Lebai Pak Belalang membelanjakan duit negeri untuk membuka kawasan pembalakan di kawasan perbukitan dan pergunungan negeri. Kawasan ini adalah kawasan tadahan air yang sangat penting untuk mengelakkan banjir
dari menjadi lebih teruk.
Rakyat jelata yang bimbang akan hal ini mengadu kepada Lebai Pak Belalang. Apabila aduan ini sampai kepada Lebai Pak Belalang, dia menjadi marah atas kebodohan rakyat jelata.
Lebai Pak Belalang memanggil rakyat jelata ke perhimpunan di dewan negeri. Dia menayangkan statistik saintifik kadar pertumbuhan tumbuhan dan pokok-pokok di kawasan pembalakan tersebut.
Katanya, tiap-tiap tahun pokok semakin membesar dan menjadi semakin berat. Berat yang bertambah atas bukit-bukit dan pergunungan ini akan menjadi beban kepada bukit dan gunung tersebut. Lama kelamaan jika tidak ditebang,
bukit dan gunung akan runtuh akibat dari berat yang semakin bertambah dan menyebabkan bencana tanah runtuh yang boleh menjahanamkan sungai dan kawasan-kawasan rendah di seluruh negeri.
Tambah Lebai Pak Belalang lagi, pokok-pokok dan daun-daun yang mati boleh menyebabkan kebakaran hutan yang akan mendatangkan bencana yang lagi besar. Lebih baik kawasan tersebut ditebang dan dimajukan bagi mengelakkan risiko kebakaran hutan.
Lebai Pak Belalang menegur rakyat jelata yang tidak percaya akan kepimpinan lebai dan ulamak yang bijaksana. Mereka lebih tahu apa yang bagus untuk kesejahteraan dan keberkatan negeri.
Rakyat jelata yang mendengar ucapan Lebai Pak Belalang berasa malu kerana meragui kebijaksanaan Lebai Pak Belalang. Mereka lupa yang mereka memberi gelaran Lebai kepada Lebai Pak belalang kerana kebijaksanaan dan sifatnya yang alim lagi warak dan yang lebih tahu akan apa yang Tuhan mahukan untuk negeri.
Mereka pun balik dan memberi sepenuh kepercayaan kepada Lebai Pak Belalang untuk membelanja khazanah negeri ikut suka hatinya tanpa kritikan lanjut.

Mother's Day Songs.
I think you should appreciate your mother everyday of the year, or whenever you can or want to, not just one day in May.
Hence, I do not celebrate Mother's Day; but the reason why I decided to post this anyway, is another rabbit hole altogether, which I do not want to torture you with for now.
Having said that, for those of you who still want to celebrate Mother's Day and want to do it with a song; a different song than the standard song from Mamat Exist; here is an international list of songs that appreciate mothers in all circumstances...because let's face it, in the end, you always run back to your mother, no matter what.
Enjoy!
1) For those who think that syurga di bawah telapak kaki Ibu.
"Ada Syurga Di Rumah Mu" by Dafi Ahmad.
2) For those who see love emanating from their mother's eyes, listen to this French song, which I translate as "Sinar Mata Mama"
"Les Yeux de la Mama" by Kendji Girac.
3) For those who was a naughty child and want to express appreciation to their mothers for being patient with them all those years throughout the growing pains, listen to this Russian song. The word "Mama" is so universal, I believe I do not have to translate that for you.
"Mama" by Oleg Gazmanov.
4) For those who want to show appreciation to both their father and mother with metal rock music.
For those of you who are in that rebellious stage but still want to show appreciation without seemingly succumbing to melodramatic, this should also suits you.
"Our Decades in the Sun" by Floor Jansen of Nightwish.
5) For those who had a difficult year, or currently experiencing a hard moment in life, and only have their mothers to pour out their pains, listen to this Dutch song.
(This is such a good rendition of the song that one commenter even said, “I feel destroyed by her voice, in the most beautiful of ways”.)
"Mama" by Floor Jansen (translation here).
6) Finally, for those who just want to say thank you to their mothers.
"Terima Kasih Ibu" by Evan Sanders.
Lyrics:
Pernahku ragu dalam hidup ini,
Hingga tak mampu tuk berdiri,
Namun kau tetap menyemangati,
Memberi arti makna hidup ini.
Pernahku salah menyakitimu,
Hingga membuat kau terluka,
Namun kau tetap memaafkanku,
Sseribu kali maafku untukmu...
Terima kasih Ibu atas cinta yang kau beri,
Maafkan ku tak bisa membalas segalanya,
Hanya laguku ini sebagai tanda maaf kami
Atas dasar cintaku kepadamu
