Read the text below
Once upon a time, there was a fertile land at the Karo
Regency, Kawar Village. Its people were
mostly farmers. One day the harvest was doubled compared to the previous year.
For this reason, the people agreed to have a ‘selamatan’ by performing cultural ceremonies.
The selamatan day
came at last. The village was decorated wonderfully. All the villagers attended
this annual ceremony except an old woman who was paralyzed. Nevertheless, her
son, daughter in law, and grandson were all at the ceremony.
The old woman lied on her bed alone. “I really want to be at
the party but I cannot even stand on my
feet, sobbed the old woman in her deepest heart. She could only see the merry party
from distance. She was alone with no one talking
to her. No one really cared about her.
The lunch time came and all of them enjoyed the foods
happily. The cheer crowded atmosphere somehow made the old woman’s son and
daughter in law forget about her. They completely forgot that the mother was
alone in the house.
Contradictory to what was going on at the party, the old
woman was starving in the house. She didn’t eat even a bite since morning. It’s been hours she spent waiting for someone
coming with something to eat.
“My godness, I am so hungry. Why any of my family didn’t
come to bring me something to eat?” sighed her with her body shivering for
hunger. The poor old woman powerlessly came back
to her bed. She wa so dissappointed and sad that her tears dropped.
The lunch was over after
several hours, suddenly the man remembered about his mother. “My wife! Have you
brought some food for mother?”
“Not yet.” the wife
responded.
‘Wrap some food for her then,
and ask our son to take it home” aksed the husband.
“My son, please take these foods for your
grandmother.”
“I’ll do mother”, said the
son and then he rushed to the house. He immediately handed the food to his grandmother as soon as he reached the house
and then he ran back quickly to the party.
The old woman was very happy
for the foods. She unwrapped the package and was so astonished for what she saw
in it. She was so disappointed to find
only leftover; there were only some bones of beef and lamb which were almost
without meat to eat!
“What is this! Do they think
I am an animal? Why did they give me leftovers and bones!” moaned her
furiously. She felt so disappointed and. She then prayed to God to curse both
her son and daughter in law.
“My God, they were sinful to
me. I beg You to punish them!” said the woman in her prayer.
There was a very strong
earthquake. The sky was suddenly dark ad cloudy, and there was a great thunder
by heavy rain. The crowd in the party ran here and there in panic. The wealthy
village was drowned in a short time. The
drowned village turned into a big crater several days later and it was flooded
by water. The people in the surroundings later call it Lau Kawar, means Lake
Kawar.
