Once upon a time there was a man lived on the bank of the river in Central Sumatra. His house lay between two villages. He was a religious teacher. His name was Lebai. His living was both by teaching people and fishing. He was well-known all over the two villages.
One day, the two rich families in the two villages were giving a big party. Both of them invited him at the same hour of the same day. On the morning of the feast, Lebai is ready to attend the party by his boat. However, a greedy thought struck his mind before he went. He could not decide which village to visit first. It was because the one in the North of the river slaughtered only one buffalo, while the other in the South of the river slaughtered two buffaloes.
As the North was near his house he rowed his boat upstream to the North of the river. On his way he thought that people there did not know him well, so they would not respect him very much. He turned to the downstream. Because he would get much respect in the South, he could get two buffaloes heads. He thought again that they could not cook well. He kept thinking whether he went upstream or downstream. He-turned his boat to the upstream. When he nearly reached the place, he saw some people went back from the party. He turned his boat quickly to the downstream. Unfortunately, when he arrived there, he saw people leaving the house. He spent his time to go upstream and downstream until the feast over, he got nothing.
He felt weak; he managed his boat slowly to reach his house. People had been enjoying delicious food and pleasant day, but for Lebai, the day had ended in a great disappointment. He had unlucky day, so he is called Lebai Malang. Lebai who was unfortunate.

One morning I got up with the feeling that the day was going to be an unlucky one for me. How right it was! I found that it was already 06:15 am.
I rushed into the bedroom. I did not see a piece of soap lying on the floor. I stepped on it and slipped, almost breaking my back in the process.
Then, I went into the dinning room for my breakfast. I gulped down the tea without realizing that it was very hot. It burnt my tongue. I spat it out and could not eat anything because my tongue hurt. I got dressed and rushed to the bus stop. Unfortunately, I just missed the bus. My heart sank and I knew that I would be late for school.
When I reached school, my name was taken down by the teacher. The teacher scolded me for being late. To my humiliation, I was made to stand outside the class. I was so upset by the incidents that I could not study properly. But worse was to come.
After school, I was on my home when something hard hit me on the head. Someone had thrown a bag of fish bones out of the window and it landed on me. I was boiling with rage but could do nothing. However, luckily for me, this only raised a small.
