Naja (Narator) Once upon a time, There lived an man

with his son, Named malin. They were
poor and were living in a forest yield.
Ravi (Dad) Malin, come here and help me carry
these firewoods.
Abimanyu (Malin) Yes dad!
Naja (Narator) Malin helped his father carried the
firewoods back to their home.
Abimanyu (Malin) Dad, How long until we become rich?
Ravi (Dad) I don’t know, We must stay patient and
keep praying to Allah.
Everyone …
Abimanyu (Malin) Dad? I have an idea. Would you let me
go away to change my fortune? Who
knows I will be a rich man.
Ravi (Dad) …
I don’t think that will be a good idea.
Abimanyu (Malin) But dad, if I don’t change my fortune.
When will it last?
Ravi (Dad) …
I don’t know. If you want you can go.
Abimanyu (Malin) OK.
Naja (Narator) The next day…
Abimanyu (Malin) Hey, Dayat!
Al-Hafiz (Dayat) What happened, Malin?
Abimanyu (Malin) I am leaving to change my fortune
today!
Al-Hafiz (Dayat) What? Who will take care of your
father?
Abimanyu (Malin) Well… I wanted to ask you to take care
of him.
Al-Hafiz (Dayat) OK.
Naja (Narator) In the evening, Malin’s dad went to the
harbor to see his son go.
Ravi (Dad) Take care of yourself, and hurry to
come back!
Abimanyu (Malin) Yes dad! Please pray that I will be a
rich man. Stay safe for you and Dayat!
Ravi (Dad) See you later, Malin!
Naja (Narator) Finally, Malin went sailing with a rich
man. In the ship, the captain gave him
a job. He works so hard everyday.
Malin always thinks of the rich mans
daughter. Her name is Ningrum. She is
very beautiful.
Ravi (Dad) Dayat, Where is Malin?
Al-Hafiz (Dayat) Don’t worry, Dad. He will come back.
Naja (Narator) After many years, Malin worked very
hard. He worked so hard he married
Ningrum. After he married Ningrum,
He and His wife wants to go to a
honeymoon
Abimanyu (Malin) My love, Where do you want to go for
your honeymoon?
Naja (Ningrum) Let’s go to… Dante Island!
Abimanyu (Malin) OK.
Naja (Narator) He and His wife goes to Dante Island
for their honeymoon. In Dante Island:
Al-Hafiz (Dayat) …
What is that boat?

Al-Hafiz (Dayat) OMG Malin! It’s so nice to see you
again!
Abimanyu (Malin) Who are you?
Al-Hafiz (Dayat) It’s me, Dayat. Don’t you remember
me?
Abimanyu (Malin) I don’t remember you! Don’t talk to me
poor boy!
Al-Hafiz (Dayat) What happened with you Malin?! Who
