NAI MANGGALE

Once upon a time, there lived a well-known sculpture in Tapanuli, North


Sumatra. His name was Datu
Panggana. He was very talented. All of his statues were very artistic and he
could carve wood into many
things.
One day, he got an idea to carve a wood into a statue of a beautiful woman.
Then, he put the statue in front of his house.it was not finished yet. The statue still
had no clothes yet. Later, a young merchant passed by in front of Datu Panggana’s
house. His name was Bao Partigatiga. He sold jewelries and clothes. He was very
impressed by the beauty of the statue.
“She would be more beautiful by wearing my clothes,” said Bao Partigatiga. He
then put on the clothes he wanted to sell. Bao Partigatiga was very contented now.
The statue looked like a real human. Then he left Datu Panggana’s house. After that,
a priest and his wife passed by. They were also impressed by the beauty of the
state. “I want to pray to God to make her live like a real human. I want to make her
our daughter, “said the priest to his wife. The couple hadn’t had any children yet.
Their dream came true. The statue changed into a very beautiful girl. The priest and
his wife then took the girl home. They named her Nai Manggale.
The news about Nai Manggale spread very fast. All the villagers came to the
priest’s house to see her. Among them were Dat Panggana and Bao Partigatiga.
Datu Panggana said, “she has to stay in my house. The statue was mine.” But Bao
Partigatiga also claimed the same things. “she is wearing my clothes. so, she has to
stay in my house.” The priest did not want to deprive of Nai Manggale. “remember,
I am the one who made her live like a human. So, she stays here.” Those three men
then were busy arguing. They claimed to have the rights of Nai Manggale.
To calm them, an elderly of the village gave a solution. His name was Aji bahir.”
You all can have her and have a relationship with her. Datu Panggana, you are her
uncle. Bao Partigatiga, you are her brother. And you the priest, you are her father.”
The three men had no objection to Aji Bahir’s advice. And now they were happy
because they all could ask her to stay in their houses. Beside that, now those three
men were related.
