THE LEGEND OF MALIN KUNDANG
A long time ago, in a small village near the beach in West Sumatra lived a woman and her son,
Malin Kundang. Malin Kundang and his mother had to live hard because his father had passed
away when he was a baby. Malin Kundang was a healthy, dilligent, and strong boy. He usually
went to sea to catch fish. After getting fish he would bring it to his mother, or sell the caught
fish in the town.
One day, when Malin Kundang was sailing, he saw a merchant’s ship being raided by a band of
pirates. With his bravery, Malin Kundang helped the merchant defeat the pirates. To thank him,
the merchant allowed Malin Kundang to sail with him. Malin Kundang agreed in the hope to get
a better life. He left his mother alone.
Many years later, Malin Kundang became wealthy. He had a huge ship and a lot of crews who
worked loading trading goods. He was also married to a beautiful woman. When he was sailing
on his trading journey, his ship landed on a coast near a small village. The local people
recognized that it was Malin Kundang, a boy from the area. The news ran fast in the town;
“Malin Kundang has become rich and now he is here”.
An old woman, who was Malin Kundang’s mother, ran to the beach to meet the new rich
merchant. She wanted to hug him to release her sadness of being lonely after a long time.
When his mother came near him, Malin Kundang who was with his beautiful wife and his ship
crews denied that she was his mother. She had pleaded Malin Kundang to look at her and admit
that she was his mother. But he kept refusing to do it and yelling at her. At last Malin Kundang
said to her “Enough, old woman! I have never had a mother like you, a dirty and ugly woman!”
After that he ordered his crews to set sail to leave the old woman who was then full of sadness
and anger. Finally, feeling enraged, she cursed Malin Kundang that he would turn into a stone if
he didn’t apologize to her. Malin Kundang just laughed and set sail. Suddenly a thunderstorm
came in the quiet sea, wrecking his huge ship. He was thrown out to a small island. It was really
too late for him to avoid his curse; he had turned into a stone.

kingdom of Klungkung in Bali. The king of Klungkung was killed, yet his daughter, Made Surati,
and his son, Agung Bagus Mantra, were able to escape and hide in the jungle.
Prabu Menak Prakoso had a son named Raden Banterang. He was such a handsome young
man. One day, Raden Banterang went to the jungle for hunting. It was in the jungle that Raden

dirty beggar asking for her pity. The princess was surprised to find that the beggar was her older
brother, Agung Bagus Mantra. She promptly squatted and embraced her brother’s legs.

with her and came up with a sly idea to slander her.

truth and denied her husband’s accusation. Hearing his wife explanation, the king became

request, she asked her husband to throw her dead body into the river. She said that if the water
in the river smelled terrible, it meant that she had ever been sinful. But if it smelled fragrant, it
meant that she was innocent.

his wife’s chest. She died instantly. The dead body of Made Surati was quickly thrown into the
dirty river. Raden Banterang was shocked to see the river suddenly become clean and as clear
as glass with a fragrant smell. Raden Banteraflll screamed crazily and regretted his deed. He
