The legend of Lau Kawar Lake

It was a beautiful day. Everybody in the Kawar village was happy. The farmers had just had their best
harvest. The villagers were planning to hold a party to celebrate the good harvest. On one beautiful day,
all the villagers gathered in a field. They wore beautiful dresses and made delicious food. Everybody was
having good times! They were singing, laughing and, of course, eating delicious food.
Did everyone go to the party? Unfortunately, there was one old woman still staying at her house. She was
too old and weak to go to the party. Her son, her daughter-in-law, and her grandchildren all went to the
party. At home, the old woman felt very sad and lonely. She was very hungry too. She tried to find some
food in the kitchen, but she was very disappointed. Her daughter-in-law did not cook that day. At the
party, the son asked her wife, Why dont you take some food from the party and give it to my mom? Ask
our son to deliver it. Then the little boy brought the food to her grandmother. The old woman was so
happy. But her happiness turned into sadness when she saw the food was not in a good condition. It
seemed that someone had eaten the food. She just got little rice and fish bones.
The old woman was very sad. She thought bad things about her son. The old woman did not know that it
was her grandson who had eaten the food on the way from the party to the house. She cursed her son.
Then, a terrible thing happened. There was a great earthquake! Thunders struck the village. And heavy
rains started to fall. All the villagers were so scared. They wanted to save themselves. They tried to find
shelters. Slowly, the field turned into a lake. The lake was getting bigger and bigger, and finally the whole
village turned into a big lake. People then named the lake Lau Kawar
