Once upon a time, there lived a very wise king who ruled a kingdom in Cipanas, West Java. The
king and queen had a beautiful daughter who they loved very much. However, the princess never
felt happy. Her parents’ gifts of jewelry didn’t make the princess happy. Do you know her
problem? She was never satisfied with her looks. Why? Well she wanted to be the most beautiful
girl in the world!
Then, the princess had an idea. She planned to place all the jewelry on every single hair on
her head. So the princess met the king and queen and told them about her plan.
The king was surprised to hear about his daugther’s plan. He tried to convince her that her
plan was improper.”My dearest daughter, the beauty of a princess is not measured by her clothes
or jewelry she is wearing, but by her attitude. It’s not that we don’t love you, but what will our
people think if you go through with your plan?” asked the king.
Feeling certain that her parents would grant her wish, the princess was shocked to hear the
king’s response. Immediately, she ran to her room to get her jewelry box and returned to her
parents soon after.
Before the king and queen, she screamed, “You are so miserly! Here, I am returning every
single piece of your jewelry you ever gave me.” She threw the jewelry box at the king.
The wise king was outraged seeing what his daughter did. He said, “What an ungrateful
daughter!”
Suddenly, the floor of the palace cracked and water poured out from the cracks. In a second
the palace was flooded, drowning the ungrateful princess and her jewelry. Guess what! The
palace turned into a lake!
Well, the lake always reflects multiple colors in its surrounding. A number of people say the
colours come from the princess’ jewelry. That’s why, the lake is known as Telaga Warna which
means a colorful lake

A long time ago, in a small village near the beach in West Sumatra, a woman and her son lived.
They were Malin Kundang and her mother. Her mother was a single parent because Malin
Kundang’s father had passed away when he was a baby. Malin Kundang had to live hard with his
mother.
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 sold the caught fish in the town.
One day, when Malin Kundang was sailing, he saw a merchant’s ship which was being raided by
a small band of pirates. He helped the merchant. With his brave and power, Malin Kundang
defeated the pirates. The merchant was so happy and thanked to him. In return the merchant
asked Malin Kundang to sail with him. To get a better life, Malin Kundang agreed. He left his
mother alone.
Many years later, Malin Kundang became wealthy. He had a huge ship and was helped by many
ship crews loading trading goods. Perfectly he had a beautiful wife too. When he was sailing his
trading journey, his ship landed on a beach near a small village. The villagers recognized him.
The news ran fast in the town; “Malin Kundang has become rich and now he is here”.
An old woman ran to the beach to meet the new rich merchant. She was Malin Kundang’s
mother. She wanted to hug him, released her sadness of being lonely after so long time.
Unfortunately, when the mother came, Malin Kundang who was in front of his well-dressed wife
and his ship crews denied meeting that old lonely woman. For three times her mother begged
Malin Kundang and for three times he yelled 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. He would leave the old mother again but in that time she was full of both
sadness and angriness.
Finally, enraged, she cursed Malin Kundang that he would turn into a stone if he didn’t
apologize. Malin Kundang just laughed and really set sail.
In the quiet sea, suddenly a thunderstorm came. His huge ship was wrecked and it was too late
