Once upon a time in west java, there lived a king who had a beautiful daughter.
Her name was Dayang Sumbi. She liked weaving very much. Once she was weaving a cloth
when one of her tools fell to the ground. She was very tired, at the same time she was too lazy
to take it. Then she just shouted out loudly.

“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”

Suddenly a male dog, named was Tumang came. He brought her the falling
tool. Dayang Sumbi was very surprised. She regretted her words but she could not deny it.
So she had to marry Tumang and leave her father. Then they lived in a small village. Several
months later they had a son. His name was Sangkuriang. He was a handsome and healthy
boy.

Sangkuriang liked hunting very much, especially deer. He often hunted to the wood
using his arrow. When he went hunting, Tumang was always with him.

One day Dayang Sumbi wanted to have deer’s heart so she asked Sangkuriang to hunt
for a deer. Then Sangkuriang went to the wood with his arrow and his faithful dog.
Tumang, but after several days in the wood, Sangkuriang could not find any deer.
Sangkuriang was exhausted and desperate. He did not want to disappoint her mother, so he
killed Tumang. He did not know that Tumang was his father. Tumang’s heart
was given to her mother. But Dayang Sumbi knew that it was Tumang’s heart. She was so
angry that she could not control her emotion. She hit Sangkuriang at his head and
Sangkuriang was wounded. There was a scar on his head. She also repelled her son.
Sangkuriang left her mother in sadness.
Many years passed and Sangkuriang became a strong young man. He wandered
everywhere. One day he arrived at his own village but he did not realize it. There he met
Dayang Sumbi. At the time Dayang Sumbi was given an eternal beauty by God so she stayed
young forever. Both of them did know each other. So they fell in love and then they decided
to marry. But then Dayang Sumbi recognized a scar on Sangkuriang’s head. She knew that
Sangkuriang was his son. It was impossible for them to marry. She told him but he did not
believe her. He wished that they married soon. So Dayang Sumbi gave very difficult
condition. She asked Sangkuriang to build a lake and a boat in one night! She said she needed
that for honeymoon.

Sangkuriang agreed. With the help of genie and spirits, Sangkuriang tried to build
them. By midnight he had completed the lake by building a dam in Citarum River. Then
he started making the boat. It was almost dawn when he almost finished it. Meanwhile
Dayang Sumbi kept watching on him. She was very worried when she knew this. So she
made lights in the east. Then the spiritis thought that was already dawn. It was time for them
to leave. They left Sangkuriang alone. Without their help he could not
