Look at the excerpt from the text below. Pay attention to the words in the bold

type and italic.

A long time ago, in a small village near the beach in West Sumatra lived a

woman and her son, Malin Kundang. Malin Kundang and his mother had to live

hard because his father had passed away when he was a baby.

One day, when Malin Kundang was sailing, he saw a merchant’s ship being

raided by a band of pirates. With his bravery, Malin Kundang helped the merchant

defeat the pirates. To thank him, the merchant allowed Malin Kundang to sail

with him. Malin Kundang agreed and left his mother alone.

Many years later, Malin Kundang became wealthy. When he was sailing on

his trading journey, his ship landed on a coast near a small village. The local

people recognized that it was Malin Kundang.

Malin Kundang’s mother ran to the beach to meet the new rich merchant. She

wanted to hug him to release her sadness of being lonely after a long time. When

his mother came near him, Malin Kundang who was with his beautiful wife and

his ship crews denied that she was his mother. After that he ordered his crews to

set sail to leave the old woman who was then full of sadness and anger. Finally,

she cursed Malin Kundang and he was thrown out to a small island and turned

into a stone.
