Once Upon a Time Lived Two Men Named Bujang Beji and Tumenggung Marubai, Bahasa Inggris Kelas 12 SMA

The Simpang Melawi River region had many types of fish, more than the fish in Simpang Kapuas River

Supporting Idea

Therefore the catch of Tumenggung Marubai was always more than Bujang Beji. Tumenggung Melawi used traps or a kind of large trap to catch fish. Once collected in the trap, he only selected the big fish, while the small fish were released back so that the fish in Simpang Melawi River always bred and never ran out.

Paragraph 3

Main Idea

Seeing the capture of Tumenggung Marubai, Bujang Beji felt envious.

Supporting Idea

He also looked for a way to defeat Tumenggung Melawi. Then, he went the wrong way. He began to catch fish by menuba, which was to poison the fish with tuba, a kind of fish poison from the roots of very intoxicating forest plants. At first, he got a lot of fish, more from the catch of Tumenggung Marubai. However, because the method used was to kill the fish with poison, over time the fish in Simpang Kapuas became greatly reduced. Meanwhile, Tumenggung Marubai still got a lot of catches. This made Bujang Beji even more jealous.

Paragraph 4

Main Idea

Bujang Beji meant to use the top of Batu Hill in Nanga Silat, Kapuas Hulu to block the Melawi River.

Supporting Idea

With his magic, he cut the top of Batu Hill and brought it with seven leaves of weeds. While carrying the stone hill, he suddenly heard the sound of girls laughing at him. They were the goddesses of the heavenly realm. When he reached the intersection between Kapuas and Malawi, Bujang Beji looked up to see who was laughing at him. Inadvertently, his foot stepped on the poisonous thorn until he jumped up and screamed in pain. As a result, seven sheets of weed leaves he was wearing were cut off. The top of the rock hill also fell into a river called jetak.
