It is said that in ancient times at the peak of Mario's rante on Mount Latimojong, a grandmother and grandson named Mori lived.

It has become a practice that must be done to do Grandma Mori's life is obliged to look for forest animals that are none other than Anoa.

Residents also believe that Mori's grandmother often hunts accompanied by this subtle creature in a place located on the mountain. Grandma Mori has a pet, namely a white buffalo, this buffalo is marked in the ear.

If this buffalo suddenly runs down the mountain as if someone is chasing it, it will be a sign that the surrounding area will experience rain.

Not only that, there is something special about Grandma Mori's life, when Mori's grandmother hunts animals in the forest but she doesn't hunt like society usually does.

Mori's grandmother hunts for her hunting animals without using weapons, but uses Kidung or song/to attract her prey.

Grandma Mori started her hunt on a large rock located on the top of the mountain with a kidung chant.

With the sound of alongung being carried away by the wind and echoing bouncing on the walls of mountains and valleys located at the bottom of the mountain, it sounded as if it were inviting something to sound like a friendly loop.

With this chanting, Anoa-anoa, who was being hunted, arrived at Mori's grandmother herself.

Anoa 'anoa who came to Mori's grandmother was quite a number, so Mori's grandmother just had to sort out which Anoa she wanted to eat.

Until time, Grandma Mori felt that her life in the world had been living for a while, so she advised Mori's grandson.

The message that grandmother conveyed to Mori was that if Mori wanted to hunt near the stone his grandmother used to hunt, Mori had to scream, so the anoa meat would also be in place.

But if this message from his grandmother is violated by Mori, then this grandmother will leave Mori forever.

Mori also listened carefully to the message spoken by his grandmother and promised to comply.

The longer it gets curious by the message conveyed by Mori's grandmother, the conclusion Mori comes to the big rock secretly.

Mori also hopes to meet his grandmother again and Mori also screams to call his grandmother.

But the promise that Mori had already said was violated, the deal was also cut off, Grandma Mori also disappeared.

Until now, the public is still sure that Mori still often visits this mountain, but there is no longer any sound of the chanting of a kidung sung by Mori's grandmother and the anoa meat served on a large rock also disappeared.
