A Greedy Fisherman
A long time ago in Sambas, West Kalimantan, lived a fisherman with his family. The
fisherman was poor. Everyday he went fishing in the river using his fishing rod, because he did
not have a net. That was why he always caught a few fish.
In one morning, he was not lucky because he had tried to get a fish but could not get one.
After waiting for a long time, finally he felt that a fish caught his bait. The fisherman thought. He
was thinking about the size of the fish. He knew that the big fish was very expensive. He hoped
he would get a lot of money if he could sell the fish. After thinking about the money, he
suddenly had more power to pull the string of his rod. He pulled the rod with great power, but
still, he did not succeed. The fisherman was very tired, he had been pulling with great power.
The fisherman decided to get some rest. Finally he tried to pull the string of his rod again, but he
didn’t see any fish! Instead, he found some wire on the hook. He looked at the wire carefully, he
was so happy. The wire was made of gold. He wanted to get the wire more and more until the
wire covered all area in his boat. Suddenly, there was a voice. “Enough, don’t take the wire
anymore”.
The fisherman ignored the voice. He wanted to take the gold wire as much as he could. He
continued pulling the gold wire. The boat was filled with the gold wire, so that it made the boat
sink to the bottom of the river. When he found out what happened, it was too late. The boat was
completely sunk and the fisherman panicked! Finally, the fisherman swam to the river side. He
regretted his bad behavior. People heard about the fisherman and his wire. Since then people
named the river as Wire River or SungaiKawat.
