The Origin of the City Surabaya

Once upon a time, there were two animals, Sura and Baya. Sura was the name of a shark and Baya was a crocodile. They dwelled in an ocean.

Once Sura and Baya were looking for some nourishment. Suddenly, Baya saw a goat.
"Yummy, this is my lunch," said Baya.
"No way! This is my midday meal. You are greedy." said Sura. They, the battled for the goat. After several hours, they were very exhausted.

Feeling exhausted of battling, they lived in the different places. Sura dwelled in the water and Baya dwelled in the land. The border was the sandy shore, so they would never battle afresh.

One day, Sura went to the land and looked for some nourishment in the stream. He was very famished and there was not much nourishment in the sea. Baya wes very furious when he knew that Sura broke the pledge.

They fought afresh. They both hit each other. Sura bit Baya's tail and Baya did the same thing to Sura. He bit very hard until Sura eventually went back to the sea. Baya was happy.
