The story:
• She was caught in an unlawful relationship with her brother.
• They were supposed to be punished by stoning.• But no one has the heart to do it so the authorities
compromised to build a cavern in the middle of forest.• They were provided with food supplies.• A small chimney where smoke can be seen coming out,
this indicates they are still alive.• They were kept there for a long time until one day, no
smoke coming out from the chimney.• Everyone presumed that they died.

Moral of the story:
• Sultan Sulaiman was a strict ruler.• Anyone who does not obey the law will get
punished despite he or she is a royalty.• Dang Ayang’s punishment seemed harsh but
some has said that the punishment that one will receive in the hereafter will be even more harsh.
