[Music] the crying stone in a beautiful village in west kalimantan indonesia there lived an old woman with her daughter she was a very diligent patient and loving mother to make their living she sold fruit and vegetables from her farm although her husband had passed away a long time ago she was not alone she had a daughter whom she cherished as a treasure that reminded her of her husband the woman loved her daughter so much that she would never let her do any chores she truly spoiled her every day the old woman worked very hard on the farm the sun burned her skin and her skin tone became dark and wrinkled she never thought about herself all she cared about was to keep her daughter happy meanwhile the girl always spent her time at home doing nothing she really liked dressing up and grew into a beautiful and well-groomed girl her face was beautiful her hair was long and silky and her skin glowed like a pearl she was very popular her name was don one day the old woman planned to harvest the vegetables and fruit to sell directly at the market as she left to go she asked ami to go along with her but darmi refused mother i'm not used to going outside and my feet cannot stand to walk that far the woman nodded but felt disappointed she realized that her daughter had grown up to be weak and lazy okay then i will take care of everything but i will be late today could you please do the cooking asked the woman all right darmy replied lightly a day had passed and it was getting dark when darmi's mother came home from the market she was so exhausted and hungry so then as she headed to the dining table she found that darmy hadn't prepared any food at all darmi why didn't you cook something for us i'm so hungry i told you this morning to prepare a meal for dinner no mom i didn't cook anything because i just washed my hair i don't want my hair to be dirty again and to smell like smoke she replied mum my mirror felon broke i need a new one you must have lots of money after this harvest could you also buy me a necklace i want a pretty necklace that i can wear every day all of my friends already have them the old woman said spoiling her daughter again okay dear but when i buy it tomorrow you must come with me too because i don't really know what kind of necklace you will like darmy was so happy all she could think about was a fancy necklace with red gems on it and she could not wait for it the next day darmy woke up early and prepared to go to the market with her mother as they walked along to the market dami said mum i don't want to be seen walking by your side do you mind walking a bit behind me this made the old woman so sad all she cared about was her only daughter but darmy was embarrassed by having a mother like her this made her heart break on their way to the market dami also met her friends but she never introduced her mother to them she even told them that she was not related to her mother oh that woman walking behind me i don't know who she is my mom is beautiful dummy bragged to her friend she has glowing skin just like mine the woman felt even more heartbroken she knew darmi had gone too far but she didn't say anything when they finally arrived at the market the girl bought a beautiful mirror for herself and she also excitedly picked some necklaces but when her choice fell in a large redstone pendant her mother advised her to buy a simple one we can't afford the necklaces you want because some of the money will be used for buying seeds and fertilizers said the mother the girl was furious mum why don't you ever pay attention to me you always leave me alone at home you force me to cook you won't even buy the necklace i want you're always a bother even i i'm ashamed to have a mother like you the old one was stopped zombie run away from mother and left her behind the old woman began to feel some pain in her chest and she couldn't stop herself in fire [Music] oh dear god this is all my own fault i raised her badly and now this is the result please teach her a lesson for me dear god i cannot bear to play any longer the woman prayed with a static fight then right after she played a big bolt of lightning split the sky everybody was stunned and they rang for cover from such sudden heavy the old woman heard from the phone the voice of darmy crying calling her mother desperate the old woman ran and ran and found kneeling down crying on the ground [Music] oh dear child what is wrong with you i can't move my legs it's so heavy mom please help me she begged she was with her daughter but she didn't want to see her like this when the old woman hugged her she could feel dammi's body was cold and hard she had turned into stones oh dear god i wanted you to teach her a lesson but please don't punish her like this please she raised her hands up high in fear the vein immediately stopped there was no sound she could only hear darmy's soft crying okay i was wrong i was born i love my mother please forgive me please forgive me the army stopped softly as it got fainter and fainter after some time she couldn't make any more noise and her body turned completely into stone that's the end of the story of darmi who turned into a crying stone her mother cried full of regret at darmy's side she knew that god had granted her wishes both teaching dharmi a lesson but also punishing herself nowadays the crying stone still exists on the edge of a cliff in west kalimantan indonesia some people say that the stone sometimes cries and sheds tears the moral of the story is love and respect your parents
