A Present For Grandfather Story - Foot of Nut HillAs he went along, he thought what a pleasant surprise it would be for Grandfather if he could gather many nuts at Nut Hill. The shells were very, very hard, and after he had eaten the nuts from inside, then Grandfather could use the shells for carving the lovely fingerings that he could make so well. Why, his grandfather’s rings were famous in many villages, and it would be easy to sell them for even fifty rupiahs each. And if he could gather enough nuts for a hundred rings, just think how much money Grandfather could make. Surely he’d be so happy that he wouldn’t be sick any more. Let’s see, Bakri said to himself, if I multiply fifty rupiahs times one hundred rings, how much money is that? He tried counting it all out on his fingers, but somehow he couldn’t get the answer. He was just in the third grade at school, you see. But, anyway, grandfather was sure to be pleased.
Bakri began whistling a happy tune, but then, suddenly, he stopped. Suppose some of the other boys from the village had beat him to Nut Hill and already gathered all the nuts that had fallen to the ground overnight? And he hurried faster and faster.
He arrived at the foot of Nut Hill just as the sun rose over the horizon, painting the sky a beautiful red. He ran and ran, up and up, frightening the flying foxes that were on their way back to their nests to sleep through the day. Reaching the top of the hill, he stopped for breath. He was delighted to see that he was the first boy there; there wasn’t a sign of the others yet.
In the grove of muncang trees, the ground was covered with nuts. There’d been a strong wind the night before, which had knocked down more nuts than usual. Singing merrily to himself, Bakri
