Kabayan
disliked housework, he was very untidy person who never put things away. When
he had gone to bed,for example, he always left his clothes in a mess on the
floor, his kitchen was a mess too. Eventhough he always left the dirty dishes
in the kitchen and only did the washing up where there wasnot a clean plate to
be found in the house.It was the same with his clothes. He never put them to
wash until there was nothing else to wear. The living room was very dusty.There
was thick dust on every place of furniture and the carpet hadnot been cleaned
for weeks.
One
day when he couldnot find one of his shoes and couldnot see his face in the
bathroom mirror, he decided, it was time to get the house cleaned. So he phoned
his mother and his mother found her sister who would help Kabayan.(In the old
days most people were farmers and liked to have big families. Kabayan had big
families too. They needed help in working on the farm.Many farmers did not have
any machines to help them in their work. They
liked to have big families so that their sons and daughters could help
them on the farm, they could enough food to feed their family.They didn’t need
a lot of money because life was simple then.There weren’t a lot of things to
buy. But life has changed for Kabayan. Kabayan was young. He wanted to get
higher education because there are a lot of university available there. Many
people like to live in the city because all facilities are available there).
His
aunt(sister’s mother) came and worked all day long. She washed and dried all
the clothes.Then she ironed the clothes, folded them neatly and put them away.
She swept all the dust off the floor with a large broom. She took a wet cloth
and wiped the dust off every surface in the house and then polished the
furniture until it was shining. She got out the vacuum cleaner and cleaned all
the carpets. In the kitchen, the floor was filthy. It was too dirty to wash
with a mop. So she got on her hands and knees and scrubbed the dirt off with a
scrubbing brush. Finally she made the bed up and when she had finished the
house looked spotless.
THREE
MONTHS LATER
Kabayan
phoned his mother again. Once again his mother found her sister (kabayan’s
aunt) but she bored her job. She longed for a little excitement. She decided to
play a trick on kabayan’s mother(ambu)
Aunt:
ceu…. Ditempat kost kabayan ada yang menginap, perempuan, bahkan
melahirkan…
Ambu:

Aunt:

saba kota bersama saudara perempuannya yang lebih dahulu sudah mendapat kabar
dari Kabayan). Ambu buru-buru menemui kabayan di tempat kost dan melihat-lihat
seluruh ruangan.
Ambu:……mana……..(ambu
bengong langak-longok)
Kabayan
yang tidak tahu menahu laporan bibinya kepada ambunya langsung saja menunjuk ke
kamar.
Kabayan:…itu

Ambu:

Aunt:
