Malin Kundangs mother sat alone in the pier. Her heart was so hurt, she cried and cried. Dear God, if he isnt my son, please let him have a save journey. But if he is, I cursed him to become a stone, she prayed to the God. In the quiet sea, suddenly the wind blew so hard and a thunderstorm came. Malin Kundangs huge ship was wrecked.
