Malin Kundang
An old woman and her son lived in a little village. Her son was called Malin Kundang. They were very poor but they loved each other very much. One day Malin Kundang told his mother that he would go to the town and worked there. At first, his mother didn`t allow him, but finally she let him go with tears. Malin Kundang worked hard in big town. And in a short time he became a rich man. However, he completely forgot his poor old mother. Some years later, he sailed to a harbor near his village. When his mother heard about this news, she came to meet him. Malin Kundang pretended not to know her. He said, “You aren`t my mother. Go away!” His mother became very sad and before she went away, she said, ”Oh Malin Kundang, you`re wicked son, you`ll never be safe now. You and your money will turn into stone.
Someday later, his ship left the harbor. The sea was calm but when he reached the open sea, there was a great storm. The ship was drowned Malin Kundang and his money changed into the stone. Now people call it “Batu si Malin Kundang”. We can see the stone from Air Manis, a village on the coast of West Sumatera near Padang.
