THE LEGEND OF MALIN KUNDANG
A long time ago, in a small village near the beach in West Sumatra lived a woman and her
son, Malin Kundang. Malin Kundang and his mother had to live hard because his father had passed
away when he was a baby. Malin Kundang was a healthy, dilligent, 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 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.

rabbit.
“Oho,” the lion said. “Didn’t you mention me to him?”
“Yes, indeed, “the rabbit replied. “But it would have been better if I hadn’t. When I
described how strong you were, he just sneered and said dreadfully rude things. He even went so
far as to say that he wouldn’t take you for his attendant!”
 The lion flew into a rage and roared, “Where is he? Where is he?” Soon the rabbit took
the lion a hill and, not going to near herself, pointed to a well from a distance, and said, “He is

dance, forgetting all problems.

dared go inside. However, Wedana (chief of a district) Kertodiprojo, went to the cave to find out
what was wrong. He found out that the cave was inhabited by the annoying evil spirits. The
people chased the spirits away.
The cave is dark, so people need light, and a local guide will lead the way. Sometimes
visitors bump their heads against the sharp rocks on the ceiling.
Inside the cave there is a plain. Big stone which is believed to be the prayer mat of
Pangeran Diponogoro, one of the Indonesia heroes who fought against the dutch. It is said that

meditation. There is a stream in the cave, in the east corner, which can only be seen outside.
