In a village lived a wealthy family who had a young boy. He loved to eat candy and all that was sweet. ranging from chewing gum, chocolate, durian flavored candy and all kinds of sweets.
Suddenly, he cried uncontrollably. His mother felt confused.
"Son, why are you crying so loudly?"
"Hu .. hu .. hu ... it's very painful ..." the boy said, sobbing.
"What does it hurt?" asked his mother.
"My tooth" the boy said to his mother.
"Ooo, toothache" replied the mother.
"So do not eat a lot of sweets." Mom suggested.
"Hurry up, go to a dentist." his mother said and gave him 50 thousand rupiah.
The boy went to the dentist when he winced in pain. The boy was still lucky because the distance to the dental clinic was only twenty feet away and the clinic was still open.
Arriving at the destination, he knocked on the door. He knocked door repeatedly but still it had not opened, and until the boy's hand hurt.
After some time the door finally opened. "Hi, what can I help you?" the doctor asked.
"Er.. I have a toothache, how much does it cost to see you, Doc?" he asked.
"Oh it costs only thirty thousand 'said the doctor.
" Oh yes, thank you, Doc for the information. T'm sorry to say good bye now"the boy said.
The boy left the dental clinic and sat under a tree for a moment to think. He calculated that buying candy was much cheaper than the dental treatment. Now he decided to buy candies rather than seeing back to the doctor.
