THE LEGEND OF SINGKARAK LAKE

In long time ago , in a small region in nagari Minangkabau, there lived

Buyung's family. Buyung lives in a small hut on the edge of the rice field with his
wife and son. Buyung's son is still small, he is named Indra. Everyday, Mr.
Buyung and his wife collect forest products and catch fish.

Indra often helps his parents both in the forest and in the sea. This makes
his parents proud. However, there are things that make them worried. In one
meal, Indra can spend half a basket of rice with a few dishes.

One time, the famine season came. Pak Buyung's family also had to
downsize. If there is no rice, they eat sweet potatoes or something else. The
difficulty in getting food made them almost give up. "Father, I'm very hungry,"
complained Indra. "If you're hungry, look for food in the forest or in the sea!"
Exclaimed the father. "You are still a child, but you eat a lot." The mother also
persuaded Indra to go to Bukit Junjung Sirih to look for forest products in Bukit.
Indra complied. Before leaving, he feeds his domestic chicken named Taduang.

Taduang is a smart chicken. Every time Indra returned, Taduang always

crowed to welcome his master. By noon, Indra returned home without bringing
 results. After resting, he went to the sea to look for fish. Shortly after, the mother
also went to a headland, some distance from where Indra was fishing.

In the afternoon, the mother came home with lots of shells. Then, the
mussels are processed into food. "Wow, it really smells good," said the father.
"Are these clams enough for three of us to eat? Indra eats a lot. "

"What should we do?" Asked the mother.

"How about we eat quietly?" Suggested the father. The mother nodded.
Then, both of them ate the mussels gently.

Towards night, Indra returned. Indra is very hungry. Once inside, he

headed for the kitchen. How surprised he was when he saw his parents asleep in
the kitchen. Surrounding them were scattered dinner plates, rice baskets, and
clam shells.

How sad Indra's heart witnessed all that. He walked out of his hut while
crying. Seeing Indra's sadness, Taduang crowed many times, then flapped his
wings. A few moments later, Taduang flew into the air. Indra immediately held
onto Taduang's feet. When the Indian body was lifted, Indra's seated stone sat up
and raised. Then, the stone shot and hit one of the hills around the sea. The
impact formed an elongated hole. Quickly, sea water fills the hole to form a river
flow.

Buyung's family. Buyung lives in a small hut on the edge of the rice field with his
wife and son. Buyung's son is still small, he is named Indra. Everyday, Mr.
Buyung and his wife collect forest products and catch fish.

Indra often helps his parents both in the forest and in the sea. This makes
his parents proud. However, there are things that make them worried. In one
meal, Indra can spend half a basket of rice with a few dishes.

One time, the famine season came. Pak Buyung's family also had to
downsize. If there is no rice, they eat sweet potatoes or something else. The
difficulty in getting food made them almost give up. "Father, I'm very hungry,"
complained Indra. "If you're hungry, look for food in the forest or in the sea!"
Exclaimed the father. "You are still a child, but you eat a lot." The mother also
persuaded Indra to go to Bukit Junjung Sirih to look for forest products in Bukit.
Indra complied. Before leaving, he feeds his domestic chicken named Taduang.

Taduang is a smart chicken. Every time Indra returned, Taduang always
