Rumpey is a mischievous young boy, who later answers Rudey because he was perceived to be rude and stubborn by the elders in his community. He was supposed to be taught lessons from the Richest man in Babylon about avoiding debt by his father, but he regarded his father's speech as a long epistle, so he became impatient, disinterested, hence his buttocks unfriends his seat, then he left the house angrily, avoiding his father's cautions against merry-go-rounding with uncultured village youths. He lived a life of competition always trying to adopt the lifestyles of his friends who smoke and womanise. Rumpey is now a debtor because he wanted to meet up the status level of other young villagers, so he started borrowing money but never paid back. One Saturday morning, a fight broke out on the football Pitch, where Scolobo and other community members fought . Unfortunately Rumpey was unaware, he was the cause of the matter. Scolobo had threatened some guys, if Rumpey was not found for the day and also if he did not pay him his money.
