We are sure,all of you have heard about this myth. This myth is very popular among Asian especially for Malaysian and Indonesian.

In the old days, Si Talang and Si Deruma have a son named Si Tanggang. They were having a poor life. Si Tanggang always dreams to become a rich and famous person.

One day, Si Tanggang saw a large ship anchored at the mouth of the river near his home. Si Tanggang went to the ship that he had seen before and ask the captain to be his crew. Then, the captain agreed to make Si Tanggang as his crew because of the ability of Si Tanggang boating and working.

Although Si Talang and Si Deruma are very sad to release Si Tanggang to sail on the big ship , they still need to let go of their beloved son. Si Tanggang promised to return to the village after he succeed as seafarers.

Si Tanggang does anything that was ordered by the skipper. The master is very proud of him because he is a very hard working person. Then, Si Tanggang was being adopted by the captain. When the captain became ill, Si Tanggang was being appointed to be the new captain. He was called as master Tanggang.
Si Tanggang was very good at business. Due to that, he becomes a famous person. Thus he was invited by the Sultan to the palace. Soon, Si Tanggang married with princess Sultan. Si Tanggang brings his wife sailed to many places all over the state.
One day, Si Tanggang ship anchored in the river estuary village origins. The villagers know that Si Tanggang captain. They even told the parents.

Si Talang and Si Deruma even go paddle boat heading to the ship master Tanggang. Si Deruma also bring  Si Tanggang  favorite food.
Upon arrival at the ship, one crew banned them up. Later, Si Tanggang appeared with his wife.
When Si Tanggang saw her parents, she felt very embarrassed because of his parents looked very frail and weak. He did not want his wife to know that poor couple in front of them are the parents. Si Tanggang denied and disobeyed his parents.
Si Talang and Si Deruma feel too sad and disappointed. It does not surprise their loved ones have changed. They would paddle to the edge.
When they arrived on the mainland, Si Deruma looked at the sky. While lifting both hands he cried, "Oh, God! Teach Si Tanggang that I am the mother. "
Suddenly a lightning strikes. The wind was blowing strong. Ship in the harbor is wobbling. At those times, Si Tanggang feel regret. He realized that God listens to his mother. He will receive the reward for having disobeyed.
"Oh, mother! Forgive Tanggang. Tanggang admit, Tanggang son mother! ' The clamor Tanggang.
However, Si Tanggang was too late. Strong waves breaking ship. When the storm subsided, the ship Si Tanggang turned into stone. All crew also turned to stone. Si Tanggang and his wife is also a stone.
