Darmi : “I’m so beautiful. But, why does my faith not as beautiful as my face? I have to leave in this bad house. I dont even have beauty table. My bed is not soft and my wadrobe just a bad case.”

Mom : “Darmi, I’m going to work.”

Darmi : “ That’s good. Go and get a lot of money (shouting from room)”

Darmi : “Uh my mother. Why does she work only looking for a find a firewood, lawnmowers, and laudress? Can’t she just work in one place with much earning? Doesn’t she know that i have a lot to needs? She is so unreasonable!”

At Darmi’s house

            The God heard the poor Mom prayer. Suddenly, there was thunderstorm and the light struck. Surprisingly, the body of her daughter turned in to a stone little by little. She tried to escape from the God’s punishment, but she couldn’t.

Darmi : “Why did the thunder is so strong?”

Darmi : “What happen with my leg? Please help me! Somebody help me please!”

Mom hearing shouting of Darmi. And her mom walking to visit Darmi’s room

Darmi : “My God forgive me, please. I know I have made a big mistake. I don’t obey  you. Please help me mother. I want to be a good child”

            It was too late. But nothing cann’t didn’t. The curse what has been said cann’t be taken back.

Mom : (look at the Darmi’s stone) “I’m sorry, dear. But this is all I can do for all you have done to me” (crying)

 The evil body turned into stone slowly, but see still could cry. He tears dropped from eyes. People called the stone as a crying stone since then.
