Abstract
This article is a translation of a short story written in Sundanese which appeared in the West Java press in March 2012. The introduction provides some context to contemporary short story writing in Sundanese and then introduces the story proper and makes observations about language usage. Some brief critical remarks argue for the story's literary merits and make a comparison with the work of A.A. Navis in relation to the depiction of village society in Indonesia today. The annotations draw the attention of the reader to some features of contemporary Sundanese and contextualise references in the story to make it more comprehensible to the reader unfamiliar with West Java.
