The following text is for no 39 to 41.
Once upon a time in West Java, Indonesia, lived a princess named DayangSumbi. Her hobby was
weaving cloth. One day her weaving tool fell but she was too lazy toget it herself. She shouted out,
„Anybody there? Bring me my tool. I will give you special present. If you are female, I will consider
you as my sister. If you are male, I will marry you‟
A male creature came, but it was a dog. His name was Tumang. He happily brought her the tool to
her. DayangSumbi was very surprised but she kept her promise. She married the dog. Tumang was
actually a man who had been cursed by a witch to become a dog. But at certain times Tumang could
turn back to be a normal man. Their only son, Sangkuriang, was soon born, and he grew up to be a
handsome and healthy boy. He always played with his very loyal dog, Tumang. He did not know that
he was actually his father, because DayangSumbi hid the secret from him. Sangkuriang liked to hunt in
the woods, of course with Tumang.
One day DayangSumbi asked him to bring home a deer‟s heart. Unfortunately, he could not find any
deer in the woods. He did not want to disappoint his mother and was thinking hard how to bring home
a deer‟s heart. Suddenly he had a very bad idea. He killed Tumang! Then he brought his heart home
and gave it to Dayang Sumbi. Sangkuring could not cheat her. She knew it was Tumang‟s heart. So,
she got very angry and hit Sangkuriang‟s forehead with a piece of wood and told him to leave the
village.
Many years later, Sangkuriang grew up to be a powerful man. One day he went back to his village.
He met a beautiful young woman there, and he fell in love with her at the first sight. It was Dayang
Sumbi! She never got older because she had been granted eternal youth by the gods. Sangkuriang did
not know that she was his mother, so she came to her and proposed to marry her.
When he walked closer to her, DayangSumbi got very surprised. She saw the scar in Sangkuriang‟s
forehead, and soon she knew that he was her son, who left her a long time ago. She told him the truth
and tried hard to explain it to him, but he did not believe her. She accepted his proposal but gave him
an impossible thing to do. She wanted him to build a lake and a boat in just one night!
Sangkuriang agreed, because he knew that he could make it with the help of his genies. By
midnight he finished the lake and then started making the boat. DayangSumbi was thinking hard to find
a way to fail him. Before dawn, she asked the people in the village to burn the woods in the East, and
the light made all the cocks crow. Thinking that the night would be over soon, the genies ran fast and
left Sangkuriang before the boat was finished. Sangkuriang realized that DayangSumbi had cheated
him. He got very angry and he kicked the boat upside down. It gradually became a mountain and it is
now known as Mount. TangkubanPerahu.

our day to day activities. Here are some reasons why music is heard everywhere and anywhere.
Music is a way to express feelings. When we fall in love, the kind of music we‟d listen to

documentary. People with Alzheimer which are impaired the brain would remember details about
songs they were familiar with. For example, an elderly woman who couldn‟t even remember her
husband‟s name would remember the details of her favorite song; when it was played, how it made
her feel and things about the song that made it especially memorable for her.
Further, music can unite people for a cause and changes the world. A song with good lyric and
striking deep chord can stimulate the universal feeling of all people. We can see it in the case of
