Malin Kundang

Once upon a time, on the coast of West Sumatra, there lived a mother and her favorite son
named Malin. Since her husband died, Malin's mother had to struggle desperately to support
Malin. Even so, she still felt happy because Malin was a loving child. He is also very spoiled.
Malin would always accompany his mother to work selling fish.

As the days went by, Malin grew older. He felt it was time to replace his mother at work.
However, Malin had another desire when he saw that many of his peers could get rich quickly
after selling in the city. "Mak, Malin wants to migrate to the other side of town. Malin will make a
lot of money for Emak from there." Malin's mother was very surprised to hear her favorite son's
wish. "No, Malin. Stay here with Emak. I don't want anything bad to happen to you if you go to
the city."

Malin tried to convince his mother that he would be fine in the city. With a troubled heart, Malin's
mother let go of her son who was about to migrate.

"Be careful there, son. Don't forget to come home soon." Malin's mother hugged Malin very
tightly. She waved at the edge of Air Manis Beach to usher Malin's departure.

After a while, Malin did not return home. For years, her mother lived alone. Until one day, Malin's
mother received news from one of her friend's children.
