Kisah Satu Ringgit

Last Monday, when I went to pick up Rayyan from school, I noticed he was holding and eating a small packet of french fries that costs RM1 from the school canteen.

I wondered where he got the money to buy the fries since we never gave him duit belanja for school at all. He said that his friend, Hanin gave the money to him so he could buy the fries.

Dah berkali2 dah we told him not to accept any money from people. Apparently this was not the first time that it happened. Ada sekali tu ada this one girl gave him RM1 to buy the "Ice Cool" drink. Pas tu ada lagi orang bagi duit suruh beli benda lain for Rayyan. Muka anak aku ni muka mintak sedekah ke or memang muka murah rezeki? hehehe

Anyways, I bombarded him with questions at school trying to get to the bottom of things. He said that tetiba je Hanin gave him the money to buy the fries.

I just told Ja about it today, asking her to contact Faridah (Hanin's mom). Ja apologized to Faridah that Rayyan used Hanin's money for the fries. Faridah also terkejut. Where did Hanin get the money from? Mak bapak dia pun memang tak bagi duit belanja! Hehehe.. I just got to know that many parents of the Year 1 kids at that school yang memang tak bagi duit belanja kat anak2 diorang... hehe so we are not the only one... hehe

So Faridah went to do her own investigation by asking Hanin. Then she messaged Ja and told her about the money was actually belong to someone else. That girl had 2 50 sen coins and gave it to Hanin. Hanin shared the coins with Rayyan so they can buy something from the canteen. Each of them gets 50 sen. Hanin went to the canteen with her 50 sen to see what she could buy with it... nothing! So she gave the 50 sen to Rayyan so Rayyan gets RM1 just enough to buy the fries...

Ni malam ni, baru je tadi dok tanya Rayyan whose money actually was it. He said it was their classmate, Sofea. So now tomorrow Faridah will give Hanin 50 sen, Ja will give Rayyan 50 sen, and both of the kids will go to Sofea and return her money... hehehe

Itulah ceritanya kisah satu ringgit...... now back to my editing work! Embracing yet another all-nighter :(
