THE
UNGRATEFUL
SON
There once lived two parents, Si
Talang and Si Deruma who had a son
named Si Tanggang. Si Tanggang and
his family were poor. Every night Si
Tanggang dreams of beieng rich and
known throughout the land.
One day, Si Tanggang leaves his family for life at sea,
promising he will be back. After Si Tanggang left, he
worked for a rich man who owned a ship. Si
Tanggang worked hard until one day the rich man
said, "Oh Si Tanggang! You have worked so hard for
me, so in return I allow you to marry my daughter
and be captain of the ship in the future".
Later in the year, Si Tanggang married the rich
man's beautiful daughter. Si Tanggang wanted to
keep up the work and so he sailed the ship with his
wife to an unknown country. Once they arrived
they just so happen to be in Si Tanggang's home
village. Everybody was shocked and surprised at
how Si Tanggang had changed. Si Tanggang's
parents suddenly came up and offered him some
of his favourites, banana cakes that his mum had
specially made for him.
Si Tanggang's Si Tanggang looked at his
wife asked him, parents who were dirty and
"Are they your dressed in rags. He replied,
parents?" "What! Of course they're
not! I haven't got parents!
They died ages ago!"
Si Tanggang's heartbroken mother said, "Oh my son Si Tanggang. I
am your mother! I just thought you'd like your very favourite
banana cakes". Si Tanggang's mum was clinging on Si Tanggang's
ship, one hand with the banana cakes.
"GO!!", shouted Si Tanggang. He Si Tanggang's parents went back to
hits his mother's fingers until shore heart broken. Si Tanggang's
his mother and the banana mum fell to the ground and looked
cakes fell into the sea. up to the sky she said, "Oh my dear
God, please show my son Si
Tanggang that I am his mother".
Suddenly a group of black clouds covered the village, storm and lightening came. Then
Si Tanggang realised that he had done a bad sin towards his mother who had raised him
up his whole life and now God is going to curse him. Si Tanggang shouted, "Oh mother!
Please forgive me! I admit that I am your son!". It was no use. Si Tanggang was too late,
he his wife and the ship all turned to stone.
