Kabut means "slimy" in Indonesian, and sutra means "thread," so the title of the post is translated as "Slimy Thread." It's a funny story about an old man who returns to his village after living abroad for many years. He introduces his son to kabut sustra-men, or slimy thread worms, which he then offers freely to all of the villagers. They are quite surprised at first, but they quickly embrace it as their new favorite food. The author goes on to explain how people had little choice but to accept this unusual surprise dinner because all of their crops dried up due to droughts and periods of rain. They soon grew accustomed to the slimy worms, and even began to enjoy them. It is then revealed that, in actuality, the slimy thread worms were in fact threadworms (or "caterpillar") which were chewed up in the process of preparing kabut sutra-men. The author claims that children in Indonesia are given slimy threadworms to eat as a treat, because it supposedly has very little flavor. The slimy threadworms are actually noodles made by boiling up caterpillars. The slime is a secret ingredient normally mixed into all of their dishes, which they hope will make people think they're eating something "natural". The hero of this story, or personification of the slimy threadworms, is named "Aliwat"(later changed to "Aliwat Oetomo"). Aliwat was first introduced as a village kleptomaniac who stole food from other people. He has since proven to be helpful around the house and in his profession as a farmer. A writer named Timbul came back to his hometown after several years of studying abroad, and tried to introduce new farming techniques, including smart technology. The people didn't like them at first because they lost their local tradition. They became angry at him for trying to overshadow them with his knowledge about modern technology. As a result, Timbul leaves the town. Timbul returns one day with his son, who is an expert in farming technology. He will bring advancement back to the village. At first, the villagers are angry at him. They don't want to change their lifestyle. After they try his new ideas for themselves, they begin to understand that what Timbul has is something good for them. The villain of this story is called "Museum." This man also went abroad after many years in the village, but he hasn't returned yet. His son, Justus, has become a doctor and goes to the same medical school as Timbul. He wants to bring modern medicine back to the village. The Museum's story is told mostly in flashbacks through the descriptive voice of Timbul's son, who is just a child at this point. When he returns to the village after many years away, he finds that his father hasn't come back yet either. He isn't sure what happened to them or what has become of them. Justus hopes that his dad and brother are okay and can be found by Timbul's party when they arrive. eccc085e13
