    The text describes an incident that occurred with a poor man named Lebai long ago in West Sumatra. Lebai was invited to two parties held by rich families in neighboring villages on the same day. He debated which party to attend, considering which village slaughtered more buffalo for the feast and how well he was known in each village. In the end, he decided to go to the nearer northern village first before traveling to the southern village that slaughtered two buffalo. However, along the way he changed his mind and turned his boat toward the southern village instead. When he arrived there, he passed people in boats heading to the northern village, who told him the feast there was already over.

    Many years ago on a bank of a river in West Sumatra, there lived a poor man
    called Lebai. He made a living by teaching people to read. His house laid two big
    villages. One village was to the North and the other was to the South of the river.
    One day two rich families in the two villages were holing a big party at the very
    same time. And both families had invited this poor man.
    On the day of the feast Lebai dressed himself in his best, and made for his boat.
    But before he reached the boat, an idea came to his mind. The north village was
    close by and the food was delicious, but they slaughtered one buffalo only.
    Besides, the people there did not know him very well so that they wouldnt pay
    much respect to him.
    On the contrary, the people in the south village knew him very well, and they
    slaughtered two buffaloes. But it was little farther. For a moment he kept thinking,
    the North or the South. Finally hoping to get three buffalo heads, he decided to go
    to the nearer village first and then go to the south village.
    When he was only half way to the village, why should I go to the North village?
    They only slaughtered one buffalo, he thought.
    Lebai turned his boat and rowed to the other direction, to the South village where
    the family slaughtered two buffaloes.
    When he was about to reach the village, he passed the people in boats rowing to
    the North. Where are you rowing to? they asked. The feast there is over
