Dongeng Bahasa Inggris "Malin Kundang"


MALIN KUNDANG

Along time ago, there lived a poor widow in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Her name was Mande Rubiah. She lived with her son. His name was Malin Kundang. She Love her son very much.

            When Malin Kundang was fifteen years old, he worked as a porter on a merchant ship. He had been abroad for many years but he did not send any news to his mother. His mother messed him.

            The captain of the ship liked him because he worked very hard. When he older the captain asked him to marry his daughter. He worked even more successfully so that when the captain died he got all of the captain’s wealth and also become the new captain. He was very rich but unfortunately he became too proud and arrogant because of his wealth.

            One day Malin Kundang’s ship dropped anchor at the Batang Arau Harbour. Then his mother, who had been waiting for years, heard about this. She went to the ship to see her beloved son. But what happen? Malin Kundang did not want to admit that Mande Rubiah was his mother. He knew it but he was too arrogant to do it. He did not want his beautiful wife to see the old and ugly woman coming to him as his mother. He even scolded her and asked his guards to send her away.

            His mother was very sad. She sorrowfully knelt down to pray to God, “Oh, God, I know he is my son, but why has he turned so wicked? Please, God, don not let this wickedness continue. Punish him as You wish

            Then when the ship sailed, suddenly the sky turned dark, and a strong wind blew the ship violently. Malin Kundang and all of his guards were drowned. The ship turned upside down and it immediately turned into a stone.


            Now when we go to the beach near Padang, we can see a rock looks like a ship. People say that it was Malin Kundang’s ship.

Catatan:
Present Future Perfect dan Present Future Perfect Continuous tense memiliki hubungan yang hamper mirip dengan hubungan antara Present Perfect dan Present Perfect Continuous. Present Future Perfect Continuous Tense bisa digunakan untuk mengganti Present Future Perfect apabila:

a.       Digunakan untuk menyatakan perbuatan sedang berlangsung:
By the end of the month he have been living/working/studying here for seven years.

b.      Digunakan untuk menyatakan perbuatan yang diungkapkan sebagai perbuatan yang berlangsung terus menerus:
By the end of the month he will have been training horses/climbing mountains for ten years.

Namun demikian perlu diperhatikan bahwa, apabila kita menyebutkan jumlah kuda yang telah dilatih atau jumlah gunung yang telah didaki, ataupun membagi perbuatan tersebut dengan cara lainnya, maka bias digunakan adalah Present Future Perfect:
By the end of the month he will have trained 300 horses/ climbed 15 mountains.
