It was a hot Monday morning. Alimin was on his way home from school. As he was feeling hungry,
he took a shortcut through Pak Abu’s house. Upon reaching Pak Abu’s house, he saw a huge mango
tree. It was bearing a lot of ripe juicy mangoes. The mangoes made Alimin’s mouth water. He was
tempted to pick the mangoes.
Alimin put his knapsack down and looked left and right. There was nobody around. Without
much hesitation, Alimin started to climb up the tree. He picked all the big and juicy mangoes. He ate
them to his heart’s content. Then he saw more juicy mangoes at the far end of the branch. He
decided to pick them. He stepped on a weak branch and reached for the mangoes.
All of a sudden, the branch broke. Alimin fell to the ground. He groaned in pain and screamed
for help. Luckily a passer-by heard his scream. He quickly ran to the rescue. He examined Alimin and
told him that his right leg was broken. Taking pity on him, the man took Alimin to the hospital.
Alimin regretted what he had done.
