SANGKURIANG
Once upon a time in West Java, Indonesia, lived a princess named DayangSumbi. She was
beautiful and kind-hearted. Her hobby was weaving cloth. But sometimes she could be very lazy. One day her
weaving tool fell but she was too lazy to get it herself. She shouted out, “Can anybody help me get my tool? If
you are a female, I will take you as my sister. If you are a male, I will marry you!”
A male creature came, but it was a dog. His name was Tumang. He happily brought her the tool
to her. DayangSumbi was very surprised but she kept her promise. She married the dog. Tumang was actually
a man who had been cursed by a witch to become a dog. But at certain times Tumang could turn back to be a
normal man. Their only son, Sangkuriang, was soon born, and he grew up to be a handsome and healthy boy.
He always played with his very loyal dog, Tumang. He did not know that he was actually his father, because
DayangSumbi hid the secret from him. Sangkuriang liked to hunt in the woods, of course with Tumang.
One day DayangSumbi asked him to bring home a deer’s heart. But, after hunting for several
days, he could not find any deer in the woods. He did not want to disappoint his mother and was thinking hard
how to bring home a deer’s heart. Suddenly he had a very bad idea. He killed Tumang! Then he brought his
heart home and gave it to DayangSumbi.
Sangkuring could not cheat her. She knew it was Tumang’s heart. So, she got very angry and hit
Sangkuriang’s forehead with a piece of wood and told him to leave. With a bad wound on his forehead,
Sangkuriang left the village.
Many years later, Sangkuriang grew up to be a powerful man. One day he went back to his
village. He met a beautiful young woman there, and he fell in love with her at the first sight. It was
DayangSumbi! She never got older because she had been granted eternal youth by the gods. Sangkuriang did
not know that she was his mother, so he came to her and proposed to marry her.
When he walked closer to her, DayangSumbi got very surprised. She saw the scarf in
Sangkuriang’s forehead, and soon she knew that he was her son, who left her a long time ago. She told him
the truth and tried hard to explain it to him, but he did not believe her. She did not want to break his heart, so
she accepted his proposal but gave him an impossible thing to do. She wanted him to build a lake and a boat
in just one night!
Sangkuriang agreed, because he knew that he could make it with the help Of his genies. By midnight
he finished the lake and then started making the boat. DayangSumbi was thinking hard to find a way to fail
him. Before dawn, she asked the people in the village to burn the woods in the East, and the light made all the
cocks crow. Thinking that the night would be over soon, the genies ran fast and left Sangkuriang before the
boat was finished. Sangkuriang realized that DayangSumbi had cheated him. He got very angry and he kicked
the boat upside down. It gradually became a mountain and it is now known as Mt. TangkubanPerahu.

animals in our house gently, and it never bites shoes.
