BATU MENANGIS

Barrel: "hmmmmm ... I'm the prettiest woman in this country !!! (Look in the mirror) yayaya ...
correct my sister affection ....? "(Turning sideways to her sister (Dewi) who was sweeping, then
approaching)" yaa .. not like you, the udikkk .. (lifted Dewi's chin and pushed it) "hahaha"

Dewi: "Yes kak, sister is very beautiful, if my sister is more able to help mother, surely my sister
will look more beautiful. (Sit down, stop sweeping)

Barrel: "What do you mean ?? (glare) ... Say it again !!! (pull) ..

Dewi: "Adduhh !! (Pain) Iya kak, forgive me .. Sister is beautiful, even stay beautiful even
though my sister did not help mother, excuse me kak ... (still in jambak by barrel)

Barrel: "(let go of the shrimp)" hhuhhh ... yes I'm sorry !! But, ingatt !! If you repeat it again, I'll
be more than this .. !!! (snap, get back to the mirror)

Then the barrel left his sister, and again admired her beauty in front of the mirror. She did not
want to help her mother earn a living. Every time his mother took him to the fields he always
refused.

Mother: "" Son! Let's help Mother work in the fields, ("get the mother.)

Barrel: "Into the rice fields ?? I do not want, my nails and my skin will get dirty in the mud. Go
there with Dewi. I do not want.

Mother: "Barrel, what's up with your nails and muddy skin? Goddess alone who every day help
mum to go muddy fields, Alhamdulillah until now he is fine.

Barrel: "I said no, yes no !!! I do not want to go to the rice fields .. mother do not have to equate
me with the Goddess.

It was already Mother who went there with the Goddess wah, because no longer possible
there is a man who is interested in the face of the wrinkled Mother, "

Mother: (Sitting while rubbing chest, limp) Dewi: "Brother, you should not talk like that, if your
sister does not want to go to help mum to paddy. Do not have to talk like that.

Barrel: "Kauuu ... !!!!! (Pointing, pushing the goddess and leaving everything behind ..)
Dewi: "Mom, mother is okay ,,, ?? (Embrace)

Mother: "Already, already, mother is all right, let's go to the paddies..never hurry noon ..
(standing)

Dewi: "Mother, if mother is not strong let Dewi just go to paddy field, just rest at home mother,
,, (invite to sit)

Mother: "No Goddess, (rubbing Dewi's head) Mother is fine. Let's go (stand back, and go the
paddock)

After the mother and her siblings went to the fields, Laras went back home, when he
wanted to get back to beautify his face, it turns out the beauty equipment he has run out, Laras
feel annoyed, which he did just pacing foolish, he was torn to sleep .

Barrel: "Huuggghhh ... My beauty tools are gone, (check out his beauty tool) if so, how can I be
the prettiest woman in this country .. I have to buy it soon ((he resentfully waits for his mother to
fall asleep)

Day was late afternoon, Laras awoke from sleep, he remembered with the tools of beauty
that has run out, not long after the mother and her two younger siblings came. No stale stale
Laras went straight to his new mother to the door and still looked tired.

Barrel: "Mom !! My beauty tool is gone, mother must immediately buy a new one, ??

Dewi: "sister, mother just got home, sister should be more appreciate mother ,,

Mother: "Laras, mother is still tired, tomorrow alone yes, surely mother buy ... (sitting sigh)

Barrel: "No bu !! (Snarling mom) I want it now ...

Dewi: "Sister .. !!! (upset against her sister)

Mother: "It's alright Dewi, let the mother buy now (talk to goddess) but Laras, mother do not
know what kind of beauty instrument you mean, you have to come.

Barrel: "Yes .. I want to come to the market, but with the condition of Mother, Goddess, and
Goddess must walk behind me". (Pointing to one by one person who called)

Dewi: "What is your brother ??" (wonder)

Barrel: "Yeah .. you walk behind me. I am ashamed to walk parallel with you ".

Dewi: "Why should be embarrassed, sister? Are not we a real family? "
Barrel: "You should look in the mirror. Just look at your faces that are not neglected and your
clothes are very dirty indeed. Mother, already wrinkles, smells. Obviously I'm embarrassed!
"(Arrogant)

Although sad, the mother also obeyed the request of her daughter. After that, leave them
to the market in tandem. The barrel goes in front, while his mother follows from behind deign
carrying a basket. Although they are one family, their appearance looks very different. As if they
were not the same family. Lars starlight antic deign nice clothes, while the mother and her two
sisters look very tangled, deign clothes very dirty. In the middle of the journey, Laras meets
deign his friend who lives in another village.

Juned: "Hi barrel ... where are you going? (Shake hands to Laras) "

Barrel: "to market .. (answer barrel slowly)"

Juned: "Then who is behind you? Is she your mother? "(Pointing to a parent carrying a basket").

Barrel: "Of course not my mother! He and They are my helpers, "(replied Laras deign tone
sarcastically).

Juned: "Laras, already antic, well too, willing to bring maid helpers shopping ..." (as if believing
deign answers Laras earlier).

Barrel: (smiling and walking back)

Dewi: "Patience ya bu .." (hugging mother)

Sister !! Why sister talk like that to him. We are not helpers! And this is kak's mother, not a
maid. "(While talking to her sister in parallel)

Barrel: "Ssssyyuuutttt ... .will not embarrass me !!" (closing Dewi's mouth with her forefinger)

Like struck by lightning Darmi's mother heard his daughter's words. But he just paused while
holding back the sadness. After that, they went on the way to the market. After arriving at the
market, a fruit merchant offered his wares to Laras, with his slightly seductive words.

Fruit merchant: "Come neng..buahnya .. buahnya .. !! (Offer) the fruit sweet maniiiis ko neng
like neng ".... (Seduce)

Barrel: "Oh thank you ..." (while selecting fruit and buy it) ..

Trader: "please ,,,, please ... .good guaranteed ko neng ... Must be sweet like the buyer".

Barrel: "Hi .. my helpers ... bring this fruit"

Trader: "Thanks neng ... hope neng more beautiful ..."

Barrel: "Come on my maid now turn to the beauty equipment .." (while tapping her mother's
shoulders))

Mother: (pause and fall)

Dewi: "Mother ... mother why ... ??" (hugging mother)

What's wrong with mother ?? "Mom, mother is okay ??

The mother still does not answer her son's questions. Apparently he was praying to God
to punish his disobedient son. Laras saw her mother's mouth comatose as she raised her hands
upward.

Barrel: "Hey! Mother is what? "(With a snap, turning to his mother)

The mother's prayer: "Yes, God! Forgive your servant who is weak.Hamba is no longer able to
face the attitude of this son of a disobedient servant. Give the law to him! "

Moments later, the sky suddenly became cloudy. Lightning strikes and thunder rumbles
deafening. Heavy rain was down. Slowly, Laras's feet turned to stone. The barrel began to panic.

Barrel: "Mom ...! Mother... ! What happened to my feet, Mom? Adduuhhh kerass once bu
"(asked Laras while shouting.)" Forgive Laras, Excuse Laras Bu! Mrs. Laras will not repeat it
anymore, Mom! "(Exclamation Laras increasingly panicked).

The mother and her sister cry crying to see her son and sister turn to stone. However,
what to make, rice has become porridge. The punishment can no longer be avoided. The
disobedient girl can only cry and cry to regret her actions. Before the child's head turns to stone,
the mother still sees water dripping from her child's eyes. Everyone passing by at that place also
witnessed the event. Not how long, the weather was back to light as usual. The entire body of
Laras has been transformed into stone. The stone then they put on the roadside leaning against
the cliff. By the local people, the stone they named Batu Crying.
