Tok Lalang’s
Story
 Once there was a rich man named Tok Lalang, who lived in

Kampung Sireh. He had a big piece of land beside Sungai

Kelantan. He planted a lot of paddy, vegetables and fruit trees.

He also kept many animals. Other villagers built their houses

on a hill behind his land.

 Although he was rich, Tok Lalang was very selfish. He
would not allow the villagers to use the river. He built a high
fence between his land and the village. The villagers had to use
a pump to draw water from wells for their daily needs. They
were very angry with him, but there was nothing they could
do.
 One day, it rained heavily. It continued to rain heavily for
several days. On the seventh day, the river overflowed and
flooded the land beside it. Tok Lalang could not get out of his
house.
 Two days later, the rain stopped and the water
level slowly went down. Tok Lalang come out from his
house and found that he had nothing left. All his
animals and crops were dead. He was very sad.
 The villagers heard about Tok Lalang’s
misfortune, but they did not pump for joy. Instead,
they bought food to his house. They also helped
him to plant new crops.
 They even gave him a few goats and chickens. He
felt ashamed that he had not been a good neighbour. He
took down the fence around his land, so that the villagers
could use the river. He also began to help others.
