On the way to
the market, everybody admired girl’s beauty. They were also curious. Behind the
beautiful girl, there was an old woman with a simple dress. The girl and her
mother looked very different!
“Hello, pretty lady, who is woman behind you?” asked
them. “she is my servant,” answered the girl.
The mother was very sad, but she did not say anything.
The girl and the mother met
other people. Again they asked who the woman behind the beautiful girl. Again
the girl answered that her mother was her servant. She always said that her
mother was her servant every time they met people.
One day, the mother asked
the girl to accompany her to go to the market to buy some food. At first the
girl refused, but the mother persuaded her by saying they were going to buy new
clothes. The girl finally agreed. But she asked her mother to walk behind her.
She didn’t want to walk side by side with her mother. Although her mother was
very sad, she agreed to walk behind her daughter.
“Mother, please forgive me!”
she cried and asked her mother to forgive her. But it was too late. Her whole
body finally became a big stone. People called it the crying stone or batu
menangis since there were tears falling down the stone.
In a small village, a girl
lived with her mother. The girl was very beautiful. Everyday she put make-up
and wore her best clothes. She did not like to help her mother work in a field.
The girl was very lazy.
At last, the mother could
not hold the pain anymore. She prayed to God to punish her daughter. God
answered her prayer. Slowly, the girl’s leg turned into stone. The process
continued to the upper part of the girl’s body. The girl was very panicky.
