Origin of Surabaya City II
Nevertheless, one day Sura looked for food in the river secretly but Buaya recognized it. How mad Buaya was because it was the blood enemy of Sura.
"Hi Sura, why are you brave enough entering my territory?" Buaya asked.
Sura answered calmly," You know that I have authority in water, haven't I? And you know that there are water in the river, so I am permitted to seek for food in the river."
Buaya could not accept that reason," No, this river is in my land, so this river is under my territory," Buaya said.
"I have never told you that water are not only in the sea but also in the river.
Consequently, I have authority to seek for food in the river," Sura objected.
"You have deceived me, Sura? A am not stupid as you think!" Buaya was angry.
"I do not care whether you are stupid or smart, the most important thing for me the water in the sea ad the river are same," SUra defended the statement.
"Okay, if your statement like that, it's better for us cancel our agreement. Let's prove our powers, who owe the awesome power, it would be the only ruler," Buaya stated.
It means by fighting? Ha ha, okay!" Sura answered arrogantly.
Afterwards, both of them fought continuously. This fighting was more awesome than before. They hit, pounced and bitten each other. In this fighting, Buaya got a bite in its tail, it made Buaya sick when it turned. Whereas, Sura had been bitten by Buaya in its tail and almost broken.
The water around them was red because it mixed with their blood. SUra shorthly went back to the sea. Buaya was satified because it could defend its authority. That awesome incident made our society impressed. SInce that day, that region called Surabaya which was taken from the word Sura and Buaya. This pictures of SUra and Buaya were used as the symbol of Surabaya municipality.
The End.

Origin of Surabaya City
Once upona time, in Java Sea in the east of Madura Island, there were two water creatures competed against each other. They were a shark named Sura and crocodile named Buaya. Both of them fought only because of food. They were strong, smart, ferocious and greedy.
When they met accidentally or not, tehy fought until the sea water churned. Nevertheless, there was no winner and looser. In the long run, they were tired and decided to stop their fighting. They finally made an agreement to divide authorities.
" I fully have authority inthe water and seek for food in the water teritory whereas your authority is in the land and you must seek for food in the land. As a boundary between land and water, we will resolve the line, a place which can be reached by sea water in rise and fall,: the shark Sura said.
"Okay, I agree with you," Buaya answered.
By deviding the territorie fairly, there would be no figting between Sura and Buaya anymore. Both of them agreed not to break the agreement and keep their territories in a good way.
