THE UNLUCKY DREAMER

A long time ago, there lived a young child with his father in a small village under the foot of Guntur Mountain – named Ujang Sam. They lived in the simple house but sometimes they were unhappy. He was polish, lazy and when he was asked by his father, he only could dream without to do something that asked by his father.

One day ini his house, his father asked him to go to market that’s not so far from the house. It’s happened in the afternoon after his father came back from the garden. While his father, Mr. Benjo was sitting on the arm chair and drinking a cup of coffee, he spoke to his son while reading an old magazine.

Mr. Benjo    : Jang, what are you doing?

Jang Sam     : Not doing something dad, what’s the matter?

Mr. Benjo    : Please help me to buy a tobaccos and pahpir (a cigarette’s paper)

Jang Sam     : OK! Dad, where’s the money?

Mr. Benjo    : Emmm, by a rice, because we haven’t any money

Jang Sam     : Ah! You have worked at Mang Eruk rice field dad, haven’t you?

Mr. Benjo    : Yees, but he haven’t paid me. Woy … don’t talk any more, go … go …

Jang Sam     : Ok … Ok ! How much must I take a rice?

Mr. Benjo    : Only one Kg, and don’t forget by at Mang Undang’s shop – there’s more cheaper.

Jang Sam     : Yes dad! I’m going now … see you!

Mr. Benjo    : see you too, don’t be long time okey!

(Jang Sam went out of the home, but he wasn’t going to the market. Instead, he went to the Bamboo – hovel and dreaming that he was in the market)

In the same time, Sam’s friends Udin Nganga and Dian Handuk was coming to his house.

Uding Nganga        : Sampurasun! (sudanese’s greeting), sam … are you at home?

Mr. Benjo                : Uuy … who’s there? Come in boys.

Udin Nganga          : Eh … Mr. Benjo, what are you doing dad?

Mr. Benjo                : Drinking coffee, man!

Dian Anduk            : Mr. Benjo, where’s Jang Sam?

Father (Mr. Benjo)  : Mmm … last minutes ago, I asked him to buy tobacco and pahpir, man… tapi budak teh can datang wae … teuing ka mana heula!

Udin Nganga          : Mr … wait … wait. I felt, I Saw him is the rice field, I don’t think so because I see him from a far place the different is he’ssoa bad boy … goreng patut pisan …
