SANGKURIANG

A long time ago, the ancient land of Sunda was ruled by a king and queen who had but a single
daughter. Her name was Dayang Sumbi. She was beautiful and clever but also pampered and
spolited.

One day as she was weaving in her pavilion, she became moody and distracted, which caused
her to keep dropping her shuttle on the floor. Once when it fell she exclaimed she would marry
the one who gave it back to her. At that very moment her dog Tumang, a demigod possessing
magic powers, came up to her with the shuttle in his mouth. Dayang Sumbi  had to marry him.
They lived happily together, and Dayang Sumbi gave birth to a baby boy, human in appearance
but endowed with his father’s magic powers. She named him Sangkuriang. As the boy grew up,
he was always guarded by the faithful dog Tumang, whom he knew only as a companion and
not as his father, Sangkuriang became handsome and brave.

One day his mother asked him to go hunting with the dog and bring her venison for a feast.
After hunting all day without success, Sangkuriang worried about facing his mother empty-
handed. Desperate, he took an arrow and shot the dog. He returned home and handed over
the meat to his pleased mother. Soon after the feast, however, Dayang Sumbi questioned her
son about the absence of Tumang. At first he evaded her queries but finally told her what had
happened. She was horrified and struck her son so hard on the temple that he collapsed. For
that, the old king banished his daughter from the court and she was made to roam around the
kingdom. Sangkuriang recovered with a large scar on his temple, and he too left the court to
wander about the world.

Years later, Sangkuriang met a beautiful woman and instantly fell in love with her. It was his
own mother-they did not recognize each other. He pro posed to her and she agreed to marry
him. On the day before the wedding, as she was caressing her fiancee’s hair, Dayang Sumbi
detected the scar on the temple. Horror struck her, for she was about to marry her own son,
Sangkuriang. Without revealing the whole truth to him, she tried unsuccessfully to dissuade
him. Desperate to avoid the marriage, she set conditions she thought impossible to meet.
Sangkuriang had to make a lake that filled the whole valpley and build a boat for the couple to
sail in, all before dawn.

Sangkuriang started to work. His love gave him extraordinary strength, and he used his magic
powers to summon the spirits to help him. With boulders and mud they dammed the river in
the valley and the water rose and began to form a lake. In the early morning hours he chopped
down a huge tree in the forest and began hollowing it out to make a boat. When Dayang Sumbi
saw that he was about to accomplish what she has thought impossible, she called on the gods
to bring the sun up early and thwart Sangkuriang.

The cock crowed, the sun rose much earlier than usual, and Sangkuriang realized he had been
deceived. In a fit of fury he caused Dayang Sumbi and kicked the half-finished boat back into
the forest. There it lies upside down today, forming the mountain Tangkuban Perahu (Upturned
Boat). Not far away is the stump of the tree Sangkuriang had felled, now called  Bukit Tinggi.
The dam Sangkuriang had built caused the valley to become a lake, where both Sangkuriang
and Dayang Sumbi drowned themselves. They were never heard of again.

WHY THE SKY IS HIGH

A long time ago, the sky was close to the earth. When you stood up and stretched your arms,
you could touch it.

One day, a farmer brought some coconuts for his wife. His wife wanted to drink the juice inside.
She knocked on of the coconuts against a rock to break open the shell
“That’s not the way to do it, “her husband said. “You should cut it open with a knife”

He gave her his bolo or jungle-knife

His wife raised the knife to cut the coconut shell. “crack !”. As she lifted the knife about her
head it split open the sky and there was heavy rain.

The woman told the sky, “Will you please go a little higher? I can’t raise my knife high enough
to cut this coconut shell”

She raised the knife over her shoulder the second time. Once again, it hit the sky and there was
thunder and lightening

“You are still too low,” the woman said to the sky. “Please go higher.”

She raised the bolo a third time. It still cracked the sky. There was a typhoon, and the woman’s
house was almost blown away by the fierce wind.

“What are you doing?” cried her husband, “Can’t you even try to open a coconut shell without
causing a typhoon?”

“It’s not me,” his wife answered. “It’s the sky which is too low”. I need more room to use the
knife.”

Finally, the woman became very angry. She looked up and shouted at sky. “You’d better do as I
told. Otherwise I shall cut you to pieces.”

The clouds rose and rose and the sky went up higher and higher. That’s why it is now so high.
