Because of the young woman miserly, the villagers called her Bagenda Endit. Bagenda Endit meant the miserly rich person. (Namun, banyak penduduk desa yang miskin. Mereka hidup dalam kondisi yang kurang. Terkadang beberapa penduduk desa kelaparan dan tidak mendapatkan makanan selama berhari-hari. Karena wanita muda kikir itu, penduduk desa memanggilnya Bagenda Endit. Bagenda Endit artinya orang kaya yang kikir.)
