One night, Pak Bong had a terrible dream. An old man came to him and said the rain would never
stop. There would be a great flood. Pak Bong had the same dream in the following nights. He decided to
tell all the villagers about his dream and asked them to evacuate to a hill not far from their village.
Everybody laughed at Pak Bong. “You are joking, Pak Bong. How can we leave our rice fields? We are

save our village, I will jump into the water,” said Nyi Banjarsari. Her parents could not prevent their
daughter from jumping into the water.
