MALIN KUNDANG

*once upon a time, on the beach of Sweet Water, there lived a

widow named Mande Rubayah.*

He has a son named Malin Kundang.*

*Since childhood, Malin Kundang has been used to doing

various jobs*

Mande (mother): "Malin, can you help me?"

Malin: "Yes mother, wait a moment" *Malin helps his mother*

Malin: "Mother, how long will we survive with this condition? I

want a change in our lives."

Mother: "I don't know, son, but we have to be patient and don't
stop praying to Allah."

*One day during a break during work. Malin Kundang heard

that a large ship belonging to a rich merchant was anchored at
Air Asin Beach.*

*At that moment, Malin Kundang's desire to go abroad arose to

change their fate, Malin immediately asked his mother for
permission to go abroad*

Malin Kundang: "Mother, I want to ask for your blessing"

Mother: "Where are you going, son?"

Malin: "I want to go abroad to change our fate"

Mother: "Malin, do you have the heart to leave your old mother
living at home alone?"

Malin: "Malin doesn't have the heart either. But Malin also
wants to change the fate of our family so we can become rich.
Malin is tired of living poor."

Mother: "Okay, Malin. If that is your decision. I will give you my

blessing. My prayers will always be with you."

Malin: "Thank you for your prayers and blessings, Mom. Malin
promises to come home and pick up mom when he is
successful."

*The next day his mother brought him. Malin Kundang went to
the rich merchant's palace.*

*Since then, Malin Kundang worked with the rich merchant.

Malin Kundang was even married off to one of the rich
merchant's children because Malin Kundang worked more and
more diligently. Thanks to his intelligents, Malin Kundang has
now become very rich.

*One day Malin Kundang and his wife sailed to where Malin
Kundang's mother lived.*

*knowing this, Malin Kundang's mother immediately went to the

dock while calling Malin from a distance*

Mother: "Malin!! Malinn!! My child!!"

*Malin Kundang's wife was confused and asked Malin Kundang
if that was his mother, but Malin Kundang didn't answer his
wife's question*

*Malin walks away from his mother and pretends not to know
her*

Malin: Don't call me your daughter, dirty woman!"

Malin's mother: Malin, why are you here, son? I'm your mother.
You have promised to come back to this village to meet me..

Malin: "Go. Go now, you!"

*After forcefully pushing his mother away, Malin returned to his

ship. Meanwhile his mother, still screaming his name*

*Malin's mother lost her patience when she saw her son's
behavior. Then, in annoyance, he cursed his child to become a
stone. Malin's angry mother said that it became a prayer that
was heard by God.*

*suddenly a storm came and destroyed Malin's ship, lightning

struck his body. And ..*

Malin: “What happened? My body can't move! I'm sorry, Mother.

Forgive me ...!"

*Malin turned into stone when he asked his mother for

forgiveness. The ship, crew and wife sank to the bottom of the
sea.*
