MALIN KUNDANG

MALING KUNDANG 
Once upon a time, on the northern coast of Sumatera, there lived a poor woman with her son, whose name was Mali Kundang. His father later died and his mother lived alone as a poor old woman.  
 Malin Kundang grew up as a  young bright boy. He always helps his mother  earn  money. One day, Malin Kundang decides to go abroad and promises to come back.  After many years, Malin Kudang finally decides to return to the village. He arrived in beautiful clothes and traveled in one of his ships. An arrival in such grandeur was rare for the villagers, so many of them went  to the harbor to see the sight. 
 A villager recognized Malin Kundang's scar, which he  received while playing as a child. When the villager recognized the sign, he went to tell Malin Kundang's mother that her son had returned. She excitedly went to the beach and recognized her son as soon as her eyes fell on him.  
 When the older woman called him her son, he refused to believe that he was leading such an old woman as a mother. His disbelief grew when his wife asked why he did not tell her that he had an old, poor mother.  
 In an alternate translation, Malin Kundang was on board with only his crew. When his mother tried to hug him, she was too confused by his ragged appearance to recognize him and asked one of them to take him away. Malin Kundang's mother, shocked and finally realizing the boy's evil, renounced her son's confession and asked God to punish her son for his behavior. 
  The day after her mother's prayer, Malin Kudang sailed away from the village. Soon after, the ships were hit by a violent storm. Malin Kundang believed that the storm was his god and nature's way of punishing him for abusing his mother.  
 He felt guilty for his behavior, apologized and began to pray. However, his regret was too late as the ship was destroyed at sea. But in some translations of the story, Malin Kundang was turned into a coral. In another, the ship,  crew, and he become rock formations that  still stand.

The ant and the grasshoper

-
 The story was about a grasshopper who spends the summer singing and doing nothing. Meanwhile, its neighbor, the ant colony, worked hard all summer to store food for the winter. The grasshopper laughs at the ants and said they should enjoy the summer.    The ants told the grasshopper that he must stock up on food for the winter or he will starve when everything was frozen. When winter come, the ants were in their nest, resting and surviving on stored food. A grasshopper comes to their door hungry and cold. He begs the ants for food and says that he has realized the error of his actions.   The ants share their food with him and make him promise to work hard next summer, gathering and storing food.  Edited by: 1.
