"Si Boto" is about a man who in the middle of the night is asked by a young girl to accompany her.
He follows her to a palace-like house. He spends the night there. The next morning he has forgot what happened that night and sees he is lying in a graveyard. Then he realizes the girl was a ghost.
" Nonton Pecun " is about people watching the festival and dragon- boat races by the " Cina Benteng " at Tangerang.
