Long, long time ago an old woman, Mande Rubiah, lived at a village near Muara
Padang. She had a son, called Malin Kundang. The old woman loved her son very
much. When he was fifteen years old, he worked as a porter at Muara.
One day a skipper asked him to work on his ship. Malin told his mother that he
liked to accept the offer. Malin worked hard on the ship.
The skipper liked him. One day the skipper fell ill. He called Malin Kundang and
his daughter Nilam Sari. The skipper said, “You must become husband and wife. I give all
my wealth to you, malin.” He died and Malin Kundang married Nilam Sari. He became
proud and greedy. He forgot everything. Mande Rubiah waited for her son nearly ten
years.
One day, a beautiful ship came to Muara. The ship belonged to Malin
Kundang. Malin Kundang got out of the ship proudly. Mande Rubiah was at Muara. She
was sure the owner of the ship was her son. She shouted, “Malin! Malin! My son!” She
tried to embrace him, but he felt ashamed to confess it. He instead laughed. “Insane
woman! Stay away!” He asked his guards to chase her. She fell down. Malin got on the
ship. The ship sailed. When the ship turned to Gunung Padang, the old woman knelt
down. She cried and prayed, “God, show him your power, my son is sinful.” Then the
storm hit Malin’s ship and a lightening stinged him, making him burnt and turned him into a
stone.
