Poor Mr. Lebai
A long time ago, a man called Mr. Lebai lived on a river bank in a village in West Sumatra. One day, he re-
ceived two party invitations—one from a villager upstream and another one downstream. The two parties’ lo-
cations were far from each other. However, the parties were to take place exactly at the same time.
Not wanting to miss both parties, he started rowing his boat downstream for he knew that the food
there was very delicious. In the middle of his journey, he stopped. Mr. Lebai remembered that the host of the
upstream usually gave more food to the guests, so he turned his boat back and started to row upstream.
After rowing for several minutes, he stopped again. He remembered that the downstream host was a
generous man. Mr. Lebai thought that if he got early, he wold get a delicious buffalo head. He turned back to
go to the downstream village.
However, when he got there, the party in the downstream village was over. He saw people walking
home, bringing bags of food. Mr. Lebai was disappointed. He quickly turned his boat again heading for the
upstream village. He rowed as fast as he could. However, in the middle of the journey, he saw people walking
home bringing their bags of food, too. It meant the party in the upstream was over, also.
In the end, Mr. Lebai went home empty-handed, disappointed, and exhausted. He was so unfortunate.
Therefore he was nicknamed “Pak Lebai Malang” or “Poor Mr. Lebai”.

Once upon a time, there was an old snake who was too weak to hunt for frogs. Then he had an idea to trap the
frogs.
He went to a pond full of frogs, and relaxed on the bank without any intention to hunt. At first the frogs
ran away, but then they approached him. The frog king asked, “O Snake! Why don’t you hunt us as usual?”
The snake replied, “Last night, I bit a holy priest. He cursed me that from then on, I have to serve frogs.
So, I lie here to give a ride on my back to any frog who needs service.”
Then, the king decided to take a ride. The snake rode him around the pond, and the king was very pleased.
However, the next morning, when the king frog asked to ride on the snake back, he said, “I am too weak to
crawl. I have not eaten for so long, and must eat something to be strong to give you a ride.”
The frog king decided that they must take turns to serve the snake; one frog each day to keep him strong.
From then onwards, the snake gave ride to the frogs, and got to eat one frog every day. However, the king of
frogs was too excited that he did not realize the frogs were rapidly decreasing. Finally, one day, the snake also
ate the king and the entire frogs in the pond were gone.
