Translation
Once upon a time, there was a fight among the foods. the fought was caused by the strugle of the power among the plants. After a long conflict, the plants agreed to end up the war and make a peace as well to engage a deliberation o elect a leader for them. A the day of the deliberation all foods like maize, cassava, sweet potatoes, taro and other kinds of food, were all gathered in a yard. However, before the deliberation started, there was a plant promoting himself to be elected for all of the plants that become the source of human's food. This plant is called kolope Bhala Tumbu (gadung). However, other plants did not concern to him.
The deliberation started by giving an opportunity to all the plants to raise their candidates. First of all, cassava wanted to speak out as the first, and he had the chance to say his voice. He directly pointed himself to be elected as the leader and said that other plants were not eligible, by proposing the criterion for being the leaders must www.ccsenet.org/ach Asian Culture and History Vol. 9, No. 2; 2017 86 have a wide leaves, a prickly stem, must have a big seed and fruit, and must have a long beard. therefore, he would be strictly respected by other plants. Yet, his ideas was flatly resonded by other member of the plants, said that physically or body measure are not an ideal criteria for being a leader. No matter how good the phisyc is leader is accepted by his kind heart, he must be open minded, and be humbel to one to another, far from ambition, respecting, loving, caring and have a good relation to other.
All the member of the deliberation agreed. Finally, they seearched for a plant which fullfill all of the criterion mentioned. Paddy was eventually elected, as he was considered a plant with a good heart, down to earh, concern to all of the ideas of the deliberation, by that, cassava was so mad, and mocked to paddy that he had nothing to proud for, he had only a msall stem and easy to break, he had only little fruit like a sand, looked at me, i had all, prickly stem, big fruit, long beard, and wide leaves. looking at this, all the plants were not happy and glanced to each other, feeling no respect from his friends, and once condemed the humans who would eat kolope bhala tumbu would die except they proces and give a good treatment to him, like peeling, cutting, drying, and soaking it into a natural water for 4 days and noights. If human would not do that, once they eat it, they would be poisoned and died. Cassava was also said that sarting from that day he would live alone, and separated from other plants, would grow as a savage plant in the woods and in the farms of human.
The above story recounted a sucesion of a leadership among the plants thrugh a deliberation. Yet, before the sucesion, conflict existed (a long quararel). According to  this situation is a reflection of what hapened to humans' life both in past and future times. Tomas Hobes (Sabine, 1992) stated that in the past time fighting and battling well existed in the middle of humans' life. This condition was called bellum omnium contra omnes (all against all). Those who had a strong power and physisc would dominate other humans or other group of humans. Humans would eat to one to another or this is called by homo homini lupus. According to Nur (2015) as explained in La Galigo that Bugis ethnic before the period of To Manurung as a uniting person, had experienced this similar social conflict which called siandre bale' taue' (attacking to oane others like a fish).
The unstable of political situation eventually brought a collective awareness to make a contract of politic for a capable leader and to protect them from a riots and create a peace and properous community. This phenomen could be also found in the story of Kolope Bhala Tumbu, after a long pogera-gera (conflict) finally, plants lived in peace and agreed to make a contract of politic to create a peace, transparent and fair election through rompuha (deliberation). The deliberation was conducted democratically and humanist, plants freely and openly voicing their odeas and expresions about a character that would be their candidate of the leader (kolaki). Kolope bhala tumbu for example, said that he was a very proper candidate to be a leader. To his opinion, a leader must have a wide leaves, spread to another plant, must have a prickly stem, must have a long beard, and must have a good physic. With those criterion, other plants would obey him. The following is the figure of kolope bhala tumbu (cassava/gadung). Based on the figure above, it shows that kolope bhala tumbu is a plant with the characteristic he had mentioned, having a wide leaves, spreading, having a prickly stem, etc. These atributes became a symbol of kolope bhala tumbu as they could not be found to other type of plants. Because of these superiorities, he was proud to proclaim himself to lead the plants, yet, he was rejected by other plants. This rejection came out due to physic was not the only criterion to appear as a leader. A good leader should have a good heart, a good deeds, and is able to develop a communication and relationship among others, humble, and must have a good intellectual and the most important ones is respecting others. Besides those criterion, the plants agreed that paddy as the one candidate of the leader. In their opinin, paddy had a good personality and down to earth.
In Muna ethnic, the story of kolope bhala tumbu is a conotative reflection that reflected the concept and the style of a leadership. These concept among others are symbolyzed in the plant of kolope bhala tumbu, with the characteristic he had mentioned. In the perseption of Munanese, a leader must have a wide leaves that indicated that a leader must have a good ear to listen to the probles of his people, hence, a leader must be able to spread indicated that a leader is a controler, this symbolyzed in the habit of kolope bhala tumbu to be able to spread to all the plants both small and big plants. This habit is preumde that kolope bhala tumbu tried to be a good leader, a good controler and to get along with naother plant. Following Reynolds thought et al. (2017), the habit of this plant is identically to the typical of a collaborative leader that must be able to control, gudiding, colaborating and geting along to his people. In the perception of muna ethnic, a leader is also a productive ones like kolope bhala tumbu who was able to produce a big seed and fruit. Besides, a leader must be strict with a charm performance and having the superiorities like what kolope bhala tumbu had, long beard, prickly stem, etc.
Contextualitation of conotative meaning in the story of kolope bhala tumbu as described above, strengthening the opinion of Ampera et al. (2006) that a folk story is a part of oral tradition, where his functon is not only as an entertainment, but also as a media of information from number of subjectively colective opinions and impressions on an urgent, and tyical information of a work. Folk story is not functioned as a strory book which could be consume for a leisure time, however, it is as a reflection of an attitude, information, and as the media of transformation of education . Folk story also could be a tool for an institution, to preserve the norms in the society (Nurana, 1991).
The sucetion of a leader as described in the story of Kolope bhala tumbu gave a moral message to all humans to be wiser in making a decision through a deliberation not by a certain descision. The plants thought that the election of kolaki (leader) by rompuha (deliberation) was considered more democratic as it could prevent a conflict among them, and the most important ones was the familial relationship is stable. The final steps of this election was paddy eventually elected as the leader for the plants.
Volunteraly, plants trusted paddy to lead them, therefore harmony and the spirit of equality among the plants could be kept after the election. In the contrary of the election for humans, conflict, riot, and other kinds of danger exist, therefore the difference and segmentation of politic appeared. In the theory of perspective, a sucerion of politic in the story of Kolope Bhala Tumbu supported the thesis of Kuntowijoyo (2002) that politic comes within awareness, not by uncivilized presure. Following the the thought of (Barker, 2006) the sucetion of leadership in the story of Kolope Bhala Tumbu run without any group of hegemony both cultural and ideology. So, there was no side dominating their authority of social and showed a power of subordinating. In other terms of leadesrhip sucetion, the story of Kolope Bhala Tumbu reflected a style of leadership humanist and democratic. (Turi, 2007).
The story of Kolope Bhala Tumbu was also recounted that paddy was honoured as kolakino ghoti (leader of food/plants) as he was considered hving a good character and performance of all. Plants had an opinion that a leader must be strict and feared. To be a strict leader, he must have a good character and deeds, would be able to coorporate, humble, not arrogant, loving, caring, and respecting one to another. Besides, a leader must be open minded and humble. These criterion of paddy in the story of Kolope Bhala Tumbu strengtheing that a good leader is a strict ones (Prihandono, 2003). According to Wita (2006) a strict leader had a personality like having the simplicity, similarities, humble to others, avoiding to plagiating one's attitude, dare to take the failure. Wahjono (2005) stated that a leader must be fair, calm, gentle, strict, a source of life for others, responding, open minded, and brave.
