They shall be the laziest people in the world . They shall be called the Malazy -- the lazy people ; ' and he held up his finger to the Moon and said , ' O Fisherman , here is the Man too lazy to row home . Pull his canoe home with your line , Fisherman . ' ` No , ' said the Man . ` If I am to be lazy all my days , let the Sea work for me twice a day for ever . That will save paddling . ' And the Eldest Magician laughed and said , ` Payah kun ' -LRB- That is right -RRB- . And the Rat of the Moon stopped biting the line ; and the Fisherman let his line down till it touched the Sea , and he pulled the whole deep Sea along , past the Island of Bintang , past Singapore , past Malacca , past Selangor , till the canoe whirled into the mouth of the Perak River again . Kun ? ' said the Fisherman of the Moon . ` Payah kun , ' said the Eldest Magician . ` See now that you pull the Sea twice a day and twice a night for ever , so that the Malazy fishermen may be saved paddling . But be careful not to do it too hard , or I shall make a magic on you as I did to Pau Amma . ' Then they all went up the Perak River and went to bed , Best Beloved . Now listen and attend ! From that day to this the Moon has always pulled the sea up and down and made what we call the tides . Sometimes the Fisher of the Sea pulls a little too hard , and then we get spring tides ; and sometimes he pulls a little too softly , and then we get what are called neap-tides ; but nearly always he is careful , because of the Eldest Magician . And Pau Amma ? You can see when you go to the beach , how all Pau Amma 's babies make little Pusat Taseks for themselves under every stone and bunch of weed on the sands ; you can see them waving their little scissors ; and in some parts of the world they truly live on the dry land and run up the palm trees and eat cocoa-nuts , exactly as the girl-daughter promised . But once a year all Pau Ammas must shake off their hard armour and be soft-to remind them of what the Eldest Magician could do .
And so it is n't fair to kill or hunt Pau Amma 's babies just because old Pau XXXXX was stupidly rude a very long time ago .
