brothers. “They are both good workmen and they are of good families. We can share the payment
we will have to give them.
“Why would you order the memorial pole for our late father?” Umat asked. “The new chief
should do it. I think I will ask Jali and Galang, they are better workmen. And they are both rich, so I
don’t have to pay them too much.”
Galau looked at his brother, surprised, “I am the eldest brother, he said. “Of course I will be
the new chief.”

custom that the eldest son should succeed the father. We must respect the custom.”
