’s mother.

They saw Malin in that ship, they cried ”Malin comes,

Malin comes.”  Malin’s mother heard that. She shocked and
wept happily. She rans to meet Malin. She cried ” Is that
you Malin? Is that you my beloved son? Thanks God you
go home Malin .I’m your mother,  do you remember me?”

Malin became ashamed to admit his mother. He answered

arrogantly ” Mother, oh..no..no.. I don’t know this poor old
woman.”
Then, Malin cried to his mother ” Hi, you poor woman get
out of my ship!”

Malin’s mother begged sadly ”Malin my Son,  don’t you

remember your promise? Why are you so cruel? I’am your
mother?”

Malin answered loudly  ” No, you’re not my mother,  my

mother was death.”

The old woman was really heartbroken, she got out of the
ship while crying and kneeled on the ground.
” Oh my God, you know what happen to me, please, Do
what do you want to do.”
Audience do you know what happen the next?
Suddenly the wind blew hard, the sky was getting dark and
the storm destroyed Malin’s ship.

Malin’s cried loudly ” Mother..mother..please help me,

forgive me please, mother.” But it was too late, she cursed
into a stone.
Malin Kundang turned into stone statue and remains
standing on the beach to this day.
Now you can see the stone in West Sumatra.

Well, happy audience, Do you know what we can learn

from the story
 1. Keep spirit and never give up to get success
2. Pay your promise if you have promise to someone.
3. Love and respect your parents especially your
mother. Make her happy and never hurt her.
Thanks for your attention, have a nice day I’Am Dhini
