Umbut Muda
Pada suatu hari, tinggal seorang gadis muda yang cantik di Sumatra. Namanya
Umbut Muda. Dia sangat kaya karena ketika ayahnya meninggal, ia mewarisi semua
uang dan rumahnya. Dia menjadi jahat dan bangga pada dirinya sendiri. Bahkan, dia
tidak menghormati ibunya. Dia memerintah ibunya untuk membersihkan rumah,
mencuci pakaian dan memasak makanannya.
Suatu hari, Umbut Muda diundang untuk menghadiri pesta di desa lain. Dia
mengenakan gaunnya yang paling indah dan semua perhiasannya. Ibunya memegang
paying untuk melindungi Umbut Muda dari matahari.
Ketika mereka melewati jembatan, Umbut Muda sengaja menjatuhkan salah satu
gelangnya. Gelang jatuh ke sungai. Dia berteriak kepada ibunya dan memerintahnya

turun ke sungai untuk mencari gelangnya. Dia mencari gelang dalam air, namun sungai
banjir karena hujan malam sebelumnya jadi mustahil baginya untuk mendapatkannya.
Mengetahui bahwa ibunya gagal untuk mendapatkan gelang kembali, Umbut Muda
sangat marah. Dia berteriak pada ibunya, Kamu adalah wanita bodoh dan malas!
katanya.
Turun ke sungai lagi dan dapatkan gelangku kembali! Dia menghentakkan
kakinya dan tidak menyadari bahwa jembatan itu licin. Dia tergelincir di atas jembatan
dan jatuh ke sungai. Dia menjerit minta tolong. Ibunya berusaha membantu, tapi arus
terlalu deras, Umbut muda tenggelam.
Ibu Umbut Muda sangat sedih. Dia tidak bisa menyelamatkan putrinya.
