---------------------------------

The story of the origin of Talondo Village came from the
West Sulawesi region. This story is obtained from informants,
namely Bangsa and Sillas Tamassi/Tobara (2015). In addition, the
story was obtained from informants, namely Muhaimin Faisal,
Sadrak Kombo, Silas Rustam, and Jefri Elazar (2016). The
origins of Talondo Village have several versions, depending on
the region or village of the speaker. This unpublished story is
intended for elementary school students.
The story of the origin of Talondo Village is titled Tobara
from Bone Talondo. It contains moral teachings, namely
diligence and mutual help shown by the Tobara. In addition, they
are always patient and enthusiastic.
The writings of this story cannot be completed without
assistance from various parties. In relation to that, the author
would like to thank Prof. Dr. Gufran Ali Ibrahim, as the Head of
Center of Cultivation, who has given the author the opportunity to
write this story. Furthermore, the author would also express his
thanks to the Folklore Writing Committee in line with the 2016
National Literacy Movement which has given the author the
opportunity to work on writing folklore and participate in this
selection. Hopefully this story will be useful for students
throughout the nation.
