[THE PROBLEMS involving the characters in the story of Sangkuriang]
1. Dayang Sumbi:
- One day her weaving tool fell, but she was too lazy to get it herself. She shouted out, “Can anybody help me get my tool? If you are a female, I will take you as my sister. If you are a male, I will marry you!”
... A male creature came, but it was a dog. His name was Tumang. He happily brought the tool to her. Dayang Sumbi was very surprised, but she kept her promise. She married the dog.
- When he (Sangkuriang) walked closer to her, Dayang Sumbi got very surprised. She saw the scar in Sangkuriang’s forehead, and soon she knew that he was her son, who left her a long time ago. She told him the truth and tried hard to explain it to him, but he did not believe her.
2. Sangkuriang
- One day Dayang Sumbi asked him to bring home a deer’s heart. But, after hunting for several days, he could not find any deer in the woods. He did not want to disappoint his mother and was thinking hard how to bring home a deer’s heart. Suddenly, he had a very bad idea. He killed Tumang! Then, he brought his heart home and gave it to Dayang Sumbi. Sangkuring could not cheat her. She knew it was Tumang’s heart. So, she got very angry and hit Sangkuriang’s forehead with a piece of wood and told him to leave. With a bad wound on his forehead, Sangkuriang left the village.
- One day he went back to his village. He met a beautiful young woman there, and he fell in love with her at the first sight. It was Dayang Sumbi! She never got older because she had been granted eternal youth by the gods. Sangkuriang did not know that she was his mother, so he came to her and proposed to marry her.
[THE PROBLEMS involving the characters in the story of The Golden Star-Fruit Tree]
1. The younger brother
- He gave his younger brother only a small piece of land, with a star- fruit tree in front of it. The younger brother did not mind. From then on he lived there and made his living only by selling star fruits from the tree.
- Unfortunately, a very big raven often came and ate all the ripe fruits. At first, he was too afraid of the raven, and did not know what to do. But one day he dared to approach the raven. He begged to it not to eat the fruits. “If you eat the fruits, I will have nothing to sell to the market, and my family will starve.” Surprisingly the raven was not angry. He replied, “I need the fruits too. Can I have them and I’ll pay you with gold. Bring a 1-meter long bag, and I’ll bring to a place full of gold and you can fill the bag full with gold.”
2. The older brother
- He asked his younger brother how he had got all his wealth, and the younger brother was happy to tell him the truth. Then, the greedy brother and his wife offered the younger brother to trade all their fortune for the star-fruit tree. The younger brother gladly accepted the offer. Soon the older brother and his family moved to the house with the star-fruit tree. When the raven came for the star fruits, the older brother made the same plea. As expected, the raven told him to bring a 1-meter long bag.
[The RESOLUTIONS of the problems]
1. Sangkuriang
Sangkuriang agreed, because he knew that he could make it with the help of his genies. By midnight he finished the lake and then started making the boat. Dayang Sumbi was thinking hard to find a way to fail him. Before dawn, she asked the people in the village to burn the woods in the East, and the light made all the cocks crow. Thinking that the night would be over soon, the genies ran fast and left Sangkuriang before the boat was finished.
Sangkuriang realized that Dayang Sumbi had cheated him. He got very angry and he kicked the boat upside down. It gradually became a mountain and it is now known as Mt. Tangkuban Perahu.
2. The Golden Star-Fruit Tree Good resolution:
Surprisingly the raven was not angry. He replied, “I need the fruits too. Can I have them and I’ll pay you with gold. Bring a 1-meter long bag, and I’ll bring to a place full of gold and you can fill the bag full with gold.” The younger brother then told his wife to make a 1-meter long bag. When the bag was done, he climbed on the raven’s back and they flew to a place full of gold. He filled the bag full with gold, and then flew back home on the raven’s back. From then on, the younger brother and his family could live happily in luxury.
