"dengan apa kau akan membayar utangmu?"tanya saudagar itu dengan sombong.
"I will work, sir. If I have money, I will immediately pay it," said the resident. Evil thoughts emerged in the mind of the merchant. He could use the population to pay high-interest debts.
"Aku akan bekerja,tuan.Jika aku memiliki uang,aku akan langsung membayarnya,"ujar penduduk itu.Munculah pikiran jahat dibenak saudagar itu.Ia bisa memanfaatkan penduduk itu untuk membayar utang dengan bunga yang tinggi.

He ran out of the house. Everyone left the house. But when he knew the merchant was asking for help, the residents immediately entered the house. They locked their homes tightly.
Ia berlari keluar rumah.Semua orang keluar rumah.Namun saat tau saudagar itu yang meminta tolong ,penduduk langsung masuk rumah.Mereka mengunci rumah mereka rapat-rapat.
"Just let the miserly merchant get his reply. He has done evil to us. Now he knows what it's like to be teased," said one resident as he entered the house.
"Biarkan saja saudagar kikir itu mendapat balasannya.Ia sudah berbuat jahat kepada kita.Sekarang dia tahu bagaimana rasanya di jahati,"kata seorang penduduk sambil masuk ke dalam rumah.
