THE ORIGIN OF A COUNTRY CALLED MINANGKABAU(Minangkabau, West Sumatera)
A ship came from the sea carrying a buffalo with long horns. The ship anchored and the buffalo landed at a hill Bull Gombak, and then it was bathed in a river called Sungai Emas, and after that the ship passed along the foot of a hill called Bukit Batu Patah. So the buffalo was taken outside; its length was fifteen fathoms, its bulk eight fathoms, its horn six fathoms. Then the skipper said to Datuk Ketumanggungan and Datuk Perpatin nan Sabatang as well as to all the people of the country, “Would you, all the people gathered here, like to make a bet by having our buffaloes fight? In case my buffalo is defeated, all my ship will belong to you,” Then Datuk Perpatin nan Sabatang and Datuk Ketumanggungan as well as dignitaries and all of the intelectual expressed their common view. “Let’s hold it after seven days.” They were going to look for a young buffalo which was still sucking milk from its mother. Meanwhile they made an iron support having nine branches with six apexes.	(1)
Before the seven days elapsed, during the night the young calf was not given the oppurtunity to be suckled by its mother. On the mouth of the thirsty calf they fixed the iron support mentioned above. All men and women went out of their houses to watch the fight. The big buffalo was driven to the large field, while the young buffalo was released and also driven to the center of the field. At once the young buffalo hurried up toward the big buffalo to suck milk to quench its thirst, but in so doing, it attacked with its iron support the belly of the big buffalo; and the young buffalo won the game.

How ashamed the skipper was. He abandoned all his ships and he went back to the sea; he left a acock behind. Then all the inhabitants of Nature throughout the county came to an agreement to call the place Pulau Perca (the island of rubber). At present it is called Minangkabau, and up till now the name has not been changed.	(3)
