(opening)
Assalamualaikum, wr,wb
Honorable judges, ladies, and gentleman
hello, how are you?
I hope you have a great day today
my name is Sherly from PGMI
on this occasion, I would like to tell you a story that comes from Borneo
The story is called The Crying Stone
So, just let's get started
(lagu instrumen borneo)
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl who lived in a small village in
Kalimantan with her mother.
The girl's name was Darmi
Darmi is very beautiful
Every day, she wears makeup and her best dresses.
She always wanted to be rich and beautiful
but on the other side, she is very lazy
she never helped her mother and also she is a spoiled girl.
One day, her mother accompanied her to a market.
Before they went to the market, Darmi talked to her mother
Darmi : “Listen! I don’t want you to walk beside me, you have to walk behind
me! Got it?”
With a sad heart, her mother agreed
So Darmi walked in front of her mother, and her mother followed behind her
Darmi and her mother looked very different
Darmi looked very beautiful in her pretty dress
while her mother looked very old in her simple dress
On the way to the market, many people greeted Darmi and asked who is the old lady
that followed her behind
and guess what? yeah, Darmi lied to them. Darmi said that the old lady behind her
was her servant
Boys : “Hello, beautiful, who is the old lady behind you?”
Darmi : “Oh, haha, she is my servant”
Boys : “Hello Honey, is that your mother walking behind you?”
Darmi : “Ha? what? You have got to be kidding! she's my servant, ewhh”

Her mother was very sad. But, She couldn't do anything. She offended for the insult
Then, she said to Darmi,
Mom : "Darmi, why you keep telling those people that I'm not your mother?"
Darmi : "Mom, I have to do that, because I don't want they laugh at me, If they
find out that you are my mother. You know, we look very different".
Mom : Enough Darmi!
I couldn't stand it any longer, you have hurt me, So deep!
Whoever and whatever I'm? You must honor me as your own mother
Her mother couldn't bear the pain anymore. She prayed to God to punish her
daughter
Mom : Oh my dear lord !! I can't stand on my daughter's behavior.
She's been too far in hurting me.
Please, give her a punishment to make her feel sorry for what she has done to
me ,
And God answered her prayer
suddenly, Darmi's legs turned into stone and the process continued to the upper part
of the girl's body
The girl began to be panic and cried for her mother's help
Darmi : Mom! please forgive me, mom, please !!
But, it was too late
Finally, her whole body turned into stone
Until now, people still can see the tears falling down from the stone.
That's why the stone is called "The Crying Stone."
The End
