THE STORY OF MALIN KUNDANG
( a Story from West Sumatra )
A long time ago, there's old widow with her son, named Malin Kundang. They lived in a hut in
the vilage near the sea. They were very poor.
Malin Kundang thought, "if I stay here, I won't have a better life. I have to leave this vilage and
look for a job". His mother was sad to hear it. But she knew that Malin Kundang was right. So
she let him go.
After her son had left, Malin Kundang's mother went to the beach every day. She hoped her son
would return soon. At night she would pray for her son's safety. She would ask the captain of the
ship whether he saw her son or not. But she got no news about Malin Kundang.
After years, when she was very old, a captain of a ship told her, "Malin Kundang? I met him
some month ago. He is now married to a beautiful girl. She is the daughter of a wealthy man."
87
Malin Kundang's mother was very happy to hear it. "Thank you, God!" she prayed. She was sure
that Malin Kundang would return home one day.
One morning, a big beautiful ship docked. A young couple stood at the dock. They wore
beautiful clothes. Malin Kundang's mother cried joyfully. "Malin Kundang! My son! You are
home!" she hugged the young man.
Malin Kundang did not believe her. He thought,"This can't be my mother! She was a strong
woman when I left”. But his wife said angrily,"Why didn't you tell me that your mother is poor
and old?" Then she spitted on the old woman.
The old woman cried. She could not believe what she heard. "Malin, I am your mother”. But
Malin Kundang did not listen. He was embarrassed to have an old mother. So he kicked the old
woman yelled at her, "Go away, ugly woman. My mother does not look like you at all". The
woman fell on the ground. She cried. Then she prayed,"My dear God, if he really is my son,
punish him".
Suddenly, there was a thunderstorm. Big waves hit the shore with a loud noise. They hit
everything from big ships to coconut trees along the shore. The thunderstorm was a fierce one.
The storm stopped in the morning. But the villagers could see what the storm had done. Not far
from the shore, there were rocks that looked like wreckage and the passenger of a ship. People
believed that it was Malin Kundang's ship, and Malin Kundang changed into a coral reef. God
had punished him.

The Smartest Parrot
Once upon time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was no other parrot like it. The parrot
could say every word, except one word. The parrot would not say the name of the place
where it was born. The name of the place was Catano.
The man felt excited having the smartest parrot but he could not understand why the parrot
would not say Catano. The man tried to teach the bird to say Catano however the bird kept
not saying the word.
At the first, the man was very nice to the bird but then he got very angry. “You stupid bird!”
pointed the man to the parrot. “Why can‟t you say the word? Say Catano! Or I will kill you”
the man said angrily. Although he tried hard to teach, the parrot would not say it. Then the
man got so angry and shouted to the bird over and over; “Say Catano or I‟ll kill you”. The
bird kept not to say the word of Catano.
One day, after he had been trying so many times to make the bird say Catano, the man really
got very angry. He could not bear it. He picked the parrot and threw it into the chicken
house. There were four old chickens for next dinner “You are as stupid as the chickens. Just
stay with them” Said the man angrily. Then he continued to humble; “You know, I will cut
the chicken for my meal. Next it will be your turn, I will eat you too, stupid parrot”. After
that he left the chicken house.
The next day, the man came back to the chicken house. He opened the door and was very
surprised. He could not believe what he saw at the chicken house. There were three death
chickens on the floor. At the moment, the parrot was standing proudly and screaming at the
last old chicken; “Say Catano or I‟ll kill you”.

To measure of two raters, the researcher used Spearman Rank-correlation which the
formula can be described as follows:
104
= 1 – 0.2565628
= 0.7434372
Note :
r : Coeffecient of rank correlation
d2 :
Square of differences of rank corellation
d : Sum differences betweeen each pair of ranks

GREEDY FORESTER
Long time ago, in a forest there was an elephant. He was gentle and kind. The herd of elephants
to which he belonged, however were cruel and killed innocent creatures for fun. But this
elephant did not like the ways the other elephants. So he moved out from the herd and started to
live other animals in different place. He lived peacefully by himself, givig help and good
counsel to various animal.
One day a forester came to the forest and lost his way. He was frigthened. As the light grew
fainter at the dusk, the forester began to panic. “ oh.. where I am now? I have lost my way. What
will happen now?”.
Suddenly he heard the sound of heavy foot steps. “ What is that?”. Gathering courage he turned
around and saw the elephant standing next to him. “ Oh, I am finished” the forester started to
run. The elephant followed him. “ God, please save me” the forester stopped. The elephant also
stopped. The forester‟s fear began to subside. “ let me turn around and see wat he does to me.”
When he did he was surprsed to hear the elephant speak to himin a human voice. “ i have you
screame, is there anything I can do for you?”. The forester was surprised.: I have lost may way,
Iwant to go home. Can you help me?”. And the elephant said “ I know the way and I will
getbyou there.” “but first you rest i my cave and spend a few days here.” “ thank you my friend”
said forester.
The forester enjoyed the serene surroundings for few days and then decided to go back home.
The elephant said “ Do you have to go?” “ Yes, I have work and take care of may family.” “
well, get n my bac and I will get you there.” As the elephant proceeded, the forester observed
the route so that he could come back, if needed. They finally reached the edge of the forest and
bid farewell to each other.
After coming home, the forester could not stop thinking about the tusks of the elephant which
was made of ivory,. He could not sleep the whole night. Next day, he went to forest to meet the
elephant. He met the gentle elephant and pretended to be sad. “ What is matter? You look so
unhappy!”. “ I am up to my neck in debt”. “ Is ther anything I can do for you, my friend?”.
“Your single piece of your tusks can save me from my debts”. The elephant sat down
immediately and held his tus out oblingly. “ I will be glad to give you both my tusk.” The
foresterhad come fully prepared and took out his saw. Soon he emoved most of the tusks leaving
only two stumps attached to the elephant. The elephant departed in great pain but felt happy that
his tusks would relieve the forester from his debts.
Back in his home the forester receive a huge sum of money for the prime tusks. He spent the
money in no time buying luxurious goods for hmself and his family. Soon he was left with
nothing. That night, he again thought of going to the elephant and asking for the remaining
tusks.

“Hi, what happened, are you happy now?” said the elephant. “ Your tusks have cleared my old
debts but I need money to live”. “ you may have what is left of my tusks.” The elephant
couragously bore the pain as the forester pulled out the remaining tusks. “ I have don with you,
my friend. I have got everything.” The elephant watched the forester go. The elephant was able
to understand his greed, but keep quiet.
The forester suddenly fell inside a pity which was laid for the elephants. He died on the spot
without enjoying anything, his greed made him to die. The elephant felt sorry for the forester. “
Dear friend, I feel pity for you. An ungrateful is never satisfied even if he is given the whole
world.” The kind elephant live the rest of his life in peache and happiness with his friend in the
forest.
