Written by : Linlin Herlina S.S. 

 Far away in an isolated village, there was a young rich woman. The house that she had living in was very big. Her wealth was plentiful. The young woman lived by herself. She didn’t have any friend at all.
“Wow, I am very rich! Ha …. ha …. ha, I am the richest woman in this village!” said the young woman while she was looking at her gold and jewelries. The young woman was very miserly.
“All of the wealth is mine, isn’t it? So, why should I give to others?” the young woman thought. However, many of villagers were poor. Some villagers were hunger.
Because of the young woman miserly, the villagers called her Bagenda Endit. Bagenda Endit meant the miserly rich person. “Bagenda Endit have mercy on me! My child has not eaten for few days,” said an old woman sadly.
“Hi, you are crazy old woman! Get away from me,” yelled Bagenda Endit. Because of  the old woman didn’t want to go, Bagenda Endit splashed her with water. Splash!, and all over the old woman body and her baby became wet.
Although Bagenda Endit was very miserly, the village people kept coming in. They came for the water wheel. “No, I won’t let you to take away the water from my wheel! The water in the wheel is mine!” Bagenda Endit yelled angrily.
“Ha….ha…ha… you are all stupid! You think you just can take the water from my wheel!”  Bagenda Endit said. Suddenly, a decrepit man was walking tottery to the wheel, holding his stick.
Bagenda Endit saw it. She hit the old man with ponder. “Have mercy on me, Bagenda Endit! I want to take the water just for a drink,” said the old man when he was trying to get up.
Bagenda Endit kept beating the old man. And then, an astonishing thing happened. The old man got up with a healthy body. He walked closer to Bagenda Endit. He pointed his stick on the cruel rich woman’s nose.
“Hi, Bagenda Endit, take the punishment from me!” said the old man loudly. He pointed at the wheel with his stick. Wus….byur, the wheel was sprinkling the water swiftly. The water was flooding up. Bagenda Endit couldn’t save herself. She drew with all of her wealth. Help! …. Help me! ….
Finally, the village was disappeared. It became a wide lake. The lake was named Situ Bagendit.
