Surabaya

At one time there lived two strong animals. They were Sura the shark and Baya the crocodile. The two lived together in a river in a dense forest. These two animals had an equation that was to eat greedily.

Due to their gluttony, various foods such as small fishes, crabs and shrimps continued to decrease. Finally, Sura and Baya lacked food.

Once upon a time, Baya went down to the river in search of food close to Sura. Sura got angry, and finally there was a fierce fight. Since they were equally strong then no one won.

Finally, they both decided to divide the river into two, upstream for Baya while downstream for Sura. Some time later there was a prolonged dry season.

The water downstream was getting less and less which made Sura difficult to get food. Finally, Sura went downstream to look for the food. This was known to Baya and in the end there was a violent fight between the two. This caught the attention of many people and watched the fight.


Baya and Sura are both strong and this causes both animals to die. An old man then said “from today I call this place Surabaya, in memory of this unusual event”. People who witnessed this accepted the old man’s statement. From then on it was known as the Surabaya area.
