Terlahir Sebagai Pejuang, Petarung & Ksatria

Pernahkah nonton film Transformers seri The Last Knight? Kalo sobat semua demen sama film robot yang satu ini, pastilah tahu Optimus Prime, yapz pimpinan Autobots. Dia juga seorang prajurit robot yang merubapakan wujud perubahan dari truk besar (tronton), dengan spesialisnya sebagai leader, tokoh Optimus Prime juga sering menjadi pusat cerita bahkan penentu kemenangan di setiap sekuel film Transformers. Dalam seri The Last Knight, ia sendiri diawal adegan berperan jahat karena terpengaruh oleh kekuatan iblis. Disihir oleh Quintessa sehingga Optimus melawan kawan-kawannya sendiri semisal bumble bee dan lainnya, sebaliknya ia justru bersekongkol dengan Megatron. Pengaruh kekuatan jahat itulah yang mengancam bumi hingga ia bisa kembali disadarkan oleh Bumble Bee.
Kejahatan melawan kebaikan, merupakan tema inti dari film ini, untuk mewujudkan kemenangan dibutuhkan kawan sejati guna saling mengingatkan & menasehati tatkala diri kita menyimpang. Bahkan ketika tiba-tiba kita berada di barisan musuh, maka bisa jadi kawan tersebut bisa menyadarkan kita sehingga kembali kedalam barisan orang-orang yang baik. Pengorbanan dan mengesampingkan ego pribadi juga menempati posisi penting tatkala halangan dan masalah datang silih berganti. Tanpa pengorbanan maka tidak akan ada kemenangan. Dengan karakter pejuang, sikap seorang ksatria yang gagah berani pantang mundur ke belakang apalagi melarikan diri dari medan pertempuran. Menjaga diri dari sikap pengecut dan lari dari masalah. Bila tak mampu menghadapi musuh sendirian maka tentunya kita membutuhkan teman, yaitu rekan satu tim yang akan mendukung sekaligus menguatkan. Solusi dari masalah belum tentu dapat langsung ditemukan, karena dalam menyelesaikan masalah membutuhkan waktu & proses. Penghindaran dan ketakutan tidak menyelesaikan apapun, justru membuat masalah tersebut semakin membesar.
Transformers: The Last Knight ini sebetulnya menurut imdb dan beberapa kritikus film lainnya kurang sukses dibandingkan sekuel transformers sebelum-sebelumnya. Skor dari Imdb memberikan poin 5.2 untuk film Transformers seri ini. Penggunaan efek animasi komputer yang bagus belum serta merta mengangkat penilaian secara keseluruhan. Alur cerita yang terlalu fiktif dan kurang realistis, memang genre film ini fiksi ilmiah (sci-fi), atau dengan adanya adegan/peristiwa menjelang tabrakan antara planet Cybertron dengan bumi hal ini lebih fiksi lagi, sebetulnya cybertron ini membutuhkan energi bumi untuk menghidupkan kembali planet tersebut.
Satu Kesempatan Bisa merubah Segalanya
Ketika datang kesempatan pada kita berupa waktu, tenaga bahkan harta maka jangan disia-siakan. Peluang tersebut harus diambil, memang kita harus mengambil keputusan antara mengambil kesempatan atau membiarkannya lewat begitu saja. Dengan sikap arif dan bijak maka mengoptimalkan kesempatan yang ada akan mengubah masa depan kita. Dengan dukungan tenaga, harta/ materi serta waktu (usia) yang dimiliki maka segalanya bisa berubah menjadi lebih baik. Yang disebutkan lebih baik disini adalah kondisi sekarang dibandingkan sebelumnya, dan kondisi esok dibanding saat ini. Jika hari ini kita hanya tidur-tiduran saja mana mungkin esok akan lebih baik, karena hanya dengan tidur tanpa melakukan kreativitas dan produksi maka tidak akan bisa menghasilkan hal yang bermanfaat apalagi layak jual.
Usaha perlu dikerjakan dengan sungguh-sungguh, perencanaan matang dari plan A sampai plan B, kalau perlu tambahkan plan C. Jadi kesiapan sudah dimiliki jika ternyata plan A belum berhasil.
Lakukanlah sekarang atau tidak sama sekali. Ini benar, karena hari esok belum pasti kita raih karena yang ada adalah masa sekarang yang sedang kita hadapi, so sekaranglah waktu yang tepat untuk mengambil kesempatan dan membuatnya menjadi kesuksesan. Sehingga perlu dicatat bahwa komitmen perubahan itu harus dijaga benar-benar, sekuat tenaga, bila perlu taruhannya adalah nyawa kita. Jangan pernah mengkhianati komitmenmu sendiri, jangan pernah membelakangi temanmu, jangan pernah mendustai kawan-kawan yang mempercayai kita. Karena kawan kita inilah regu, tim, partner yang mengisi kekurangan yang belum mampu kita penuhi. Saling mengisi satu sama lain, semangat & menyemangati itu sungguh penting.
Agar Hidupmu bermakna Maka Beramal & Berkarya
Keberadaanmu di dunia harus ada maknanya, keberadaan dirimu dalam tim juga harus ada fungsinya sehingga berilah kontribusi yang nyata, sumbangsih sesuai peran & kemampuanmu. Manifestasi sumbangsih itu adalah karya dan amal, siapa tahu sumbangsih kitalah yang nantinya membantu memperberat timbangan kebaikan di yaumul mizan kelak. Jika tugas dan peran tidak dilaksanakan dengan sebaik-baiknya maka kepincangan tim menjadi-jadi. Dan itu bukan berita bagus karena musuh pasti dengan mudah mengalahkan dan menghancurkan kita.
Manusia sendiri memiliki musuh abadi yaitu syetan (syaitan), merekalah yang menggoda manusia agar umat manusia terjerumus kedalam kejahatan dan bergelimang dosa. Yang pada akhirnya tempat kembali yang pantas adalah neraka. Yang bisa terhindar adalah hamba Allah swt yang muttaqin, yang memiliki keteguhan, keyakinan, ketaatan yang tinggi pada Allah swt. Memohon PertolongaNya danRidhoNya. Jika masih lemah melawan diri sendiri, apakah sudah siap menangkal tipu daya syetan? Masih mampu bersaing dalam kebaikan & prestasi?
Dalam tim terdapat pemimpin, nah seorang pemimpin ini yang mengarahkan anggota lainnya agar tetap fokus pada misi. Semangat pemimpin harus terus berkobar sehingga mampu membakar semangat anak buahnya. Di film Transformers: The Last Knight posisi pemimpin yakni Optimus Prime sangat dibantu sekali oleh tokoh Bumble Bee, Cade, Viviane, Tn. Folgan, dsb. Khusus Cade dan Viviane ini, mereka berdualah yang nantinya memiliki peran kunci sebagai ksatria terakhir yang disebutkan dalam film. Viviane berhasil mencabut tongkat milik Quintessa yang dijadikan pusat penyalur energi dari bumi ke Cybertron. Dengan berhasil dicabutnya tongkat tersebut maka kekuatan Quintessa dan planet Cybertron mampu ditangkal oleh Optimus Prime beserta kawan-kawan Autobotsnya.

Alur ceritanya masih seputar fiksi keberadaan robot-robot yang datang ke bumi, persahabatan & kerjasama antara Autobots dengan manusia di Bumi, serta proses pertarungan antara kekuatan kebaikan dan kejahatan.

    Again, she could not hear them well. It was repeated again and again. The golog stone was getting taller and taller and finally it reached the clouds. The children could not be seen it anymore.

    When the mother finished pounding the rice, she was shocked! She could not find her children. She was crying. She then prayed to God.

    Once upon a time, there were two close friends who were walking through the forest together. They knew that anything dangerous can happen any time in the forest. So they promised each other that they would always be together in any case of danger.
    Suddenly, they saw a large bear getting closer toward them. One of them climbed a nearby tree at once. But unfortunately the other one did not know how to climb up the tree. So being led by his common sense, he lay down on the ground breathless and pretended to be a dead man.
    The bear came near the one who was lying on the ground. It smelt in his ears, and slowly left the place because the bears do not want to touch the dead creatures. After that, the friend on the tree came down and asked his friend that was on the ground, "Friend, what did the bear whisper into your ears?" The other friend replied, "Just now the bear advised me not to believe a false friend."
    Moral of the Story- A true friend in need is a friend indeed.
    Teman sejati
    Suatu hari di masa lau, ada dua teman dekat yang berjalan melewati hutan bersama-sama. Mereka tahu bahwa sesuatu yang berbahaya dapat terjadi setiap saat di hutan. Jadi mereka saling berjanji bahwa mereka akan selalu bersama-sama dalam keadaan bahaya sekalipun.
    Tiba-tiba, mereka melihat beruang besar sedang semakin mendekat ke arah mereka. Salah satu dari mereka memanjat pohon terdekat seketika. Tetapi sayangnya satu yang lainnya tidak tahu bagaimana cara untuk memanjat pohon. Jadi terdorong oleh akal sehatnya, ia berbaring di tanah, menahan napas, dan berpura-pura menjadi orang yang sudah mati.
    Beruang itu datang mendekati orang yang sedang berbaring di tanah tersebut. Mencium di telinganya, dan perlahan-lahan meninggalkan tempat karena beruang tidak ingin menyentuh makhluk yang sudah mati. Setelah itu, teman di pohon turun dan bertanya ke pada temannya yang berbaring di tanah itu, " Teman , apa yang beruang bisikan ke telingamu ? " Teman lain menjawab, "Tadi beruang itu menyarankan saya untuk tidak mempercayai teman palsu."
    Pesan Moral dari cerita-
    Seorang teman sejati yang kita butuhkan adalah teman yang sebenarnya
    One day a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who was a conceited creature, boasted how clever she was. 'Why, I know at least a hundred tricks to get away from our mutual enemies, the dogs,' she said.
    'I know only one trick to get away from dogs,' said the cat. 'You should teach me some of yours!'
    'Well, maybe some day, when I have the time, I may teach you a few of the simpler ones,' replied the fox airily.
    Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance. The barking grew louder and louder - the dogs were coming in their direction! At once the cat ran to the nearest tree and climbed into its branches, well out of reach of any dog. 'This is the trick I told you about, the only one I know,' said the cat. 'Which one of your hundred tricks are you going to use?'
    The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use. Before she could make up her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the fox and tore her to pieces.
    Moral : A single plan that works is better than a hundred doubtful plans.
    Suatu hari kucing dan rubah sedang bercakap-cakap. Rubah, yang adalah makhluk sombong, membual tentang betapa pintarnya dia. "Kenapa, aku tahu setidaknya seratus trik untuk menjauh dari musuh kita bersama, anjing," katanya.
    "Saya hanya tahu satu trik untuk menjauh dari anjing," kata kucing. "Kamu harus mengajariku beberapa trik mu!"
    "Yah, mungkin suatu hari, ketika saya punya waktu, saya mungkin mengajarkan kamu beberapa trik yang sederhana," jawab rubah ringan.

    The Ant and the Dove
    One hot day, an ant was seeking for some water. After walking around for a moment, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell unintentionally into the water.

    She could have sunk if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her. Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly put off a leaf from a tree and dropped it immediately into the water near the struggling ant. Then the ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up there. Soon it carried her safely to dry ground.

    Not long after at that, there was a hunter nearby who was throwing out his net towards the dove, hoping to trap it in this way.

    Guessing what he should do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter dropped his net and the dove flew away quickly from this net.

We are hungry” The mouse deer just smiled and replied. “Sorry, Crocodiles, not today, I come to you to bring an invitation from the king. You are invited to the party. The king ordered me to count all crocodiles in this river so he knew how to prepare enough meal for you.”All the crocodiles felt happy and said “Really…? Tell us what to do,” said a crocodile. “You have to line up from this side of the river to the other side,” said the mouse deer. Not long after that the crocodile got all his friends and family.

    Once upon a time there was a farmer who owned a little dog that he keeps constantly by his side and a donkey, which lived in a warm stable and got plenty of fresh grain and sweet hay. But, unfortunately the donkey was not satisfied with his condition.
    "I slave all day long, hauling wood or pulling the cart to market while the dog sleeps on the master's lap and eats from his plate!," the donkey grumbled. "Perhaps, he thought, if he behaved like the dog, his master would reward him with the same life of ease.
    That very night, the donkey crept out of the stable and into the house where the farmer sat at supper. "First I'll frisk about and chase my tail, just as the dog does," thought the donkey. And he danced about the room, flinging up his hooves until the table toppled over and dishes went flying.
    "Now I'll sit on his lap!" said the donkey, and he put his hooves up on the master's chair.
    "Help! Save me from this mad beast!" the terrified farmer bellowed. Then his servants came running and, with shouts and blows, drove the donkey back to the stable.

"Mungkin, pikirnya, jika ia berperilaku seperti anjing, tuannya akan membalasnya dengan kehidupan dengan kemudahan yang sama.
    Malam itu, keledai merayap keluar dari kandang dan menuju ke rumah di mana petani duduk di perjamuan. "Pertama saya akan bergerak lincah di sekitarnya dan menggerakkan ekor saya, seperti yang anjing lakukan," pikir keledai. Dan ia menari disekekliling ruangan, menghempas-hempaskan kakinya sampai meja terguling dan piring beterbangan.
    "Sekarang saya akan duduk di pangkuannya!" kata keledai, dan dia meletakkan kaiknya di kursi tuannya.
    "Tolong! Selamatkan aku dari binatang gila ini!" teriak petani ketakutan. Pembantunya kemudian berlarian dan, dengan teriakan dan pukulan, menggiring keledai kembali ke kandang.

    At the time, the monkey was in dangerous situation and he had to think hard. Then he had a good idea. He told the crocodile to swim back to the river bank. “What’s for?” asked the crocodile. “Because I don’t bring my heart,” said the monkey. “I left it under a tree, near some coconuts in the river bank.”

    The crocodile agreed and turned around. He swam back to the bank of the river. As soon as they reached the river bank, the monkey jumped off the crocodile’s back. Then he climbed up to the top of a tree.

The huge grey duckling splashed and paddled about just as nicely as the other ducklings did. “That is not a turkey chick. He is my very own son and quite handsome” the mother said proudly. However, the other animals didn’t agree. They hissed and made fun of him day by day. Even his own sisters and brothers were very unkind. “You are very ugly” they quacked. The little poor duckling was very unhappy. “I wish I looked like them” he thought to himself. One day, the ugly duckling run away and hid in the bushes. The sad duckling lived alone through the cold and snow winter.

    Finally the spring flowers began to bloom. While he was swimming in the pond, he saw three large white swans swimming toward him. “Oh, dear. these beautiful birds will laugh and peck me too” he said to himself. But the swans did not attack him. Instead, they swam around him and stroked him with their bills. As the ugly duckling bent his neck to speak to them, he saw his reflection in the water. He could not believe his eyes. “I am not an ugly duckling but a beautiful swam” he exclaimed.

    He was very happy. From that day on, he swam and played with his new friends and was happier than he had never been.

    Last year, at the end of the year, my wife and I decided to spend our holiday at Tanjung Setia beach, which located around 234 kilometers from Bandarlampung.

    When we arrived at the beach, we were surprised to see the beautiful view of the beach. After having a quick dip in the ocean, which was really cold and windy, we realized that there were not many people there. We thought that it happened because it was too windy there during that time but we finally realized that it was Christmas holiday so almost all of tourists who are used to spending time there went back to their country.

    After spending few times swimming in the beach, we bought some hot chips at the takeaway store nearby, and we rode our bikes down the beach for a while, on the hard, damp part of the sand. The next day we visited Labuan Jukung beach. There, we were amazed to see the high wave owned by this beach. Because it was so high that no body was brave enough to surf on it that time.

    The third day there, we decided to go home when we finally made it back home, we were both totally exhausted because of the trip but we were so happy to travel such an amazing beach Lampung province has.

  23. 280 Three years ago, I and my classmates visited Borobudur Temple. We went to Borobudur temple by bus. We left our school at nine o’clock. It took us 24 hours to arrive there. I arrived there nine o’clock the next day. Along the road, we saw many vehicles, unique houses, prominent buildings, and some other tourists.

    After we arrived at the Borobudur temple, one of my teachers went to buy tickets. After we waited him for a moment we entered into Borobudur temple area. Then we went up to the top of the temple. Borobudur temple was built at Budur Village, Magelang, Jawa Tengah by Syailendra Dynasty. Borobudur Temple is the biggest temple in the world. It has 504 statues and 1.400 reliefs. From the top of the temple we can see such beautiful scenery. I and my friends went around the temple together. Finally, after having some visits, we should go to the hotel to stay and continue our study tour the next day.

    We felt tired that day but we felt so happy to visit Borobudur temple which is well-known as one of the greatest legacies Indonesia has ever had. I hope the temple can be loved by all of the visitors and the government.

  24. 309 Last holiday, I and my beloved wife, visited Lembah Pelangi Waterfall in Ngarip District, Tanggamus Regency, Lampung Province, Indonesia. It was the first time for me to visit such a wonderful waterfall.

    To reach the waterfall location, we should go on foot after having around three hours trip riding a motorcycle from Bandarlampung, the capital city of Lampung. When we arrived there, I was amazed by the beautiful scenery of the waterfall. The air was so fresh at that time and I could not bear to jump into the water immediately. It is quite windy there and all I could see only green, green, and green. Hearing the sound of falling water while we were swimming made me feel peaceful and relaxing.

    Finally, the day was getting dark and it was time for us to go home. It was such an unforgettable experience for me. I really enjoyed it.
    One day, my sister named Putri said to me that she really wanted to go to the beach. So I promised her that the next week we would go to Mutun beach in Lampung.

    The next week, we prepared everything needed in the morning. We brought some foods and beverages, such as chocolate wafers, potato chips, water and orange juice. Before going to the beach, I ask our brother, Bayu, to join us. He agreed to join and we went there together with our parents. We went there by car. It took 3 hours to arrive there. Then, we bought tickets in the entrance gate. Before swimming, we changed our clothes first. We swam there for more than one hour. We felt so tired that we decided to eat the foods that we had brought. Next, three of us created a very big sand castle, while my parents were enjoying the beautiful scenery there. After that, we decided to go home because it was getting dark.

    On the way home, we still felt hungry. So we stopped at a restaurant to have dinner. I ordered sruit, Lampungnese traditional food, while my brother, my sister, and my parents ordered fried rice. After finished eating, we paid our bills. Then, we went home. We arrived at home at 9 o’clock. We were tired but we were absolutely happy.

    On February 8th, 2016, I thought this would be a great holiday for me because that was Chinese New Year holiday. I didn’t celebrate the Chinese New Year as I’m not Chinese but I guessed that it was a good time for me to get full refreshing. I was so tired to studying. However, the unpredictable fact broke everything up.

    First like an ordinary daughter, I had to get up early morning to help my mother, of course after I prayed. Then I did the dishes, cleaned up my room, and did my bed. I was really in danger if my mom knew that my room was messy. So, I made it as soon as possible. After finishing everything, my aunts called me in the afternoon. I did not meet them for a long time so we kept for hours to talk about some up to date gossips. Not long after that, my neighbor who is also my schoolmate visited me. She asked my help to finish her homework. At last, the time was running and the homework was successfully finished. An unpredictable moment happened after that. To my surprised, I just remembered that I had a lot of homework too. I got confused and regretful why I did not check it. As the consequence, I did my homework until late night and it was hardly finished. Since then, I always check my home work before having a holiday.

    I did not feel this was holiday instead of I had to work hard and got a long ship with my homework.
    One day, when I was ten years old, my father bought an old motorcycle. That was " Honda 75". I think it was small light object and easy to ride it. I persuaded my father to teach me to ride " Honda 75 ". Firstly, my father refused my request and promised that he would teach me two or three years later, but I still whimpered. Finally, my father surrendered and promised to teach me.

    He began to teach me riding the motorcycle around a field in my village. My father was very patient to give me some directions. I was very happy when I realized my ability to ride a motorcycle. " Yes, I can ".

    One day later, when I was alone at home, I intended to try my riding ability. So, myself tried bravely. All ran fluently in the beginning, but when I was going back to my home and I passed through a narrow slippery street, I got nervous. I lost my control and I fell to the ditch.

    After that, I told my father about the last accident. I imagined my father would be angry and never let me ride again. But the reality is exactly on the contrary, my father was very proud of me. He just gave me some advices and since that accident, I got my father's permission to ride motorcycle.

  26. It was takbiran night. It was also my birthday, and nothing happened. Or I had thought nothing would happen, but I was wrong.

    That night, I was watching television with my family when I heard someone lit fireworks in my front yard. I peeped through my window glass but could see nothing. It was very dark outside. Then I thought it had to be my cousins who lit the fireworks. Then I plopped down on my sofa again and tried to concentrate on the television since my mind raced with disappointment that no one gave something special on my birthday.

    I shrugged, it was almost the end of the day and I became pessimist. Five minutes later my mobile beeped. It was a text from my friend asking 370
    me to come out. Wondering what was going on, I grabbed my jacket and hurried to the front door. I was surprised to see her bring a bag full of firework and fire drills. Next I was surprised to see my other friend come out from the darkness. She brought a beautiful birthday cake on her hands. Oh my God! I shrieked. Then they gave the cake to me who was too stunned to say anything. I realized I was blushing furiously because my whole family was watching. Not to mention my neighbors too!

    A plain day, or I thought it was before, turned out to be one of the greatest moment in my life. I didn’t even know how to describe what I felt. Happy was the simplest word.


    Last tuesday was a busy day for me. I spent my time to do a lot of activities from my senior high school to my home. I had no time to take a rest.

    First, at the morning, I went jogging. After that I went to school to study until 3.00 pm. fom my school , I went to sanggarian sport hall to practice badminton until 8.00 pm. I practiced hard because that I felt very tired. After that, I went home. But when I would sleep, I remembered there was some homeworks that I had to do. I did my homeworks untill 11.40 pm. And finally I could take a rest in my bed.

    Those activities made my day busy and I felt very tired.

    Everybody agreed that Aioga was a very beautiful girl. In fact, the villagers told her that she was the most beautiful girl in their village. This made Aioga vain. She became proud of her beauty and each day looked at herself in the mirror. She liked her looks so much that daily she went to look at herself in the stream that ran past her house.
    One day, her mother asked her to wash the dishes. Aioga spent so much time admiring her reflection in the dishes that her mother was annoyed. “Aioga, you’re becoming too vain and lazy. You do nothing but admire yourself each day. This has got to stop. Even our neighbours are complaining. They say that you’ve become proud and won’t even talk to their daughters. You make me so ashamed.”
    Aioga sulked and refused to do any more work. She thought her mother was treating her badly. She became even lazier. Each day, she lay in bed until the sun was high in the sky. Her mother did not know what to do with her.
    “Aioga, please go to the stream and fetch some water. I want to bake some cakes for tea,” said her mother.
    “But I may fall into the water,” said Aioga.
    Her mother sighed. She was slowly losing patience with her daughter. “Hold on to a bush and you won’t fall in.”
    “But the bush may fall into the stream,” complained her daughter.
    “But all the bushes by the stream have thorns and I may scratch my pretty hands,” said the girl.
    Her mother grew steadily more impatient. “Aioga, put on your mittens. They’ll not only keep you warm but will also stop you from getting scatched.” Aioga then complained that her mit­tens were torn. Her mother then handed her a needle and thread.
    “What if the needle breaks?" asked the girl. Aioga did not sew her mittens but instead spent the time looking at herself in the mirror.
    Her mother was very angry with her, and when her hus­band returned from work, she spoke to him about their daugh­ter. He was angry too when he heard what his wife had told him, so he sent for Aioga. “Aioga, go this minute and get a re­ally thick needle from the workbasket and mend your mittens,” he said.
    “But, Papa, what if the needle pricks my finger?”
    “You can use a thimble made of strong skin,” he said.
    “But if the thimble is pierced I’ll hurt my finger,” said the girl.
    Aioga’s younger sister, who was good and sweet-natured, came into the room. Cheerfully, she offered to fetch the water. She ran to the stream, filled the bucket and then helped her mother bake some cakes. When Aioga saw the lovely golden cakes, her mouth began to water. They looked delicious.
    ”Mother, give me some cakes,” she said.
    “They’re hot and you’ll burn your fingers,” said her mother. “I’ll put on my mittens.”
    “But your mittens are torn. Besides, they’re damp as you did not dry them out yesterday after playing in the snow,” said her mother.
    “I’ll dry them now before the fire,” said the girl.
    “No, drying them out too quickly will make them stiff. And you won’t be able to hold the cakes,” said her mother.
    Aioga was hungry and the cakes smelled so delicious. “I’ll soften them with some wax,” she said.

    There was a couple who lived on the foot of Mount Bromo, Roro Anteng and Joko Seger. After eight years of marriage, they had not had any children. For six years they prayed, pleaded with God to give them children. Finally, their prayer was complied on one condition: they would have to sacrifice their youngest son to the Bromo crater.
    After some time, Roro Anteng gave birth to a child. And it happened every year until they had 25 children. They lived happily and ignored the agreement. The Mount Bromo erupted signaling that the Gods asked the couple to fulfill their promise. But, they didn’t want to let their youngest son, Raden Kusuma, be sacrificed to the crater.
    Raden Kusuma learned about the deal his parents had made. Meanwhile, the lava from the crater had made the people living near the mountain suffered. Raden Kusuma was a kind and noble man. He did not want his siblings and the people suffered because of him. Therefore, he went to Mount Bromo and sacrificed himself to the carater. The eruption suddenly stopped.
    Since that day, every Kasodo 14th in the Tenggerese calendar, the Tengger people (descendant of Roro Anteng and Joko Seger) give offerings to the crater, as raden Kusuma had asked before the sacrifice.

    When the world was young, no one lived on earth. Every day, Magbabaya, the God of life, looked down on the earth from his home in the sky.
    Cerita Sejarah Warna Kulit
    “Oh, how lovely the earth looks! It’s so big but yet so empty!”
    One day, he had a bright idea.
    “I must make some people to live on earth.”
    Cerita Sejarah Warna Kulit
    He jumped down from his home in the sky. He dug up, some earth and mixed it with water. He then made some human beings out of it. He laid them on the ground to dry in the sun.
    Cerita Sejarah Warna Kulit
    Soon he returned to the sky, he hunted the whole day in the sky forest, afterwards, he went home with the animals he had caught. Suddenly, he remembered the people he had left to dry in the sun. he returned to earth as fast as he could. But they had already been burnt as black as coal by the hot sun.
    Cerita Sejarah Warna Kulit
    He shook his head. “I must try again,” he said. “Next time, I’ll be careful not to leave them so long under the sun
    Again, he made some human beings out of clay. He laid them out carefully to dry under the sun. but he was so worried this time that he did not leave them long enough. They were not baked properly. When he looked at them, he saw that they were too pale.
    He said. “Tomorrow when the sun shine, I shall make some more people. This time, I shall make sure they are baked longer.”
    Cerita Sejarah Warna Kulit
    Once more, he took some clay and made some human beings out of it. He laid them carefully in the sun. when he thought that the sun was getting too hot, he covered them with leaves, and put them in the shede.
    Cerita Sejarah Warna Kulit
    Then he let a gentle breeze blow over them. Every now and again, he turned each of them over so that they would have the same light brown colour all over.
    When he had finished, he looked proudly at his work. They were a golden brown colour and very good to look at. “They are perfect!” he cried happily.
    Cerita Sejarah Warna Kulit
    Then he collected all the human beings he had made and placed them in different parts of the world.
    And this is why we have black, white and brown people today.

    Do you know where the name Hong Kong comes from?
    There are several interesting stories about this. A long time ago, there was a village near Arberdeen called “Hong Kong Ts’un” or “Incense Harbour Village”. The incense grown there was famous throughout China. Some of it was even sent to
    the Chinese Emperor. Some people believe that the name Hong Kong comes from this village.
    What happened to this village? One day, the Emperor wanted some incense sent to him from the village. The villagers did not send it to him. The Emperor then ordered his officer to arrest the village headmen and cut off their heads. After that, everyone ran away from the village and no more incense was grown there.
    But some other people believe that Hong Kong is named after a container for burning incense. Long, long ago, this container was picked up in the harbor. It was kept in a tample at Causeway Bay. The place where it was found was called “Hong Kong” or “Incense Harbour”
    There is a third story that Hong Kong is named after a woman called Hong ku. She was the wife of a pirate chief. After her husband died, she became the leader of the pirates. She then moved to the island which is now called Hong Kong. If this story is true, the name “Hong kong” means “Hong’s Harbour”.
    According to yet another story, Hong Kong is named after a stream near Pokfulan Road. The water was very pleasant to drink. Many years ago, people used to go there to collect drinking water. The stream was called “Hong Kong” or “sweet stream”.

    The Dusun people called their God Kinoringan. At first, he and his wife Yumun lived alone in the sky. One day Kinoringan said, “I feel rather lonely. Why don’t we make the world?” so he took his shield and a round rice-tray. He put the shield upside down with the tray on top of it. He then lowered them down below the clouds. The shield became the earth the tray the sky. He and his wife then stood on the earth.
    “it’s not very interesting, is it?” he asked. “Let’s make some mountains and sea and islands.”
    So they took a large stone and placed it in the centre of the earth. This is the stone which people now call Mount Kinabalu. It is said that Kinoringan still lives on top of it to judge people when they die.
    Kinoringan and his wife placed another large stone on the earth and this became the Mantanani Island. They dug a hole which they tilled with water to make the sea. As they walked on the earth. They were so heavy that their feet sank into the ground. These holes became valleys.
    “What about making some people?” Kinoringan said. First of all, they made a man and a woman out of stone. But the couple was unable to talk or walk. They then made a man and a woman out of wood. These could talk but they could not walk. So Kinoringan and his wife burnt them and the ashes became deserts. Finally, they made a man and a woman out of an ant’s nest. These could both walk and talk. The human race began in tis way.
    Some people believe that Kinoringan still watches over the world from the top of mount Kinabalu. When a baby is born, he takes a piece of string and ties some knots in it. Each knot stands for a number of years. Every year, Kinoringan unties one knot. When the last knot is untied, the time has come for the person to die. Sometimes, however, Kinoringan falls asleep while he is tying the knots. When he wakes up, he forgets what he has done and takes another piece of string and starts tying some more knots. That is why some people have a long life. If Kinoringan falls asleep before he was tied the first knot, the baby will die before it is one year old.
    People say that when they die their souls go to Mount Kinabalu. On the way, they must cross the Tempasuk River near the house of Oduk Magatob, the daughter of Kinoringan. When a soul comes to her house, she looks to see if the last knot has been untied. If it has not, she sends the soul back home. That is why some people who appear to be dead, come back to life.
    This is how Kinoringan made the world

    While he was praying he heard a voice. The voice told him how to bring his wife back to life. The voice said, :Cut your finger and let three drops of blood fall on your wife.” The man did what he was told. When the third drop of blood fell on his wife, she came back to life. The fisherman was very happy to have his wife back.
    One day soon after that, the wife went to the beach to wait for her husband to come back from fishing. While she was waiting, she met a rich man with a big boat. The rich man told the woman, “You are very beautiful. Come with me on my big boat. I can make you very wealthy.” The woman wanted to be rich, so she went with him.
    When her husband came back, he saw two other fisherman. They told him that his wife had left with the rich man. The husband went to find his wife. When hi found her, he was very angry. He asked her to come back home, but she refused him. Then, he told her that he wanted back his three drops of blood.

    Chang O did not live alone for very long. She soon caught cold and began to cough. One day, she coughed up the “Pill of every lasting life”, Which changed into a white rabbit. She was very pleased that the rabbit came to live with her because she did not feel so lonely. Later on, Chang O and the rabbit were joined by an old man as well. The old man had been sent to the moon by a fairy for doing something wrong. He had been ordered by the fairy to cut down all the trees on the moon. This was more difficult that it sounds. As soon as he cut down one tree, another grew in its place.
    Chang O still thought of her husband every day. But there seemed to be no way for her to see him again.
    One day, Hou I was carried off in a storm to the palace of the Queen Mother of the west. The Queen Mother’s husband gave him a cake and a magic ring.

    The Sun God Story
    “Eat this cake,” he said. “You will able to live on the sun without feeling the heat.”
    Hou I did so. He flew straight up to the sun. The Queen Mother’s husband appeared again. “You are now King of the Sun,” he told him. “Is there anything you want?”
    “I want to see my wife,” Hou I said. “You can rub the ring I give you if you want to see your wife,” said the queen mother’s husband.
    Hou I rubbed the ring and flew straight to the moon. He soon found his wife. The Queen Mother’s husband came to see him once more.
    “Don’t forget you are King of the Sun,” he said “You cannot leave the sun too often. You can only visit your wife on the fifteenth night of every month.”
    Hou I was very happy to hear this. From that time on, he came to see his wife once a month. That is why the moon is always very large and bright on that night.

    Long time ago, there was a handsome young man who wanted to climb the Alp Mountain. The mountain was so cold and covered with thick snow. People said that a beautiful fairy lived in that mountain.
    The young man wanted to meet the fairy. He also wanted to see the beautiful palace made of ice. Many people tried to climb the mountain but all of them did not succeed. Some of them gave up before they met the fairy and some others could not stand the cold.
    This young man was different. He could climb the mountain and did not give up. He climbed and climbed for the whole week. The weather as so cold, but he kept climbing to the fairy’s palace.
    He finally met the beautiful fairy, and they fell in love with other immediately. But, the fairy was not happy.
    “We can’t live together. My father would not allow me to marry a man,” said the fairy.
    “Why not?” asked the young man.
    “Because we live in two different worlds. I can’t stay in your world because it is too hot and you can’t stay in my palace because it is too cold. I’m afraid you will die,” explained the fairy.
    Therefore, they had to separate. Since that day, the young man promised to himself that he would not marry anyone. The beautiful fairy was so sad that she cried every day. Every time her tears flowed down on the mountain, it became a beautiful white flower called edelweiss.

    And we wish to be petted in gardens," declared the rose, the pansies, the sweet williams, the holly hocks.
    "I love the warm dry sun — I will go to the sandy desert," said the cactus. So all places except the bare ridges of high mountains were chosen. To these, no flower wished to go.
    "There is not enough food there!" the daisy explained.
    "There is not enough warmth! There is not enough food!" all decided. " It is so bare and chilly! Let the gray moss go and cover the rocks," they said. But the moss was loath to go.
    "When one cannot live without moisture, warmth, nourishment — when one must have petting or live in a garden, surely the bleak places of the mountains must do without flowers! How foolish it would be to try to make the ragged, bare mountain-tops lovely! Let the gray moss go — he has not yet chosen!"
    So the gray moss went up the high mountains because he was told to go. He climbed over the bare rocks beyond the places where forests ceased to grow. All was desolate and silent up there.
    Up higher and higher crept the gray moss. It went even above the clouds where the ragged rocks were covered with ice and snow.
    There it stopped short in amazement, for it found a quiet star-shaped flower clinging to the crags and blossoming! It was white like the snow around it, and its heart was of soft yellow. So cold was it up there that the little flower had cased its leaves in soft wool to keep warm and living in the bleakness.
    "Oh!" cried the gray moss, stopping short. "How came you here where there was no warmth, no moisture, no nourishment? It is high above the forests, high above the clouds! I came because I was sent. Who are you?"
    Then the little starry flower nodded in the chill wind. "I am the edelweiss," it said. "I came here quietly because there was need of me, that some blossom might brighten these solitudes."
    "And didn't they tell you to come?"
    "No," said the little flower. "It was because the mountains needed me. There are no flowers up here but me."
    The edelweiss is closer to the stars than the daisy, the buttercup, the iris, or the rose. Those who have courage, like it, have found it high above the clouds, where it grows ever gladly. They call it Noble White — that is its name, edelweiss! Love, like the edelweiss, knows not self-sacrifice.

    Long, long ago, this mountain was jealous of another mountain next to it. The other mountain’s name was Jade Mountain. Jade Mountain was higher than Half-Screen Mountain but Half-Screen Mountain did not want to admit this.
    One day, it challenged Jade Mountain. “Let’s see who is the higher,” it said. “God can be our judge.”
    Jade Mountain was angry as it knew it was the higher of the two. “Don’t be foolish. You know I am higher.” It replied.
    “Impossible!” Half-Screen Mountain said. “I am so high that if a piece of bean curd were placed on my head, the sky would be broken.”
    At this moment, God was passing by and heard what Half-Screen Mountain said. He decided to punish Half-Screen Mountain. He ordered the God of Thunder to strike the mountain with his hammer. The God of Thunder did so. The mountain split in two and half of it fell into the valley below.

    Once upon a time, and old blind man lived on Pulau Timbun Mata (Shut-Eye Island)
    He often sat in the sun outside his house looking after padi which his son had placed there to dry.
    Whenever chickens came to eat the padi, he used to bang on the ground with a long stick to chase them away.
    One day, his grandson played a trick on him. He caught a couple of crabs on the beach and placed them on the padi. They made a noise just like chickens eating the padi. “Tick, tick, tick!”
    “What’s that?” asked the old man.
    “Don’t you know?” his grandson replied. “Some chickens are eating the padi.”
    The old man banged on the ground with his stick. But the crabs were not frightened. They continued to eat the padi.
    “Ha, ha, Ha!” laughed the boy.
    Suddenly, there was a terrible roar like the firing of cannon. An old man with a long white beard appeared in a cloud of smoke. He pointed a wand at the boy. “You should never laugh at your grandfather,” he said, “especially as he is blind.”
    Before the boy could answer, a strong wind started to blow and the sky became black. A cloud of red smoke shot out of the top of a hill in the centre of the island. Tons of rock and boiling mud were thrown high into the air. All the houses on the island were destroyed and everyone living on the island was turned into stone.
    Even today, if you visit the island, all you can see are some strange-looking rocks which resemble people.

    In days long gone by, the world divided into two parts, and each part was rulled by a powerful giant king. The Eastern lands were hot and wet, while the Western lands were cold and dark. Sometimes there were wars between the giants of two the lands, but story takes place when there was peace.
    The youngest son of the king of the Western Lands wanted to travel, and so left father’s palace. For many days, the prince travelled east, hiding whenever he saw soldiers. Many weeks later, he came to a small lake in the Eastern lands.
    Because it was hot, the prince went for a swim in the lake. Suddenly, he saw a beautiful girl on the opposite side of the lake. He swam to her side, and they began to talk.
    “I am a traveller from the Western Lands,” said the prince.
    The girl’s eye grew wide. “Then you must leave,” she said. “My father, the king, will kill you if he finds you here.”
    The prince was about to swim away when the giant princess called him back. “Don’t go yet. My ladies and I will hide you for a time, and we can swim together each day.”
    After his long journey, the prince was glad to have chance to rest. The princess’s ladies hid him in a small house in the forest near the lake. Each day they brought him food, and each day he swam with the princess in the lake, before long, the prince and the princess fell in love.
    “I want to marry you,” said the prince.
    “But my father would never agree to it,” said the princess. “He would never let me marry a prince of the western Lands.”
    “I’ll go and ask him anyway.” Said the prince, and he walked to the palace of the king of the Eastern lands.
    When the king heard the prince say he wanted to marry the princess, he immediately threw the young man into prison. A few days later, the princes escaped, and he went to the lake. There he saw the princess. “Come with me to the west,” he said. “we can be married in my father’s palace, and my family will welcome you as my wife,”
    “Are you sure it will be all right?” asked the princess. “Yes, but we must hurry.”

In her hurry, the giant princess dropped her bundle. In the darkness, she was able to find her shiny jewelry, but not her fan. “I’ve lost my fan, my beautiful fan,” she cried.
    The princess could hear the guards coming closer. “Come, my dear,” he said “we cannot waste any more time. I’ll buy you another they fled to the Western Lands where they were married. The beautiful fan that the giant princess dropped, fell to earth in what is now Malaysia. Some time later it flated down a river to the sea where it caught on some rocks and turned into an island.

    many years ago, rabbits had long tails, not short ones, and crocodiles had tongues.
    One such long-tailed rabbit lived near a pond. He drank water from the pond and the grass nearby.
    Now, in the pond lived a crocodile. The crocodile saw the rabbit eating grass and drinking water, and he thought how nice it would be to eat the rabbit.
    One day the crocodile swam very close to the edge of the pond. He lay still in the water, hoping that the rabbit wouldn’t see him. When the rabbit came to drink
    , the crocodile opened his mouth wide. Then he closed it with a snap. The rabbit was caught between the crocodile’s sharp teeth!
    Of course, the rabbit was very frightened, but he did not want the crocodile to know this. “I’m not afraid of you,” said the rabbit. “I’m only afraid of animals that roar. Everyone knows that crocodiles can’t roar, so you can’t frighten me.
    When the crocodile heard this, he became very angry. He wanted to show the rabbit that he could roar as fiercely as a tiger. And so, the crocodile opened his mouth to roar. When the crocodile opened his mouth, the clever rabbit jumped free. As he jumped, the rabbit’s sharp toe-nails caught the crocodile’s tongue and tore it out.
    The crocodile tried to catch the rabbit again, but his great teeth only snapped off the end of the rabbit’s tail. Again and again the crocodile tried to catch the rabbit, but the rabbit was too quick for him. Sometimes the crocodile caught a piece of the rabbit’s tail, but he could never roar at the rabbit because he had lost his tongue.
    That is why rabbit today have short tail, and crocodiles have no tongue.

    Once upon a time down on an old farm, lived a duck family, and Mother Duck had been sitting on a clutch of new eggs. One nice morning, the eggs hatched and out popped six chirpy ducklings. But one egg was bigger than the rest, and it didn’t hatch. Mother Duck couldn’t recall laying that seventh egg. How did it get there? TOCK! TOCK! The little prisoner was pecking inside his shell.“Did I count the eggs wrongly?” Mother Duck wondered. But before she had time to think about it, the last egg finally hatched. A strange looking duckling with gray feathers that should have been yellow gazed at a worried mother. The ducklings grew quickly, but Mother Duck had a secret worry.

    “I can’t understand how this ugly duckling can be one of mine!” she said to herself, shaking her head as she looked at her last born. Well, the gray duckling certainly wasn’t pretty, and since he ate far more than his brothers, he was outgrowing them. As the days went by, the poor ugly duckling became more and more unhappy. His brothers didn’t want to play with him, he was so
    clumsy, and all the farmyard folks simply laughed at him. He felt sad and lonely, while Mother Duck did her best to console him.

    “Poor little ugly duckling!” she would say. “Why are you so different from the others?” And the ugly duckling felt worse than ever. He secretly wept at night. He felt nobody wanted him.

    “Nobody loves me, they all tease me! Why am I different from my brothers?”
    Then one day, at sunrise, he ran away from the farmyard. He stopped at a pond and began to question all the other birds. “Do you know of any ducklings with gray feathers like mine?” But everyone shook their heads in scorn.“We don’t know anyone as ugly as you.” The ugly duckling did not lose heart, however, and kept on making inquiries. He went to another pond, where a pair of large geese gave him the same answer to his question. What’s more, they warned him: “Don’t stay here! Go away! It’s dangerous. There are men with guns around here!” The duckling was sorry he had ever left the farmyard.

    Then one day, his travels took him near an old countrywoman’s cottage. Thinking he was a stray goose, she caught him.

    “I’ll put this in a hutch. I hope it’s a female and lays plenty of eggs!” said the old woman, whose eyesight was poor. But the ugly duckling laid not a single egg. The hen kept frightening him.“Just wait! If you don’t lay eggs, the old woman will wring your neck and pop you into the pot!” And the cat chipped in: “Hee! Hee! I hope the woman cooks you, then I can gnaw at your bones!” The poor ugly duckling was so scared that he lost his appetite, though the old woman kept stuffing him with food and grumbling: “If you won’t lay eggs, at least hurry up and get plump!”

    “Oh, dear me!” moaned the now terrified duckling. “I’ll die of fright first! And I did so hope someone would love me!”

    Then one night, finding the hutch door ajar, he escaped. Once again he was all alone. He fled as far away as he could, and at dawn, he found himself in a thick bed of reeds. “If nobody wants me, I’ll hid here forever.” There was plenty a food, and the duckling began to feel a little happier, though he was lonely. One day at sunrise, he saw a flight of beautiful birds wing overhead. White, with long slender necks, yellow beaks and large wings, they were migrating south.

    “If only I could look like them, just for a day!” said the duckling, admiringly. Winter came and the water in the reed bed froze. The poor duckling left home to seek food in the snow. He dropped exhausted to the ground, but a farmer found him and put him in his big jacket pocket.

    “I’ll take him home to my children. They’ll look after him. Poor thing, he’s frozen!” The duckling was showered with kindly care at the farmer’s house. In this way, the ugly duckling was able to survive the bitterly cold winter.

    However, by springtime, he had grown so big that the farmer decided: “I’ll set him free by the pond!” That was when the duckling saw himself mirrored in the water.

    “Goodness! How I’ve changed! I hardly recognize myself!” The flight of swans winged north again and glided on to the pond. When the duckling saw them, he realized he was one of their kind, and soon made friends.

    “We’re swans like you!” they said, warmly. “Where have you been hiding?”

    “It’s a long story,” replied the young swan, still astounded. Now, he swam majestically with his fellow swans. One day, he heard children on the river bank exclaim: “Look at that young swan! He’s the finest of them all!”

    And he almost burst with happiness.

The guards begged the king to cancel his plan. "Sir, it is dangerous if we continue the journey with this condition. It's better if we stop first to a safer place. If I am not mistaken, there is a place nearby here named Tumasik Island. “What if we stay there while waiting for a safer condition?" Said the captain of the ship. The king approved this opinion. Their boat was docked to Tumasik Island shortly afterwards.
    Arriving on the island, King and several bodyguards left the ship and looked around the island. When they're looking around, suddenly an animal which was not far from them flashed. The king was surprised and fascinated. The beast was so huge, looked dashing, and was golden in color." What creature was that?" Asked the King to his guards. "If i am not mistaken, people call it “Singa”, your majesty," one of his bodyguards replied. "What?" Asked the King to clarify. “Singa” replied the guard.
    The king then asked more explanation about the animal. Attentively, The King listened to all explanations from his bodyguard about the animal. "Then, we give the name of this place “Singapore”.”Meaning: The City of Lion which is derived from malay “Singa” (lion) and “Pura / Pore” (City)". Since that time the town was named Singapore.

    In ancient times, the snails did not bring their home anywhere. In the beginning, snails lived in an abandoned bird's nest in the trees. The night was warm and the day was cool because the leaves shaded the nest where the snails lived. But when the rains came, the leaves could no longer block the rain that fell. Snails caught cold and wet when the rainy season arrived.
    Then the snails moved into the holes in the trunks of trees. When the day was hot, the snails were well protected, even if it rained. It looked like that I had found a suitable home for me, the snail said in his heart.
    But on a sunny day, there came a woodpecker. Tok..tok ... tok ... woodpecker kept pecking the trunks where the snails lived. Snails became very distracted and could not sleep. With annoyed heart, snails went out of the hole in the trunk and looked for a place to stay next. Snails found a hole in the ground, which seemed to be warm when the night came, thought snails. Snails cleaned up those holes and decided to stay in it. But it turned out when the night came. The rats came from all directions to damage the hole. Again and again, the snails had to leave the hole to find a new home.
    Snails then moved on to the edge of the beach filled with coral reefs. He thought that the sidelines of the corals might be his home. Snails could take a rest peacefully in this place. But when the tide rose up to the top of the rock, snail was swept away along with the surge of the waves. As usual, the snails had to go away to find a new home. When he was walking away from the beach, the snail found an empty shell. This shape was beautiful and very light. Being tired and cold, snails went into the shell. Snails felt warm and comfortable then he slept in it. When the morning came, snails realized that he had found the best home for himself. He did not need to go home in hurry if it rained. He also would not get heat anymore, and no one would bother him. He then brought it home with him wherever he went.

    Once upon a time fairies and humans lived together peacefully. One day, Mekhala, a beautiful and clever elf, studied at Shie, a great hermit. Besides Mekhala, Master Shie also had a male student named Ramasaur. In the process of learning, the boy always envied Mekhala because Mekhala was very clever. But Master Shie still loved both of his students without favoritism.
    One day Guru Shie called and said to them, "Tomorrow, give me a cup full of dew. Who is faster to get it, so it will be lucky for him/her. The dew will be turned into a gem, who can grant every request. "Mekhala and Ramasaur stunned for a moment to hear the command. Ramasaur imagined he would ask for wealth and luxury after completing the task so that he could become the richest man in the country. However Mekhala just thought out loud. Getting a cup of dew in a short time is certainly not easy, Mekhala muttered in her heart.
    The next day, early in the morning, the disciples had been in the woods. Ramasaur pulled weeds and other small plants sloppily. But the result was disappointing. Dew that exists in plants was always spilled before it was poured into the cup. Instead, Mekhala absorbed the moisture with a soft cloth very carefully. She slowly squeezed the cloth and then inserted it into the cup. The result was very encouraging. Soon her cup had been filled up with dew. Mekhala saw Master Shie soon and gave his work.

    Master Shie received it joyfully. Mekhala was indeed a clever pupil. As promised, Master Shie transformed it into a gem as big as a thumb. "If you want something, take up this gem equally to the forehead. Then say whatever you want," Professor Shie said. Mekhala did whatever the teacher had taught, then called her wishes. Instantly, Mekhala were in the blue sky. She hovered like an eagle who was so beautiful.
    Meanwhile, only at dusk Ramasaur managed to get a cup of dew. The result was not as clear as that was collected by Mekhala. Then, Ramasaur handed the cup dew on Master Shie hastily. "Although you are not quicker than Mekhala, you will still get a gift on your effort," Master Shie said while handing a magic axe made of silver. When the axe was thrown to the object, even a mountain could be destroyed.
    In fact, Ramasaur abused the axe. He was very jealous of the Mekhala that could hover in the sky so beautifully. Ramasaur immediately threw the axe toward Mekhala. Knowing there would be danger threatens, Mekhala fend off the axe with the gem. The result was a violent clash and blinding light in the sky. The clash continues until today, in form of a deafening explosion. People refer it as "thunder"

    In ancient times there were four brothers called Ompung Silamponga, Ompung Silitonga, Ompung Silatoa, and Ompung Sintalaga who tried to escape from Tapanuli to the southeast. They crossed the ocean by using rafts. Then, they had been bobbing aimlessly on the sea for a couple of days so that their food supplies dwindled. Once in a while, when they discovered a land, they stopped to look for food and then continued the voyage.
    Once, Ompung Silamponga fell ill. His condition was deteriorating day by day. However, he remained determined to continue the journey. Meanwhile, his three brothers were so tired that he decided to stop sailing.
    Suddenly, a raft appeared while bobbing near their raft. The three siblings who were healthy decided to separate ompung Silamponga. They carried his brother who was seriously ill carefully to their newfound raft and pushed, so that it was drifted away from them.
    Ompung Silamponga was bobbed alone with his raft. His body became weak. After a long time had been bobbing, his raft then hit a hard object. Then Ompung Silamponga was awakened. He found himself already stranded on a beautiful beach whose waves were not so huge. Somehow he felt that his body became stronger and healthier. He then walked down the beach. He found a stream with clear water around the coast. Then Ompung Silamponga thought to live in that area.

    After some time living in that area, Ompung Silamponga got bored. Then, he went to explore the island. Ompung Silamponga explored a dense forest near the island. Finally, he arrived at the top of a hill with beautiful views. Then he could also know that there were people living at the foot of the hill. With a feeling of joy, unconsciously he shouted loudly, "Lappung! Lappung! Lappung!" (In Tapanuli language, lappung means “Wide”).
    Shortly after that, Ompung Silamponga went down from the top of the hill and opened a new settlement there. He gave the place a name "Lappung". In fact, a group of people who lived so left behind stayed also around the place. Ompung Silamponga established good relations with the indigenous population. The longer the area was, it developed more. Ompung Silamponga spent his life there until death.
    “Lampung” is recognized to be derived from two things. First, from the words shouted by Ompung Simaponga on the hill when it was first discovered that area. Second, from a part of Ompung Silamponga name.

    Once, there was a poor pious peasant who died and arrived before the gate of heaven. At the same time a very rich lord came there. They both wanted to get into heaven.
    Then the heaven’s door keeper came with the key, opened the door, and let the great man in, but apparently did not see the peasant, and shut the door again.
    Then, the peasant outside heard how the rich man was received in heaven with all kinds of rejoicing things he got inside the heaven.
    At length all became quiet again, and the heaven’s door keeper came and opened the gate of heaven, and let the peasant in.
    The peasant, however, expected that they would make music and sing when he went in to the heaven, but all remained quite and quiet. He was received with great affection, it is true, and the angels came to meet him, but no music and song for him.
    Then the peasant asked the heaven’s door keeper how it was that they did not sing for him as they had done when the rich man went in, and said that it seemed to him that there in heaven things were done with just as much partiality as on earth.
    Finally, said the heaven’s door keeper, “by no means, you are just as dear to us as anyone else, and will enjoy every heavenly delight that the rich man enjoys, but poor fellows like you come to heaven every day, but a rich man like this does not come more than once in a hundred years.”

    Long long time ago, there was a thirsty crow who flew over a field looking for water on a very hot day. She could not find any water although she had been searching for a long time. She left very exhausted and almost gave up. Suddenly, she saw some water inside a jug bellow her; she flew straight down to drink.
    After that, the crow tried to push her head into the jug. Unfortunately, she found that the neck of the jug was too narrow for her head. Then she tried to push the jug down for the water to flow out but she was unable because the jug was too heavy.
    The crow thought hard for a while. Then, after she had looked around her, she saw some pebbles. She suddenly had a good idea to drink the water. She started picking up the pebbles one by one, and dropped them into the jug one by one. Since more and more pebbles filled the jug, the water level kept rising and rising. Soon it was high enough for the crow to drink. “It’s working!” She said.

    Long time ago in the Island of Java, Indonesia, lived a couple of farmer. They had married for some years but they had no children. So they prayed to a monster called Buta Ijo to give them children. Buta Ijo was a ferocious and powerful monster. He granted their wish on one condition. When their children had grown up, they had to sacrifice them to Buta Ijo. He liked eating fresh meat of human being. The farmers agreed to his condition. Several months later the wife was pregnant.

    She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They named her Timun Emas. The farmers were happy. Timun Emas was very healthy and a very smart girl. She was also very diligent. When she was a teenager Buta Ijo came to their house. Timun Emas was frightened so she ran away to hide. The farmers then told Buta Ijo that Timun Emas was still a child. They asked him to postpone. Buta Ijo agreed. He promised to come again. The following year Buta Ijo came again. But again and again their parents said that Timun Emas was still a child.

    When the third time Buta Ijo came their parents had prepared something for him. They gave Timun Emas several bamboo needles, seeds of cucumber, dressing and salt.

    “Timun, take these things”

    “What are these things?”

    Timun Emas was just a girl while Buta Ijo was a monster so he could easily catch her up. When he was just several steps behind Timun Emas quickly spread the seeds of cucumber. In seconds they turned into many vines of cucumber. The exhausted Buta Ijo was very thirsty so he grabbed and ate them. When Buta Ijo was busy eating cucumber Timun Emas could run away.

    But soon Buta Ijo realized and started running again. When he was just several steps behind Timun Emas threw her bamboo needles. Soon they turned into dense bamboo trees. Buta Ijo found it hard to pass. It took him some time to break the dense bamboo forest. Meanwhile Timun Emas could run farther.

    Buta Ijo chased her again. When he almost catch her again and again Timun Emas threw her dressing. This time it turned into a lake. Buta Ijo was busy to save himself so Timun Emas ran way. But Buta Ijo could overcome it and continued chasing her.

    Finally when Timun Emas was almost caught she threw her salt. Soon the land where Buta Ijo stood turned into ocean. Buta Ijo was drowned and died instantly. Timun Emas was thankful to god and came back to her home

    Eager to solve the mystery of his birth, Herc traveled to the Temple of Zeus, for answers. He was shocked when the statue of Zeus come alive and the god revealed that he was Herc's father, and the goddess Hera was his mother.
    Zeus explained that Herc had been kidnapped and changed into a mortal while still baby. Then he told Herc why he could not come home.
    "Only gods can live on. Olympus" he said "but if you can prove yourself a true hero on Eath, your godhood will be restored... first, you must seek Philoctetes, the trainer of heroes".
    Zeus give to his son Pegasus, so Herc flew off and soon found Philoctetes, the satyr.
    "I need your help" Herc told Phil "I want to become a hero".
    "Sorry, kid" said Phil. "I'm retired. But a lightning from Zeus changed Phil's mind.
    Hero-training was so difficult that Herc often thought of quitting. In the end, though, he refused to give up and keept on working to reach his goal.
    Finally told Herc that he was ready for his first real test in the big, though city of Thebes.
    On their way to Thebes, Phil and Herc saw a beautiful young woman named Megara, who was being chased by a centaur.
    "A damsel in distress!" Phil shouted. Herc rushed to Megara's rescue.
    After Hercules had defeated the centaur, Megara introduced herself. Herc was so enchanted by Meg's beauty.

    Still Hercules remained mortal, unable to live on Olympus. Herc asked Zeus why this was so.
    "I'm afraid being famous isn't the same as being a true hero" Zeus answered "You must look inside your heart".

    Suddenly Hades knew the answer: Meg was Herc's weakness. Hercules would do anything to protect her from harm. Hades thought about this and came up with and idea. He would make Meg his prisoner!
    Herc was so upset when he saw Meg in chains that he agreed to a strange bargain. He would surrender his strength for a day if Hades would set Meg free.
    Hades was ready to put his plan into action. When Herc out of the way, the evil god would soon rule the world.
    First Hades freed the Titans from the pit where they had been imprisoned by Zeus. Then Hades ordered the Cyclops, a one-eyed monster, to get rid of Hercules.
    Without his mighty strength, Herc was no match for the Cyclops. But with Phil's encouragement, Hercules somehow managed to defeat the monster. Meg, though, was injured while trying to save Herc from a falling column. And true to Hades' promise, as soon as Meg was hurt, Hercules' strength come back.
    Although Herc didn't want to leave the gravely injured Meg, she convinced him to go help his father stop Hades.
    Hercules left Meg in Phil's care and hurried to Olympus. He found the gods in chains and Zeus trapped in a mountain of frozen lava. With his bare hands, Herc ripped open the lava and freed his father. Together they defeat the Titans.

    Hades knew his grand plan to take over Olympus was now ruined. As he headed back to the Underworld, he took pleasure in telling Hercules that Meg was dying.
    Hercules hurried back Meg, but her spirit had already left her body. Hercules rushed down to the Underworld, where he saw Meg's spirit floating in a pit of swirling souls.
    "Take me in Meg's place" Herc told Hades.
    That selfless act - Herc's willingness to give his life for Meg - made him a true hero at last.
    On his return to Olympus, Hercules was given a hero's welcome. But he finally knew where he truly belongs on Earth with Meg, where together they would live happily ever after

    When he regained his confidence, he worked hard day and night, just to make something out of himself. Finally with all these hard work and with the help of friends, this guy had set up his own company…

    “You never fail until you stop trying.” he always told himself. “I must make it in life!” One rainy day, while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain walking to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn’t take him long to realize those were his ex-girlfriend’s parents. With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the couple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury saloon. He wanted them to know that he wasn’t the same anymore, he had his own company, car, condo, etc. He had made it in life!

    Before the guy can realize, the couple was walking towards a cemetery, and he got out of his car and followed them…and he saw his exgirlfriend, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone… and he saw his precious papercranes in a bottle placed beside her tomb. Her parents saw him.He walked over and asked them why this had happened. They explained that she did not leave for France at all. She was stricken ill with cancer. In her heart, she had believed that he will make it someday, but she did not want her illness to be his obstacle … therefore she had chosen to leave him. She had wanted her parents to put his papercranes beside her, because, if the day comes when fate brings him to her again he can take some of those back with him. The guy just wept.

  94. One day, Mouse Deer went down to the river to take a drink. But he knew that the crocodile might be waiting underwater to eat him, so he said out loud. “I wonder if the water’s warm. I’ll put in my leg and find out.” Of course Mouse Deer didn’t put in his leg. He picked up a stick instead and put one end into the water. Chomp…! Crocodile grabbed the stick and pulled it underwater. Mouse Deer laughed. “Ha… ha…ha… Stupid crocodile! Cant you tell the difference between a stick and a leg?” Then Mouse Deer ran off to drink somewhere else.

    In the next day, Mouse Deer wanted to cross the river. He wanted to eat the fruits on the other side of the river. He saw a floating log in the river. He knew that Crocodile looked like a log when he floated. Mouse Deer didn’t want to be eaten by Crocodile when he crosses the river. He had an idea. He called out loud, “Crocodile!” Crocodile rose from the water, “Hello, Mouse Deer. Have you come to be my lunch?” Mouse Deer smiled. “Sorry, not today, Crocodile. I have orders from the King. He wants to invite all the crocodiles in this river to a party. He wants me to count all the crocodiles so he could prepare enough meal for you.”

    “Really…? Tell us what to do,” said Crocodile. “You must line up from this side of the river to the other side,” said Mouse Deer. Crocodile then got all his friends and family. They lined up across the river. Mouse Deer then jumped onto Crocodile’s back. “One,” he counted. He jumped onto the next crocodile, “Two.” And the next crocodile, “Three.” Mouse Deer kept jumping until he arrived on the other side of the river. “How many are there?” asked Crocodile. “Just enough,” said Mouse Deer. He laughed as he ran to the forest.***
