The Flowers from the Moon
High in the mountains of Mt. Kubo, a far, less travelled and quite
unknown place lived a tall, dark and handsome prince whose great
wish was to journey to the moon, because he loved its gentle glow.
His dream finally came true, when the full moon came. When he
reached the glowing and brilliant moon he discovered its light came
from the moon king’s beautiful and gorgeous daughter. He meets the
moon king’s daughter and the two young people soon fall in love, but
the worlds they come from was just too different and soon they had
to part. As a sign of her great love, the moon king’s daughter gave
the prince one of the smooth and lovely flowers that covered the
moon like snow and this was how the first alpine flower was brought
to earth.

Saint Valentine
Saint Valentine was a tall, blue-eyed priest who lived long ago
at the time of the Roman Emperor, Claudius II. Claudius
would not let soldiers marry. However, Valentine secretly
performed marriage services for them. Then, he was
discovered and was thrown in a dark and dirty jail. Valentine
fell in love with the jailer’s daughter while he was in prison.
On the day he was put to death he sent her a little note which
he signed, Your Valentine. Nowadays, many people think that
Saint Valentine’s Day has something to do with that story.

Babu and the Lion
One day, there was a slave whose name was Babu. His master was
very, very bad. You know, he often punched Babu and did not offer
him food for days. Poor Babu! So he escaped into a forest and slept in
a cave. Next morning, he heard a loud roar. In front of him, at the
mouth of the cave, was a very big lion. You see, Babu was scared to
death! Kind of scary, isn’t it? But he could not escape. But the lion
didn’t attack him. It was tamed. There was a large thorn in its right
front foot. The lion looked at Babu. It seemed to say something like:
“Please help me. It’s very painful.” Babu walked bravely to the lion
and pulled out the thorn. Babu and the lion turned out to be friends.

Malin Kundang
Long time ago, in a small village near the beach in West Sumatera, lived a woman and her son,
Malin Kundang. Malin Kundang's father had passed away when he was a baby, and he had to live hard
with his mother. Malin Kundang was a healthy, diligent, and strong child. He usually went to the sea to
catch fish, and brought it to his mother, or sold it in the town.
One day, when Malin Kundang was sailing 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. Many years
later, Malin Kundang became a wealthy merchant, with a huge ship, loads of trading goods, many ship
crews, and a beautiful wife. In his journey, his ship landed on a beach. The villagers recognized him,
and the news ran fast in the town: Malin Kundang became a rich man and now he is here. His mother,
in deep sadness after years of loneliness, ran to the beach to meet her beloved son again.
When the mother came, Malin Kundang, in front of his well-dressed wife, his crews and his own
gloriness, denied to meet that old, poor and dirty woman. For three times she begged Malin Kundang
and for three times yelled at him. At last Malin Kundang said to her "Enough, old woman! I have never
had a mother like you, a dirty and ugly peasant!" Then he ordered his crews to set sail. Enraged, she
cursed Malin Kundang that he would turn into a stone if he didn't apologize. Malin Kundang just
laughed and set sail. In the quiet sea, suddenly a thunderstorm came. His huge ship was wrecked and
it was too late for Malin Kundang to apologized. He was thrown by the wave out of his ship, fell on a
small island, and suddenly turned into stone.
