Most of our students know about folk tales in
Indonesia. They had tried to investigate the
popular folk tales in Indonesia, through
classroom discussion. They also got some ideas
from other participants in this Learning Circle
groups such as
Uraiwan Sritiwong, Thailand,        We live in
Chiang Mai. It's in the North of Thailand.
People know it as the "Rose" of Thailand. Here,
there are many local stories and folk tales in my
hometown. But we love the story of "Wang
Bua-Baan."   means the deep water near the bank
of the river.  means lotus. Baan means
glooming.  However, Bua-baan in the story is the
name of a beautiful woman.         Wang Bua-Baan
is the sad story. It's the story of a beautiful
Chiang Mai woman who fell in love with a handsome
policeman from Bangkok. Though there were a lot
of men in Chiang Mai wanted to marry her, but she
said no to them. Finally, she chose the policeman
and live with him happily. She was a good wife,
and he was a good husband.  One day a woman came
from Bangkok, and said that she was the
policeman's woman. They were going to marry.
After that the handsome policeman left Bua-baan.
She was very sad. Though there were a lot of man
asked for marrying her, she still said no. It's
because Chiang Mai woman was to marry one man and
only once. So she went to Hua-kaew Waterfall. At
the highest bank and deep water, she jumped down
to make suicide.          Do you love my story?
Most of us know Wang Bua-baan although it happen
very long time ago. Our parents tell us to remind
us keep ourself save from the people who we don't
know them well, and to teach us we should have
pay respect to love and someone we love.

THE MOST POPULAR FOLK TALE AMONG OUR STUDENTS
SANGKURIANG LEGEND Once upon the time, there was
a family who lived in the regent of West Java.
There lived Sangkuriang, his mother, and a dog.
One day, mother ordered Sangkuriang to go to the
forest to kill a deer and take its heart. But
Sangkuriang didn't take the deer's heart, but
killed his dog and took its heart. Then he went
home and gave that dog's heart to his mother. His
mother knew that it wasn't a deer's heart but it
was dog's heart. His mother  was very angry and
hit his head. The fact that, it was his father
who had changed into a dog. His mother sent him
out of their house. Two years later, Sangkuriang
grew up. When he went around the forest, he met a
beautiful girl. The was so beautiful and
Sangkuriang fell in love with her. Actually the
girl was his mother, but Sangkuriang didnt know
that. He wanted to marry her. His mother knew
that he was her son so she asked him to make a
boat before the sun rise. As soon as she asked
him for this, he began to make the boat. He
invited the genies to help him to do it. His
mother saw that he had almost finished even
though the sun hadn't risen. She husked the rice
and let the rooster start to call. Sangkuriang
was angry and kicked the boat and the boat became
a mountain that now is known as Tangkuban Parahu
Mountain in West Java.
