The problem of the fishermen continued, less catch each passing day. Farther and farther they fished... They tried to catch at a longer time but still the same. The catch became less and the fishes were smaller.
And so, one night before the fishermen went out to fish they approached Mang Ambo to ask for an advice. They saw him busy repairing and checking his fishishing nets. Even some beg for his advice to no avail. Mang Ambo just told them that it was just luck that he always had a big catch.
As the fishermen were leaving, Mang Ambo was smiling while saying to him self "You are very lucky if I will tell you my secret"...
After finishing a pack of cigarette, off he went fishing. As usual, he went far from the other fishermen and one by one he throw his dynamites. Big fish, small fish were everywhere! Big catch again for Mang Ambo tonight and his secret remains a secret.
Just like the other night, the other fishermen were still out in the sea while Mang Ambo was already heading home. As he was approaching their village, he saw an area engulfed in flames. He started to feel uneasy when he was sure that it was their place which is on fire.
He rushed to their house upon reaching the shore and he heard more explosion. These were coming from the place where he was hiding the dynamites. All the other people were just looking at what was happening and now they knew Mang Ambo's secret.
As he was sitting down with his palms in his face, he remembered the place where he was sitting the night before he left to fish. The cigarette butts which might be still lit could have started th fire. Everything that they had because of his illegal fishing were gone. His only consolation was that his family was on vacation when it happened...
