This is the story about a guy who is not allowed to hold or touch anything sharp at the kampung anymore. Once upon a time, it was Hari Raya and a guy brought his family to his wife's kampung as he normally do every year. It was very hot that year and it was a day before raya. Everyone was busy cooking the lemang, rendang, kuah kacang and nasi impit. Nearing the breaking fast, the guy's twin daughters wanted the "air kelapa". The guy's wife said that she will plucked some later. Unknown to the wife, the guy went and tried to pluck using a "pengolan" aka "galah". When the wife saw him, she went to supervise and when she saw that the husband managed to pluck a few, she left to finish her own work. It was not long after that when suddenly, one of the twin came crying while yelling "Papa...Papa". Thinking that the husband got knock by a falling coconut and was unconscious, the wife rushed to him. She was so relieved to see the husband standing until she saw blood oozing from his forehead. As she was phobia of blood, she turned around, grab a clean towel and the car key. She went and asked the guy to press the clean towel on the wound and drove him to a clinic. How did it happened still baffled everyone until this day. It seemed that while he was plucking the coconut, a strip of the "buluh" broke and slid on the pengolan straight to his forehead. It wounded him exactly on top of his eyebrow. He was so lucky that it didn't hit the eyes.....the mere thought shivers the wife till today. So that is the story of a guy who is not allowed to hold or touch anything sharp at the kampung anymore.
