Indonesian Folklore

The Origin of Surabaya

Long long time ago, there lived a shark called Sura and a crocodile called

Buaya. They always fought each other for food. Both were equal in terms of

strength and brains. And they were indeed ferocious and voracious. They

fought too often that no one had won or lost. Finally they made a deal.

“I am tired of fighting all the time Buaya” said Sura, the shark.

“Me too, Sura. What are we supposed to do now so we stop fighting each

other?” asked Buaya.

The shark, Sura got an idea to stop the fight,so quickly that he explained it

right away to Buaya. “In order to stop our fighting, we should split the region

into two. I have full authority in the deep water and have to find my prey in

the water. While you get the land and your prey must be from inland. The

border will between the land and the water, we decide that it should be here,

the place where the sea water rise when the tide comes!”

“Okay, I agree with your idea!” said Buaya.

With the split of the region, there was no fighting between Sura and Buaya.

Both have agreed to respect each other’s territory. One day Sura the shark

secretly hunt for its prey in the river, it was so secretly done that Buaya

wouldn’t find him. At first, it worked. But finally Buaya found out about

Sura’s acts. Filled with anger because of the breach of the agreement, Buaya

shouted to Sura “Hey Sura, why did you breach the agreement that we had

made before? Why did you dare enter the river that is in my territory? Where

is your territory?” asked Buaya.

Not feeling guilty, Sura calmly said, “How can I breach the rule? This river

has water in it, so it is part of my territory as well, isn’t it?” said Sura the

shark. “What? The river is on the land, while your territory is in the sea,

which means the river is my territory!” Buaya said angrily.

“No, I never said that water means only sea water, but also river water”

answered Sura the shark.

Indonesian Folklore

“No, I thought my points were clear, and I am right about this!” said Sura.

You trick me but I am not stupid like you think” said Buaya angrily.

“I don’t care if you stupid or smart, what matter is that either sea water or

river water,it is still water. And it is my territory!” Sura insisted.

If so then, you purposively lie to

me? Then our agreement is off!

Who has the greatest strength,

he will be the only ruler!” said

Buaya again. “Let’s fight then to

prove that!” challenged Sura

presumptuously. Fierce fight

between Sura the shark and

Buaya the crocodile happened

again.

This time the fight was so violent

and awful. Both pounced each

other, they bit and stroke each

other. In a split of a second, the surrounding water turned to red because of

the blood that was running from the wounds of those animals. They fought

endlessly without rest.

In this epic battle, Buaya got bitten by Sura the shark at his right butt. Since

then, his tail always point to the left While Sura got bitten at his tail, fatal

enough that the tail wasnearly cut off. Sura then retreated to the sea. Buaya

was satisfied that he finally protected his territory. This battle between the

shark Sura and Buaya is so memorable to people of the city of Surabaya. Be-

cause of that, the name of Surabaya will always be linked to the story. It is

also because of this story that the city monument in Surabaya is a statue of

Sura (the shark) and Buaya (the crocodile).

Cerita Rakyat Indonesia

Asal Mula Surabaya

Dahulu, di lautan luas sering terjadi perkelahian antara ikan hiu Sura dengan Buaya.

Mereka berkelahi hanya karena berebut mangsa. Keduanya sama sama kuat, tangkas,

cerdik, ganas dan rakus. Sudah berkali kali mereka berkelahi belum pernah ada yang

menang atau pun yang kalah. Akhirnya mereka mengadakan kesepakatan.

"Aku bosan terus menerus berkelahi, Buaya" kata ikan Sura.

"Aku juga, Sura. Apa yang harus kita lakukan agar kita tidak lagi berkelahi?" tanya Buaya.

Ikan hiu Sura yang sudah memiliki rencana untuk menghentikan perkelahiannya dengan

Buaya segera menerangkan.

"Untuk mencegah perkelahian di antara kita, sebaiknya kita membagi daerah kekuasaan

menjadi dua. Aku berkuasa sepenuhnya di dalam air dan harus mencari mangsa di dalam

air. Sedangkan kamu berkuasa di daratan dan mangsamu harus yang berada di daratan.

Sebagai batas antara daratan dan air, kita tentukan batasnya yaitu tempat yang dicapai

oleh air laut pada waktu pasang surut!"

"Baik aku setujui gagasanmu itu!" kata Buaya.

Dengan adanya pembagian wilayah kekuasaan, maka tidak ada perkelahian lagi antara

Sura dan Buaya. Keduanya telah sepakat untuk menghormati wilayah masing masing.

Tetapi pada suatu hari, ikan hiu Sura mencari mangsa di sungai. Hal ini dilakukan

dengan sembunyi sembunyi agar Buaya tidak mengetahui. Mula mula hal ini memang

tidak ketahuan. Tetapi suatu hari Buaya memergoki perbuatan ikan hiu Sura. Tentu saja

Buaya sangat marah melihat ikan hiu Sura melanggar janjinya. "Hai Sura, mengapa kamu

melanggar peraturan yang telah kita sepakati berdua? Mengapa kamu berani memasuki

sungai yang merupakan wilayah kekuasaanku?" tanya Buaya. Ikan hiu Sura yang tak

merasa bersalah tenang tenang saja. "Aku melanggar kesepakatan? Bukankah sungai ini

berair. Bukankah aku sudah bilang bahwa aku adalah penguasa di air? nah sungai ini kan

ada airnya, jadi juga termasuk daerah kekuasaanku" kata ikan hiu Sura.

"Apa? Sungai itu kan tempatnya di darat, sedangkan daerah kekuasaanmu ada di laut,

berarti sungai itu adalah daerah kekuasaanku!" Buaya ngotot.

15

Cerita Rakyat Indonesia

"Tidak bisa. Aku kan tidak pernah bilang kalau di air hanya air laut, tetapi juga air

sungai" jawab ikan hiu Sura. "Kau sengaja mencari gara-gara, Sura?"

"Tidak. kukira alasanku cukup kuat dan aku memang di pihak yang benar!" kata Sura.

"Kau sengaja mengakaliku. Aku tidak sebodoh yang kau kira" kata Buaya mulai marah.

"Aku tak peduli kau bodoh atau pintar, yang penting air sungai dan air laut adalah

kekuasaanku!" Sura tetap tak mau kalah.

"Kalau begitu kamu memang bermaksud membohongiku. Dengan demikian perjanjian

kita batal! Siapa yang memiliki kekuatan paling hebat, dialah yang akan menjadi penguasa

tunggal!" Kata Buaya lagi.

"Berkelahi lagi, siapa takut!" tantang Sura dengan pongahnya. Pertarungan sengit antara

ikan hiu Sura dan Buaya terjadi lagi. Pertarungan kali ini semakin seru dan dahsyat.

Saling menerjang dan menerkam, saling menggigit dan memukul. Dalam waktu sekejap,

air di sekitarnya menjadi merah oleh darah yang keluar dari luka luka kedua binatang itu.

Mereka terus bertarung mati matian tanpa istirahat sama sekali. Dalam pertarungan

dahsyat ini, Buaya mendapat gigitan ikan hiu Sura di pangkal ekornya sebelah kanan.

Selanjutnya, ekornya itu terpaksa selalu membelok ke kiri. Sementara ikan hiu Sura juga

tergigit ekornya hingga hampir putus lalu ikan Sura kembali ke lautan. Buaya puas telah

dapat mempertahankan

daerahnya. Pertarungan

antara Ikan hiu yang

bernama Sura dengan

Buaya ini sangat berkesan

di hati masyarakat

Surabaya. Oleh karena itu,

nama surabaya selalu dikait

kaitkan dengan peristiwa

ini. Dari peristiwa inilah

kemudian dibuat lambang

kota Surabaya yaitu gambar

ikan hiu Sura dan Buaya.

Hello guys.

Termirov Maksud Mamatkulovic. This guys definitely has many experiences in

Indonesia and his favorite Indonesian dish is gorengan (fried fritters). Impressive isn’t it?

NM: Hi Max, how are you? Well, we will start doing an interview about your experience in

Indonesia.

Max: It has been a year and i do speak Bahasa Indonesia too.

NM: very cool! What do you do in Malang??? Are you teaching there or what else?? And what

was your first impression when you came to Indonesia??

Max: Well, last year i was studying bahasa Indonesia in IKIP Budi Utomo Malang. I was on

the Darmasiswa program offered by the Indonesian government. On June 20th, I went back

to Uzbekistan as my one-year program was over.

From Reader

I also applied to Master's degree program which known as KNB-Kemitraan Negeri

Berkembang (Developing Countries Partnership Program) and i won it this year, so I came

to the state university of Malang on my MA now. The duration of educational program

actually lasts for three years ,first year for language course, the rest of two years for MA.

But i started MA without doing the language course, because i have learned it last year on a

different program. Talking about the very first impression when I came to Indonesia, then I

would say it was truly pleasant and splendiferous. We were invited to many exciting

program such conferences, concerts, and festival. I sing and play music as well, so I

personally enjoy these kind of gatherings.

NM: I see, it must be so busy in Malang and wow you have nice talent and did many

activities too. Well in your opinion what do you think about Indonesian education system?

Max: Education in Indonesia is progressing, as I can see that there are tremendous number

of researchers and student pursuing degrees.

NM: Does Indonesian Education is able to be reckoned and keep up with the global system?

And have you ever compared between Indonesian education with Uzbekistan's education?

Max: Yes i did and it almost the same with Uzbekistan

NM: ok it's good, then what other activities that you have been doing in Indonesia?

Max: I become adjudicator, I mean jury member in English debating contests. I also teaching

English on some voluntary programs ,usually my friends request it. Last year I used to be

volunteer in Politeknik Negeri Malang and IKIP Budi Utomo Malang.

NM: Do you have an unforgetable experience when you become an English teacher in

Malang??

Max: Yes i did. When i was teaching English in a nursery school in Lawang, one kid in the

class came to me and he told me in Bahasa – but I will translate into English – he said "why

are you babbling too much? Go away from here, I don’t want to study'

From Reader

NM: Ah it was bad experience. Btw have you ever visited some cities in indonesia?

Max: Yes, I had. I have been to Blitar, Surabaya, Bogor, Bali, Rembang, Lasem, Jakarta,

Lamongan, Bandung, and Yogyakarta.

NM; Let's talk about food. What kind of food you usually to eat in Uzbekistan ??

Max: In Uzbekistan there is similar food like nasi goreng or soto. However the taste of food

is usually dominated by beef.

NM: Do you have any Indonesian favorite food??

Max: Yes I do, there are nasi goreng,ayam goreng,tempe goreng and all of gorengan at all.

NM: why do you like gorengan so much??

Max: Because in my country there are many gorengan.

NM: Waaa it is so surprising to know that in Uzbekistan we can find gorengan as well.

Okay, the next question is do you find similarity between Uzbekistan and Indonesian

culture?

Max: In Uzbekistan people are tend to be so serious, rather to smile, whether when they

have work to do or have problem to solve. But here in Indonesia, smile is ibadah (worship)

right? But sometimes, I am not quite sure whether someone is smiling or laughing at me.

NM: Oh yeah, they have similar meaning actually. Btw, thank you for your kindness and

willingness to share your experiences… Good luck to you Max.

Max : Thanks you very much. Good luck for Nusantara Magazine too.
