Reorder the following paragraphs.

• In a small coastal village in West Sumatra, Indonesia, lived Malin Kundang, a young boy raised by his loving but poor mother. As he grew older, Malin became determined to change his fate and seek a better life. One day, he left the village and set sail on a ship, promising his mother that he would return a successful man.

• Years later, Malin Kundang became wealthy and married a beautiful woman of high status. He eventually returned to his home village. His mother, upon hearing of her son's arrival, hurried to the harbour, eager to reunite with him. However, when she approached Malin, he was ashamed of her appearance and denied knowing her.

• The rejection shattered his mother's heart, and in her deep sorrow, she prayed for him to be punished for his arrogance and ingratitude. As Malin Kundang's ship left the harbor, a sudden storm arose, darkening the skies and stirring the sea.

• The story of Malin Kundang serves as a moral lesson about the importance of humility, gratitude, and respect for one's parents, a tale passed down through generations in Indonesian folklore.

• Lightning struck the ship, and Malin Kundang and his crew were turned to stone. The legend says that the rocks on the coast still resemble a man kneeling in eternal repentance, a haunting reminder of the consequences of Malin Kundang's pride and betrayal.
