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 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, he
turned into a stone.
