The Background Story
About deep sadness and beauty. Gleaming beauty that hides the painful reality of the owner. Just like mother nature which present its beauty depite its deterioration at the other parts of world Same story to the girl, which presents magical beauty coverring her true painful story.

story
hehehe... original story behind this work wasn't meant to be a children's story as indicated in contest; but since I'm eager to join her contest (and she allowed me ) luckily I found a suitable traditional Indonesian (my country) story.
Here it is: I mean the summary, coz the real one is too long ^^0; The title is: History of Mount Tangkuban Perahu


Once upon a time, lives a poor mother and her son. One day her son decided to go sailing for a journey to make better living. Every day, the mother prays for her son's success and indeed God bless her son a gleaming success and richness.
Upon his success, the son travels with his beautiful rich wive, accidentally meet his old poor ugly mother. Couldn't bare the embarassment, the son denied to acknowledge the woman as his mother. He then decided to sail away with his giant ship full-filled with treasures and deserted his mother alone.
Aroused with anger and the betrayal, watching his son's ship sailing away and away, the mother cursed her son. Suddenly the ship flipped, plunging all of its passangers and treasures into the sea. The ship was then frozen and become a mountain called Tangkuban Perahu or in english, Flipped Ship.
The mother regreted so much, but apparently nothing can be done to reverse what have been cursed.

So the lesson for children from this story is never ever betray your loving parents



And that's a wrap
