1. Sangkuriang

Long time ago in West Java, a woman named Dayang Sumbi lived. She lived alone in the forest.

One day, Dayang Sumbi was quilting. Suddenly, her quilt fell off her house. Then, she prayed to Gods, "If
a man picks up my quilt, he will be my husband. If a woman, she will be my sister. Then, a male dog picks
it up. For keeping her words, Dayang Sumbi married the dog and called him Tumang. Dayang Sumbi gave
birth to a baby, named him Sangkuriang, but never told him who his father was.

One day, Sangkuriang was hunting with Tumang in the forest and he found nothing. He blamed Tumang
for the failure and killed him. When Dayang Sumbi knew that, she hit Sangkuriang's head with a big
spoon and asked him to go.

Many years later, the wandering Sangkuriang found a house in the forest, and an old beautiful woman
was in the house. The woman, Dayang Sumbi, recognized the adventurer as Sangkuriang. Sangkuriang
forced her to marry him and Dayang Sumbi asked him to make a vast boat in one night.

At night, Sangkuriang called his friends, ghosts and forest fairies to help him. Dayang Sumbi feared the
boat could be finished on time, so she asked some women nearby to help her. The woman hit the grains
with grain puncher to make noise which disturbed the ghosts and the fairies. The ghosts and the fairies
ran away before completing the boat. Sangkuriang was very angry. He kicked away the boat upside
down, and it turned into a mountain called Tangkuban Perahu. It means the downside boat, which stood
in the north of Bandung.

2. Rubah and bangau

Once upon a time, there was a fox and a stork who lived in a jungle. The two animals were neighbors. The
cunning fox one day thought of a devious plan to amuse himself at the expense of the good-natured stork, at
whose odd appearance he was always laughing.

“You must come and have dinner with me today,” the fox said to the stork one day, smiling to himself at the
trick he was going to play on the poor stork.

The stork happily accepted the invitation and arrived in good time for dinner and with a very good appetite.
The fox served soup for dinner but in a very very shallow dish.

The stork could not drink it but was only able to wet the very tip of his bill in it. On the other hand, the fox
drank it up easily and, to increase the disappointment of his neighbor, made a great show of enjoyment.

The poor and hungry stork was much displeased at the fox’s trick, but he was calm and saw no good in flying
into a rage.

Not long afterwards, the stork invited the fox to have dinner with him at his house. The fox arrived promptly
at the stork’s house at the decided time. The stork served a fish dinner with a very appetizing aroma. But this
time, the stork served in a tall jar with quite a narrow neck.

The stork could get at the food easily with his long beak, but the fox couldn’t. All the fox could do was sniff at
the delicious aroma.The fox lost his temper, but the stork said calmly.

“One should not play tricks on their neighbours unless they can stand the same treatment themselves”.
