    Malin Kundang

    Once upon a time, a poor woman and his son lived on the north coast of Sumatra. Malin Kundang was
    the name of the boy. As they lived in the coastal area, fishing was their primary income. Malin Kundang
    grew up as a skillful young boy. He always helped his mother to make money. However, as they were
    only fisherman’s helpers, they still lived in poverty. One day, Malin Kundang shared his thought with his
    mother. He wanted to sail overseas so that he could be a successful man. Hearing this, his mother
    disagreed. “But mother, if I stay here, I’ll always be a poor man. I want to be a successful person.” he
    said.Seeing his persistence, his mother couldn’t stop Malin Kundang. She asked Malin Kundang to
    promise her to go home after gaining success. The following day, Malin Kundang was ready. He joined a
    successful ship crew who offered him to join the crew. Malin Kundang’s mother bid him adieu, and
    asked her son to take care of himself. Malin Kundang asked the same from his mother. They parted,
    with Malin Kundang pursuing his dream and his mother waiting for him at home.It had been three
    months since Malin Kundang’s departure. Not once did he take his time to contact his mother. The
    mother, who waited patiently, always stood up on the dock every morning. She wished for a ship to
    bring her son home. She prayed day and night, endlessly, for Malin Kundang’s safety.One day, after
    several years of not hearing from her son, the fated day came. A large ship docked at the point where
    Malin Kundang’s mother used to wait. A wealthy-looking man stepped down from the ship,
    accompanied by a beautiful woman next to him. Realizing he was her son, Malin Kundang’s mother ran
    toward the man. She hugged her son dearly while crying out how much she missed him. Malin Kundang
    froze and gave no response. He was ashamed that the woman wearing old and shabby clothes was his
    mother. He replied coldly, “You’re not my mother. My mother would never such a shabby clothes.” The
    mother released her hug and asked unbelievably, “Malin, you don’t recognize your mother? I am your
    mother!”Malin Kundang then ordered his guards to take his mother out of there. Her mother cried as
    the bodyguards dragged her. She was very sad, knowing that his awaited son treated her badly like this.
    Malin Kundang ignored her mother’s cry and ordered his crew to set sail. Malin Kundang’s mother
    stared at him blankly. She prayed to God, “Oh God, if he is not my son, please let him have a safe
    journey. But if he is indeed my son Malin Kundang, I curse him into a stone.”Right after she prayed, the
    calm sea turned into a thunderstorm. Malin Kundang’s ship was wrecked. The wave threw him out of his
    ship, and he was stranded on an island. Suddenly, his whole body turned into stone. He was punished
    for not admitting his mother.
