A long time ago,lived a girl with her mother near a town in kalimantan. The
girl named was darmi. Darmi is very beautiful. Everyday, she wears make
up and her best clothes. She always wanted to rich snd beautiful. She
never help her mother. She is very lazy and spoiled girl.

One day, Darmi’s mother accompany her to the market. ’’Oke... but, i don’t
want to walk beside you, you have to walk behind me’’. With a sad heart
her to mother agreed. So, Darmi walked in front of her mother followed
behind her was.

The girl and her mother looked very different. The girl looked very
beautiful in her pretty dress, while her mother looked old in her simple
dress.

On the way to the market, people greeted the beautiful girl and asked who
the old woman behind her was. Then, she replied to them, that she was
her servant.

Her mother was very sad.But, she couldn’t anything. she offended for the
insult. Then, she said to darmi ’’darmi... how could you keep telling thoose
people that i am not you mother?’’
And darmi said ’’Mom... i have to do that, because i don’t want they laught
at me , if they find out that you are my mother, we look so different’’

’’Enough darmi !!! You have hurt me ! So deep that i cant stand on it any
longer.Whoever and Whatever i am ? You must honour me as your own
mother’’. said her mother.

Her mother couldn’t bear the pain anymore, she prayed to god to punish
her daughter’s. ’’My dear lord... I cant stand on my daughter’s
behavior.she’s been to far in hurting me. Please, give her a punishment to
make feel sorry for what she has done to me’’.

And God answer her prayed. Slowly , darmi’s legs turned into stone and
procces continued to upper part of the girl’s body. She’s began to be
panic, she felt sorry sorry and cried for help her mother’s.’’ Mom... please,
forgive me’’. said the girl. but, it was too late.

Finally, her whole body turned into stone. untill now, people can still see
the tears falling down the stone. That’s why the stone’s is called ’’ crying
stone’’.

can get from the story. that ’’We as child should respect our parent’s’’, a
specially to our mother.

That’s all my story thank you very much for fully attention and
