Understanding
At the beginning of the story, Budi tells Adhi and Santi that he is going to meet a girl that he has met on Facebook. Why might this be a bad idea?

Never meet anyone you only meet online. You can not be sure it is the same person. It might be dangerous.

Let's have a closer look at this story. Budi had got a new stylish shirt, obtained useful information about Hendro and Fauzi, spent a good time in the cinema with friends, found out that Santi cares about him. Chatting is not dangerous at all. :-)

Hi Denis
You're right to say that chatting isn't bad, The problem is that you never know who you are chatting with. Budi thought he was chatting with a girl and was excited to go on a date with her. In the end, it turned out that it was just Hendro and Fauzi playing a trick on him.
You need to be careful when you meet someone online and it's not a good idea to meet them in real life - they could turn out to be someone much worse than Hendro and Fauzi.

Thank you for your answer. I agree with you. I've got the point of this story. Nevertheless what doesn't kill us makes us stronger ;-) So, as for me, Budi is a winner in this situation.
