In the past when Faizan sat on a school bench, Faizan skipped mathematics and hid in the library with his friend Mauldi, in a small room at the end of the library. there lay a piece of paper that was outdated and separated from its pages, Faizan also rearranged the paper, in the paper tells about a whale hunter who met a white-bottle whale.

It was told in the Middle Ages, before petroleum was discovered, humans at that time used oil from whales for their daily needs, such as for lighting candles, crude engine fuel, and so on. For this reason the profession of being a whaler was very profitable at the time, even though the stakes were for their own lives or they left their families to be able to go whale oil hunting for months.

Once upon a time, in the whale breeding season between September to the end of January, people crowded going to the sea to hunt, because the mating season is the harvest season for whale hunters. The same goes for Seur Jack's family at age 51, with their five children, Klop hand delpa at age 29, Menisz at age 28, Edwadr at age 25, Stord baes at age 22, and his youngest son Shirz at 19. This family has been a whale hunter since their ancestors.

Long story short after the hunting at the beginning of September and ending in mid-December, the family returned to their hometown with whale oil, around 3000 barrels of oil, the feeling of satisfaction was endlessly felt by the family and also the residents who resided there, but For some reason not the feeling of his own father, he felt his hunting this year was much smaller than last year, making him want to go back to the sea to hunt again, but his desire was opposed by family and residents in his village, his nature was so stubborn and stubborn feeling able to do anything made him determined to hunt again even though this time he himself went to the ocean.

For more than a month he prepared supplies and hunting gear, and during this time his wife and children persuaded the father not to go to sea alone, especially for the first child to fit the delpa hand, who was already annoyed by his father's stubborn attitude and did not listen to the advice of others, fit no longer with his father and let him go alone to the ocean filled with mara bahanya.

One month has passed, two months have passed, until the third month, when the supplies are almost gone, when Seur jack delpa enters the cape of hope, there he sees a herd of orca whales gathering with their children. Happiness was implied in his face, he immediately prepared a spear and rope, the first shot did not hit the whale, as well as the second and third shots, and when the fourth shot, finally the spear directed at the orca whale stuck in the whale's fins, until, suddenly the boat he was hitting hit like something hit, Jack was checking it, and unexpectedly that crashed was a large orca whale full of wounds and white dots around his eyes, jack tried to drive away so that the prey that was obtained was not separated from the plug. spear.

After nearly 20 minutes of wrestling with two whales, finally the disturbing whale left the jack with Jack prey that was weak due to blood that continues to come out. Jack finally got about 250 barrels of whale oil from the 3 whales he found after the first whale he hunted, totaled to 4 whales. Jack was eager to return home with a satisfying catch, but on the way he met again with a large orca with a large white bottle, but this time the whale did not crash into his boat again, only following the jack boat from a distance, even though he wanted to kill him and take oil from the whale, but alas, jack sudak equipment was destroyed by the fourth whale, making him confine his intention to expel or take oil from him.
