Once upon a time, on a hill far from the countryside. There lived a poor widow with her daughter. Her child of such a widow was so beautiful, she always boasted of the beauty she had. Her beauty, though, was not the same as that of her. He was very lazy and never helped his mother.
Besides lazy, she was also very spoiled. She always asked to be given something and if she wasn't, she would cry. Definitely, that situation made her mother sad but somehow she still loved her daughter.
One day, the girl asked her mother to buy new gown for her. At first, her mother rejected her request because she did not have enough money. Nevertheless, because her mother was forced to obey her request, she fulfilled her daughter request. Then her mother asked her daughter to accompany her to the market. "Okay, but I dont wanna walk beside you. You should walk behind me, I'm embarrassed if others see me" she said. Although her mother was sad, she continued to obey her request. So they went to the market to bought gown for her daughter. The girl was walking in front while her mother was walking behind her and carrying a basket on their way to the market.
Although they were a mother and a daughter, they looked very different. As if they did not came from the same family. Even, they looked like a boss and a maid. Her daughter dressed up beautifully and wore a very nice gown while her mother looked old and wore very simple dress.
When they walked to the market, a man greeted them. Â "Hi, pretty girl! Which old hag is behind you? Is she your mother? "Asked a young man. "Of course she is not. She is my servant", said the girl. His mother was sad to hear it. But she was silent though her heart was crying. Along the street the beautiful girl kept being asked by people about his mother. But the girl always said that the old woman behind her was her assistant.
After that the mother pray to god and god granting her pray and make her daughter change to be stone. Starting from her foot until her head and the stone is pray the forgive from god and her mother with the tears. Until now the stone called with "batu menangis". So the story we can learn and we can take a positive grade that we cant sinful to our parents whatever happens to them.
