Legenda Palui 10 [End]

NEW LIFE

10-10

Mr. Time brought me to the next century. It was millennium era. One night, my container was brought by some authorities to the shore, a place where I was found. They wanted the Banjar Tribe to change my coffin from big size to small size.

A container was too big in the museum. But when the Banjar Tribe took me out, I lived again. Of course they surprised. They shook in fright.

Finally, I entered to the Banjar Tribe. My name was changed to be Palui. I started to adapt with Banjar Tribe. I am one of the famous people in the South Kalimantan now. You wonder, are not you? Why I become so well-known? I always write my stories in a column. The column presents in Banjarmasin Post.

Now, you know the reason? Of course! One day, I heard my friend, Krakatau has a child. Its baby was born when its angry because I took a rest on its toe. The baby Krakatau had grown became a child Krakatau. They are sleeping now. I do not know when they will get up and angry like before. I can not fancy if Krakatau angry again.

I wanted to cry if I remembered my father. I spent my days with writing my stories. I wrote about my journey, my experiences, my friends, my family, my job, and other things that I could write. But you can not read my writing now. Just wait. OK, reader! I have to go now. I sleepy now. I can not continue my story again. I finish here. Bye bye.
