There is a man who named as Pan Balang Tamak. He was a clever man who always had ideas to trick other people. He was also a lazy man and always had excuses for his laziness.

One day the villagers asked to gather to have mutual resistance for cleaning up the village. The head of the village told the villagers to gather by the time the chickens woke up.

When the day came, everybody gathered in Bale Banjar (Banjar is a place for the villagers to have a meeting and discussion). The head of the village gave instructions to the villagers about their activity that morning. He also emphasized for those who did not come that morning would get a 'me and punishment. He did so to make the villagers discipline. Besides that he knew that Balang Tamak would come late or even would not come that morning as he usually did.

In fact he was late for a few hours. He came after the villagers had already finished their activities. He came with his innocent face as if lie did not make any mistakes. The head of the village smiled at him and thought, this time Pan Balang would get a fine and would be punished. Then the head of the village said, "Balang you come late and you will get punished and get a fine."

"You cannot punish me and I will not pay the fine", said Him calmly.

"What did you say?" the head of the village became impatient, "Everybody asked to gather by the time the chickens woke up but you come late, thus you should be punished."

"No... no... no... I also come by the time my hen woke up. You know I only have a hen", said Him.

"Alright then, but what time is it now? Everybody has already finished cleaning up the village", said the head of the village.

"Well I only have a hen and she was laying her eggs. I was waiting she woke up and got off." said Him.

"Excuses!" said the head of the village. He looked angry with Him.

"Calm down Sir. You said that we had to gather by the time the chickens woke up and got off, didn't you? My hen is also a chicken, right", said Pan.

"He is right, Sir", one of the villagers exclaimed.

The head of the village thought for a while. Finally he agreed that Balang was right. "Well you are clever and you are not punished now but next time You will not have your fortune" , said the head of the village.

"Well, I was born with fortunes", said Him.
