Crying Stone

Once upon a time, in Kalimantan. There lived a mother with her daughter.
The daughter, named Lisa Yadomaru, was really a beautiful girl. But, she had a
bad character. She was an arrogant, lazy girl. She never helped her mother to do
some house work. She always admired her beauty everyday.
Lisa was also a spoiled girl, when she wanted something, her mother had to
make it. Lisa's mother, Ise Nanao, was really pity. She had to work day and
night, but Lisa was doing nothing.
One day, Lisa and her mother went out. They wanted to buy something in
the market. The location of the market was really far from home, so they had to
walk miles away.
Lisa was walking in front of her mother. She wore a beautiful dress.
Meanwhile, her mother was walking behind Lisa. Nanao's dress was dirty and
ugly. She brought an umbrella. No one expected that the two people who walked
was a mother and her daughter.
When they entered the village, the villagers saw Lisa and admired her.
They're so amuzed with the girl's beauty. But, when they saw the woman who
walked behind Lisa they wondered Who was the old woman?
 One of the villagers asked to the girl.
"Hey, beautiful girl. Is that your mother who walks behind you?" asked
one of the villagers.
Lisa arrogantly said, "Of course no, she is my maid." Said Lisa.
They continued the journey. And then, a young man met them and
asked a question.
"Hey sweety, is that your mother who walks behind you?" asked the
young man.
"No…..of course no, can't you see that? She's really different with me.
How could you say that she's my mother? She is my slave." Replied Lisa.
Every time they walked, Lisa said that the woman walked behind her
was her maid or her slave. She never admitted that the woman is her
mother.
Nanao was really disappointed with her daughter. She couldn't bear it.
Lisa's saying hurted her heart. The poor mother finally prayer to God.
"Oh God. I can't stand this. My daughter always humiliates me. I am so
disappointed with her. Please give her punishment, God, please…" prayer
Nanao.
With the power of God, suddenly Lisa's body turned into a stone little by
little. The changes of the body started from the leg and the other parts of
the body. Lisa cried and asked for a help to her mother.
"Please….forgive me mother…..forgive for my attitude….please
mother…..please help me." Cried Lisa. But, it was too late. All of Lisa's body
was turned into a stone.
Although all of Lisa's body was turned into a stone, the people still could
see that the stone was crying. The people called the stone "The Crying
