She said no more excuses come with me! she grabbed him and swam down to the bottom of the ocean never to be seen again. The moral of this story is no to greedy. The indonesian stories are different to other countries stories because they seem to be all about being well mannered not being greedy and so on... But the stories in Tassie and Australia they don't really have a meaning.
