Kunci Jawaban Bahasa Inggris Kelas 9 Halaman 132 133, Observing & Asking Questions: Sangkuriang

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.

When he 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. She did not want to break his heart, so she accepted his proposal but gave him an impossible thing to do.

She wanted him to build a lake and a boat in just one night! 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.
