Dayang Sumbi was a beautiful and kind hearted princess,but


sometimes she was very lazy.Her hobby was weaving cloth.One day
her weaving tool fell.Tumang a male dog,came to bring her tool back
to her.As she had promised,she married him.Tumang was actually a
man who had been cursed by a witch to become a dog.But
sometimes he could turn back to a normal man.Dayang Sumbi and
Tumang got one son.His name was Sangkuriang.He did not know that
Tumang was his father because he was dog whenever he was with
him.Tumang always accompanied Sangkuriang whenever he went
hunting in the woods.

When he was twelve years old,Dayang Sumbi want Sangkuriang


to bring a deer’s heart.But after many days in the woods,he could
not find a deer.He did not want to disappoint his mother,so he killed
Tumang and brought his heart home and gave it to his mother.
Because of her love to Tumang,Dayang Sumbi knew it was his
heart,not a deer’s heart.She hit him with a piece of wood on his
forehead,and told him to go away. Badly wounded,Sangkuriang left
her and the leave..

One day Sangkuriang went back to his village.He was big and
strong.There he met a beautiful young woman.He fell in love with
her at the first sight.He did not know that she was Dayang Sumbi.She
could never get older because she was granted eternal youth by the
goods.

One day he approached Dayang Sumbi to propose her.Dayang


Sumbi saw the bad scar on his forehead.She soon realized that he
was her own son,Sangkuriang.She told him the truth again and again,
but he would not believe her.She was thinking hard to find a way not
to marry him.Then,she got an idea.She gave him a task which she
thought was impossible for him to do.She asked him to make her a
lake and a boat In one night.She did not know Sangkuriang had
genies to help him to do the task.

By the dawn both the lake and the boat were almost done.
Dayang Sumbi got very worried.She was thinking hard again to find a
way to fail him.Then,she had an idea.She asked the people in the
village to burn the woods in the east,so that the light made all the
cocks in the village crow.The genies thought that the morning was
almost broken.They run away as fast as they could,leaving the boat
unfinished.Knowing Dayang Sumbi cheated him,Sangkuriang got very
angry.He kicked the boat so hard that it went upside down.It is now
known as mount Tangkuban Perahu.
