ONCE upon a time, a grandmother and her granddaughter lived in Roti Island, Nusa

the market.

In one morning, the grandmother would go to the market. Before she left, she asked her
granddaughter to cook.
“Please cook some rice for lunch. But just cook one grain of rice. It’s enough for both of us.”
“Why, Grandma?” asked the girl.
“Just do what I said.”

The grandmother then left for the market. Later, the girl started to cook. However, she felt a
grain of rice would not be enough for them.
“I think it’s enough for me and my grandmother.” Then she took two handfuls of rice.
Suddenly, something bad happened to the rice pot. “Oh, no! The rice flowed out of the pot!”
shouted the girl. “What should I do? The rice became rice porridge. It flowed and flowed
until it covered the kitchen. Suddenly, the grandmother came home. The girl explained what
happened.

“You are naughty girl! Why didn’t you listen to me? The grandmother was so angry. She hit
the girl with a wooden stick.
Please forgive me, Grandma!” The little girl cried and cried. But the grandmother kept

away and climbed a tree. The grandmother chased it. From the tree, the monkey said.

granddaughter!” but it was too late.
