Halaban's hunchback slash turned out to hit the base of the arm of the stool so that fresh blood came out of the scar. The Bangkui felt that the young man he attacked was not careless young people. This young man, who was brave and had invincible magic.Bangkui was silent and did not try to attack again. When he saw that, there arose in Halaban's heart a feeling of remorse for hurting her. However, because he tried to save himself, he was forced to do that. Halaban became very pity to see the stool that retreated slowly and did not block her climb again to take lucky water.When Halaban wanted to continue her journey, strangely suddenly the stool spoke like a human and apologized.“Such a powerful young man, I apologize for blocking your journey and attacking you in a row!” bangkui. Bangkui also asked the purpose and purpose of climbing Halaban.“Young man, if I may know, what exactly is the purpose of you coming to the top of this Bajuin Hill by risking your own life?” ask bangkui.“I'm also sorry, man, for having to hurt you,” said Halaban. Then, Halaban explained her intent and purpose of coming to that place.“I come from a village around the foot of this hill. I was told by my father to take water from the first spring of the highest peak of this hill,” said Halaban. Then, Halaban explained again to that stool.“The water was used to treat high heat and swollen throat diseases that attacked boys. The severity of the disease resulted in the boy could not speak and became mute.Konon, the water that will cure him.”After hearing Halaban's explanation, bangkui said, “Alright, young man, because you have managed to beat me, I let you climb the hilltop.You can take and bring home the lucky water,” said bangkui.“I admire you, young man! You have defeated me. You are also very brave and that no less amazes me to you is your patience facing me,” said bangkui.Still with his admiration for Halaban, benjijuga said, “When I first attacked you, o young man, you must have defeated me, but you won't attack me.”“You also apologized to me when my arm was forced to defend itself, there was no intention of you hurting me. Your heart is very noble young man! Lucky parents who have children like you.”“Remember, young people, we are not wildlife who want to be hostile to humans and do evil to other animals! But, indeed, sometimes it is people who do not want to be friendly with us! Our residence is often damaged.”Halaban was silent listening to the explanation of the bangkui and bangkui telling stories again. “Brave young man, actually I am the leader of a group of animals here.”“You must know, young man, no one has ever dared and defeated me! All who live here are always obedient and submit to me.”“I purposely blocked your journey just to test your courage. However, you are not only brave, but also a patient young man. Your patience is evident with you who do not want to serve my attack.”“You have a noble heart to help others in distress and all that requires sacrifice. Life is the bet,” said bangkui.
