TANGKUBAN PERAHU
Long time ago in West Java, there lived a woman named Dayang Sumbi.
She have son named sangkuriang
One day, Sangkuriang was hunting in the forest and then he killed
Tumang. Originally tumang is dayang sumbi's husband. than he turned into a dog. When Dayang Sumbi knew that she hit Sangkuriang’s head with a
big spoon and expelled him.
Many years later, Sangkuriang wandered and found an old house in the
forest. Sangkuriang came closer to the house and there was an old
beautiful woman. The woman, Dayang Sumbi.
Unintentionally, Sangkuriang forced Dayang Sumbi to marry him.
Dayang Sumbi agreed to marry him but Sangkuriang had to build a
vast boat, just in one night.At night, Sangkuriang called his friends,
ghosts ( some called it jinn ) and fairies to help him. Feared with the boat to complete,
Dayang Sumbi asked other women in her village to help her. Then the
women punched the grains with grain pancher to make noise which disturbed
the ghosts and fairies. They were flee because they think it was already morning. ghost and fairies can't work in the morning. The morning came before Sangkuriang completed the boat. Unfortunately
the fairies and the ghosts also left Sangkuriang alone. Finaly
Sangkuriang got very angry and kicked away the boat to the downside,
which finally turned into a mountain, called Tangkuban Parahu. you can find tangukban perahu in lembang, west java. from distance, this mountain look like an upside down boat. some locals still believe the tales are realy happening. this local story are teached to all sundanese men and women even a child know this story. this is one of the best legend in java
