Once upon a time there lived a fisherman family in the coastal area in Sumatra. That family consisted of the father, the mother and a son named Malin Kundang. Because of the wistful economic, the father decided to earn the life overseas by sailing across the the sea.
Then lived Main Kundang and his mother in their shack. One week, two weeks, a month, two months even one year long had passed, Malin’s father didn’t come back. So that his mother had to take over the responsibility of Malin’s father in earning life. Malin was a smart boy but he was also a corner boy. He often chased after hens and stoke them with a broom. One day, when she was chasing hen, he stumbled by a stone and his right hand was injured. The scar on his right hand couldnt be disappeared.
Growing older, Malin Kundang felt pity of his mother’s that had worked so hard in earning life to raise him. He thought about earning life overseas and becoming rich. Malin was attracted by the offer of ship’s captain that had transformed from needy person to rich person.
Malon Kundang told his willingness to his mother. Formerly his mother disagreed about that, but Malin continued staying on with his idea. Finally Malin’s mother gave her permission even with heavy heart. After preparing stock and equipments, Malin went to the port accompanied by his other. “My son, when you had been success and become rich person, do not forget your mom and this hometown,” said Malin’s mother with tears.
Gradually the ship Malin took became more and more far away. During the voyage, Malin learned a lot about art of navigation from the experienced ship crews. In the middle of voyage suddenly the ship was attacked b he pirate. All the commodities was robbed by the pirate. Even almost all of the crews and the people on the ship were killed by the pirate. Malin Kundang was so lucky not being killed at that incident. He was hiding in a small room covered by wood.
Malin Kundang had been floated on the ship before that ship reached the coastal area. With his last energy Malin walked into the nearest village near the coastal area. Arriving at that village, Malin was helped by the villagers. He told about what had happened. The village where Malin drifted ashore was a prosperous village. With his toughness and persistence in working, gradually Malin had become rich person. He had many merchant ships and more than 100 crews. He also married a young lady to be his wife.
The news of Malin Kundang becoming rich and having been married was extended to Malin’s other. She was so grateful and happy because of her son success. Starting from that time, every day Malin Kundang’s mother came to the pier, waited for her son coming home.
After several years married, Malin and his wife sailed with a big an beautiful ship and also with many crews. Malin Kundang’s mother saw that beautiful ship entering the port. She saw the two persons standing above the deck. She believed that they were his son and his daughter in law.
Malin Kundang debarked. He was welcomed by his mother. After being close enough, his mother saw the scar on the man’s right hand. She totally convinced that that man was Malin Kundang. “Malin Kundang, my son, why have you gone without giving any news? She said while hugging Malin Kundang.
But what happened next? Immediately Malin Kundang disengaged the hugh and pushed her till she felt down. “What such a cad you are. How dare you admitted as my mom” Malin Kundang said to his mom. Malin Kundang pretended that he did not recognize his mom because his mom was so old and wore frayed clothes.
“Is she your mom?” asked Malin Kundang’s wife.
“No, she is only a beggar admitting as my mom just to ask some money,” answered Malin to his wife.
Hearing that statement and being bady treated Malin’s mother became so angry. She never though that her son would be that insubordinate son. Because her anger had reached the peak, Malin’s mother raised her hands and said,” If he were my son, I cursed him becoming stone.”
Not long after that curse, the wind blowed so hardly and a big storm happened cruised Malin’s ship. And gradually, Malin’s body became stiff and stiffer. Nad finally his body was transformed into a statue.
