Many people like to live in a city although it is often very crowded. There are many jobs available. Therefore, it is easier to plan for living. There are also more opportunities for education and recreation. If people are sick, there is always a hospital or a clinic nearby.
There are markets, supermarkets or department stores that people can choose to go shopping. In addition, all means of transportation are available. People can go y bus, taxi, train or plain.
For these reasons people prefer living in a village to a city. A village is not very crowded and noisy. People do not have to go to school for a long period of time. They go to Elementary School just to be able to read and write. This is enough for them to survive. They do not care much about time. Today and tomorrow are just the same for them. Living naturally like this is enjoyable for them.
However, they want to improve their lives. They move to big cities to start a new life. Of course, some of them are successful, but many of them are not. For those who are not successful living in a big city like Jakarta is really terrible. They are jobless and homeless because they do not have skills needed in urban areas. They live in the slums of the city.

A Fox and A Goat
A fox fell into a well and couldn’t get out. By and by a thirsty goat came
along. Seeing the fox in the well it asked if the water was good. “Good”, said
the fox. “It’s the best water I’ve tasted in all my life. Come down and try it
yourself. “The goat thought of nothing but how thirsty he was. So he jumped
into the well. When he had drunk enough he looked around but there was no way
to get out. Then the fox said, “I have a good idea. You stand on your hind legs
and put your forelegs against the side of the well. Then I’ll climb on your
back, from there I’ll step on your horns, and I can get out. And when I’m out
I’ll help you out of the well.” The goat did as he was asked and the fox got on
his back and so out of the well. Then he coolly walked away. The goat called
out loudly after him out. The fox merely turned to him and said, “If you
only has as much sense in your head as you have hairs in your beard you
wouldn’t have jumped into the well without making sure that you could get
out again.
