On Saturday night, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a
large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike
twelve in twenty minutes’ time. Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve,
the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but

Sumatra. One Day, he received two party invitations-one from a villager upstream
and another one downstream the two parties locations were far from each other.
However, the parties were to take place exactly at the same time.
Now wanting to miss both parties, he started rowing his boat downstream for
he knew that food there was very delicious. in the middle of his journey, he
stopped. Mr lebai remembered that the host of 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 there early,
he would 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. Thereafter, he was nicknamed "Pak Lebai Malang" or
"Poor Mr Lebai".
