Mat Jenin

This is a story about Mat Jenin who loved to daydream. After he picked fifty coconuts, and while resting comfortably on a coconut palm leaf, Mat Jenin starts to daydream. The money from selling the coconuts will be used to buy twenty chicken eggs, to be sold once hatched for goats and later sell the goats for some cows and a horse.

While riding on the horse he met with a princess and they ride the horse together. While galloping, the horse suddenly stumbles. Mat Jenin opens his eyes and found himself floating in the air on the palm leaf. He makes a safe landing and a neighbor who witnessed the incident said, “Only hard works pays. Daydreaming only brings disaster”.
