MALIN KUNDANG
Orientation |
Once upon time, there was a boy named Malin Kundang. He lived with his
mother in a very poor condition. They looked fire wood in the forest nearly
to make a living. Malin Kundang was so unsatisfied with their bad luck.
That’s why he decided to go to another city to look for a better life. |
Complication |
Not long afterwards, Malin asked his mother’s permission to go to a
big city. He promised to come back soon with much money. His mother permitted
him and always prayed for him. In his journey, Malin Kundang joined a
merchant in a big ship. |
Resolution |
Actually, Malin was a diligent boy. He worked hard to get much money
and everything changed. He became a rich merchant. His business partner asked
him to marry his daughter. Malin agreed. Then Malin and his business
partner’s daughter got married. They had honeymoon and traveled all over the
world. |
Complication |
Many years later, Malin’s ship anchored in his village. Many villagers
welcome his arrival and admired his glorious ship. Furthermore, they wanted
to see his success. Malin’s mother heard that her son had come back. She was
very glad and eager to see him. With a happy smile in her lips, she went to
the seashore to meet her son. Do you know what happened when she met Malin?
He pretended that he didn’t know her. Of course she was very very sad and
disappointed. |
Resolution |
In her desperation she cried to God to punish Malin. She cursed Malin
Kundang and his ship to be a stone. Since then, people can see the big stone
in the beach. |
