Ala, bodoh si Malah ini, tidak mau jadi anak raja?" kata si Samin mencampuri percakapan itu. "Anak raja senang sekali, duitnya banyak, hari-hari makan ayam." Kalau si Samin ini, tak lain daripada memikirkan pengisi perut saja," kata mak si Samin dari balik dinding. Ya, abang ini lakus benal, endak makan ayam saja seperti musang," kata si Ramlah.””
