Long ago, in the land of Borneo, there lived 10 powerful and wise datus (chiefs). These datus were highly respected and loved by their people. One day, a great storm came and destroyed the land. The datus knew that they had to do something to save their people, so they decided to go on a journey to find a new land.
The datus sailed for many days and nights, and finally, they reached a new land. This land was beautiful and fertile, and the datus knew that it was the perfect place for their people to live. The datus named this new land "Borneo" after their homeland.
The datus divided the land among themselves and began to build new settlements. They also taught their people how to farm and how to live in peace with one another. The people of Borneo were grateful to the datus for leading them to a new land, and they honored them as their leaders.
The 10 datus ruled Borneo for many years, and they brought peace and prosperity to the land. They were known as the "Ten Bornean Datus," and their names are still remembered and honored today.
