Once upon a time in West Java, lived a king who had a beautiful daughter.  Her name was Dayang Sumbi.  She liked weaving very much.  One day, she was weaving a cloth when one of her tools fell to the ground.  She was very tired, at the same time she was too lazy to take it.  Then she just shouted out loudly, “Anybody there! Bring me my tool.  I will give you a special present. If you are a woman.  I will consider you as my sister and if you are a man, I will marry you”. 

      Suddenly a male dog, its name was Tumang came.  He brought her the falling tool.  Dayang Sumbi was very surprised.  She regretted her words but she could not deny it.  So, she had married Tumang.  Then they lived in a small village.  Several months later, they had a son.  His name was Sangkuriang.  He was a handsome and healthy boy.

      Sangkuriang liked hunting very much, especially deer.  He often hunted in the woods.  When he went hunting, Tumang was always with him. One day, Dayang Sumbi wanted to have deer’s heart so she asked Sangkuriang to hunt for a deer.  Then Sangkuriang went to the woods with his faithful dog.  Tumang, but after several days in the woods Sangkuriang could not find any deer.  He did not want to disappoint her mother so he killed Tumang.  He did not know that Tumang was his father.  Sangkuriang gave Tumang’s heart to her mother.  But Dayang Sumbi knew that it was Tumang’s heart.  She was so angry that she could not control her emotions.  She hit Sangkuriang on the head. Sangkuriang was wounded.  Sangkuriang left her mother in sadness.

      Many years passed and Sangkuriang became a strong young man.  One day he arrived at his own village but he did not realize it.  There he met Dayang Sumbi.  At the time Dayang Sumbi was given eternal beauty by God so she stayed young forever.  Both of them did not know each other.  So, they fall in love and then they decide to marry.  But then Dayang Sumbi recognized a scar on Sangkuriang’s head.  She knew that Sangkuriang was his son.  It was impossible for them to marry.  She told him but he did not believe her.  He wished that they would marry soon.  So Dayang Sumbi gave very difficult conditions.  She asked Sangkuriang to build a lake and a boat in one night! She said she needed that for honeymoon.

      Sangkuriang agreed.  With the help of a genie, Sangkuriang tried to build them.  By midnight he had completed the lake by building a dam in Citarum River.  Then he started making the boat.  It was almost dawn when he almost finished it.  Meanwhile, Dayang Sumbi kept watching him.  She was very worried when she knew this.  So, she made lights in the east.  Then the genie thought that it was already dawn.  It was time for them to leave.  They left Sangkuriang alone.  Without their help he could not finish the boat.

      Sangkuriang was angry.  He kicked the boat.  Then the boat turned upside down.  It later became Mount Tangkuban Perahu.  Which means an upside-down boat.  From a distance the mount really looks like an upside-down boat.
