The legend of nene mori crest

Once upon a time, in the deep wild forests at the mountains of South Sulawesi,
lived a girl named mori and her grandmother. They had a white buffalo which
always accompanied them and lived relying on nature by farming and hunting anoa.
“Where do you want to go, ne?” Mori asked her grandmother whom she called as
nene. “I will go to the mountain to hunt. You stay here and look after the fields.
Remember. Don’t go anywhere. I will return,” Nene said mori just nodded

When nen arrived at the mountain, she sat on a big rock and singing, nene’s voice
was blown away by the wind and echoed because it bounced off the mountain
walls and the valley below the mountain crest and it seemed to invite and sounded
like a chant of friendship. Until finally, a huge anoa approached her. Nene, who
could talk to animals spoke to the anoa and said, “where are your coney?” Asked
nene, “they are looking for food. I am the one who is going to be your meal today.
“Anoa replied. With a listiess face, the anoa was carried by nene and until finally it
was slaughtered.when nene got her home, mori welcomed her with a happy face
because she brought a lot af meats. They ate dinner with those meats and veggies
from their farm with joy.

That was the life of nene and mori which was always enveloped in happiness. They
never lacked of food, because nene had a magical power to hunt for anoa and also
their farm never failed because the magic white buffalo always looked after their
fields. But, nene never revealed her power to her grand-daughter. That was made
mori asked herself why all of these good things happened to her life.It was felt like
magic to her, and she believed that there was something nene hid from her.

Until finally, one night after hunting, nene called mori to sit with her, “what’s the
matter, nene?” Mori asked, “listen carefully to my words. I don’t have a will to live
forever in this world, Mori. I will leave you alone forever. When I am gone and you
must come to the rock where I always hunt for anoa and you must scream and soon
the anoa meat will be available, this is my promise to you. If I am still here with you
in this world and you go there, you will not get anything and truly I will leave you my
sweet grand-daughter”.mori listened and promised to her grandmother to obey her
messages
