A long time ago in East Java there were two strong animals, Sura and Baya.
Sura was a shark and Baya was a crocodile. They lived in a sea. Actually, they
were friends. But when they were hungry, they were very greedy. They did not
want to share their food. They would fight for it and never stop fighting until
one of them gave up.
It was a very hot day. Sura and Baya were looking for some food. Suddenly, Baya saw a goat.
“Yummy, this is my lunch,” said Baya.
“No way! This is my lunch. You are greedy! I had not eaten for two days!” said Sura.
Then Sura and Baya fought again. After several hours, they were very tired. Sura had a plan to stop their bad behavior.
“I’m tired of fighting, Baya,” said Sura.
“Me too. What should we do to stop fighting? Do you have any idea?” asked Baya.
“Yes, I do. Let’s share our territory. I live in the water, so I look for food in the sea. And you live on the land, right? So, you look for the food also on the land. The border is the beach, so we will never meet again. Do you agree?” asked Sura.
“Hmm... let me think about it. OK, I agree. From today, I will never go to the sea again. My place is on the land,” said Baya.
Then they both lived in the different places. But one day, Sura went to the land and looked for some food in the river. He was very hungry and there was not much food in the sea. Baya was very angry when he knew that Sura broke 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. They both hit each other. 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 place again.
The place where they were fighting was a mess. Blood was everywhere. People then always talked about the fight between Sura and Baya. They then named the place of the fight as Surabaya, it’s from Sura the shark and Baya the crocodile. People also put their fight as the symbol of Surabaya city.

SURA DAN BAYA
Sebuah waktu yang lama lalu di Jawa Timur ada dua
binatang yang kuat, Sura dan Baya. Sura adalah hiu dan Baya adalah buaya.
Mereka tinggal di laut a. Sebenarnya, mereka adalah teman-teman. Tapi ketika
mereka lapar, mereka sangat serakah. Mereka tidak ingin berbagi makanan mereka.
Mereka akan berjuang untuk itu dan tidak pernah berhenti berjuang sampai salah
satu dari mereka menyerah.
Itu adalah hari yang sangat panas. Sura dan Baya sedang
mencari beberapa makanan. Tiba-tiba, Baya melihat seekor kambing.
"Yummy, ini adalah makan siang," kata Baya.
"Tidak mungkin! Ini adalah makan siang. Anda
serakah! Saya tidak makan selama dua hari! "Kata Sura.
Kemudian Sura dan Baya berjuang lagi. Setelah beberapa
jam, mereka sangat lelah. Sura punya rencana untuk menghentikan perilaku buruk
mereka.
"Aku bosan pertempuran, Baya," kata Sura.
"Saya juga. Apa yang harus kita lakukan untuk
menghentikan pertempuran? Apakah Anda punya ide? "Tanya Baya.
"Ya. Mari berbagi wilayah kita. Saya hidup di air,
jadi saya mencari makanan di laut. Dan Anda tinggal di tanah, kan? Jadi, Anda
mencari makanan juga di darat. Perbatasan adalah pantai, jadi kita tidak akan
pernah bertemu lagi. Apakah Anda setuju? "Tanya Sura.
"Hmm ... biarkan aku berpikir tentang hal itu.
Baiklah saya setuju. Mulai hari ini, aku tidak akan pernah pergi ke laut lagi.
Tempat saya adalah di tanah, "kata Baya.
Kemudian mereka berdua tinggal di tempat yang berbeda.
Tapi suatu hari, Sura pergi ke tanah dan mencari beberapa makanan di sungai.
Dia sangat lapar dan tidak ada banyak makanan di laut. Baya sangat marah ketika
ia tahu bahwa Sura melanggar janji.
"Hei, apa yang kau lakukan di sini? Ini adalah
tempat saya. Tempat Anda adalah di laut! "
"Tapi, ada air di sungai, kan? Jadi, ini juga
tempat saya! "Kata Sura.
Kemudian Sura dan Baya berjuang lagi. Mereka berdua
saling memukul. Sura sedikit ekor Baya ini. Baya melakukan hal yang sama untuk
Sura. Dia menggigit sangat keras sampai Sura akhirnya menyerah. Dia kembali ke
laut. Baya sangat senang. Dia memiliki tempat lagi.
Tempat di mana mereka berjuang berantakan. Darah di
mana-mana. Orang kemudian selalu berbicara tentang pertarungan antara Sura dan
Baya. Mereka kemudian menamakan tempat pertarungan seperti Surabaya, itu dari
Sura hiu dan Baya buaya. Orang juga menempatkan perjuangan mereka sebagai
simbol kota Surabaya.
