[00:08:20]My father is now 75 years old. Well, now he doesn't go to sea anymore. But the children have become stabbers and Father has three sons and four daughters. The first child also didn't go to school.

[00:08:51]Ah, follow your father as a fisherman and become a stabber. The second child also followed his father to become a clerk, the third and youngest child also became a clerk.

[00:09:12]So, Father lived for a long time as father and mother. Mama has been dead for 5 years.

[00:09:26]Now, Father is alone with his children and grandchildren.

[00:09:32]So now the father of three works for you. Ah, they went to sea, Dad. They don't want to tell Dad not to go to sea.

[00:09:50]Mr. Perangan here because I and they see mister they see the views of all the people in Lamelera.

[00:10:01]Because my father worked on a boat from the bottom of Putung to this place called Tanjung Sarabiah.

[00:10:11]So, starting from the past, my father had a job working on a large body boat in Kampaus, there were 12 boats. Hmm. So now you take your hand.

[00:10:31]For example, if a big boat is mistaken as its atamolo, they can mistakenly call it father. Father did not say that he had a share, Father's love does not mean helping others. Tomorrow, father will have children if I am wrong and they are older than me, they can have children, father will have children if I am wrong, they can. Fathers who have children can ask for help from them. so that it can be shown because your heart is open, you are asked to come here, you don't demand your wages.

[00:11:12]show them so that they also know, I also know more and God can keep me alive. Because I'm a big boat, a big body canoe, a small canoe, you also work for me to stab this, I don't take it here and there, here and there, it's for me to eat, but it's all common.

[00:11:56]So the language says that the lamaara people say that all the ilegle eat.

[00:12:03]Whether in the mountains or in Lamalera, or wherever, we all eat. it breaks if it doesn't stick, let's kegel makoro ma'am, this is the same as a flashlight Greetings Ron salamur salam Salamur Cona Torona If the way to fish pi is the same as the bell, it's also the same, it's also dirty, it's the same, if we're on Lun Island, it's important if you use the laj, it's also important, so I'll just follow along to get to the gole gole, if it's also the same, it's the same, Iko. If it's the same, it's the same, Iko.

[00:18:36]If it's the same, the father likes to lolo, so he's angry. Ah, but when I come back tomorrow, yesterday's etiquette is the same, so we'll be polite, maybe obstacles, but still obstacles, the right marimi, what happened to us, right, naf, so for bap nama if the neighbor is the same, if the father is the same, if the father is in the diak, if the same marim rabut, it's the power of marimi tu laka, about lev hari kal, ayahore, natural, tem father, mari, roughly maos, luku, or k, want, maud, ni, who is content to be lus, so, if we are, we are also bad. the day after tomorrow, Meli must come on Monday. From the east also came, from the west also came, ee from the north also came.

[00:24:20]So that we can see or bodies can see that they can come to us to hunt, to stab, and to live.

[00:24:34]Ah, so bring him have that heart love enter in that. It said he had a place where the house was lit. The head was lit with candles.

[00:24:46]We will pray. After the prayer is finished, Mr. backing water will wash it off. What do we have here?

[00:24:56]Our mouths have our deeds.

[00:24:59]Well, this is our forgiveness we have this mistake so that starting Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, Lord, then Father said, "Lord, may it be so help us.

[00:25:59]Today the soul of the youth of God is like a time bathed in light.

[00:26:11]Today my life is by the grace of my faithfulness to God because of the abundance of love you often stumble and fall waste the road for the safety of the word.

[00:26:39]Crown in heaven Jesus prepare Father I am sinful I am sinful I am sinful and my fellow men and to all my brothers and sisters may God look and pay attention to us all Христе Христе Ratula DP ratula DP indeed lefut J indeed e indeed worship special lord bode tu bod invite to worship lord Allah yes so it's not fato yes so it's just that the attitude of respect yes the attitude of respect towards alak which rah blola from raun toh yes.

[00:28:58]So the attitude from the first e who was a pagan until nak became a baptism to become a good Christian. Well, finally the mass itself mass yes. So that teaches mauk-bahag to believe in the crowd to believe in God Allah.

[00:29:29]Finally now Tit tepu eh worship you lur to the Catholic church in the past Our parents have parents, our fathers, our grandparents said their religion was old. Hmm. In our language, we say old means there is no religion.

[00:30:44]So they don't pray like us, the elders, in the past. Our ancestors, they just thought, saying to the sea, school wasn't that back then. So when they go to the sea if there are no fish, they come to worship only stones. Well, just stones. If they worship stones and chicken eggs, they break them and put them there. H, the stone said, the stone is the Lord God who made H.

[00:31:29]So, let us go home empty-handed.

[00:31:32]Well, if they see today, we will be chased. Well, if our fate is one boat that is stabbed, we can, they can ask for help from us, a boat or 10 boats, we can help them, or we can do a little bit, we can share and for us, we just have a life. Hm.

[00:31:57]So, we just think of the fish, saying the whale is the God who gave us and we have the souls who have died at sea Or if they die on land, they will be closer, just like we think they are closer to God.

[00:32:17]So we can say to ourselves, "Ah, you are closer.

[00:32:26]Try asking God for help. Say, today is the day we can catch a stingray or a whale in our hearts.

[00:32:37]And like on Sundays we pray or ask for Father to have a wife or Father to have a grandmother or Father to have a father. we ask for mass at the church, yes, we are at PPS. It's difficult because we also have difficulty not going up to us. Marina, if we start to have a cellphone, it's difficult because of the diato furono No.

[00:33:59]Do you want to hang gu because rer who mengal for our rongkos because I want to preserve the culture in Pamelera happy why because kri Rongkos we go to school to hide home. So, when Dad came home from the sea that evening we ate together with Mom and Dad. Mom told Dad that he was hiding earlier. He didn't go to school even though his friends said he wasn't at school.

[00:34:54]So in the end our father ate all of our advice. Do n't go with me to work at sea, it's the hardest thing, we have daddy who says it's the hardest, it's better for you to work in the shade like a teacher, so I'll arrange for you to be someone who doesn't go with the teacher to the staff so that you sit in this teju.

[00:35:35]Dry in the cold sun. If not waves waves waves not but wind waves.

[00:35:44]So it works too.

[00:35:48]So if you don't want to go to school diligently, it's better to point B to Mr. Bin, that point to the paddle.

[00:46:18]But I thought you said you had kids. I have grandchildren, I think so. Maybe tomorrow Father will die, Father just thought and they thought that the other day I had Father's message or education, we said we have to work, work with him, he said, could Father die, there is an heirloom, heirloom or not, ivory or what kind of treasure, so Father has work, that's a living, H boat and for a moment they are happy.

[00:46:59]Father is dead, mother is also dead.

[00:47:05]They also show thanks by saying father.

[00:47:09]Their regret is that if Father is dead, they say Father is dead, but I already know everything. I feel sorry for my father. When can I see him?

[00:47:23]My father is just a child and I only have grandchildren.

[00:47:30]And thoughts say what you have, that's all you think.

[00:47:52]Children also think that work means eating.

[00:47:56]Don't come like this, father will sleep happily. Maybe tomorrow God will call you, God will call you and you will be happy if you die.

[00:48:15]It means that Father is to release the most beautiful treasure for us and tomorrow we are also like our parents, we have children who can also know that it is wrong if he is pleased with pi tat, he is pleased only to be given at if he gets it, he gets it, share it, share it, if he gets fish, share it, fire because telo ah, so he gets it about munjo Chrome chrome chrome mar HP sir, listen to this in com so he becomes a colleague so he supports where B papi starts to get careless K smells good so he gets back again Yeah.
