The daughter dressed beautifully while her mother wore very simple dress. Even
though they were a mother and a daughter, they looked so different. Her mother
looked like her servant. In the middle of their way to market, a man greeted them,Hi
cute girl, is she your mother?. he asked. How could you think that? Of course she
is not my mother, she is my servant, the daughter replied. Her mother was so sad to
hear that. She kept silent though her heart was crying aloud. Along the street
everyone passing kept asking the girl about her mother. And the girl always told them
that the old woman behind her was her servant.
The mother had stayed patiently along the street. And finally she could not bear it to
hear her daughters answer. she prayed to the God,O Lord, punish my ungrateful
daughter, please!, she prayed. Suddenly the girls legs turned to be a stone
immediately after the mother stopped praying. The change came slowly. Knowing
her legs turned to be a stone, the daughter screamed.Whats happen to my legs?.
Then she realized that she had hurt her mothers feeling. She cried and begged for
absolution to her mother.Mommy, Forgive me please, mom. She begged. The
daughter kept crying. But it was too late. The whole body eventually became a stone.
The mother actually felt so sad to see her daughter. But she could not do anything to
the Gods destiny. Even though she had become a stone completely, people can still
see her tears. That is the reason why it was called Batu Menangis.
