The Legend of 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 her mother. Her 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
.
Malin Kundang was a healthy, dilligent, and strong boy. He usually went to sea to catch fish. After getting fish
he would bring it to his mother, or sold the caught fish in the town. One day, when Malin Kundang was sailing,
he saw a merchant's ship which was being raided by a small band of pirates. He helped the merchant.

With his brave and power, Malin Kundang defeated the pirates. The merchant was so happy and thanked to
him. In return the merchant asked Malin Kundang to sail with him. To get a better life, Malin Kundang
agreed. He left his mother alone. Many years later, Malin Kundang became wealthy. He had a huge ship and
was helped by many ship crews loading trading goods. Perfectly he had a beautiful wife too. When he was
sailing his trading journey, his ship landed on a beach near a small village.

The villagers recognized him. The news ran fast in the town; “Malin Kundang has become rich and now he is
here”. An old woman ran to the beach to meet the new rich merchant.

She was Malin Kundang’s mother. She wanted to hug him, released her sadness of being lonely after so long
time. Unfortunately, when the mother came, Malin Kundang who was in front of his well dressed wife and his
ship crews denied meeting that old lonely woman. For three times her mother begged Malin Kundang and for
three times he yelled at her. At last Malin Kundang said to her "Enough, old woman!

I have never had a mother like you, a dirty and ugly woman!" After that he ordered his crews to set sail. He
would leave the old mother again but in that time she was full of both sadness and angriness. Finally,
enraged, she cursed Malin Kundang that he would turn into a stone if he didn't apologize. Malin Kundang just
laughed and really set sail

. In the quiet sea, suddenly a thunderstorm came. His huge ship was wrecked and it was too late for Malin
Kundang to apologize. He was thrown by the wave out of his ship. He fell on a small island.

It was really too late for him to avoid his curse. Suddenly, his body turn into a fallen stone that show us when
the Malin Kundang’s apologize to his mother.
