Crying Stone
Once upon a time, in Kalimantan.
There lived a mother with her daughter. The daughter, named Lisa Yadomaru, was
really a beautiful girl. But, she had a bad character. She was an arrogant,
lazy girl. She never helped her mother to do some house work. She always
admired her beauty everyday.
Lisa was also a spoiled girl, when
she wanted something, her mother had to make it. Lisa's mother, Ise Nanao, was
really pity. She had to work day and night, but Lisa was doing nothing.
One day, Lisa and her mother went
out. They wanted to buy something in the market. The location of the market was
really far from home, so they had to walk miles away.
Lisa was walking in front of her
mother. She wore a beautiful dress. Meanwhile, her mother was walking behind
Lisa. Nanao's dress was dirty and ugly. She brought an umbrella. No one
expected that the two people who walked was a mother and her daughter.
When they entered the village, the
villagers saw Lisa and admired her. They're so amuzed with the girl's beauty.
But, when they saw the woman who walked behind Lisa they wondered. Who was the
old woman?
One of the villagers asked to the
girl.
"Hey, beautiful girl. Is that
your mother who walks behind you?" asked one of the villagers. Lisa arrogantly said, "Of
course no, she is my maid." Said Lisa.
They continued the journey. And
then, a young man met them and asked a question.
"Hey sweety, is that your
mother who walks behind you?" asked the young man.
"No…..of course no, can't you
see that? She's really different with me. How could you say that she's my
mother? She is my slave." Replied Lisa.
Every time they walked, Lisa said
that the woman walked behind her was her maid or her slave. She never admitted
that the woman is her mother.
Nanao was really disappointed with
her daughter. She couldn't bear it. Lisa's saying hurted her heart. The poor
mother finally prayer to God.
"Oh God. I can't stand this.
My daughter always humiliates me. I am so disappointed with her. Please give
her punishment, God, please…" prayer Nanao.
With the power of God, suddenly
Lisa's body turned into a stone little by little. The changes of the body
started from the leg and the other parts of the body. Lisa cried and asked for
a help to her mother.
"Please….forgive me
mother…..forgive for my attitude….please mother…..please help me." Cried
Lisa. But, it was too late. All of Lisa's body was turned into a stone.
Although all of Lisa's body was turned into a stone, the people still could see that the stone was crying. The people called the stone "The Crying Stone".
