The Legend of the Lalihote
Long ago, there lived a humble young man named Lalihote in a remote village of ancient Gorontalo. One
night, Lahilote who lived near a water spring which was the upper stream of a river and made a living by
collecting rattan in a nearby forest dream that was given a piece of such big rattan called “Hutiya Mala”.
The young man sprang up from his sleep upon the surprising dream.
A few days later on his way to the forest, Laholote chanced to glance down the river and see a group of
seven beautiful fairies who were bathing joyfully. The seven beauties left their “selendangs”, the magic
scarves they used as the wings, on the river-bank. Greed soon lured Lahilote to steal and hide one of the
selendangs. As they were aware of the presence of Laholote, the fairies soon stopped bathing and go out
of water and fetched their selendangs. They all flew to the heaven leaving the poor one who cried and
sobbed desperately because she could not find her selendangs. Lahitole approached and comforted her,
then brought her some proposed her to be his wife. The beautiful accepted his proposal and soon they
married.
One day, lahitole told his wife that he had go to the forest to collect rattan. His wife insisted to
accompany him but he did not let her go with him. To keep herself if busy Lahitole’s wife wondered over
the house amd by chance she found her lost selendang kept very carefully in a bamboo tube. She felt very
happy but at the same time very disappointed to know her husband’s unfairness. She soon wear the
selendang and flew away to the heaven leave her husband behind.
Lahilote got home happily because at that time he succeeded in collecting a great deal of rattan. But soon
he got very much disappointed to know that his wife had flown away and the bamboo tube where he had
kept the selendang was empty. At that very difficult moment, suddenly came a wise Polahi (a certain tribe
living in the forest) man who gave him a piece of magic rattan. He told Lahitole that the rattan could
bring him to the heaven. Eventually, Lahilote succeeded to fly to the heaven and meet his beloved wife.
Lahitole was allowed to stay in the heaven.
After some time, when his wife was looking for lice Lahilote’s head, she happened to see some garying
hairs among his. Soon she sprang up and got away from her startled husband. She told him that no one
with graying hair is allowed to stay in heaven. Upon his questions, she told her husband: “Love fades
away when you get a graying because here in heaven you are no more than a shadow as soon as you get a
piece of graying hair.”
Broken-heartedly, Lahilote got down from the heaven making use of a piece of board. He swore: “From
this point of Pohe beach up to the border of the shroud to cover my dead body, my left foot-print will be
printed forever.”
At the moment we can find a stone in the beach of Pohe, in the Province of Gorontalo with a foot-print

Mr. Blackie story
A farmer owned a buffalo which was strong and jet black. He called him “Mr. Blackie”
Mr. Blackie was lazy and the only wanted to eat and do as little work as possible. Every morning, the
farmer rode and his back to his rice fields. Mr. Blackie helped him plough his field. After working for
several hours under the hot sun, the famer returned home at mid-day to take his meal. Mr. Blackie bathed
in his water-hole. Mr. Blackie did not work in the afternoon. The famer allowed him to eat grass. At
night, Mr. Blackie self comfortably in a small stable next to the farmer’s house, with a roof over his head.
Mr. Blackie, however ran away to eat grass, while the farmer was not looking. One day, Mr. Blackie trod
on the tail of a quail which was sitting quietly in its nest in the grass. The quail jumped several feel into
the air.
“Cheh! Why can’t you be more careful? You trod on my tail.”
“I don’t care,” replied Mr. Blackie. “You shouldn’t make your nest in my grass.”
Soon the quail and Mr. Blackie were quarrelling and shouting at each other.
“This is my field,” said the quail.
“But the grass in it belongs to me,” answered Mr. Blackie.
The quail kicked Mr. Blackie in the mouth so hard that all his top teeth fell out. (That is why buffaloes
never have top teeth to this day)
The quail then flew away. But it could not fly very well because its tail had been pulled off by Mr.
Blackie. (That is why quails do not have tails)
Not long afterwards, Mr. Blackie was resting under a tree after a hard morning’s work. It was mid-day
and the farmer had gone home. Suddenly, a wild ox appeared.
Mr. Ox was Mr. Blackie’s old friend. He had run away from his owner.
“Why do you work so hard? Why don’t you run away with me? We shall be able to eat grass and play
together all day. You won’t have to plough rice fields for that silly old farmer.”
“Where can we go?” asked Mr. Blackie.
“Oh, don’t worry about that,” answered Mr Ox, “I know a secret place in the forest where no one can find
us.”
They both ran off together, uphill, downhill, and across stream until they reached a green field hidden
deep in the forest.
The farmer looked for Mr. Blackie everywhere. At last, he saw some hoof marks left by him. He followed
them into the forest. After walking a long way, he saw Mr. Blackie with his friend Mr. Ox eating grass in
a field. Mr. Blackie did not know the farmer was there. The farmer tied a rope with a noose on it across a
path leading from the field and went home. When he turned later in the day, he saw that Mr. Blackie had
been caught in the noose. Mr. Ox ran away as soon as he saw the farmer coming. (That is why there are
still wild oxen in the jungle)
The farmer was very angry with Mr. Blackie, “Is this the way repay my kindness?” he cried. “I’ll tie you
up with rope through you’re your nose so that you won’t be able to run away in future.” (That is why
buffaloes have a hole through their noses)
He had no more trouble with Mr. Blackie after that. Every morning, he rode on Mr. Blackie’s back to his
rice fields. In the afternoon, he tied Mr. Blackie by a rope through his nose to a post in his stable.

One Christmas in 2007, I was joining a final test try out at school. It was held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. One
of my schoolmates, Rini, asked me for accompanying her to the bus stop. When we arrived there,
suddenly the heavy rain fell down from the sky. Rini suggested me to go home soon while she was
entering the bus.
It was still raining when I was home. The rain did not stop and became bigger when the night had come.
People were standing in front of their house, hoping that the flood would not come. In the middle of the
night, I got news that South Purwodadi had been drowned.
The next day, Purwodadi had become a flood area. All activities were paralyzed. No one went for work or
school because the land had been covered by flood. However, I thank God for not allowing the flood
entered my house. Even my house had been changed into an emergency kitchen. It was so crowded there.
I and my father took a walk around the center market and Central Purwodadi. All that we could see was
water and water. At night, the flood looked like a beautiful ocean with the moon light on it. I felt as if was
one of the passengers of Titanic who was sailing on the sea.
Finally, the flood was starting to decreased in the next morning. I and my family cleaned our front yard
together. That was the greatest flood that I had ever experience in my hometown.
