Malin Kundang

A long time ago, on the north coast of Sumatera lived a widow and her only son named Malin
Kundang. They were living in poverty. Malin Kundang grew up as a skillful young boy. He
always wanted to be a successful person to help her mother.

One day, a large ship of a rich merchant docked nearby. Malin Kundang met one of the ship’s
crew and was offered to join with him. He knew that it was a good chance to make his dream
came true. So he decided to accept the offer and went 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 Kundang kept trying to convince his mother that he would be all right, “Mom, if I stay
here, I’ll always be a poor man. I want to be a successful person to help us to get a better life.
I promise you that I’ll be back for you.” His mother wiped her own tears, “If you really want
to go, I can’t stop you my son. I could only pray to God for you to gain your success in life,”
said his mother wisely. In the next morning, Malin Kundang was ready to go.

It had been a year since Malin Kundang left his mother. Her mother never heard any news
from Malin Kundang. However, she kept waiting and praying for his son to come home
safely. After several years of 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.

Without hesitation, 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.

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.

Malin Kundang

Dahulu kala, di pesisir utara Sumatera hidup seorang janda dengan anak tunggalnya bernama
Malin Kundang. Mereka hidup dalam kemiskinan. Malin Kundang tumbuh menjadi seorang
pemuda yang terampil. Dia selalu berkeinginan untuk menjadi seorang yang sukses untuk
membantu ibunya.

Suatu hari, sebuah kapal besar milik seorang saudagar kaya berlabuh di dekat sana. Malin
Kundang bertemu dengan salah satu awak kapal dan ditawari untuk bergabung dengannya.
Dia tahu kalau ini sebuah kesempatan yang bagus untuk mewujudkan impiannya. Jadi dia
memutuskan untuk menerima tawaran tersebut dan pulang ke rumah untuk memberitahu
ibunya. “Bu, bagaimana jika aku berlayar ke negeri seberang?” tanya Malin Kundang pada
ibunya tercinta. “Sayangku, aku tak bisa membiarkanmu melakukan hal tersebut. Aku telah
kehilangan ayahmu; dia berlayar dan tak pernah kembali. Aku tak ingin kehilangan dirimu
juga,” jawab ibunya.

Malin Kundang terus berusaha meyakinkan ibunya kalau dia akan baik-baik saja, “Bu, jika
aku tetap di sini, aku akan selalu menjadi seorang pria miskin. Aku ingin menjadi seorang
yang sukses untuk membantu kita mendapatkan kehidupan yang lebih baik. Aku berjanji
pada ibu kalau aku akan kembali untukmu.” Ibunya menyapu air matanya sendiri, “Jika kamu
benar-benar ingin pergi, aku tak bisa menghentikanmu nak. Aku hanya bisa berdoa pada
Tuhan untukmu agar kamu mencapai kesuksesan dalam hidup,” ungkap ibunya dengan bijak.
Pagi berikutnya, Malin Kundang siap untuk pergi.
Sudah setahun semenjak Malin Kundang pergi meminggalkan ibunya. Ibunya tak pernah
mendengar kabar dari Malin Kundang. Akan tetapi, dia tetap menanti dan berdoa untuk
putranya agar pulang dengan selamat. Setelah beberapa tahun penantian, dia terkejut dengan
kedatangan seorang saudagar kaya di dermaga kapal. Ketika kapal besar tersebut menepi, ibu
Malin melihat seorang lelaki kata yang sedang menuruni tangga bersama seorang wanita
cantik. Lelaki tersebut ternyata putra tunggalnya, Malin Kundang.

Ibu Malin mendekati putranya tersayang, “Malin, kamu kembali!” katanya. Tanpa ragu, dia
datang berlalri untuk memeluk putranya. “Putraku sayang, aku rindu sekali padamu.” Namun,
Malin Kundang tak memberikan jawaban apapun. Dia terlalu malu untuk mengakui kalau
wanita tua tersebut adalah ibunya sendiri di depan istri cantiknya. “Siapa kamu? Kamu
bukanlah ibuku. Ibuku telah meninggal saat aku masih kecil,” kata Malin Kundang. Ibu
Malin mundur selangkah, “Malin, apa maksudmu? Aku ibumu!” katanya sedih.

Malin Kundang lalu memerintahkan pengawalnya untuk membawa wanita tua tersebut,
“Bawa keluar wanita tua dan menjijikan ini dari sini!” Ibu Malin menangis seketika dia
diseret oleh pengawalnya, “Malin, putraku. Bagaimana bisa kamu melakukan ini padaku?
Kenapa kamu memperlakukan ibumu sendiri seperti ini?” dia menangis tersedu-sedu.

Karena hatinya tersakiti dan merasa sangat kecewa pada putranya, dia menangis dan
berteriak, “Ya Tuhan, Jika memang dia putra kandungku, aku kutuk dia menjadi batu!”
Setelah itu, Malin Kundang melanjutkan perjalanannya dan sekali lagi meninggalkan ibunya.
Di tengah laut yang tenang, tiba-tiba angin berhembus kencang dan badai datang. Badai
tersebut menghantam kapalnya dan mengubahnya menjadi sebuah batu.

The Needle Tree

There were once two brothers who lived at the edge of a forest. The elder brother was very
mean to his younger brother. He ate up all the food and took all his brother’s good clothes.
One day, the elder brother went into the forest to find some firewood to sell in the market. As
he went around, chopping the branches of tree after tree, he came upon a magical tree.

The tree said to him, ‘Oh kind sir, please do not cut my branches. If you spare me, I will give
you golden apples’. The elder brother agreed, but was disappointed with the number of
apples the tree gave him. Greed overcame him, and he threatened to cut the entire trunk, if
the tree didn’t give him more apples. The magical tree, instead, showered upon the elder
brother, hundreds upon hundreds of tiny needles. The elder brother lay on the ground crying
in pain as the sun began to lower down the horizon.

The younger brother grew worried and went in search of his elder brother. He found him
laying in pain near the tree, with hundreds on needles on his body. He rushed to his brother
and removed each needle with painstaking love. After he finished, the elder brother
apologised for treating him badly and promised to be better. The tree saw the change in the
elder brother’s heart, and gave them all the golden apples they could ever need.

Moral Of The Story:

It is important to be kind and gracious, as it will always be rewarded.

Akbar once put a question to his court that left everyone puzzled. As they all tried to figure
out the answer, Birbal walked in and asked what the matter was. They repeated the question
to him.

‘How many crows are there in the city?’

Birbal immediately smiled, went up to Akbar, and announced that the answer to his
questions was twenty-one thousand, five hundred and twenty-three. When asked how he
knew the answer, Birbal replied, ‘Ask your men to count the number of crows. If there are
more, then the crows’ relatives from outside the city are visiting them. If there are fewer, then
the crows are visiting their relatives outside the city.’ Pleased with the answer, Akbar
presented Birbal with a ruby and pearl chain.

Birbal segera tersenyum, pergi ke Akbar, dan mengumumkan bahwa jawaban atas
pertanyaannya adalah dua puluh satu ribu lima ratus dua puluh tiga.

Ketika ditanya bagaimana dia tahu jawabannya, Birbal menjawab, ‘Minta anak buahmu untuk
menghitung jumlah gagak. Jika ada lebih banyak, maka itu berarti kerabat gagak dari luar
kota sedang mengunjungi mereka. Jika jumlahnya lebih sedikit, maka gagak mengunjungi
kerabat mereka di luar kota. 'Merasa Senang dengan jawabannya, Akbar pun memberi Birbal
sebuah rantai ruby dan mutiara.

 The Boy Who Cried Wolf
There was once a boy whose father one day told him that he was, now, old enough to watch
over the sheep while they were grazing. Every day, he had to take the sheep over the grass
fields and watch them as they grazed to become strong with thick wool. The boy was
unhappy though. He wanted to run and play, not watch the boring sheep. So, he decided to
have some fun instead. He cried ‘Wolf! Wolf!,’ until the entire village came running with
stones to chase away the wolf before it could eat any of the sheep. Once they saw that there
was no wolf, they left muttering under their breath about how the boy was wasting their time
and giving them a good fright while at it. The next day, the boy cried once more,‘Wolf! Wolf!’
and, again, the villagers rushed there to chase the wolf away.

As the boy laughed at the fright he had caused, the villagers left, some angrier than the
others. The third day, as the boy went up the small hill, he suddenly saw a wolf attacking his
sheep. He cried as hard as he could, ‘Wolf! Wolf! WOLF!’, but the villagers thought he was
trying to fool them again and did not come to rescue the sheep. The little boy lost three
sheep that day, all because he falsely cried wolf.

Setiap hari, ia harus membawa domba-domba itu ke padang rumput dan mengawasinya
saat domba-domba tersebut merumput agar menjadi kuat dan memiliki bulu wol yang tebal.

Bocah itu merasa tidak senang. Dia ingin berlari dan bermain, bukan menonton domba yang
membosankan. Jadi, dia memutuskan untuk bersenang-senang. Dia berteriak ‘Serigala!
Serigala !, ’sampai seluruh desa datang berlari membawa batu untuk mengusir serigala
sebelum bisa memakan domba mana pun.

bocah itu membuang-buang waktu mereka dan memberi mereka rasa ketakutan yang
ampuh saat melakukannya. Keesokan harinya, bocah itu berteriak sekali lagi, ‘Serigala!
