In this chapter, the young narrator, freg, tries to find out what's going on at the bottom of a lake. He's not sure if it's a place where the dead are, or if it is actually a place for people who have drowned themselves in the lake. But he's pretty sure that it is. He wants to know why the people who drowned in his lake are still alive, and why they're wandering around in the dark. He tells the narrator that if he were to die, he'd never hear the song of the frog, which is the most beautiful song in his life. But if he did, he wouldn't be able to escape his fate, because the frog would attack him when he finally became an adult frog, even when he was still a tadpole. The narrator tells the story of how the frog lives a life of harsh and cruel, dodging his fate as he slips away from his friends and families. He says that even if the frog turns into an adult, it still has to escape its own fate from the heat of summer and the cold of winter, because it has been blessed by its creator, the creator of the song. The young narrator is happy to hear that Mr. Waluyo is back, and that he can teach him the song that the frog sings. But the song isn't free, he says, and it looks like he'll have to stay at the lake for the rest of his life because he has a job interview the next day. He hopes that the song will help him find a job.
