MALIN KUNDANG
Once upon a time, there was a poor fisherman named Malin Kundang who
lived in a small village on the coast of West Sumatra, Indonesia. Despite his
humble origins, Malin Kundang had dreams of wealth and success, and he left
his village to seek his fortune in the big city.
Years passed, and Malin Kundang became very rich through his hard work and
business acumen. He married a beautiful woman and had a son, but he never
returned to his village or acknowledged his past.
One day, Malin Kundang's ship was anchored near the coast of his hometown,
and he saw an old woman waving at him from the shore. She was none other
than his mother, who had been looking for him for years. Malin Kundang was
embarrassed by his humble origins and refused to admit it, instead ordering his
crew to sail and leave the coast.
As the ship sailed away, a storm suddenly arose, and the ship was hit by huge
waves. Malin Kundang tried to save himself, but he slipped and fell to the deck,
where he was struck by lightning and turned into a stone statue.

THE END

The summary of the legendary Malin Kundang story turns out to have its own
moral message. From this story, we can understand that a mother's love is
second to none. He is willing to live alone, in order to let his son pursue his
dreams in someone else's city.
Apart from that, the Malin Kundang folklore also teaches us to always
remember the parents who raised us. Not only that, we also have to be
devoted to our parents because thanks to their prayers and support, we can
achieve success.
