The Wolf and The Goat

A wolf saw a goat grazing at the edge of a high cliff. The wolf smacked his lips at the thought of a
fine goat dinner.
“My dear friend,” said the wolf in his sweetest voice, “aren’t you afraid you will fall down from that
cliff? Come down here and graze on this fine grass beside me on safe, level ground.”
“No, thank you,” said the goat.
“Well then,” said the wolf, “aren’t you cold up there in the wind? You would be warmer grazing
down here beside me in this sheltered area.”
“No, thank you,” said the goat.
“But the grass tastes better down here!” said the exasperated wolf, “Why dine alone?”
“My dear wolf,” the goat finally said, “are you quite sure that it is my dinner you are worrying
about and not your own?”

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 for
Malin Kundang to apologize. He was thrown by the wave out of his ship. He fell on a small island. It
was really too late for him to avoid his curse. Suddenly, he turned into a stone.
