Question

Kabayan Picking Jackfruit 

Recently, A bah, Kabayan' s father-in-law, often went with Bedu to various gambling places. He often returned home late at night, and if he lost all his money by gambling, or because of whatever other reasons that were not clear to Kabayan and his wife, Iteung, Abah would target his anger on his own wife, Ambu. She would cry at the top of her voice and this made the neighbors come over in a hurry, thinking that there was a fire or burglary.

Meanwhile, Kabayan had just learned from the preacher at the mosque the meaning of the word "ripe" if it was applied to a person. The preacher said that a ripe person was someone who was wise in making decisions that would bring goodness and not lead to a problem.

That morning, Abah ordered Kabayan to pick a jackfruit from a tree, which technically belonged his tightfisted rich neighbor, Ki Silah. Really, this was the same as stealing, but Kabayan was more afraid of his father in-law's anger than of Ki Silah.

So, Kabayan took his machette and climbed up the tree. He chose a ripe fruit carefully, which was also the one which would fall straight into the river below. He chopped the branch which contained the fruit and, just before the fruit fell down, he said to the jackfruit, "Jackfruit, you've got to get home to my father-in-law by yourself because you are already ripe." He did the last chop and the jackfruit fell down and went straight into the river. It went down the river and was gone, lost. Then, Kabayan climbed down the tree and went home.

When he arrived home, Abah asked him about the jackfruit. Kabayan looked surprised. 
"Hasn't it arrived yet?" asked Kabayan. 
"Hasn't what arrived?" asked Abah. 
"The jackfruit. It has left the tree and went home before me," said Kabayan. 
"The jackfruit?" asked a puzzled Abah. "It went home before you? What are you talking about, 
Kabayan?" 
"Yes, the jackfruit, I asked it to go home first and told it not to wait for me," said Kabayan. 
"Kabayan, are you stupid or something? How can a jackfruit go home by itself?" asked Abah.

"I am sure it can, Abah, I am sure it can, because it is already ripe. The preacher at the mosque said that the ripe one knows how to make a wise decision, so since the jackfruit is already ripe, it should know the way home by itself, and would not stray away to gambling places," said Kabayan lightly while strolling to the sofa to get a nap.

Abah was left puzzled because his son-in-law had just made an association between himself and a jackfruit!
