There was an old man who lived at the end of a small village at the foot of the mountains.

The

grandfather’s name is Martono, he doesn’t work and relies on natural resources to survive.

Martono has been without a family since he was sixty years old because his wife died. Their children leave

the city to migrate in search of a better life than the village.

Now Martono is eighty years old and still relies on nature for his life. Until one day Martono saw

something unusual in his favorite forest.

There is some heavy equipment coming in to open new agricultural land. The distance was indeed quite far,

about ten kilometers, but some heavy equipment got lost and had to pass in front of his hut.

Two semesters went on and the land clearing project was under way and finally there was an agricultural

area. Within a short period of time, Martono began to have difficulty getting food.

Squirrels and small animals that usually fall into the trap are now nowhere to be found. Finally, the supply

of meat for Martono’s life became less and made his body weak.

Only two semesters after the land clearing, Martono began to fall ill. His body was no longer able to walk

as far as it used to before clearing the land.

Not long after, Martono finally breathed his last without anyone knowing. Even the villagers only found

out a year later when a landslide occurred in the Martono hut area.

Wagiman is a beggar who usually hangs around the tourist area of the City of Heroes. One day, Wagiman

received a fantastic amount of donations from a rich man.

In all his life Wagiman had never seen that much money. He thought that this would change his life as he

now had an unimaginable amount of money.

Wagiman started buying clothes so that he would look neater in his activities. Homes were also purchased

so that there was no longer any need to avoid raids by the area’s law enforcement units.

It’s like there is no end to shopping for all forms of luxury that the eye has ever seen. One, two, three years

have passed since the time when Wagiman got the money.

Now Wagiman is back on the road to beg, all his wealth gone to splurge. He did not know that the richer a
