 SANGKURIANG
From: West Java

A long time ago in West Java, lived a beautiful girl named

Dayang Sumbi. Her beauty and intelligence made a prince from
the heavenly kingdom of Kahyangan desire her as his wife. The
prince asked permission from his father to marry Dayang Sumbi.
However, people from Kahyangan could never live side by side
with humans, but his father approved on one condition, when
they had a child, the prince would transform into a dog.

They got married and Dayang Sumbi gave birth to a baby boy
named Sangkuriang. The prince then changed into a dog named
Tumang. He was very smart and handsome like his father.
Sangkuriang liked to hunt animals and looked for fruits to eat.
One day, when he was hunting, Sangkuriang accidently killed
Tumang. He went home and told her mother about the dog.

Driven by sadness and anger, she grabbed a big spoon and hit
Sangkuriang's head with it. Dayang Sumbi was so sad and started
to cry because she just lost her husband. Sangkuriang feels
confused. How can his mother love a dog more than him?
Sangkuriang then decided to run away from their home.

Many years later, Sangkuriang found a house of a beautiful

woman. He didn't know that the woman was his mother and fell
in love with her. Sangkuriang forced her to marry him but
Dayang Sumbi could not accept it because she knew that the boy
was her son.
 She realizes that she needs to do something to prevent
Sangkuriang from marrying her. Dayang sumbi decided to ask
him an impossible requirement to marry her in order for him to
give up. She asked Sangkuriang to build her a big boat within one
night.

Without doubt, Sangkuriang accepted this condition and worked

hard to fulfil the condition. Then he commands the genies to cut
down trees and build a boat. A few moments before dawn,
Sangkuriang and his genie servants almost finished the boat.

Dayang Sumbi immediately woke all the women in the village

and asked them to wave a long red scarf. All the women in the
village were waving their red scarf, making it look as if dawn was
breaking. Deceived by false dawn, the cock crowned and farmers
rose to the new day.

Sangkuriang immediately dropped their work. With all his

anger, he kicked the unfinished boat. The boat flew and landed on
a vallet, The boat then became a mountain, called Tangkuban
Perahu.
