Wrinkles don't mean to be forgotten, but to remember who gave birth and raised us
Folklore is a valuable cultural heritage from the past that teaches about the values and wisdom acquired by ancestors. This story is not just a collection of words told by our ancestors, but is an example or lesson for our future children and grandchildren. On this occasion I will start to tell about a child who was disobedient to his parents and at the same time to remind him of the importance of respecting parents and staying away from arrogance, especially with the people who gave birth and raised us. Apart from that, parents are the ones who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their ideals. dreams and hopes of your child, happy reading and contemplating.
On the coast of Sumatra, West Sumatra, there lived a boy named Malin Kundang with his mother and father. One day his father went to try his luck or migrate to another country by crossing the vast sea. For almost a year his father never returned and was reported to have died. Since then, it has been her mother who earns a living for both of her "children". Malin Kundang was an intelligent child, although sometimes naughty. He liked to chase chickens until one day he fell and left a scar on his arm. As an adult, Malin Kundang felt sorry for his elderly mother but continued to work to make ends meet. Malin Kundang also conveyed his intention to earn a living in a foreign country, although initially his mother did not agree, Malin Kundang always persuaded his mother, in the end the mother allowed him to go abroad. In the middle of the journey, suddenly the ship Malin Kundang was on was attacked by The pirate, Malin Kundang was lucky, he survived and was not killed because Malin Kundang hid in a small room covered by a pile of wood.

Malin Kundang was adrift in the middle of the sea, until finally the ship he was on was stranded on a beach. With the remaining strength he had, Malin Kundang walked to the village closest to the beach. Next, Malin Kundang settled in that village and worked persistently and tenaciously. . Malin Kundang also became very rich and he married a girl. The news about Malin Kundang who had become rich and married also reached his mother. Malin Kundang's mother felt grateful that her son had succeeded and was successful in a foreign country.
One day, Malin Kundang and his wife sailed back to their hometown on a large and beautiful ship accompanied by crew members and bodyguards. This news reached his mother's ears, the mother was very happy and the mother prepared alakadar for her child's favorite food because he had not eaten food for a long time. mother, when Malin Kundang got off the ship, his mother was standing quite close and believed that it was his child because the scar on his arm was visible to his mother, the mother immediately hugged Malin Kundang, but Malin Kundang roughly let go of the mother's hug, in fact, pushed her , insulted her, and did not admit that the woman was her mother because she was old and wrinkled. Malin Kundang's mother was very sad and angry at Malin Kundang. The supplies or food that the mother had made and brought fell and scattered, with that the mother immediately raised her hands to pray, "Oh God, if it's true that he is my son, I swear he will become a stone" . Not long afterward the wind roared strongly and in a powerful storm the ship he was on sank, Malin Kundang's body slowly stiffened and became a rock until now there are still traces of it, and now on the beach it has become a historical place from the past, many tourists come to visit the scene of the incident.
