The father who again santuy toy hape in the living room rushed to the origin of the sound.

Dad shrug. "Where do I know Bun?"

"Kan Semalem father who ate the last," said Mother.

"Of course, I put the song in its place. Is it possible in the dishwasher?"

I just kept quiet in confusion.

They don't know, Adela their daughter overheard a conversation her two parents had in the next room. "The centong is gone again? Who took it? I have to tell Kevin, "his inner self.

While her two parents were still continuing the conversation, Adela rushed forward, in her way the younger brother Kevin had been playing in front.

It looks like Kevin is engrossed in playing soil mixed with water in print with a small plastic container.

"Sstt Kevin.." call Adela to her sister slowly. Kevin looked, "What?"

He smiled, and then Kevin put him in his arms. They were busy going around the house looking for rice. But baby, even though it was dismantled there, unload here, the rice coils still do not meet.

Mother invited them both to the market.

"Buy some snacks, Bun?" Ask Adela.

"Hole dedek mok jajan!" Shouted sister.

"Huss. jajan continues, to the market still to buy centongs," replied the mother.

Kevin scowled because he didn't buy snacks. Mother who saw her son was disappointed immediately said, "Yes yes, nti go home to buy snacks."

That night I took them out to dinner. Just got windfall he said. Alangka carefree Mbak Dela and Kevin, because after eating around the city to see entertainment, especially before going home they had time to ride odong-odong.

Dad and Mommy did not go to sleep immediately, they were still busy chatting in the living room, while Dela chose to watch TV in the living room.

At half-ten night Mother approached, "Dah malem mbak, bobo' used to yok." Invite Mother.

Adela nodded, the TV turned off, as it passed through the dining room the little girl's eyes curiously looked up at the Rice Cooker, a new plastic barrel on top of it. One idea suddenly flashed through his mind, unconsciously he smiled to himself.

At midnight Adela woke up, actually from earlier she had not slept, she waited until she thought the mother had slept. Slowly he approached his sister. In the shaking of Kevin's body slowly, the brother opened his eyes, his mouth opened like he was about to cry. "Sstt.." whispered her mother while putting her index finger on her lips.

"Wake up. we look for rice coats, nti dedek can not maem.." said mbak Dela very slowly in the ears of his sister.

Actually Kevin does not understand the desire mbaknya, but once heard 'no maem', he was immediately afraid really can not maem, understand the kevin paleng not strong nahan laper.

They both left the room. In the living room, I can see my father sleeping on a chair. Holding his sister, Mbak Dela chose a place in the corner of the room to put a motorbike, from which he can watch the dining room located next to each other.

"Sstt. diem aja. wait here. tuh centong rice.wait us, let's not disappear.." whispered Dela to his sister.

Kevin just nodded. And they sat in a row waiting for something uncertain.

Actually anyway, Mbak Dela tuh want to guess who has taken a rice barrel, so when he saw the new centong was in taru on top of the rice container, he thought to ngawasin the centong.

Sure enough, after a long wait, from the top of the cupboard beside the table where the rice cookeer was, swiftly ran around a small, black creature. Having a tail. Hii rats! Adela was most disgusted with this animal.

While smothering his mouth, he reached over his sister's sleepy shoulders, and when the sister turned, he pointed his index finger at the mouse.

The little animal has now managed to jump on the table, nimble up to the top of the rice container, hupp. mouth bit the handle of the barrel, which happened next so quickly, the creature twisted the body, hupp, go down the table and run towards the closet, peek through the bottom, disappeared along with the centong.

All of that was witnessed by Dela and Kevin tensely. After the thieving rat is no longer seen, then they can breathe a sigh of relief.

In a hurry, Dela invited her sister into the room, and violently shook her mother's body. "Bun wake up Bun! Cepetan Bun wake up!"

Mother woke up in shock, seeing her two children squatting standing next to her she was even more surprised, "Jeez! Dela, Kevin? It's still night, why are you two?"

"The barrel is gone Bun! The centong is gone." said Dela quickly.

"Minot? Who bought that?"

"Yes, Bun, it's missing too" Dela replied

"Ampun!? Why can it disappear? Kemanakan?" Mother said half irritated.

"It's not us that's missing Bun.."

"Ikus. jikus.. hiii. dive. wikus," Kevin spoke.

"Icus? What does the rat mean?" Mother try to ask for an explanation.

Adela nodded quickly. He briefly explained what had just happened.

"Oh, so apparently the bad rat took our centongs from yesterday, that naughty rat right?" Said Mother finished hearing the explanation of her daughter while rubbing Kevin's head gently.

"He uh, joking wits, dedek can not mamam dedek.." said Kevin with a sad look.

Mommy laughed, "Yes that's not the case, if you lose the centong we can take the rice with a spoon first, so the grandpa can still eat."

Kevin glanced at his mom with a frown, because he felt lying about being thick and could not eat. Mbak Dela laughed amusedly at the expression of her sister.

"Yes now we sleep again, tomorrow we crita same father yes, let the rat father later catch."

The next day after the theft of centongs by rats in the story with the father, they were taken to the market. Two things were bought. The first one is the centong, the second the mouse trap.

Dad put the salted fish in a mousetrap, he said so that the mouse was interested and into the trap.

In the middle of the night there was a noise in the dining room, when the whole house woke up they saw the rice pitcher was still intact, but there was something in the rat trap. A small hairy and tailed creature. Centong Thief Mouse! Apparently it was the animal that made a noise trying to get out of the trap.

And since the mouse was caught, the rice cooker Bunda safe never lost again.

Case Completed.
