Ada lima orang pemuda sedang menghadiri temuduga. Si penemuduga pula merupakan lelaki Inggeris yang langsung tak faham Bahasa Melayu. Oleh itu, khidmat penterjermah terpaksa diperlukan. Masuk lah lelaki pertama.
L.Inggeris: What’s ur name?
Abu: My name is Abu Bakar bin Ali.
L.Inggeris: What is ur father occupation?
Abu: My father is a wood cutter.
Lelaki Inggeris itu memandang si penterjermah. Penterjermah cepat2 menjawab.
Penterjermah: It’s mean that his father is a carpenter.
L.Inggeris: Ok, U may go now.
Maka keluarlah lelaki pertama tu dan masuklah lelaki kedua.
L.Inggeris: What’s ur name?
Ismail: My name is Ismail bin Ishak.
L.Inggeris: What’s is ur father occupation?
Ismail: He is a meat cutter.
Penterjermah: His father is a butcher.
L.Inggeris: I see. U can go now.
Lelaki kedua keluar kemudian lelaki ketiga pulak masuk.
L.Inggeris: Ur name please?
Dahlan: My name is Dahlan bin Zainuddin.
L.Inggeris: Ur father’s job?
Dahlan: Hair cutter.
Penterjermah: Means that his father is a barber.
L.Inggeris: Ok. U may go.
Keluar lelaki ketiga then lelaki keempat pula masuk.
L.Inggeris:Tell me ur name?
Hafiz: My name is Hafiz bin Hashim.
L.Inggeris: What’s ur father doing?
Hafiz: He is a grass cutter.
Penterjermah: I think he want to say that his father is a gardener.
L.Inggeris: Oh, I see. Ok, U can go.
Kemudian masuklah lelaki terakhir.
L.Inggeris:Tell me what is your name?
Karim: My name is Ahmad Karim bin Ahmad Kassim.
L.Inggeris: What’s is your father occupation?
Karim: My father is a….. ‘pppp’ cutter. ( Teragak-agak nak jawab)
Lelaki Inggeris dan penterjermah berpandangan sesama sendiri. Tak faham agaknya.
L.Inggeris: What did u say?
Karim: I said my father is a ‘pppp” cutter. (Dlm hati, kenapa lah bapak aku pilih pekerjaan yang susah nak disebut)
Penterjermah: Awak cakap lah dalam bahasa Melayu.
Karim: Bapak saya Tok Mudim.
L.Inggeris: What is it mean?
Penterjermah:Oh. His father is a….. ‘pppp’ cutter.
Lelaki Inggeris tu pula dah mula nak bengang.
L.Inggeris: I know the word ‘cutter’, but I don’t understand what’s ‘pppp’ mean?!!…
Penterjermah itu menunjukkan objek yang dipotong dan sekaligus menyebabkan lelaki Inggeris ketakutan dan bangun melarikan diri.
