The Legend of Surabaya
A
long time ago in East Java there were two strong animals, Sura and Baya. Sura
was a shark and Baya was a crocodile. They lived in a sea. Actually, they were friends.
But when they were hungry, they were very greedy. They did not want to share
their food. They would fight for it and never stop fighting until one of them
gave up. It was a very hot day. Sura and Baya were looking for some food.
Suddenly, Baya saw a goat. “Yummy, this is my lunch,” said Baya. “No way! This
is my lunch. You are greedy! I had not eaten for two days!” said Sura. Then
Sura and Baya fought again. After several hours, they were very tired. Sura had
a plan to stop their bad behavior. “I’m tired of fighting, Baya,” said Sura.
“Me too. What should we do to stop fighting? Do you have any idea?” asked Baya.
“Yes, I do. Let’s share our territory.. I live in the water, so I look for food
in the sea. And you live on the land, right? So, you look for the food also on
the land. The border is the beach, so we will never meet again. Do you agree?”
asked Sura. “Hmm... let me think about it. OK, I agree. From today, I will
never go to the sea again. My place is on the land,” said Baya. Then they both lived
in the different places. But one day, Sura went to the land and looked for some
food in the river. He was very hungry and there was not much food in the sea.
Baya was very angry when he knew that Sura broke the promise. “Hey, what are
you doing here? This is my place. Your place is in the sea!” “But, there is
water in the river, right? So, this is also my place!” said Sura. Then Sura and
Baya fought again. They both hit each other. Sura bit Baya’stail. Baya did the
same thing to Sura. He bit very hard until Sura finally gave up. He went back
to the sea. Baya was very happy. He had his place again. The place where they
were fighting was a mess. Blood was everywhere. People then always talked about
the fight between Sura and Baya. They then named the place of the fight as
Surabaya, it’s from Sura the shark and Baya the crocodile. People also put
their fight as the symbol of Surabaya city.
