Supirak immediately recognized her son and was full of joy on his return. Unfortunately after seeing the mother in ragged clothes, the son was ashamed to acknowledge his mother and chased her away. Disheartened by her son’s action, she cursed her son which resulted in him, his ship together with his crew and the villagers of Malubang turned into stones including Supirak herself.
