 A.INTRODUCTION

1. Short Description

What is a legend?

 A legend is “a story or narrative that lies somewhere between

myth and historical fact and which, as a rule, is about aparticular

figure or person.” Traditionally, a legend is a narrative that

focuses on a historically or geographically specific figure, and

describes his exploits. Similar to a myth, a legend can provide an

etymological narrative, often filling in historical gaps.

 Legends are told to serve a specific purpose, and can be

based on facts – but they are not completely true. People

mentioned in a legend might not have really done what the

story of the legend relates. In some cases, legends change the

historical events.

2.What is the main difference between a legend and a myth?

There are marked differences between a legend and a myth.While

legends are made up stories, myths are stories that answer questions about

5
the working of natural phenomenon.Myths are set in olden times, even in pre-

historic times.However, legends are narratives that are partly true and

partly imaginary about a particular person, event, place or

natural feature.

Yes, that’s a Legend which is a genre folklore that consists of a

A long time ago, in a small village near the beach in West

Sumatra lived a woman and her son, Malin Kundang. Malin Kundang

17
and his mother had to live hard because his father had passed away

when he was a baby. Malin Kundang was a healthy, diligent, 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

18
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.
