Legend of Weeping Stone (Folklore Kalimantan)



In a hill far from the village, there lived in the area of Borneo a poor widow and a daughter.
The girl was very beautiful widow. But unfortunately, he had a very bad attitude. The girl was very lazy, never helped his mother to do house work. It works just primp every day.
In addition to lazy, spoiled girl attitude once. All requests must be obeyed. Every time he asks something to the mother must be granted, regardless of the circumstances of the poor mother, every day should Drudge seek a bite of rice.

One day the girl asked her mother down to the village to shop. The location of the village market so far, so they have to walk quite tiring. The girl was walking strolled by wearing a nice dress and primp for the street people who see it will be admiring her beauty. While his mother walked behind, carrying baskets with very dirty clothes. Because they live remote places, no one knows that the two women who run it are the mother and child.
When they began to enter the village, the villagers looked at them. They were so fascinated by the beauty of the girl child, especially the village youth who can not get enough of looking at the girl's face. But when he saw people walking behind the girl, quite in contrast. It makes one wonder.
Among those who saw it, a young man approached and asked her, "Hi, pretty girl. Is that runs behind the mother?"
However, what is the answer to the girl child?
"No," he said loftily. "He is a servant!"
Both mother and child were then continue the journey. Not how much, again a young man approached and asked the girl child.
"Hi, sweetie. Is that runs behind you is your mother?"
"No, no," she replied with a raised head. "He is budakk!"
That's how every girl you meet someone along the way who ask about his mother, always answer it. His mother is treated as a servant or slave.
At first hearing, the rebellious daughter's answer when asked of people, the mother still can resist. But after repeatedly hearing the same answer and a very painful liver, eventually the poor mother could not help myself. The mother prayed.
"Oh God, I can not afford to keep this insult. Child birth so how could I treat myself servant in such a way. Yes, the gods punish this rebellious child! Punish him ...."
Top power of God Almighty, gently rebellious girl's body turned to stone. That change starts from the feet. When the change had already reached half a body, the girl cried begged forgiveness of his mother.
"Oh, mother .. mother .. please forgive me, forgive your son for this perfidy. Mom ... Mom ... please forgive your son .." The girl continued to wail and cry pleading to his mother. However, it was too late. All the girl's body eventually turned into stone. Even a stone, but one can see that his eyes still shed tears, like he was crying. Therefore, the stone came from the girl who got her mother's curse is called "the Rock Cried".

Thus the story of this legend-shaped, which by local people believed that the story really happened. Anyone who disobeys the biological mother who gave birth and raised him, is the work laknatnya
