The Legend of MalinKundang
A long time ago in a small village near the beach in west Sumatra , there lived a woman and her son,
Malin Kundang. MalinKundang’s father had died when he was a baby, so he had to live hard with his
mother. Malin Kundang was healthy, diligent and strong boy. He usually went to the beach to catch fish
and brought it to his mother or sold it in town.
One day when Malin Kundang was fishing as usual, he saw a merchant’s ship which was being raided by
a small band of pirates. With his brave and power, Malin Kundang defeated the pirates. The merchant
was so happy and asked Malin Kundang to sail with him. Malin Kundang agreed.
And then MalinKundang went sailing with the merchant. Years by years past by, finally MalinKundang
became a wealth merchant with a huge ship. Loaded of trading goods and many ship crews, Malin
Kundang had a wish. He wanted to marry to a rich woman. Then he met a princess, her name was Puan
Azizah. She was a noblewoman. They were married. MalinKundang loved his wife so much and his wife
was too. They got happy life. Mallin Kundang went sailing with many ship crew and his wife. In journey
Puan Azizah asked him.
Suddenly a thunder roaded. It wrecked Malin’s ship. He was thrown by the wave of his ship.and then
suddenly MalinKundang became a stone.
Ok ladies and gentlemen, that’s the end of my story. What can we learn from this story? Yups we should
love and respect our mother however and whoever she is. Because our paradise is in our mother’s feet.
Ok everybody thank you for your attention and I’m sorry if I made a mistakes.
