A long time ago in East Java there were two strong animals, Sura and Baya. Sura was a shark and Baya was a crocodile. Th ey lived in the sea. They were friends, but when they were hungry, they did not want to share their food. They fought over it and never stopped fighting until one of them gave up.
One hot day, Sura and Baya were looking for food. Suddenly Baya saw a goat. “Yummy, this is my lunch,” said Baya. “No way! Th is is my lunch. You are greedy! I haven’t eaten for two days!” said Sura. Then Sura and Baya fought again. While they were fighting, the goat ran away.
After fighting for hours, Sura and Baya felt very tired. “I’m tired of fighting, Baya,” said Sura. “Me too,” said Baya. “We must stop fighting. Do you have any idea how?” “Yes, I do. Let’s separate our territory. I’ll live in the water and look for food in the sea. And you live on the land and in the river and look for food there. Do you agree?” asked Sura.
“Hmm ... let me think about it. OK, I agree. From today, I will never go into the sea again. My place is on the land,” said Baya.
So they both lived in different places. But one day Sura was very hungry, and there was not much food in the sea. So he went to the land and looked for some food in the river. Baya was very angry when he discovered that Sura had broken the promise. “Hey, what are you doing here? This is my place. Your place is in the sea!” “But, there is water in the river, right? So, this is also my place!” said Sura. Then Sura and Baya fought again. Sura bit Baya’s tail. Baya did the same thing to Sura. He bit very hard until Sura finally gave up. He went back to the sea. Baya was very happy. He had his territory again. That was their last fight. But the place where they had fought was a mess. There was blood everywhere, and people named the place ‘Surabaya’, from Sura the shark and Baya the crocodile. The city logo shows this famous fight.
