INDONESIAN LIFE
The Indonesian society consists of rural and urban society. Rural society lives in villages. They usually make
their livings by working in home industries. Home industries are usually small-scale industries, so they don’t
need many workers.
There are many kinds of jobs people can do in cities. Cities are the center of big industries. Most government
offices are also centered in cities. Therefore, most people in the village want to move to cities.
The villagers move to cities in great numbers to get jobs. Some get what they want, but most of them don’t.
They who have skills or good education can become government civil servants or employees of private
enterprises. The unskilled and uneducated can only work in informal sectors, such as, food sellers, porters, and
house servants.
As they are densely populated, the demand for daily needs increases sharply. This condition motivates the
growth of trade and new merchants. Life in city is a competition. It is a hard life. Everyone must work to earn a
living.

One day, a tiger saw the farmer and his buffalo working in the field. The tiger was very surprised to see a big
animal listening to a small animal. The tiger wanted to know more about the big animal and small animal.
After the man went home, the tiger spoke to the buffalo; “you are so big and strong. Why do you do everything
the man tells you?” the buffalo answered;” oh the man is very intelligent”
The tiger asked; “can you tell me how intelligent he is?” “No, I can’t tell you”, said the buffalo;” but you can
ask him”
So the next day the tiger asked to the man;” Can I see your intelligence?” But the man answered;” It is at
