The story of the rock split the Acehnese folk story

Once upon a time, in Aceh there lived a farming family. The farmer has several children. Every day, the farmer goes to the fields to grow crops. But because the dry season is so long, many plants die. As a result, Pak Tani did not have rice for food supplies.the farmer got the idea. He caught the locust in his field, then told his wife to cook the grasshopper.

"In the past we have eaten," said the farmer.

No one complained about the situation. Every day the farmer, the farmer and her children went to the fields to catch grasshoppers. They put the locusts in the barn.

Until one night, Farmer never came home. Meanwhile, the stomachs of his children are already rumbling.

"I'm hungry, ma'am," said the farmer's son to his mother

"You take the grasshopper in the barn, so you can cook it," said his mother. The boy went to the barn and took some grasshoppers. However, he forgot to close the barn again. Finally the locusts flew.

Knowing that, the farmer was very scared. Her husband would be very angry. Sure enough, Mr. Farmer came home on an empty stomach. He is very hungry. Knowing the barn was empty, he was angry with his wife.

Pak Tani expels his wife from home. His wife then went to a large rock. That said, the stone can eat humans. He was very sad to be expelled by her husband. He did not have a place to go home other than his house. "I would better be eaten by the stone," sobbed the wife of Pak Tani.

Arriving at the big rock, Mrs. Tani hummed a song that made the big rock split. Mrs. Tani entered the stone. He disappeared, leaving only seven strands of his hair.

The moral message of Indonesian folklore is the split rock is not excessive if angry, because it will only make you regret.
