went hunting to the woods using his gun. When he went hunting, Tumang always go with him. One day,
Dayang Sumbi wanted to eat a deer's heart, so she asked her son to hunt for a deer.

DAYANG SUMBI
: "Oh my dearest son, today, suddenly i feel like eating a deer's heart. Will you go hunt it for your mom?"

SANGKURIANG
: "Of course, mom. It's my pleasure to do it. I will go hunt to the wood right now. Bye-bye, Mom. Let's
go, Tumang!

NARATOR:
Then Sangkuriang went to the wood holding his gun and with his faithful dog, Tumang. But, after several
days in the wood, Sangkuriang couldn't find any deer. They were all disappeared. Sangkuriang was
exstremely tired and desperate. He sat below on the tree and talk to himself.

SANGKURIANG
:"What should I do right now? I couldn't find any deer after several days hunting. What should i do
now?!"

NARATOR:
He looked at Tumang. His faithful dog is laying beside him right now. It is Tired, then Sangkuriang
holds his gun and shot Tumang right in its heart.

SANGKURIANG
: "Sorry Tumang, its doesnt seem right, but I have to find an animal heart to replace the deer's heart"

NARATOR:
Sangkuriang really didn't want to disappointed his mother so he killed Tumang. Sangkuriang didn't know
that Tumang is actually his father. Sangkuriang went home and bring Tumang's heart to give it to
his mother.

SANGKURIANG
: "Mom, here it is. Deer's heart. I have been looking for it for several days. All deers were all disappear
suddenly. Then I found this only one deer this morning.”

DAYANG SUMBI
:"Awww.. thank you so much, my dearest son. Anyways,where is Tumang? I don't see him around with
you.”

SANGKURIANG
"Ermmm...please, don't be mad at me if I'm being honest to you. I really couldn't find any deer at the
jungle. And... and I don't want to disappoint you. So I killed.... Tumang."
DAYANG SUMBI
: “WHAT? WHAT DID YOU SAY, SANGKURIANG? YOU KILLEDTUMANG? YOU KILLED HIM, HUH?
YOU KILLED HIM?"

NARATOR:
Dayang Sumbi was very upset that she couldn't handle her emotion so she hit Sangkuriang at his head.
Sangkuriang was wounded. There was a big scar on his head.

DAYANG SUMBI
:"YOU ARE SUCH AN USELESS SON. STUPID!! NOW, STAY AWAY FROM ME! LEAVE ME
ALONE! GET OUT FROM THIS HOUSE! GO!!!!!!!".

NARATOR:
Days by days, weeks by weeks, months by months, years by years. Many years passed and Sangkuriang
has grown up to a very strong and atractive young man. But, he still has a scar on his head which was
being hit by his mother. Sangkuriang wandered everywhere, one day he arrived at his own mansion but
didn't realize it. There, he met Dayang Sumbi

SANGKURIANG
: "Wow.. How beautiful is that woman. I need to know her. But... her face looks so familiar, but…ah
nevermind."

SANGKURIANG
"What's your name miss?"

DAYANG SUMBI
"My name is Dayang Sumbi sir, and what is your name sir?"

SANGKURIANG
: "My name is Sangkuriang"

NARATOR:
At the tipme, Dayang Sumbi was given an eternal beauty by God, so she is forever young. Both of them,
didn't recognize each other. They fell in love at the first sight. They chat and share about status until the
sun goes down.

DAYANG SUMBI
"I think there's a scar on your head?"

SANGKURIANG
"Really?"

DAYANG SUMBI
"Yes. Can you tell me why the wound? "*Sangkuriang suddenly remembered litle of her past*

DAYANG SUMBI
"What was the cause of the wound?
SANGKURIANG
"That hit by my own mother."

DAYANG SUMBI
"? Huh Hit?"

NARATOR:
Dayang Sumbi almost fainted because too upset that she is now realized that this man was her son.

DAYANG SUMBI
:"Oh my God! Hey you're my son”

SANGKURIANG
:"What? Mom? You're not my mom, she's old now! Haha.. You must be kidding me.”

NARATOR:
It was impossible for them to marry, Dayang Sumbi told him about that but he doesn't believe it. He
wished to marry her soon. So, Dayang Sumbi gave a very dificult conditon. She wanted sangkuriang to
build a yacth in a night, she said, she needed that for honeymoon.

DAYANG SUMBI
"It is impposible for us to marry! You are my son, Sangkuriang. See that scar on your head? I hit you
long time ago, remember?We can't..”

SANGKURIANG
: "Me? Your son? Like seriously, if you were my mom, you would be way older than me.”

DAYANG SUMBI
"No... you are my son, Sangkuriang. I am your mommy.”

SANGKURIANG
"No way! You must be kidding me!"

DAYANG SUMBI
"Okay if you don't believe me, I will marry you.. BUT..build me a yacth, in a night!”

SANGKURIANG
"Okay, if I finished it in a night, you must marry me !" *Genie comes out from a door*

SANGKURIANG
Genieeeee, Genie!!

GENIE
I am here, master

SANGKURIANG
"Oh, Genie. I need your help, my future wife wants me to build a yacht for her in a night."

GENIE
"Ha.. So easy master. I could make it in less than a night."
NARATOR:
Then he started building the yacth. It was almost morning when he nearly finished it. Meanwhile,
Dayang Sumbi keep watching on them. She was worried, then she asking her maids how to stop or make
he failed to fulfil her wish. And then her maids give an answer about that.

MAID 1
: “Oh Your Majesty, I have a plan for that. What if we were to roll out a large red-coloured silk cloth in
the east and wake up the roosters?”

MAID 2
: “That's right, your Majesty then it will look like the time of dawn will arrive.”

DAYANG SUMBI
: “That's right...if that's the case, prepare a red silk cloth and make all the chickens get up and croak.”

MAID 1 & 2
: “Yes your Majesty, we will do it immediately.”

MAID 2
: “Let's all hurry up, immediately prepare a large red silk cloth!.”

MAID 1
: “Quickly all set up well!.”

NARATOR
As soon as the work was almost complete, Dayang Sumbi ordered her maids to spread a red-coloured silk
cloth in the east and it made lights in the east by waving the cloth and wake the roosters to crow. The
atmosphere of night turned into that of dawn.

MAID 2
: “Your Majesty, we have prepared everything.”

MAID 1
: “The other maids are getting ready to do it, Your Majesty.”

NARATOR
When he saw the red colour in the east of the city, Sangkuriang thought the day was over. The genie
thought that it was already done. It was time for it to let Sangkuriang alone. Without its help he
couldn't finish the yacht.

GENIE
: "What..... I gotta go, master. The sun is going up. Bye bye"

SANGKURIANG
: "Nooooo don’t leave meee..."

DAYANG SUMBI
: "Oh.. I'm really sorry to say but... you failed. I am sorry but I can't marry you, Sangkuriang. It's morning
already and.. you haven't finished the yacht I asked you."
NARATOR:
Sangkuriang was very angry and he kicked the yacht, and the yacht turned out to be Mount Tangkuban
Perahu. It means, the upside-down yacht, because from a distant it looks like so.
