[Terjemahan Bahasa Indonesia]

Dahulu kala di Jawa Timur, ada dua binatang yang sangat kuat bernama Sura dan Baya. Sura adalah seekor hiu dan Baya adalah buaya. Sebenarnya, mereka adalah teman, tetapi ketika mereka merasa lapar, mereka sangat rakus dan tidak mau berbagi makanan. Mereka biasa bertengkar karena masalah itu.

Suatu hari, Sura dan Baya sedang mencari makanan, tetapi mereka tidak mau berbagi dan kemudian bertengkar lagi. Setelah beberapa jam, Sura dan Baya memiliki rencana untuk menghentikan pertengkaran mereka dengan memutuskan agar Sura hidup dan mencari makan di laut, sedangkan Baya hidup dan mencari makan di darat.

Namun suatu hari, Sura pergi ke darat dan mencari makan di sekitaran sungai. Baya marah ketika mengetahui Sura mengingkari janji. Kemudian, Sura dan Baya bertengkar lagi hingga akhirnya Sura menyerah dan dia kembali ke laut.

Orang-orang selalu berbicara tentang pertengkaran antara Sura dan Baya. Mereka menamakan tempat pertempuran itu sebagai Surabaya, dari Sura si hiu dan Baya si buaya. Karena itulah, masyarakat menggunakan kisah perjuangan mereka dalam mencari makanan sebagai simbol Kota Surabaya.
