THE LEGEND OF
MALIN KUNDANG
A long time ago, in a small village near
the beach in West Sumatra lived a woman and her son, Malin Kundang. Malin
Kundang and his mother had to live hard because his father had passed away when
he was a baby. 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 sell the caught fish in the town.
One day, when Malin Kundang was sailing,
he saw a merchant’s ship being raided by a band of pirates. With his bravery,
Malin Kundang helped the merchant defeat the pirates. To thank him, the
merchant allowed Malin Kundang to sail with him. Malin Kundang agreed in the
hope to get a better life. He left his mother alone.
Many years later, Malin Kundang became
wealthy. He had a huge ship and a lot of crews who worked loading trading
goods. He was also married to a beautiful woman. When he was sailing on his
trading journey, his ship landed on a coast near a small village. The local
people recognized that it was Malin Kundang, a boy from the area. The news ran
fast in the town; “Malin Kundang has become rich and now he is here”.
An old
woman, who was Malin Kundang’s mother, ran to the beach to meet the new rich
merchant. She wanted to hug him to release her sadness of being lonely after a
long time. When his mother came near him, Malin Kundang who was with his
beautiful wife and his ship crews denied that she was his mother. She had
pleaded Malin Kundang to look at her and admit that she was her mother. But he
kept refusing to do it and yelling 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 to leave the old woman who
was then full of sadness and anger. Finally, feeling enraged, she cursed Malin
Kundang that he would turn into a stone if he didn’t apologize to her. Malin
Kundang just laughed and set sail. Suddenly a thunderstorm came in the quiet
sea, wrecking his huge ship. He was thrown out to a small island. It was really
too late for him to avoid his curse; he had turned into a stone.
