She said “Malin, my son I am your mother, I had waited a long time for you”, Malin asked “Who are you? I don’t know you”, Malin’s mother said again “I am your mother son, don’t you remember?” Malin’s mother was sad because her son didn’t admit her as his mother. Malin’s wife asked to Malin “is she you mother right?” Malin answer “No, I know she is just beggar who want to lie to me to get all of my wealth”.

Malin bertanya ‘siapa kamu?saya tidak mengenalmu”, kemudian ibu Malin berkata lagi “ aku ibumu nak, tidakkah kamu ingat?” ibunya sangat sedih sedih karena anaknya tidak mengakui dia sebagai ibunya. Istri Malin bertanya pada Malin “ benarkah dia ibumu Malin?” Malin menjawab “bukan, aku tau dia hanyalah pengemis yang ingin membohongiku untuk mendapatkan semua kekayaanku”. Malin mengatakan seperti itu karena dia malu kepada istri dan suaminya bahwa ibunya adalah orang miskin.
His mother was very sad and angry because her son was rebellious to her, so his mother put a curse Malin to becoming stone.
