Page 8 - The Farmer and Sedudo by Wahyu Istiqomah

The farmer hastily met the village elders who lived in remote
villages. According to him, the village elders know the problem best
because he knows the ins and outs of the village. After arriving at the
village elder's house, "What should I do to thank God?" asked the
farmer. "Why do you want to do something? Isn't praying and saying
thank you not enough? “replied the village elder. The stubborn farmer
forced the village elders to give him a solution "please tell me
something, it is never enough if I just pray," forced the farmer. The
village elder replied that he had to do a ritual bath under the sedudo
waterfall.

Petani dengan tergesa-gesa menemui sesepuh desa yang
tinggal di pelosok desa. Menurutnya sesepuh desa paling tahu masalah
ini karena dia kenal seluk beluk desa. Setelah sampai dirumah sesepuh
desa, “Apa yang harus kulakukan untuk berterima kasih kepada
Tuhan?” tanya si petani. “Mengapa kau ingin melakukan sesuatu?
Bukankah sholat dan ucapkan rasa terima kasih tidak cukup?” jawab
sesepuh desa. Si petani yag keras kepala memaksa sesepuh desa untuk
memberinya solusi “tolong katakanlah sesuatu padaku, rsanya tidak
pernah cukup jika aku hanya berdoa,” paksa petani. Sang sesepuh
desa menjawab bahwa dia harus melakukan ritual mandi dibawah air
terjun sedudo.
