Dear Readers,....
Happy Idul fitri day ( one of Moslem day for celebrating fasting month ) Forgive me for every thing (abseness, mistakes , etc )
On this ocation I want to give you a story. It's so funny and I hope your comment after reading it, O.K??
This story happened about 20 years ago when one of my friend Mr. Abi did his job as a teacher in a remote area .This region has different dialects with other areas in West Sumatra Indonesia. It's Muara Labuh District( one of area in West Sumatra )In this place we will find some different dialects and some times we fell strange with the people speaking in that area.
As a new teacher, my friend called Mr. Abi tried hard to be good teacher. He entered the room with smiling, good appearence, good confident, in order to attract the students attention with his material. He looked like success on that period. He was very happy. Although he didn't understand the students and also people nearby speaking, he tried to learn the region language step by step. He did this he want to be thegood society and acceptable. One day he leaved the English classroom to meet some body in the teachers'office. You know the readers ? all students in his classroom were made noisy. It's like the market situation. To see this condition the teacher entered the room and asked some questions such as :
Mr. Abi : Hi, who made noise ha ?
one of te students : Macalino, ( read Makalino ) sir
Mr. Abi ( alittle bit angry) : Macalino ? who is Macalino ?
The student : Yea Macalino sir
Mr. Abi : O.K, now ask Macalino to meet me in the office
The students : O.K sir We will
Mr Abi went to the office and all of the students followed him.This condition made Mr Abi confused. In the office he faced 30 students infront of his table.He asked to the students about why they entered the office room. He asked :
Mr Abi : Hi. why did all of you enter this room ? I just need Macalino
The student : yes sir, these are Macalino, I mean we all made noise in the class room
Mr Abi : ( confused) So... Macalino is not a name of some body, but... Macalino means "all", doesn't it ?
The student : You're right sir... The word "Macalino" means " all or every one did th thing , sir
Mr. Abi : Oh..I see.. sorry I don't understand. ( every body laughed) because so f so funny. after that Mr. Abi was changed his name with Mr. macalino by the students who were called in the office and school society called h him by the new name. He was popular with this name..." Mr. Macalino "
