both took shelter under a tree. Pa' Pandir said, " Ma Andih, 

 Ma' Andih, com' gimme 'nana." But Ma' Andih paid no 

 attention to him. After two or three times however she took 

 a banana and smeared it with charcoal and gave it to him. 



Pa' Pandir tore the banana in two and said, " Ma' Andih 

 Ma' Andih, 'is 'nana 'ot not cook' wa' 'appen' ? " 



Ma' Andih replied, " You wanted it in a hurry, so that is 

 how it is like that." 



After that they both went home and stayed there. 



About ten days later Pa' Pandir became very ill and at 

 last died. Ma' Andih wept over Pa' Pandir with varied 

 weepings and went to call the Hajis and Lebais to bury Pa' 

 Pandir. The Hajis and Lebais came, and after having washed 

 the body and held a service they buried him at the head of the 

 rice mortar. For so Pa' Pandir had ordered and Ma' Andih 

 carefully carried out all that he had ordered. After that Ma ; 

 Andih made a feast on the third day and on the seventh day 

 and again on the hundredth day, (so, after Pa' Pandit's death).

Alkesah maka adalah pada masa zaman dahulu kala ada 

 satu oran^ peiempuan bernama Ma' Andih berkhawin d&ngan 

 satu orang laki-laki nama Pa' Pandir, Kemudian beranak sa- 

 orang perempuan, ada-lah kira-kira umornya anam bulan, maka 

 ini Ma' Andih hendak pergi mengambil upah menue, maka di- 

 tinggalkannya ini budak pada Pa' Pandir, maka kata Ma' Andih, 

 " Budak ini tinggal pada Pa' Pandir, tetapi sekarang boleh Pa' 

 Pandir mandikan dengan ayer hangat: biar pesam-pesam kuku." 

 Maka jawab Pa' Pandir, " Baiklah." 



Kemudian sapeninggal Ma' Andih pergi mengambil upah 

 menue itu, maka Pa' Pandir masokkan ayer di-dalam satu kuali 

 besar, maka sudah menggelegak itu ayer, maka di masokkannya 

 budak itu ka-dalam kuali lain mati terjerangin giginya. Maka 

 di-lihat oleh Pa' Pandir gigi budak itu terjerangin katanya, 

 " Suka sangat anak aku ini merasa ayer hangat ini." KSmudian
