Tangkuban Perahu

 

On a land of Parahyangan, there lived a beautiful princess named Dayang Sumbi. Because of her oath, she had to marry a dog named Tumang. Dayang Sumbi with her dog lived happily and blessed with a boy, Sangkuriang. The boy didn’t know that their dog was his father.

One day, Dayang Sumbi asked Sangkuriang with his dog to hunt a deer. Sangkuriang got nothing. He did not want to disappoint his mother. He decided to kill his dog. Dayang Sumbi thought it was venison. After knowing the truth, Sangkuriang was hit and expelled by his mother.

Sangkuriang grew overseas into a powerful handsome man. Then, he met Dayang Sumbi then fell in love with her. One day before wedding, Dayang Sumbi realized that Sangkuriang was her son. Dayang Sumbi wanted to thwart their marriage. She gave a condition to make a dam that covered the entire hill and to make a boat during one night.

Sangkuriang agreed then worked with help of many genies. The dam and boat were almost finished. Dayang Sumbi prayed to God. The roosters crowed so all genies left that job. Sangkuriang realized that he had been tricked. He was angry; he kicked that boat into the middle of a forest. Then, that boat shaped like a mountain. That is the legend of Tangkuban Parahu.
