When arriving in a new village , he is taken on as an Islamic teacher . In his sermons Saleh , hoping that his students will give him some goods , preaches the importance of charity . He is soon receiving chickens and fish , and has married a local woman . During a meal , Saleh again gives a sermon on charity , but he and his wife fight soon afterwards after she gives some bowls and plates to other women . Saleh 's nature is revealed , and he is again forced to flee . The story was first published in 1938 , in issues 93 and 94 , volume 16 , of Pandji Poestaka .
