SOAL-SOAL NARRATIVE

A fox fell into a well and couldn’t get out. By and by a thirsty goat came along. Seeing the fox in the well it asked
if the water was good. “Good”, said the fox. “It’s the best water I’ve tasted in all my life. Come down and try it
yourself. “The goat thought of nothing but how thirsty he was. So he jumped into the well. When he had drunk
enough he looked around but there was no way to get out. Then the fox said, “I have a good idea. You stand on
your hind legs and put your forelegs against the side of the well. Then I’ll climb on your back, from there I’ll step
on your horns, and I can get out. And when I’m out I’ll help you out of the well.” The goat did as he was asked
and the fox got on his back and so out of the well. Then he coolly walked away. The goat called out   loudly after
him out. The fox merely turned to him and said, “If you only has as much sense in your head as you have hairs in
your beard you wouldn’t have jumped into the well without making sure  that you could get out again.

SANGKURIANG
A long time ago, the ancient land of Sunda was ruled by a king and queen who had but a single
daughter. Her name was Dayang Sumbi. She was beautiful and clever but also pampered and spolited.
One day as she was weaving in her pavilion, she became moody and distracted, which caused her to
keep dropping her shuttle on the floor. Once when it fell she exclaimed she would marry the one who gave it
back to her. At that very moment her dog Tumang, a demigod possessing magic powers, came up to her with the
shuttle in his mouth. Dayang Sumbi  had to marry him.
They lived happily together, and Dayang Sumbi gave birth to a baby boy, human in appearance but
endowed with his father’s magic powers. She named him Sangkuriang. As the boy grew up, he was always
guarded by the faithful dog Tumang, whom he knew only as a companion and not as his father, Sangkuriang
became handsome and brave.
One day his mother asked him to go hunting with the dog and bring her venison for a feast. After
hunting all day without success, Sangkuriang worried about facing his mother empty-handed. Desperate, he took
an arrow and shot the dog. He returned home and handed over the meat to his pleased mother. Soon after the
feast, however, Dayang Sumbi questioned her son about the absence of Tumang. At first he evaded her queries
but finally told her what had happened. She was horrified and struck her son so hard on the temple that he
collapsed. For that, the old king banished his daughter from the court and she was made to roam around the
kingdom. Sangkuriang recovered with a large scar on his temple, and he too left the court to wander about the
world.
Years later, Sangkuriang met a beautiful woman and instantly fell in love with her. It was his own
mother-they did not recognize each other. He pro posed to her and she agreed to marry him. On the day before
the wedding, as she was caressing her fiancee’s hair, Dayang Sumbi detected the scar on the temple. Horror
struck her, for she was about to marry her own son, Sangkuriang. Without revealing the whole truth to him, she
tried unsuccessfully to dissuade him. Desperate to avoid the marriage, she set conditions she thought impossible
to meet. Sangkuriang had to make a lake that filled the whole valpley and build a boat for the couple to sail in, all
before dawn.
Sangkuriang started to work. His love gave him extraordinary strength, and he used his magic powers to
summon the spirits to help him. With boulders and mud they dammed the river in the valley and the water rose
and began to form a lake. In the early morning hours he chopped down a huge tree in the forest and began
hollowing it out to make a boat. When Dayang Sumbi saw that he was about to accomplish what she has thought
impossible, she called on the gods to bring the sun up early and thwart Sangkuriang.
The cock crowed, the sun rose much earlier than usual, and Sangkuriang realized he had been
deceived. In a fit of fury he caused Dayang Sumbi and kicked the half-finished boat back into the forest. There it
lies upside down today, forming the mountain Tangkuban Perahu (Upturned Boat). Not far away is the stump of
the tree Sangkuriang had felled, now called  Bukit Tinggi. The dam Sangkuriang had built caused the valley to
become a lake, where both Sangkuriang and Dayang Sumbi drowned themselves. They were never heard of
again.
