Lake Lau Kawar
It was beautiful and sunny day. All people in the Kawar village was happy. The farmers had just had their big harvest. The villagers were planning to hold a party to celebrate the best harvest. One day, all the villagers gathered in a field. They wore beautiful dresses and made delicious food. Everybody was having good times! They were singing, laughing and, of course, eating delicious food.
Unfortunetely, there was one old woman still staying at her house. She was too old and weak to go to the party. Her son, her daughter-in-law, and her grandchildren all went to the party. At home, the old woman felt very sad and lonely. She was very hungry too. She tried to find some food in the kitchen, but she was very disappointed. Her daughter-in-law did not cook that day.
At the party, the son asked his wife, "Why don't you take some food from the party and give it to my mom. Ask our son to deliver it."
The the little boy brought the food to her grandmother. The old woman was so happy. But her happines turned into sadness when she saw the food was not in a good condition. It seemed that someone has eaten the food. She just got little rice and fish bones.
The old woman was very sad. She thought bad things about her son. The old woman did not know that it was her grandson who had eaten the food on the way from the party to the house. She cursed her son. The a terrible thing happened. There was a great earthquake! Thunders struck the village. Heavy rains started to fall. All the villagers were so scared. They wanted to save themselves. They tried to find shelters. Slowly, the field turned into a lake. The lake was getting bigger and bigger. Finally, the whole village turned into a big lake. People then named the lake Lau Kawar.
