A Grandmother and A Grandson

            A long time ago, in the Roti Island. There were a grandmother and her grandson. What had happened with the grandson’s parents, the grandmother did not want to tell the grandson. The grandmother and the grandson have planted some rice on their backyard. However, the rice that planted not too much. But, there was enough food for both of them. But for the other food the grandma had to go to the sea to catch some fishes.

            Every time, the grandma went out to the sea. The grandson was not allowed to go with the grandma. But, one day the grandson could not restrain himself and said to the grandma. “Granny, please.. I Want to go with you, I would like to catch fish too.” But the grandma refused it. “Please, child. Don’t go with me, it’s too dangerous. You should stay at home and cook the rice for us. But remember grandson, take only one grain!.”

            The grandma went away, leaving the boy greatly disappointed. The boy started to think about why he was not allowed to go with grandma. Suddenly, the grandson realized it was getting dark. So, the grandson went to the kitchen and put the rice pot on the fire. Then, he started to think “Only one grain? It’s so funny that Granny thinks like that. How can it be?. Um..no surely not.” Then the grandson took a several handful rice and put it in the pot. He waited outside.

            After 30 minutes, the rice had been cooked. The grandson went to the kitchen and he was so shocked. “Goodness!” He screamed. “What’s happening?” He cried. A steam of the hot porridge flew out from the pot to the floor and went to  the backyard. The grandson called his grandma, “Granny.. where are you?” Then he found his grandma and told her what he had done. The grandma grew angry. She took a big wood and beat him on his head until he was black and blue and growling loudly in pain.

            No matter how much word that said by the grandson to beg forgiveness from his grandma. His grandma did not forgive him and kept beating to teach obedient to him. Suddenly, the grandson vanished and the grandma was so shocked. She searched his grandson. While she was searching for him. There was a sound from the sky “Good Bye Granny.. You are alone now, no one will help you, bye-bye”. After that the grandma was so sad and cried, she also remembered the same thing happened to the grandson’s parent. From that time, the people in the Roti Island never beat their child on their head.
