Mount of Tangkuban Perahu
Once upon a time in west Java, lived a king had
a beautiful daughter. Her name was Dayang Sumbi. She liked weaving very much.
Once she was weaving a cloth when one of her tool fell to the ground. She was
very tired at the time so she was too lazy to take it. Then she just shouted
outloud. “Anybody there? Bring my tool. I will give you special
present. If you are female, I will consider you as my sister.
If you are male, I will marry you”
Suddenly a male dog, its name was Tumang,
came. He brought her the falling tool. Dayang Sumbi was very surprised.
She regretted the words but she could not deny it. So she had to marry
Tumang. Then they lived in a small village. Several months later they had
a son. His name was Sangkuriang. He was a handsome and healthy boy.
Sangkuriang liked hunting very much. He
often went hunting to the wood using his arrow. When he went hunting
Tumang always with him. In the past there were many deer so Sangkuriang
often hunted for deer. One day, Dayang Sumbi wanted to have deer’s heart so she
asked Sangkuriang to hunt for a deer. Then Sangkuriang went to the wood with
his arrow and his faithful dog Tumang. But, Sangkuriang could not find any
deer, they were all disappeared. Sangkuriang was exhausted and
desperate. He did not want to disappoint her mother so he killed Tumang. He did
not know that Tumang was his father. At home he gave Tumang’s heart to
her mother. But Dayang Sumbi knew that it was Tumang’s heart. She was so angry
that she could not control her emotion. She hit Sangkuriang’s head. Sangkuriang
was wounded. There was a scar in his head.
One day Sangkuriang became a strong young man.
He wandered everywhere. He arrived at his village, but he did not realized it.
He met Dayang Sumbi. Dayang Sumbi was given an eternal beauty by God. Both of
them did not know each other. So they fell in love and then they decided
to marry, suddenly Dayang Sumbi recognized a scar on his Sangkuriang’s
head. She knew that Sangkuriang was his son. It was impossible for
them to marry. She told him but he did not believe her. He wished
that they marry soon. “Sangkuriang, i wanted Sangkuriang to build a lake and a
boat in one night!!!” She said she needed that for honeymoon. Sangkuriang
agreed. With the help of genie and spirits Sangkuriang. By midnight he had
finished building a dam in Citarum river. Then he started building the
boat, It was almost dawn when he nearly finished it. Meanwhile Dayang
Sumbi kept watching on them. She was very worried when she knew
this. So she made lights in the east. Then the spirits thought that
it was already dawn. It was time for them to leave. They left Sangkuriang
alone. Without their help he could not finish the boat. Sangkuriang was
very angry. He kicked the boat. Then the boat turned out to be
Mount Tangkuban Perahu.
