Crying Stone

THE LEGEND OF CRYING STONE

Once upon a time, there lived a young girl and her mother in a small village. The girl was very beautiful but lazy. She never helped her mother to do anything. Every day she just dressed up and admired her beauty in the mirror. Besides, whatever she wanted she must get it. This made her mother very sad.
One day the mother asked her daughter to accompany her to the market to buy something. She agreed with one condition. She said " OK, but I don't want to walk beside you. You must walk behind me." With a sad heart, her mother agreed. So the girl walked in front and her mother followed behind her, carrying a basket. Of course, they looked very different. The daughter looked very beautiful in her pretty dress whereas her mother looked very old in her simple dress.
All the way to the market, people always greeted the beautiful girl and asked who the old woman behind her was. The girl always said that the old woman was her servant. This made the mother very upset, but she did nothing.
At last, the mother couldn't stand hearing her daughter's word anymore. She prayed to God to punish her daughter and He answered her prayed. Slowly but sure, the change happened to the girl. First the girl's leg turned into stone. Then it continued to the upper parts of her body. The girl began to panic. "Mother, please forgive me!" She asked for her mother apology repeatedly, but her mother sad nothing. Then the bad daughter just cried and cried. Finally her whole body turned into stone.
Until now you can see the tears falling down the stone. That is why people call it "Crying Stone."

Dari cerita itu, kita bisa nerima banyak amanat yaitu tidak boleh membuat hati ibu kita sedih, kita harus menghormati ibu kita, dll. Semoga bisa membantu...
