Selamat datang di hutan, ada frase negatif jika diterapkan untuk kondisi hukum di negara saat ini yaitu hukum rimba. Siapa yang kuat, dia yang menang. Sisi mengayomi yang tertindas, terlihat sangat kurang. Tertindas berarti bukan dia itu minoritas namun dari sisi pembelaan dan penyikapan masalah hukum. Minoritas yang kuat dengan uangnya mampu mempengaruhi keputusan hukum lewat peradilan yang ada. Hukum rimba, baca saja seperti itu. Nyatanya demikian, proses hukum yang tidak fair terlihat sekali di masa pemerintahan periode 2014 - 2019, sekarang sudah 2018 kurang dari 1 tahun hampir selesai namun mampu menunjukkan keadilan di mata hukum.
Masih ingat beberapa kebijakan pemerintah yang sempat bikin blunder? Yang terbaru misalnya menteri agama mengeluarkan list 200 mubaligh versi pemerintah, ini justru memecah belah umat Islam. Memecah belahnya dimana? Indonesia itu sangat luas dengan jumlah pemeluk agama Islam yang banyak, jumlah masjid saja lebih dari 200 se-Indonesia. Hal yang sama juga dengan jumlah dai/ mubaligh se-Indonesia, mengapa dai/ mubaligh yang legal untuk berceramah hanya berjumlah 200 saja? Kan nyeleneh itu namanya. Belum lagi ada daftar dai yang sudah almarhum. So, pemerintah itu jangan suka-suka dalam membuat aturan maupun kebijakan, ini kaitannya dengan bangsa bukan selevel RT/RW. Jika ada salah sedikit saja bisa berdampak besar bagi stabilitas negara dan bangsa. Jangan semena-mena dengan kekuasaan yang sekarang dimiliki. Negara ini bukanlah hutan rimba dimana yang kuat dialah yang menang, bukan. Namun pemerintah justru harus membuat aturan dan kebijakan yang membuat bangsa ini tentram, alias tidak bikin suasana gaduh. Keadilan harus ditegakkan setinggi-tingginya, maka rakyat akan trust pada pemerintah itu sendiri.
Jika penguasa itu memiliki mental diktator dan penindas, bengis, berat sebelah, tidak adil, bahkan lebih mengedepankan keuntungan material, negara di bisniskan, bukan rakyat yang dikedepankan maka sama saja negara ini tanpa aturan. Negara diliputi kegelapan, awan gelap yang mendukung semangat berbuat curang, kejahatan, dan kelicikan yang lebih pro pada praktek-praktek neo liberal.
Yaps, kondisi yang belum stabil terus menerus bisa membuat peluang terjadinya collapse alias tumbangnya kehormatan bangsa dan negara. Pemerintah yang semrawut bisa jadi dikarenakan oleh apaturnya (secara personalnya) belum memiliki integritas. Ditambah lagi mental birokrasi yang panjang, rumit, dan berpeluang menyuburkan praktek korupsi, kolusi, dan nepotisme. Padahal ini sudah melewati fase reformasi yang menentang segala bentuk praktek KKN.
Bolehlah kita menyebutnya selamat datang di hutan belantara, dimana yang kuatlah yang menang, rakyat lemah tidak mendapat pengayoman dan perlindungan yang layak, yang punya duit yang berkuasa sedangkan yang miskin semakin tertindas tanpa bisa bersuara. Yaps, karena suara mereka juga sudah terbeli dengan uang. Sungguh miris, jika hal tersebut benar-benar terjadi. Butuh pahlawan untuk menyelamatkan kondisi yang buruk ini agar bisa kembali ke arah masa depan bangsa yang cerah. Butuh nahkoda yang piawai dalam memimpin negara dan bangsa. Yang berwibawa, cerdas dan amanah. Ternyata rakyat mampu mengumpulkan kekuatan untuk menumbangkan pemimpin yang kurang kredibel, suka berbohong, apalagi lebih mementingkan gerombolannya saja. Dengan kekuatan media sosial sepertinya bisa menjadi alternatif solusi untuk menyalurkan semangat kebenaran dan keadilan.
Tema tulisan di artikel ini seperti sebuah judul film Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle di tahun 2017 yang menceritakan sekelompok pemuda yang bermain game papan dimana misinya menyelamatkan hutan dari pengaruh kekuatan yang jahat, agar hutan kembali normal sedia kala. Para jagoan tersebut masing-masing memiliki skill dan talenta yang berbeda, mereka hebat pada posisinya masing-masing. Sangat profesional, melakukan kerja berdasarkan keahliannya. Mengurusi masalah yang menjadi bidangnya, bukan mengurusi urusan di luar bidang keahlian yang dimiliki. Coba lihat beberapa menteri saat ini, mereka mengurusi masalahnya sendiri belum selesai eh malah ngurusi urusan menteri lain. Beberapa juga membuat kecewa banyak rakyat dengan kebijakkannya dan omongannya yang kadang menyakiti hati rakyat.

Sacriface of Raden Kusuma story
ReplyDeleteThere 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.
Legenda Danau Lau Kawar
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful day. Everybody in the Kawar village was happy. The farmers had just had their best harvest. The villagers were planning to hold a party to celebrate the good harvest. On one beautiful day, all the villagers gathered in a field. They wore beautiful dresses and made delicious food. Everybody was having good times! They were singing, laughing and, of course, eating delicious food.
The legend of Lau Kawar Lake
Did everyone go to the party? Unfortunately, there was one old woman still staying at her house. She was too old and weak to go to the party. Her son, her daughter-in-law, and her grandchildren all went to the party. At home, the old woman felt very sad and lonely. She was very hungry too. She tried to find some food in the kitchen, but she was very disappointed. Her daughter-in-law did not cook that day. At the party, the son asked her wife, “Why don’t you take some food from the party and give it to my mom? Ask our son to deliver it.” Then the little boy brought the food to her grandmother. The old woman was so happy. But her happiness turned into sadness when she saw the food was not in a good condition. It seemed that someone had eaten the food. She just got little rice and fish bones.
The old woman was very sad. She thought bad things about her son. The old woman did not know that it was her grandson who had eaten the food on the way from the party to the house. She cursed her son. Then, a terrible thing happened. There was a great earthquake! Thunders struck the village. And heavy rains started to fall. All the villagers were so scared. They wanted to save themselves. They tried to find shelters. Slowly, the field turned into a lake. The lake was getting bigger and bigger, and finally the whole village turned into a big lake. People then named the lake Lau Kawar
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.
ReplyDeleteWhen 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.
Yesterday I and my family went to Way Kambas national park to see the elephants and rhinos conserved there. Way Kambas National Park is a national park which is used as elephant and rhino sanctuary located in Labuhan Ratu District, East Lampung, Lampung, Indonesia
ReplyDelete.
When we got to there, we saw some elephant performances such as playing football, sitting, greeting the visitors, and other entertaining performances. Unfortunately, we could not see the Sumatran rhinoceros because visitors must have a special permit in advance to see them. Visitors or ordinary tourists cannot see the Sumatran rhino’s natural breeding. In the afternoon we saw some animals which were being fed.
When we returned home we were tired but we were happy because we had so much fun in Way Kambas.
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.
ReplyDeleteAfter 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.
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.
ReplyDeleteTo 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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteFirst 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.
I am so glad that today is over. So many things have gone wrong. For some reasons I didn’t sleep a wink last night. I was very tired when Mum called me this morning. I fell asleep again until Mum called me again. That snooze made me late.
ReplyDeleteI did not have time for breakfast. I was starving as I ran to catch the school bus. I just missed it. Dad had to ride me to school. He was late for teaching at his school and he was furious with me. He scolded me for being late.
I arrived at school on time. The teacher asked us to hand in our homework. My homework was not in my bag. I had forgotten to put it in my bag the night before. I usually check my bag in the morning. I did not do this because I was late I had to do extra assignment as a punishment.
After Biology lesson, I did not tie my shoelace properly. I tripped over it. And fell down the stairs. I hurt my knee and had to have a bandage on it.
What a terrible day! I hope that I have much better one tomorrow.

Visiting Bali
ReplyDeleteThere were so many places to see in Bali that my friend decided to join the tours to see as much as possible. My friend stayed in Kuta on arrival. He spent the first three days swimming and surfing on Kuta beach. He visited some tour agents and selected two tours. The first one was to Singaraja, the second was to Ubud.
On the day of the tour, he was ready. My friend and his group drove on through mountains. Singaraja is a city of about 90 thousands people. It is a busy but quiet town. The street are lined with trees and there are many old Dutch houses. Then they returned very late in the evening to Kuta.
The second tour to Ubud was a very different tour. It was not to see the scenery but to see the art and the craft of the island. The first stop was at Batubulan, a center of stone sculpture. There my friend watched young boys were carving away at big blocks of stone. The next stop was Celuk, a center for silversmiths and goldensmiths. After that he stopped a little while for lunch at Sukawati and on to mass. Mass is a tourist center.
My friend ten-day-stay ended very quickly beside his two tour, all his day was spent on the beach. He went sailing or surfboarding every day. He was quiet satisfied.
The last school holiday, I spent the time with my family on vacation to a relative's house in Madiun, approximately 6 hour trip by bus from our home in Malang.
ReplyDeleteOn the way there, we saw many beautiful views such as rice fields, mountains, etc. Having arrived at the uncle's house, we were greeted by our relatives who had not met us for a long time. The next day, we walked around the town of Madiun until the sky got dark. Finally we decided to go home at 6:00 p.m. on that day.
On the next day, I forgot that it was the New Year. Sudenly, one of my cousins came and asked me to celebrate the New Year's Eve together. At night, I went together with him to the center of the city of Madiun which had already been so crowded because a lot of people who also wanted to celebrate the New Year with his family. When the countdown arrived, the sky which was dark at once then became so colorfully decorated by fireworks. We prayed together and watched the fireworks lightening the sky that night.
Suddenly, the holiday passed quickly. The last New Year's holiday experience in the city of Malang was so impressive for me.
Last holiday, I went to Sari Ringgung beach in Pesawaran, Lampung. I went there with my family. We left for the beach from my grandparents home in Tanggamus at 08.00 a.m. We went there by car. We arrived in the beach at 10:00 a.m.
ReplyDeleteIn Sari Ringgung beach, I swam with my brothers and my sisters. After swimming, we play sand together. We made a fort, houses, and hills of sand. After being satisfied playing on the beach, we then took a bath and ate the roasted corn while drinking coconut water. After being fresh anymore, we continued to view seascape on boats.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere in the beach. After having fun for about five hours, finally we returned home. Before reaching home, we rested beforehand and ate meatball on the side of the road. The meatball is so tasty that I ate two bowls of meatballs there. Not long after that, we continued the journey and got home safely at 7 p.m.
It was a tiring day, but we were very happy, because we got a lot of fun together there
The last semester holiday was a moment that I'd been waiting for. Because as long as I sit in ninth grade, I was spending more time to learn than doing some activities associated with my hobby.
ReplyDeleteMy last holiday was classified as a very simple holiday. I was only at home for doing my hobbies such as writing, drawing, and visiting my friends’ house. On the first day until the fifth day I spent time with writing some short stories, chatting with family, and painting some objects at home.
Then in the following days, I visited my friends’ home to study and to do fun things together. Having finished studying, we then cycled around the area to see new things together. After being tired of cycling, we took visit at other friends’ house while fulfilling the thirst. Every time the day got dark, we went back to our homes to spend time with family.
Those days were very enjoyable for me. Although I only spent holiday at home by doing funny things, spending time with family, and visiting my friends’ home while studying, I really enjoyed that short holiday.
The Mermaid
ReplyDeleteLong time ago there was a princess who was suffer of the witch’s magic.
Actually, the princess was very beautiful and kind person. Anybody loved her except her sister who was so jealous of her.
If the princess still had her beauty, so every prince would prefer to marry her rather than her sister.
One day, the sister ordered a witch to change the princess beauty into an ugly face.
The witch gave a bottle of poison to her to be added into the princess food. That poison would change princess’ appearance into an ugly one.
At the evening when the dinner started, the sister added the poison into the food for the princess. Nobody knew about that. The princess ate her food without noticed that there was a danger inside her food.
After eating, in the night, the princess’ skin was blister. The princess felt hurt and she cried to ask for a help.
No one could help her even the physicians in that kingdom. The princess was looked so scary like a monster. She was so sad and shy because anybody was afraid of her. Then she ran away and away from the kingdom.
She walked alone through the deep forest day and night. She was like a monster so that no animal or predator was brave to close to her. That made her more and more sad.
She walked until she reached a beach and then she felt so tired because she never had a rest from walking.
At that beach she began to sleep. She did not realized that she had been sleeping for three months and she woke up because there was a very handsome man come and woke her up.
“Wake up dear poor princes.” The man said.
“Oh, who are you? Why are you not afraid of me?” the princess asked.
“I am the king of the sea. You have been sleeping here for three months in suffer. So, it is the time for me to help you. I will give back your beauty but after that you will never get your previous life.” The man said.
“Oh, my lord, you are so kind. I have lost my previous life so I like to have the new life. What should I do my lord?” the princess asked.
“Follow me to come closer to the sea.”
The princess followed that man walked into the sea. After touching the sea, the princess’ beauty was back to her. She also amazed that the half of her body was a fish body.
“Now you cannot stay at the land dear princess, you will forever live in the sea like the fish. But don’t be sad. I will marry you and you will be the queen in my kingdom.” The man said.
Since that, the princess never went back to the land. The king of the sea married her and she became the queen of the sea.
Sometimes she appeared at the corral to see the sun. Some tailors or fisherman who had ever seen her called her a mermaid.
An Ugly Chick
ReplyDeleteOne day, at the farm there was a hen with her 7 eggs. The one of those eggs was too big for the usual hen’s egg. The hen did not understand how she had that egg but she still took care of it.
At one morning, all of those eggs cracked. There were six cute yellow chicks and one big black and ugly chick.
The mother did not understand why one of his chicks was too big and black and ugly. That ugly chick also grew too fast than the other six chicks.
All chicken at that farm laughed at that ugly chick and every day they mocked him.
That ugly chick was so sad. He felt different and ugly and he was so shy of his appearance.
One day, the ugly chick decided to run away from the farm.
He asked the other bird about his kind but there was no bird knew about him. He was more and more sad and lonely.
He walked slowly near the river to get food. He saw his appearance at the river and it was true that he was so ugly and different from the other chicks.
When the ugly chick went alone, a man come and caught him. The man took it home and kept it in a stall.
Every day that man gave some food and water for that ugly chick. He was saved actually but he felt alone inside that stall.
He can see the other chicken outside the stall. He did not understand why that man did not release him outside the stall.
The chick grew bigger and he did not know how long he had been in the stall so far.
He did not know yet how he looked like after he grew bigger.
What he knew was that all chickens on that farm were afraid of him. That made him became more and more sad and felt ugly.
One day, the man released him outside that stall because its stall was not enough for his size.
He can feel a little bit happier because finally he could walk around.
He saw a big and beautiful bird came close to him. That bird was as big as him and has so very beautiful feather. He was afraid and the he run away.
Near the pool at that farm, finally he can see his appearance. He was the same with the big bird he had seen before.
Then he understood that he was not a chicken but a bird. Then he came to that bird and asked about his kind. He told all of his sad stories to that bird.
Finally, he knew that he was a peacock and he was happy because he was not alone and ugly anymore. He was a beautiful peacock with his new family.
Kancil and the Lion
ReplyDeleteOne day, kancil was so thirsty and wanted to drink to the river.
Near the river, he saw a big lion tried to eat a small rat. The rat was so desperate and could not do anything.
Kancil felt pity about him and he actually was also afraid of the lion. But kancil had to help the rat.
He thought hardly and he had an idea. He walked closer to the lion and said hello to them.
Kancil said, “Hi guys, you all looked so happy, what kind of game are you playing now?”
The Lion said, “How dare you come here small animal, who are you? Oh, lucky me, I can also eat you now. I’m so hungry.” The lion roared.
Kancil said, “I’m the king in the jungle. I’m not afraid of anything even human. I will eat everything that made me angry even it is a big animal like you.”
The lion was a little bit doubt about kancil.
He said, “You are a king? I don’t believe you. How come a small animal like you become a king? Can you prove me?”
Kancil said, “Of course you do not know me. You are a new comer here. I am a king and all animal in this jungle respects me because I am a strong animal that has no afraid of anything. You can ask that little rat if you do not believe me.”
The lion said to the rat, “Is that true poor rat?”
The rat already knew that Kancil said a lie and tried to help him.
The rat said, “Yes that is true. He is the king; a very brave king. “
The lion said: “Can you give me a proof? If you lie to me then I will eat you?”
Kancil said, “I eat a lion yesterday and I still save the head in the hole near the river. So, I am not afraid of you. Follow me to see your friend’s head in the hole.”
The lion began to scare. But he is too shy to be looked scared. The lion follow kancil to go to the hole near the river.
Kancil said, “Here we go. I let you see that lion head. But you have to know that I will eat anyone who had seen that head. Just prepare yourself.”
The lion began trembling. He scarily looked inside the hole so that he did not clearly see something in the hole except the shadow of his head.
The lion thought that his shadow was the lion head that had been kept by kancil.
After seeing that hole, the lion run as fast as he could because he was afraid that kancil would eat him.
Kancil and the rat were laughing. There was nothing inside the hole except clear water so if anyone saw that hole in a day they would see their own shadow at the surface of the water.
Malin Kundang
ReplyDeleteLong time ago in one village in Sumatra, there was a mother with a son named Malin Kundang.
They lived in poor condition after the death of Malin’s Father.
Day by day Malin Kundang grew up and he became a young and strong man, brave and had a big dream to be a successful rich man.
He thought if he lived in the village then he would never be a rich man.
One day, Malin Kundang asked for her mother’s blessing to get some job outside his village.
Malin Kundang said, “Mother, we can’t live in this way forever. I want to be a rich man and I want to help you. I don’t want you live in this poorness. Thus, would you let me go to get money at another place? I promise I will be here soon after I get a lot of money.”
Mother said, “If you want to go then you have to go, my son. You are no more a child. You are a young man and you should reach your dream. Forgive your mother who can’t give you everything that you need. I pray for you every day and don’t forget your mother here. You have to go home someday.”
After that Malin Kundang started his journey to get rich.
At first he joined a ship to be a sailor. The captain was a good man and he trained Malin Kundang well to be a good sailor.
Malin Kundang was smart and he could easier learn everything. Malin Kundang assisted the captain to hold his business.
Years by years, the captain became older. He asked Malin Kundang to run his business.
Malin Kundang was also lucky because the captain asked him to marry his daughter.
After that Malin Kundang became the captain and he was very rich. The business was always good.
After Malin Kundang was success, he forgot his promise to go back to his mother. He did not want to remember that he had a poor mother who was waiting for him for a long time.
One day, Malin Kundang anchored his ship at his hometown.
While running his business, he met his neighbor who remembered him. After that his neighbor told Malin Kundang’s mother about the coming of his son.
The mother was very happy. She went to the harbor quickly to see his son.
Unfortunately, Malin Kundang was too shy having mother liked her who looked ugly and poor. So, he rejected his mother.
The mother was so sad and her heart was broken because her lovely son did not want to recognize her as his mother.
She was so disappointed and she said a curse for her son and all people belonged to her son.
The mother said, “Oh my dear son, how dare you to be like this to your mother. If you really do not want to hear me, then you are really a stone. You and your belonging are stones.”
After the mother was saying that, Malin Kundang, his wife, and all of his belongings became stones which stayed forever at that harbor silently and irremovable forever as well as stone statues.

Talking about the problem appears in Jakarta, there are 3 problems that identify this city, and those are flood, pollution, and traffic congestion beside some other problems like criminality and corruption.
Every year in rainy season, some parts of Jakarta are always flooded due to the high number of waste pollution.
Besides that, the high amount of cars and other personal motor vehicles make all of the streets in Jakarta become stuck with long line of cars waiting to pass through.

The existence is actually important to the chain of food. The fly is the prey for other animal such as dragon fly, frog, and lizard and so on.
In spite of that, the larva is important for its function as decomposer and scavengers with the consumption of decaying matter.
It means that the existence of fly is important in agriculture and animal husbandry.
In other word, the position of fly is very important for the live of the whole living creature including human being.
But in human culture, the existence of fly is seen as an annoyance as the fly brings bad bacterial which some way dangerous for human.
Besides of that negative effect for human healthy, the fly actually gives human some opportunities to make money.
There are some products such as pesticides, glue, electrical racket and more to kill the fly and this means that the production of that products absorbs the labours or in other word gives some job for peoples.

Eagle Bird
ReplyDeleteFor thousands of years birds became one of the important animals in human culture. Many people keep birds as pet, breed it, and make money from it.
Some of birds are easily to breed and some others such as eagle or the other rare birds are not.
People usually get the rare kinds of bird by hunting from the wild. This hunting activity makes the population of some birds more and rarer.
Eagle is one of them that become rare because of the human hunting activities.
Eagle becomes one of the most expensive birds whether it is dead or alive. Human likes to collect it because of some reason such us the feeling of being proud when he has it.
In general, eagle is a big and powerful bird of prey. It has a big and strong hooked beaks to rip the flesh of its pray, wide and strong wings, muscular legs and talons to bring the prey from the ground to its nest.
Eagle has very good eyes which can see the prey from the very long distance.
The pupils of its eyes are large which ensure minimal diffraction of the incoming light so that it can see clearly the prey even from the high sky in a day.
Eagle eats any kinds of prey which is smaller than it such as rabbit, rat, birds, and snakes and so on.
Before the eagle starts to pounce the prey, usually the eagle flies around above the prey to have the right moment to catch the prey.
The big eagle such as bald eagle can bring the 6, 8 kg of prey and fly to the top of the tree to rip and eat it.
Eagle is the predator which is at the top rank of food chain. Thus, there is no other animal can hunt it except human.
Eagle creates the nest at the top of the highest tree at its habitat.
Female eagle is bigger than the male. The female only have two eggs in a session of breeding time.
When the eggs have cracked, usually the bigger and dominant chick is the female and sometimes the chick will kill its brother in some case. Thus, the eagle is truly predator since it was born.
Aloe Vera
ReplyDeleteAloe Vera is a tropical plant that easy to keep as outdoor plant and pottet plant. It can grow easily when it gets enough water in a fertile soil.
Aloe Vera is also known as immortal plant as long as it never lacks of water.
Formerly, this plant is well known to use for treathening damage hair and skin. But today, some research show that this plant has so many functions especially in medical uses and beauty uses.
Based on the researchs about the function of aloe vera, some of them show that aloe vera has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties in which in can be used to heal wounds and the extract of it can be used as food supplement to restrain cancer even this case is still in debate.
The gel of aloe vera is also used to protects the skin from ulraviolet irradiation and also heal the skin damage after radiation therapy.
However, the use of aloe vera for skin was already implemented before scientific research explains about it.
The traditional use of aloe vera is to heal the hair damage and this case is still implemented until today. Thus, many products of hair treatment use aloe vera as the main inggredients.
Not only for hair product, the gel of aloe vera is also used to toothpaste as aloe vera contains antibacteria which is also good in fighting oral bacteria.
Robot
ReplyDeleteBasically, robot is a machine. But what makes it special is that robot is a programmable machine by computer to do a series of action which is used for some purpose. The idea of creating robot is to help human to make easy life.
Nowadays, the kinds and the specification of robots are various. There are robots for war, robot to work, robot to secure, and so on.
Robot can be used to overcome the limit of human being in doing something and usually it refers to something dangerous.
For example, to understand the whole solar system outside the earth, robot can be created and programmed for a specific duty to get any information such as collects the data about any materials in Mars.
Robot can do this easily and better than human because robot only needs one energy sources such as atomic battery while human still need water, food, and oxygen to be survived on the alien lands.
Thus, robot is perhaps the most important modern technology creature after machine and computer to help human get better life.
Even though, there are still some debates about the existence of some robot in which it is considered as something bad such as soldier robot.
Perhaps this case is easy to be understood by watching Robocop movie in which robot has no heart, moral, desire and perspective to understand human as the way human does.
Laptop
ReplyDeleteLaptop is a portable small personal computer in which it is design to be able to bring easily and to use anywhere.
Before laptop was created, all of us use the computer using big monitor. This kind of computer is strong, surely, but it does not have flexibility like laptop.
Laptop is also called as notebook which is also function as the replacement of books.
Before laptop was created, people used books or the real notebook to do their work. And in the era of laptop, the uses of real books are rare.
Laptop is made and arranged by using the combination of components such as LCD monitor screen, keyboard, small speaker, input and output, hard disk drive, optical disk drive (only for 12 inch or more old design laptop), processor, memory, camera (most of 2016 laptop has integrated webcam and build-in microphones and some of them has touchscreen technology), internal battery or by external power supply using adapter.
To choose or buy laptop is a challenge because nowadays there are so many kinds of types, specification, price, and also the brand in which people must have idea or plan before buying laptop.
Usually, most people planning to buy laptop based on their budged and the use of that laptop to get the right specification.
But there are also some people buying laptop without recognize the price because they need specific type and specification such as laptop for gaming in which this laptop must be strong to be used in a long time without rest.
Bali Volcano
ReplyDeleteUntil today, the mount Agung is still at the state of warning and may explode anytime even it is not yet exploding. Hundreds of tremor are being recorded each day and still happened today.
Since September 22, 2017, all people who live at the radius of 12 km are appealed to evacuate at the evacuation area.
This situation makes many people worry about their live because the former eruption of mount Agung killed thousands of people and disabled the whole people in Bali to do their normal daily activities.
Surely this situation made the economic activities in Bali decrease.
Since September 22, 2017, around 185.000 of refugees from 28 villages at the dangerous zone were evacuated to the evacuation area.
More than months they live in suffer as they cannot do their normal activities.
This will be worse as the mount Agung is not yet exploding. This means that they do not know what to do as they are waiting. It is like if they go back at home they will face the death, but if they do not go back they will ‘die slowly’.
There is no better choice for that situation.
Mount eruption is perhaps the worst disaster in which people will suffer for long time before and after the disaster.
Of course, this is different from earth quake or tsunami disaster for example, in which those happen in short time and after that people have clear plan to do something to be survived after the disaster.
Aurora
ReplyDeleteAurora is a natural phenomena that refers to northern light, southern light and polar light. It is a colorful natural light display that appears in the sky at the evening and the night, seen in the sky of Arctic and Antartic region.

The aurora has complex mix color that will change everyday. The beauty is surely a thousand times better than fireworks in the new year time.
That is why some people dreamed to see it.
Unfortunately, the way to see it at the arctic and antartic regions is too much risky and dangerous and perhaps only a few people can do this including some experts and researchers.
The detail explanation on this phenomena is not fully understood, but the cause of aurora is basically involves the interaction between the solar wind with the earth’s magnetosphere.
First, the storms on the sun send gust of charged solar particle. When the earth is in the path of that particle stream, then the erath’s magnetosphere reacts.
At that time, the earth electrons move to higher-energy orbits or further away from the nucleus. After that, the electrons move back to a lower-energy orbit.
This process will release the particle light or photon which creates aurora.
Ceremony
ReplyDeleteOne of social phenomenas in Java is Kenduri that is a form of traditional ceremony which is still implemented until today.
Kenduri is a traditional ceremony in which some people gather to pray for the safety and the blessing on the host’s demand.

This ceremony is important to keep the harmony between people.

Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement.

The flight of UAVs may operate with various degrees of autonomy: either under remote control by a human operator, or fully autonomously, by computers. A UAV uses aerodynamic forces to provide vehicle lift and can fly autonomously or be piloted remotely. It can also be expendable or recoverable, and can carry a lethal or nonlethal payload."

Finally we came to home, but I bought a souvenir for my friends like keychains from clam, bracelet, and accessories. We arrived at home on 08.00 p.m I felt very happy can trip to the santolo beach as a favorite beach in garut. I hope I can vacation to another tourist site in the next holiday.

The last holiday I went to my grandma’s home.
ReplyDeleteHer home is quite awesome, so far away from the city and close to the vegetables farm area. My grandma and grandpa are farmers.
I spent two days there and I did so many interesting things in the farm, helping my grandpa planted vegetables.
At the first day, I learned to plant spinach. What I did was moving out the young spinach from the seeding area to the plantation area.
I thougt it was easy, but in fact, it was tiring. I had to move those one by one under the sun. I did that for several hours before launch and continued until afternoon.
In the night, I didn’t want anything except sleeping. I was really tired but it was fun.
I couldn’t wake up in the morning until my grandma knocked at my door. He laughed at me because what I did was not hard actually if compared with the real farmer.
Then, before we went to the farm again, my grandma had prepared for breakfast. After eating I follow my grandpa going to the next field.
We would do daily treatment for the 1 month age spinach. We had to give them enough water and checked if grasshoppers.
At the third day, I had to back home. I was sad to leave my grandma and grandpa. But, that’s fine because the next holiday I would go there and see them again.
Vacation Makes Fish Ponds
At last year holiday I didn’t go anywhere.
I just stay at home for the whole month. It was not too bad to spend the holiday at home because I had something to do. I did a small project building a small fishpond at home.
What I need is river sand, cement, and some tools. I choose the middle space of my yard. After that, I made the design.
Anyway, I would like to keep some koi fish at that fishpond, so that I had to make the design as well as I can. I landscape as the model.
I did it alone, day and night. I was so happy to do that.
After two weeks, I finished it. It was a small beautiful fishpond with nature landscape designed.
Before I put on it some koi fish, I fill the water and waited for about two weeks to make sure that the fishpond was free from poison.
Finally, I bought 5 koi fish and keep them at my new fishpond.
Watching a Movie
My sister and I went to see a film last night. It was an American movie called The Lost Flight. It showed how people can quickly change when they have to look after themselves in the jungle. It was an interesting film about a plane which crashed on a small empty island in the Pacific ocean.
Although the passengers were safe, nobody knew where the plane had crashed. So the passengers had to learn how to hunt for food in the jungle and how to catch fish from the sea to eat. After a few weeks, the passengers were eating raw fish and meat.
After they had been on the island for two months, three of the men made a boat and sailed away to find help. But their boat sank and they were drowned.
The film ended without saying whether the passengers were rescued or not. But my sister and I enjoyed the film.
Travelling Around The World
Deri saved hid money and spent two months travelling around the world. He wrote his journey in his diary. I spent a week in New York and then flew to London and enjoyed several weeks in Europe. When I had seen the sights in Europe, I took a train to Istanbul and visited many places in Asia.
First, I flew from his home in Mexico City to New York City. After through Asia, I went to south America and finally back home to Indonesia. Deri felt tired but he was very excited and wanted to travel again.
Wonderful Holiday in Bali
ReplyDeleteIt was a really great place. The people were friendly, the food was great, and the weather was a lot better than at home. Most days were pretty. I swam two or three times a day, but my brother Fachri just spent all his time lying on the beach with his eyes closed.
Last Saturday I got on the bus and went to the north of the island, it was much quieter there than here-very beautiful, but no tourists. The next day we went across to the old villages. I learned Balinese-I couldn’t say much, but it was fun to try. Fachri actually spoke it quite well, but he was afraid to open his mouth, so I was the one who talked to people.
Going Camping
Last weekend, my friends and I went camping. We reached the camping ground after we walked for about one and a half hour from the parking lot. We built the camp next to a small river. It was getting darker and colder, so we built a fire camp.
The next day, we spent our time observing plantation and insects while the girls were preparing meals. In the afternoon we went to the river and caught some fish for supper. At night, we held a fire camp night. We sang, danced, read poetry, played magic tricks, and even some of us performed a standing comedy.
On Monday, we packed our bags and got ready to go home.
Meeting a Star
On Saturday morning at 9:30, I was walking down Sunda Street, looking for a record store. A man stopped me and asked me the way to the Hyatt Hotel. I wasn’t sure exactly where it was, but walked with him to the end of Sunda Street. He was very friendly, and his face looked so familiar.
Then I remembered where the Hyatt was and told him how to get there. He thanked me and tried to give me something. I thought it was money. I said ‘no’ at first, but he really wanted me to have it, so I took it.
I found the record store and listened to a few records. D’masive had a new record that was number two in the top twenty. I decided to buy it. I looked in my bag for my wallet and found a piece of paper the man gave me. It ws a photo. I was so surprised! He was a singer in D’masive!
My Bad Day on Sunday
I had a terrible day yesterday. First, I woke up an hour late because my alarm clock didn’t go off. Then, I was in such a hurry that I burned my hand when I was making breakfast. After breakfast I got dressed so quickly that I forgot to wear socks.
Next, I ran out of the house trying to get the 9:30 bus, but of course I missed it. I wanted to take a taxi, but I didn’t have enough money. Finally, I walked the three miles to my school only to discover that it was Sunday! I hope I never have a day as the one I had yesterday.(6)

Fishing at The River
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in Junior High School, my father once took me to go fishing with him at the river on Sunday morning. The river lies across our oil palm plantation. We had breakfast first at home and then left early in the morning by motorcycle.
When we arrived in our plantation, my father parked the motorcycle under the hut. He asked me to collect some dry wood and dry grass or leaves. When I already collected enough wood and dry leaves, my father set a fire in the center of the fireplace. He said that the smoke from the fire would scare some dangerous animal like bear and boar to come closer to the hut and so it would make us safer.
After cleaning some wild grass around the hut, my father gave me a hoe and asked me to dig some soil to find worms. When I brought it to my father and we went straight to the river. We put the worm on the fishing hook as a bait to catch the fish.
As a beginner fisher, I cannot apply the worm on the fishing hook well, and it look like it was about to fall of the hook, but my father said that it was okay. I threw the fishing hook into the river and wait for the fish to eat the bait, but nothing happened after a while. When I was about to get bored I saw a big prawn was slowly walking in the water.
I placed the fishing hook slowly into the face of the prawn and move it up and down so the worm seemed alive. I never expected it to happen but suddenly the prawn was move its hand and grabbed the worm on my fishing hook. I lift it very slowly and the prawn was still there hanging tight on the worm until I placed it on the ground and I caught it right away with my hands. My father was so surprise to see it. Before we went home, we cooked it at the hut and enjoyed it together.(18)
My First In Yogyakarta
ReplyDeleteMy family and I went to my grandmother’s house in Yogyakarta last month. It was my first trip to this city. We went there two days after my sister’s graduation ceremony in Semarang. We arrived at Yogyakarta at night. We spent a week staying in my grandmother’s house which is 5 minutes away by foot to Malioboro street.
In the first morning, we were still too tired after a long trip from Semarang to Yogyakarta. So we decided to stay at home to recharge our energy. I walk around the neighbourhood with my sister just to experience hot it is like to be in Yogyakarta. There were too many house, I think, which made the space between a house and the other was so small, even the road was also small that only bicycle and motorcycle can go through.
On the second day, all of us went to Malioboro street. We saw so many merchant with various of product which they claim to be a traditional product of Yogyakarta. I bought some wooden figurine and T-shirt with the word “Yogyakarta” printed on it, while my sister bought some leather handbag. My mom and dad were busy choosing some merchandise to be brought home when we go back.
On the tird day, we went to Taman Sari and Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat to see some historical building in Yogyakarta. We took a lot of picture there. We also took some picture of the building so we can check it again at home. We found some place providing Yogya traditional food around the building and we jumped in right away.
We spent the rest of our week in Yogyakarta by visiting some Shopping Malls such as Jogja City Mall, Malioboro Mall, Hartono Mall and Ambarrukmo Plaza. We realized that Yogyakarta turned out to be very warm during the day, that was the reason why we decided to spend more time in air conditioned building like this.(19)
Lazy Day
ReplyDeleteLast weekend I spent all day laying on my bed. It was just like the Lazy Song by Bruno Mars, “today” I don’t feel like doing anything” hehe. Bur sometimes doing nothing was just smething that we needed the most, especially after a long and super exhausted week at the office.
It was Sunday and I woke up at 9 a.m in the morning. I looked around me and I saw new comic book that I just bought yesterday laying next to my Macbook. I try to dragged it closer to me by using my foot, and then I pick it with my hand.
I opened the fridge and I found a bottle full of chill orange juice. I opened the bottle and pour the orange juice into a glass. When checked my fridge, I saw that I still have a leftover Pizza from yesterday, so I decided to reheat it in my microwave. So I sat in the kitchen for a while waiting the Pizza to be ready.
When the timer of the microwave is off, I pick the Pizza up and put it on my plate. I took my orange juice and my Pizza and brought them back into my lair. I enjoy the Pizza and the orange juice and continue reading my comic book.
After that I decided to whatch my favourite K-drama on my Macbook, so I set my portable laptop desk on my bed. This way, I can watch my favourite show without having to leave my super cozy bed.(14)
My Busy Holiday
ReplyDeleteOn 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 neighbour 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 homework 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.(15)
Bro Time
ReplyDeleteAfter year working in Australia, I finally managed to come back to my hometown last month. It is in Cimahi, a city located in the west side of Bandung. I spent a week staying here. During this time at home, I learned that my best friend, Denny, had become a successful medic in the government’s hospital in my hometown. So I called him and we decided to have a “Bro Time” at the weekend.
Denny picked me up at 4 p.m, and he brought me straight to a new waterpark in town which he claimed to be the biggest waterpark in Cimahi. We parked our car in the parking area and walked straight to the entrance gate. There is a ticket counter at the gate and we have to pay Rp 80.000 to get into the waterpark. Denny paid for our ticket, he said it was a treat for me of his first salary as a medic in the hospital. I thanked him.
We handed over the ticket to the gate keeper and the allowed us to enter. After that went to a counter where we took the key for our locker. In this counter, we need to give them something as the assurance if we want to use the locker, so we gave them our car’s key. They said that we will get the car’s key back when we return the locker key.
After that we went to the locker room, where we changed our clothes and get ready to swim. Before we enter the pool, we decided to rent a dual swimming float, the price was Rp.20.000 and I decided to pay it. We brought it to the pool and sat on it.
After that we also swim and took some picture together. After playing in the water for about an hour, we were so hungry and we decided to go to the food court. We order two plates of fried noodle and two cup of ice tea. I paid the food as a treat for Denny. After finishing our food and drinks, we went to the locker room to change our clothes and went back home at 6 p.m.(19)

Traveling Abroad
ReplyDeleteMy first overseas trip was when I went to Thailand with my father. At that moment I was still in Junior High School level and it was a school day off. My father took his trip because he needed a data for his research about the legendary bird “Garuda”, which turned out to be a legend too in Thailand. We spent only 1 day in Thailand, but I already experience a lot of new things.
When we first landed at the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, we got a taxi and asked the driver to take us to Windsor Suites Hotel located on Sukhumvit Road. We went straight to the receptionist and booked a room for tonight and tomorrow. The receptionist gave us a card that we can use as a key to unlock our room. We went to our room and took a quick shower, change our clothes and then went down to the lobby again.
From the lobby, we went out to the street. My father order a ride to a local driver. It locked like a becak motor but a lot bigger and the people called it “tuk-tuk”. My father asked the driver to take us to Chatuchak Market and find us a restaurant that served Halal food for Moslem.
Then we arrived at a small restaurant which turned out to be owned by Indonesian. The owner was very nice, he gave us a free meal when we were about to left his restaurant. He said that it was for our breakfast, just in case we couldn’t find any Halal food at the hotel.
My father thanked him and ask to exchange their phone number. Before we went back to the hotel, my father took me around the Chatucak Market. I saw so many toys that I have never seen before in Indonesia. my father bought me one of those toys, it was rubber chicken. It was so funny, because when we squeeze it, it will make sound just like rooster. After that we went back to the hotel and go to bed.
In the morning, we enjoy free breakfast as the hotel. We had a lot of Halal food to choose. I took a couple glass of free milk for myself. After that my father order an Unber and ask the driver to take us to three archaeological sites in Thailand which were Ayutthaya Historical Park, Ban Non Wat village, and the temple of Prasat Ta Muen Thom.
When we arrived on each destination, my father started collecting the data. While my father was working, I walked around the historical site and took a lot of picture of myself. We finished the job at 5 p.m, and we still have enough time to head back to the hotel, took a quick shower and drove right away to the airport. We went back to Indonesia that night at 9 p.m. my father and I were exhausted but I was so happy.(28)
Vocation to Mutun Beach
ReplyDeleteOne day my sister named Putri said to me that the 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 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 at 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.(13)
A Trip to Tanjung Setia Beach
ReplyDeleteLast 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 was too windy there during that time but we finally realized 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.(12)
A Creepy Camping
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite things in Junior High School was camping. Once a mount my school held a routine extracurricular that was camping field in my town. Usually the event was at first Saturday night in a month.
One day at the camping time, we all gathered at the school first before we went together at the camping area. We were grouped in teams and each team has its own tent. We went to the camping area by bus. At the afternoon around 4 pm we had already been there. We built our own tent before we continue the activities. After building the tent, bathing, and having a break, we start the rundown of the activities.
One thing I love most was the activity of Jerit Malam (nightmare training). It was held at 10 pm until 1 am in the morning. We all, every team, were scattered into the jungle to find the letters in a bottle. The camping committees had prepared something to frighten us by wearing ghost or zombie costume and chased after us.
Anyway, I was never afraid to that but I was so happy seeing some of my friends screaming and running. I laughed loudly at that event because I think both of the ghost and the victims were totally funny. The ghost or the zombie never frightened us who were not afraid, but they will run after them who were too afraid.
The was so fun experience that I had in Junior High School.(14)
A Trip to Borobudur Temple
ReplyDeleteThree 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.(13)
Visit Jatim Park 2
ReplyDeleteWhat I love most in school is holiday time. I spent my last holiday time visiting my uncle’s home at Malang. I stayed there for 5 days and during that day I visited some tourism places. The most favourite place for me when I was at Malang was Jatim Park II. I loved it because I am an animal lover.
The place is located at Jl.Oro-Oro Ombo no 9, Batu, East Java. It took 20 minutes from my uncle’s home by riding motor cycle.
The ticket to enjoyed the whole part of the park which are animal museum, secret zoo and eco green park is only 90.000 rupiahs. That’s not too expensive for the pleasure I got.
At first I entered the eco green park because this area is closed at 4 pm. The next was animal museum which has a the last was secret zoo, the most pleasurable place for me. Unfortunately, the time was over before I could see the whole part of secret zoo.
Therefore, the next day I went there again for one area only, that was the secret zoo. I could enjoy and kinds of animals around the world which I never seen some of them before.
It was a very nice school holiday that I spent at Malang and Batu city.(12)
Spiderman
ReplyDeleteOne day, when I was fishing at the river I was bitten by a spider and luckily I was not dying. At first I felt cold for 24 hours and I was alone in my room. Nobody knew about it. I didn’t tell my family because I was afraid they would angry with me.
After that, something had happened in my body and I still did not recognize it. I lived as I did usually, went to school, go home, eating, doing some activities and so on. I realized at the first time that I had a super power was when I was getting an accident.
I rode a motor cycle and suddenly there was a bus crashed me. I bounced out of the road and my motor cycle was totally broken. But at the cycle was totally broken. But at that case, I did not feel any hurt. There was no blood out of my body.
I was angry at that time because the bus did not stop and escaped. I run after it and I didn’t know why I could run so fast and jump so high. I jumped to the back of the bus and climbed it like a spider. I went to the front, stooped the bus and took the driver out of the bus door.
I knew that I was no more normal human being. I did nothing more to the bus driver. I went back home and decided the next action to do after that.
I did nothing like the Spiderman at the movie that help people to catch the criminals. I was an opportunist super hero. I was afraid of killing people so that I hide my power from anybody else. I used my power only when I or my family and friends got into dangerous.(16 )
Roro Jonggrang
ReplyDeleteLong time ago, there was a kingdom named Prambanan. All the people of Prambanan lived peacefully. But then, Prambanan kingdom was attacked and occupied by the Pengging kingdom. Prambanan then was ruled by Bandung Bondowoso of Pengging kingdom. He was a mean king. He also had great supernatural power. His soldiers were not only humans, but also genies.
The king of Prambanan had a beautiful daughter named Roro Jonggrang. Bandung Bondowoso fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. “You’re very beautiful. Would you be my queen?” asked Bandung Bondowoso. Roro Jonggrang was shocked. She didn’t like Bandung Bandowoso because he was a mean person. She wanted to refuse, but she afraid that Bandung Bandowoso would be angry and endangered the people of Prambanan. Then, she came up with a plan. “If you want to marry me, you have to build a thousand temples for me in just one night,” said Roro Jonggrang. “What? That’s impossible!” said Bandung Bondowoso. But the did not give up. He consulted with his advisor. “Your Majesty can asked the genies to help built the temples,” said the advisor.
So, Bandung Bondowoso summoned his entire genies soldier and commanded them to help him built a thousand temples. The genies worked in unbelievable speed. Meanwhile, Roro Jonggrang heard from her servant that the building of a thousand temples was almost finished. She was so worried. But again, she came up with a great idea. She asked all of her servants to help her. “Please prepare a lot of straw and mortar. Please hurry up!” said Roro Jonggrang. “Burn the straw and make some noise pounding the mortar, quickly.” All those servants did what Roro Jonggrang ordered them, burning straw and pounding the mortar, making the genies think that the sun is going to rise.
“Its already dawn. We have to go,” said the leader of the genies to Bandung Bondowoso. All the genies immediately stopped their work and ran for cover from the sun, which they afraid of. They didn’t know that burning the straw, not from the sun.
Bandung Bondowoso can’t stop the genies from leaving. He was angry. He knew Roro Jonggrang had just tricked him. “ You cannot fool me, Roro Jonggrang. I already have 999 temples. I just need one more temple. Now, I will make you the one-thousandth temple.”He pointed his finger to Roro Jonggrang and said some mantras. Magically, Roro Jonggrang’s body turned into stone. Until now, the temple is still standing in Prambanan area, Central Java. And the temple is called Roro Jonggrang temple.(29)
Timun Mas
ReplyDeleteLong time ago in the island of Java, Indonesi, lived a couple of farmer. They had married for some years but they had no children. So they prayed to a monster called Buta Ijoto give them children.
Buta ijo was a ferocious and powerful monster. He granted their wish on one condition. Several months later the wife was pregnant.
She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They named Timun Mas. The farmers were happy.
Timun Mas 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 Mas was frightened so she ran away to hide. The farmers then told Buta Ijo that Timun Mas 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 Mas was still a child.
When the third time Buta Ijo came their parents had prepared something for him. They gave Timun Mas several bamboo needles, seeds of cucumber, dressing and salt.
‘Timun, take these things’
‘What are rhese things?’
‘These are your weapons. Buta ijo will chase you. He will eat you alive. So run as fast as you can. And if he will catch you spread this to the ground. Now go!’
Timun Mas was scared so she ran as quickly as she could. When Buta Ijo arrived she was far from home. He was very angry when he relized that his prey had left. So he ran to chase her. He had a sharp nose so he knew what direction his prey ran.
Timun Mas 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 Mas quickly spread the seeds of cucumber. In second 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 Mas could run away.
But soon Buta Ijo realized and started running again. When he was just several steps behind Timun Mas 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 Mas could run farther. Buta Ijo chased her again. When he almost catch her again and again Timun Mas threw her dressing. This time it turned into a lake. Buta Ijo was busy to save himself so Timun Mas ran way. But Buta Ijo could overcome it and continued chasing her.
Finally when Timun Mas was almost caught she threw her salt. Soon the land where Buta Ij stood turned into ocean. Buta Ijo was drowned and died instantly. Timun Mas was thankful to god and came back to her home.(30)
Mouse Deer And Crocodile
ReplyDeleteOne 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 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 crocodile 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.(17)
Cinderella
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time there lived a girl called Cinderella. She was happy live with her father and mother. Until her mother died dead and her father and married a widow with two daughters. Her stepmother didn’t like her one little bit. But, for the poor unhappy girl, there was nothing at all. Her stepmother has two daughters and they were very bossy. No rest and no comfort. She had to work hard all day. Only when evening came was she allowed o sit for a while by the fire, near the cinders. That’s why everybody called her Cinderella.
Cinderella used to spend long hours all alone talking to the cat. The cat always said, “Miaow”, which really meant, “Cheer up! You have something neither of your stepsisters has and that is beauty.” It was quite true. Cinderella, even dressed in old rags, was a lovely girl. While her stepsister, no matter how splendid and elegant their clothes, were still clumsy, lumpy and ugly and ugly and always would be.
One day, beautiful new dresses arrived at the house. A ball was to be held at the palace and the stepsisters were getting ready to go. Cinderella didn’t even dare ask if she could go too. She knew very well what the answer would be: “You? You’re staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub the floors and turn down the beds for your stepsisters.” They will come home tired and very sleepy. Cinderella sighed, “Oh dear, I’m so unhappy!” and the cat murmured “Miaow”.
Suddenly something amazing happened. As Cinderella was sitting all alone, there was a burst of light and a fairy appeared. “Don’t be alarmed, Cinderella,” said the fairy. “I know you would love to go the ball. And so you shall!” “How can I, dressed in rags?” Cinderella replied.
The fairy smiled. With a flick of her magic wand Cinderella found herself wearing the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. “Now for your coach,” said the fairy; “A real lady would never go to a ball on foot! Quick! Get me a pumpkin!” “Oh of course,” said Cinderella, rushing away. Then the fairy turned to the cat. “You, bring me seven mice, and, remember they must be alive!”
Cinderella soon returned with the pumpkin and the cat with seven mice he had caught in the cellar. With a flick of the magic wand the pumpkin turned into a sparkling coach and the mice became six white horses, while the seventh mouse turned into a coachman in a smart uniform and carrying a whip. Cinderella could hardly believe her eyes.
“You shall go to the ball Cinderella. But remember! You must leave at midnight. That is when my spell ends. Your coach will turn back into a pumpkin and the horses will become mice again. You will be dressed in rags and wearing clogs instead of these glass slippers! Do you understand?” Cinderella smiled and said “Yes, I understand!”
Cinderella had a wonderful time at the ball until she heard the first stroke of midnight! She remembered what the fairy had said, and without a word of goodbye she slipped from the Prince’s arms and ran down the steps. As she ran she lost one of her slippers, but not for a moment did she dream of stopping to pick it up! If the last stroke of midnight were to sound… oh… what disaster that would be! Out she fled and vanished into the night.
The Prince, who was now madly in love with her, picked up the slipper and said to his ministers, “Go and search everywhere for the girl whose foot this slipper fits. I will never be content until I find her!” So the ministers tried the slipper on the foot of every girl in the land until only Cinderella was left.
Suddenly the fairy appeared and waved her magic wand. In a flash, Cinderella appeared in a splendid dress, shining with youth and beauty. Her stepmother and stepsisters gaped at her in amazement, and the ministers said, “Come with us Cinderella! The Prince is waiting for you. “So Cinderella married the Prince and lived happily ever.(42)

My Great Day of proposing Girl
ReplyDeleteI woke up at about five o’clock yesterday. It wasn’t a regular day, because I was about to propose a girl. After praying and taking a bat, I had my early breakfast. At about nine o’clock I was in my office but my soul wasn’t there. I was thinking about the lines that I had to say to her.
At one o’clock, I had my lunch but I wasn’t enjoying it either. So, I practiced the lines to almost all girls I met at my lunch. Yes, I was a little bit crazy. Finally, it was three o’clock. I remembered all my lines. I wrapped my works and got ready to pick her up and of course proposed her.
I met her at four o’clock, took a little walk and went to a movie. At seven, we had a romantic dinner. I thought it was the perfect time to ask her to be my wife. Then I said the lines that I practiced the whole afternoon.
She smiled. I reached my pocket to get a ring and put it around her finger. Then she said “yes”. After driven her home I went back to my house.(10)

A Hospital
ReplyDeleteHospital is a place where people a treated for illness or injures.
In modern hospitals, there are two separated entrances and many parts of rooms to treat people dealing with their health. One of these is for patients in need of immediate treatment. It is the emergency entrance. The other entrance is the main entrance of the hospital.
On the ground floor inside the main entrance there are probably a reception area and waiting room, and also an office. On this floor may also be the laundry and the kitchen.

My House
ReplyDeleteHello friends I want to tell you about my house, actually this not my really own house just a rental house. I rented this house since 2 month ago. I rented this house because I continue my study in this town, I prefer rental house than boarding house because in rental house I can be free, I do everything I want without disturbing other people or feel disturbed.
This house is not big, But I think is more than enough for me. There are only three rooms in this house, The are living room, bedroom and kitchen. In living room there are a Television, a table for me to put my note book, printer, and books. In bed room there are bed, cupboard, and refrigerator. You maybe think it is funny, a refrigerator is placed in bedroom, not in kitchen. My kitchen is small, it only enough for cooking utensils (such as frying pan, pan, stove), and eating utensil (plate, spoon, and glass). Near kitchen there is bathroom, and behind my house there is a place for hanging clothes after they are washed.
Fever
ReplyDeleteA fever is also known as a high fever or a high temperature. Actually fever is not by itself an illness. It’s usually a symptom of an underlying condition, most often an infection.
Fever is usually associated with physical discomfort, and most people feel better when a fever is treated. But depending on your age, physical condition, and the underlying cause of your fever, you may or may not require medical treatment for the fever alone. Many experts believe that fever is a natural bodily defense against infection.
Fever is generally not considered dangerous, but hyperthermia can cause dangerous rises in body temperature. This can be due to an extreme temperature associated with heat injury such as heat stroke, side effects of certain medications or illicit drugs, and stroke. With hyperthermia, the body is no longer able to control body temperature.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, an infant younger than 4 months old with a rectal temperature of 100.4 F or above should be immediately brought to a doctor or sent to an emergency room, because it could be a sign of a potentially life-threatening infection.
Flood
ReplyDeleteFlood is a natural event or occurrence where a piece of land (or area) that is usually dry land, suddenly gets submerged under water.
Floods occur at irregular intervals and vary in size, duration and the affected area. Some floods can occur suddenly and recede quickly. Others take days or even months to build and discharge.
When floods happen in an area that people live, the water carries along objects like houses, bridges, cars, furniture and even people. It can wipe away farms, trees and many more heavy items.
Flooding is extremely dangerous and has the potential to wipe away an entire city, coastline or area, and cause extensive damage to life and property.
Sleep
ReplyDeleteSleep is a naturally recurring state of mind characterized by altered consciousness, relatively inhibited sensory activity, inhibition of nearly all voluntary muscles, and reduced interactions with surroundings
Sleep increases an organism’s sensory threshold. In other words, a sleeping creature perceives fewer stimuli. However, it can generally still respond to loud noises and other salient sensory events
Lack of sleep is commonly called sleep deprivation. It tends to cause slower brain waves in the frontal cortex, shortened attention span, higher anxiety, impaired memory, and a grouchy mood. Conversely, a well-rested organism tends to have improved memory and mood
A well-known feature of sleep in humans is the dream, an experience typically recounted in narrative form, which resembles waking life while in progress, but which usually can later be distinguished as fantasy.
Self Discipline
ReplyDeleteSelf discipline is doing something even if you hate it or don’t feel like doing it. Doing something because you enjoy doing it is NOT discipline.
Self discipline is exactly like a muscle. The more you exercise it, the more you get used to it, and the further you can push yourself.
Most people are struggle to have the discipline such as solving trouble waking up in the morning, getting themselves to clean the dishes, finishing reports or projects on time, getting themselves to exercise regularly.
Doing something that you absolutely don’t want to do but that you know is great for you is the ultimate way to express self discipline in its purest form. Keep in mind that you will probably never enjoy doing it, but that if you keep on doing it, the rewards that you will reap will be far beyond the measly little satisfaction that you get by not doing it in the first place.
Javan Tiger
ReplyDeleteThe Javan tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica) is an extinct tiger subspecies that inhabited the Indonesian island of Java until the mid-1970s.
Javan tigers were very small compared to other subspecies of the Asian mainland, but larger in size than Bali tigers. They usually had long and thin stripes, which were slightly more numerous than those of the Sumatran tiger.
The males javan tiger had body length of 248 cm and weighed between 100 and 141 kg. Females were smaller than males and weighed between 75 and 115 kg.
Their nose was long and narrow, occipital plane remarkably narrow and carnassials relatively long. Based on these cranial differences, the Javan tiger was proposed to be assigned to a distinct species, Panthera sondaica.
Earthquake
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves. The seismicity or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time. Earthquakes are measured using observations from seismometers. The moment magnitude is the most common scale on which earthquakes larger than approximately 5 are reported for the entire globe. The more numerous earthquakes smaller than magnitude 5 reported by national seismological observatories are measured mostly on the local magnitude scale, also referred to as the Richter scale.
These two scales are numerically similar over their range of validity. Magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes are mostly almost imperceptible and magnitude 7 and over potentially cause serious damage over large areas, depending on their depth. The largest earthquakes in historic times have been of magnitude slightly over 9, although there is no limit to the possible magnitude. The most recent large earthquake of magnitude 9.0 or larger was a 9.0 magnitude earthquake in Japan in 2011 (as of March 2011), and it was the largest Japanese earthquake since records began. Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale.
The shallower an earthquake, the more damage to structures it causes, all else being equal. At the Earth’s surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. When the epicenter of a large earthquake is located offshore, the seabed may be displaced sufficiently to cause a tsunami. Earthquakes can also trigger landslides, and occasionally volcanic activity.
In its most general sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event — whether natural or caused by humans — that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults, but also by other events such as volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear tests. An earthquake’s point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The epicenter is the point at ground level directly above the hypocenter.
TSUNAMI
ReplyDeleteThe word “tsunami” comes from the Japanese language meaning Great Waves (Tsu: port and Nami: wave). Adapan agreed definition many people is a tsunami is a natural disaster caused by rising sea waves to the mainland at high speeds due to the earthquake centered under the sea. The quake could have been caused by soil erosion, the plates were shifting, volcanic eruptions and who experienced meteor that crashed in the ocean. This usually happens when the tsunami earthquakes exceeding magnitude 7 on the Richter scale. Tsunami is quite dangerous, especially for those who live in Area beach. With great power, he will sweep everything in its path.
When talking about the tsunami, then we would have to start from the cause, namely the earthquake in the ocean. Tsunami always preceded a powerful movement that we commonly call the earthquake. Although it is known that there are various types of this earthquake, but 90% of the tsunami caused by the movement of the plates in the earth that happened to be located in areas of the oceans. It should be also mentioned, the history of tsunamis ever recorded due to the eruption of Krakatoa.
An earthquake in the bowels of the earth will result in the emergence of pressure to the vertical direction so that the bottom of the sea will rise and fall in a short time span. This will then lead to an imbalance in the ocean water which is then pushed into a large wave that moves reached the mainland.
With great power there in the water waves, naturally if the buildings on the mainland can be washed away easily. The tsunami waves propagate at speeds unimaginable. He could reach 500 to 1000 kilometers per hour at sea. And when it reaches the shore, the speed is reduced to 50 to 30 kilometers per hour. Although reduced rapidly, but the pace was able to cause severe damage to humans.
If we look at the tsunami, of course we understand that there is no human intervention in it. Thus, we do not have control to prevent these causes. However, the preparation and maximum vigilance, we can minimize the impact of the tsunami itself. A good example has been shown in Japan. Although prone to tsunamis, but the awareness of people able to reduce the number of victims of the disaster.
Three Fishes
ReplyDeleteOnce, three fishes lived in a pond. One evening, some fishermen passed by the pond and saw the fishes. ‘This pond is full of fish’, they told each other excitedly. ‘We have never fished here before. We must come back tomorrow morning with our nets and catch these fish!’ Then the fishermen left.
When the eldest of the three fishes heard this, he was troubled. He called the other fishes together and said, ‘Did you hear what the fishermen said? We must leave this pond at once. The fishermen will return tomorrow and kill us all!’ The second of the three fishes agreed. ‘You are right’, he said. ‘We must leave the pond.’
But the youngest fish laughed. ‘You are worrying without reason’, he said. ‘We have lived in this pond all our lives, and no fisherman has ever come here. Why should these men return? I am not going anywhere – my luck will keep me safe.’
The eldest of the fishes left the pond at very evening with his entire family. The second fish saw the fishermen coming in the distance early next morning and left the pond at once with all his family. The third fish refused to leave even then.
The fishermen arrived and caught all the fish left in the pond. The third fish’s luck did not help him – he was also caught and killed.
The fish who saw trouble ahead and acted before it arrived as well as the fish who acted as soon as it came both survived. But the fish who relied only on luck and did nothing at all died. So also in life.
Venice
ReplyDeleteVenice is a city in northern Italy. It is the capital of region Veneto. Together with Padua, the city is included in the Padua-Venice Metropolitan Area. Venice has been known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”, “City of Water”, “City of Bridges”, and “The City of Light”. The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.
Venice is world-famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 117 islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old center, the canals serve the function of roads, and every form of transport is on water or on foot.
You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which nowadays is mostly used for tourists, or for weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. Now, most Venetians travel by motorised waterbuses (“vaporetti”) which ply regular routes along the major canals and between the city’s islands. The city also has many private boats. The only gondolas still in common use by Venetians are the traghetti, foot passenger ferries crossing the Grand Canal at certain points without bridges.
You can see the amusing city’s landmarks such as Piazza San Marco, Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, Saint Mark’s Cathedral or villas of the Veneto. The villas of the Veneto, rural residences for nobles during the Republic, are one of the most interesting aspects of Venetian countryside.
They are surrounded by elegant gardens, suitable for fashionable parties of high society. The city is also well known for its beautiful and romantic view, especially at night.

Mobile Phone
ReplyDeleteA mobile phone (also known as a wireless phone, or cellular telephone) is a very small portable radio telephone.
The mobile phone can be used to communicate over long distances without wires. It works by communicating with a nearby base station (also called a "cell site") which connects it to the main phone network. As the mobile phone moves around, if the mobile phone gets too far away from the cell it is connected to, that cell sends a message to another cell to tell the new cell to take over the call. This is called a "hand off," and the call continues with the new cell the phone is connected to. The hand-off is done so well and carefully that the user will usually never even know that the call was transferred to another cell.
As mobile phones became more popular, they began to cost less money, and more people could afford them. Monthly plans became available for rates as low as US$30 or US$40 a month. Cell phones have become so cheap to own that they have mostly replaced pay phones and phone booths except for urban areas with many people.
Telepon Genggam
ReplyDeleteSebuah ponsel (juga dikenal sebagai telepon nirkabel, atau telepon seluler adalah telepon radio portabel sangat kecil.
Telepon selular dapat digunakan untuk berkomunikasi jarak jauh tanpa kabel. Ia terhubung dengan stasiun pangkalan terdekat (juga disebut "situs sel") yang menghubungkannhya ke jaringan telepon utama. Karena ponsel berkembang di seluruh wilayah, jika ponsel terlalu jauh dari sel utama, sel terhubung ke sel yang mengirim pesan ke sel lain untuk memberitahu sel-sel baru untuk mengambil alih panggilan. Ini disebut "takeover," dan panggilan berlanjut dengan sel baru ponsel di mana ponsel terhubung. Pengambilalihan itu dilakukan dengan baik dan hati-hati sehingga pengguna biasanya akan bahkan tidak pernah tahu bahwa panggilan dipindahkan ke sel lain.
Karena ponsel Menjadi lebih populer, mereka menjadi lebih murah, dan lebih banyak orang bisa membelinya. Rencana biaya bulanan pun menjadi tersedia untuk tarif serendah US $ 30 atau US $ 40 per bulan. Ponsel telah Menjadi sangat murah untuk dimiliki sehingga mereka telah sebagian besar mengantikan telepon koin dan telepon umssum kecuali untuk wilayah perkotaan dengan penduduk yang banyak.
ouse-Deer
ReplyDeleteMouse-deer, are small ungulates that make up the family Tragulidae, the only members of the infraorder Tragulina. They are found mostly in forests in South and Southeast Asia, with a single species in the rainforests of Central and West Africa.
Mouse-deer have primitive features, closer to non-ruminants such as pigs. All species in the family lack of horns, but both sexes have elongated canine teeth. These are especially prominent in males, where they project out on either side of the lower jaw, and are used in fights. Their legs are short and thin, which make them lack in agility, but also helps them maintain a smaller profile to aid in running through the dense foliage of their environments.
They are solitary or live in pairs. The young are weaned at three months of age, and reach sexual maturity between five and 10 months. Parental care is relatively limited. Although they lack the types of scent glands found in most other ruminants, they do have a chin gland for marking each other as mates or antagonists, and, in the case of the water chevrotain, anal and preputial glands for marking territory. Their territories are relatively small, on the order of 13–24 hectares (32–59 acres), but neighbors generally ignore each other, rather than compete aggressively.
Drone
ReplyDeleteA drone is an unmanned aircraft. The term drone, more widely used by the public, refers to the resemblance of dumb-looking navigation and loud-and-regular motor sounds to the male bee. Drone is also known as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), as an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), or by several other names.
The flight of UAVs may operate with various degrees of autonomy: either under remote control by a human operator, or fully autonomously, by computers. A UAV uses aerodynamic forces to provide vehicle lift and can fly autonomously or be piloted remotely. It can also be expendable or recoverable, and can carry a lethal or nonlethal payload."
ates
ReplyDeleteBotanically, dates are the fruits which grow on the palm tree belonging to the family of Arecaceae, in the genus: Phoenix, and scientifically named as Phoenix dactylifera. The tree is believed to originate in the lands on the banks of Nile and Euphrates Rivers of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. Date palm is now grown extensively for its edible fruits under warmer climates across all the continents.
The date fruit is a "drupe", in which its outer fleshy part (exocarp and mesocarp) surrounds the seed inside. The fruit is oval to cylindrical in shape, 3–7 cms long, and 2–3 cms diameter, and ripe dates range from golden-yellow, amber, bright-red to deep-brown depending on the cultivar type.
There are many varieties of date palm cultivated. ‘Amir Hajj’, ‘Saidy’, 'Khadrawy' and 'Medjool' are some of the important varieties popular for their rich taste, flavor, and superior quality. Wonderfully delicious, dates are one of the most popular fruits packed with an impressive list of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that are required for normal growth.
Panda
ReplyDeletePanda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a bear species found in the mountains of central and western China. Panda bear is a unique species among other bears because they don’t hibernate. Panda was first discovered by a French naturalist in 1869, which is, then, used as a symbol of global conservation in the World Wildlife Fund logo.
Panda
ReplyDeletePanda (Ailuropoda Melanoleuca) adalah spesies beruang yang ditemukan di pegunungan China tengah dan barat. Panda adalah spesies beruang yang unik di antara beruang lainnya karena mereka tidak berhibrenasi. Panda pertama kali ditemukan oleh seorang naturalis Perancis pada tahun 1869,yang kemduian menjadi simbol konservasi global dengan dijadikan logo World Wildlife Fund.
Panda mirip seperti spesies beruang berukuran besar, memiliki kepala besar, ekor pendek dan moncong panjang dengan hidung besar, yang membuat mereka memeiliki indera penicuman yang sangat baik. Bulu tebal panda berwarna putih krem, dengan bercak hitam besar pada tungkai, bahu, telinga dan hidung, dan deerah di sekitar mata kecil mereka yang khas. 90 persen menu makan panda adalah bambu. Oleh kerna itu, pada memiliki sejumlah adaptasi fisik untuk membantunya mengkonsumsi babmu termasuk perpanjangan tulang pergelangan tangan mereka yang bertindak sedikit seperti ibu jari yang memungkinkan panda untuk berpegangan ke batang bambu. Panda juga memiliki rahang besar dengan otot-otot rahang serta gigi geraham datar yang kuat yang memungkinkan panda untuk menghancurkan batang bambu dan daun dengan mudah untuk mengekstrak nutrisi yang terkandung di dalamnya.
THE SUNFLOWER
ReplyDeleteThe sunflowers are annual plant in the family Asteraceae. They have large flower heads (capitulum). The stem can grow up to 3 meters tall, with a flower head that can be 30 cm wide. Other types of sunflowers include the California Royal Sunflower, which has a burgundy (red + purple) flower head.
The flower head is actually made of hundreds or thousands of tiny flowers called florets. The central florets look like the center of a normal flower, and the outer florets look like yellow petals. All together they make up a "false flower" or pseudanthium. The benefit to the plant is that it is very easily seen by the insects and birds which pollinate it, and it produces thousands of seeds.
The sunflower is the state flower of Kansas. That is why Kansas is sometimes called the Sunflower State. To grow well, sunflowers need full sun. They grow best in fertile, wet, well-drained soil with a lot of mulch. In commercial planting, seeds are planted 45 cm (1.5 ft) apart and 2.5 cm (1 in) deep.
BUNGA MATAHARI
Bunga matahari adalah tanaman tahunan yang masuk dalam keluarga Asteraceae. Mereka memiliki kepala bunga yang besar (capitulum). Batangnya dapat tumbuh hingga setinggi 3 meter, dengan kepala bunga yang dapat melebar hingga 30 cm. Jenis lain dari bunga matahari adalah California Royal Sunflower, yang memiliki burgundy (merah + ungu) pada kepala bunga.
Kepala bunga sebenarnya terbuat dari ratusan atau ribuan bunga kecil yang disebut floret. Pusat kuntum terlihat seperti pusat bunga normal, dan floret luar terlihat seperti kelopak kuning. Mereka semua bersama-sama membuat sebuah " bunga palsu " atau pseudanthium. Manfaat pada tanaman ini adalah hal ini sangat mudah dilihat oleh serangga dan burung yang menyerbukinya dan menghasilkan ribuan biji.
Bunga matahari adalah bunga negara bagian Kansas. Itulah sebabnya Kansas kadang-kadang disebut Negara bunga matahari. Agar tumbuh dengan baik, bunga matahari membutuhkan sinar matahari yang penuh. Mereka tumbuh dengan sangat baik di tanah yang subur, basah, tanah yang kering dengan banyak mulsa. Dalam penanaman komersial, bibit ditanam 45 cm (1,5 ft) terpisah dan 2,5 cm (1 in) di kedalaman.
CHERRY BLOSSOMS / SAKURA
ReplyDeleteCherry blossoms or sakura are cherry trees and their blossoms. Cherry trees are a symbol of spring for Japanese people. Hanami or Flower viewing is a traditional custom in spring to visit some places where sakura are blooming. Japanese people love cherry blossoms, but the origin of this flower is debatable. Some people believe that the flower is from Japan but some others believe that they came from either China or South Korea.
There are 400 different types of cherry trees. They mutate easily. Most of cherry blossom grow in moist low and highland. A place with a little bit moist and protected from sunlight is the best for their natural habitat.
The unique fact of cherry blossom is that their flowers which grow earlier than the leaves. Cherry blossoms have many colors such as white, little pink, and red. Most of the flowers are white or pink with five petals, but there are some flowers with almost a hundred petals.
CHERRY BLOSSOM ATAU SAKURA
Cherry blossom atau sakura adalah pohon ceri berikut bunganya. Pohon ceri adalah simbol musim semi untuk orang Jepang. Hanami atau melihat bunga adalah adat tradisional di musim semi untuk mengunjungi beberapa tempat di mana sakura bermekaran. Orang Jepang menyukai bunga sakura, tapi asal bunga ini masih bisa diperdebatkan. Beberapa orang percaya bahwa bunga ini berasal dari Jepang tetapi beberapa orang lain percaya bahwa mereka berasal dari Cina atau Korea Selatan.
Ada 400 jenis pohon ceri. Mereka bermutasi dengan mudah. Sebagian besar bunga sakura tumbuh di dataran rendah yang lembab dan dataran tinggi. Tempat dengan sedikit lembab dan terlindung dari sinar matahari adalah yang terbaik untuk habitat alami mereka.
Fakta unik dari bunga sakura adalah bunga mereka tumbuh lebih awal dari daunnya. Bunga sakura memiliki banyak warna seperti putih, sedikit merah muda, dan merah. Sebagian besar bunga berwarna putih atau merah muda dengan lima kelopak, tetapi ada beberapa bunga dengan hampir seratus kelopak.
CACTI
ReplyDeleteCacti or cactuses are member of the plant family Cactaceae. The word "cactus" derives from the ancient Greek, kaktos, a name for a spiny plant whose identity is not certain. Cacti occur in a wide range of shapes and sizes.
Most cacti live in extremely dry environments, even being found in the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on earth because cacti can conserve water by doing many adaptions. Almost all cacti have thickened, fleshy parts adapted to store water. Most species of cacti have lost true leaves, retaining only spines, which are highly modified leaves. The spines help prevent water loss by reducing air flow close to the cactus and providing some shade.
Cacti are native to the Americas, ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts of western Canada in the north—except for Rhipsalis baccifera, which also grows in Africa and Sri Lanka. Cacti have a variety of uses: many species are used as ornamental plants and others for food (particularly their fruit).
KAKTUS
Kaktus atau cactuses adalah anggota dari keluarga tanaman Cactaceae. Kata " kaktus " berasal dari bahasa Yunani kuno, kaktos, nama untuk tanaman berduri yang identitasnya tidak pasti. kaktus berlaku dalam berbagai bentuk dan ukuran.
Kebanyakan kaktus hidup di lingkungan yang sangat kering, bahkan yang ditemukan di Gurun Atacama, salah satu tempat paling kering di bumi karena kaktus dapat menghemat air dengan melakukan banyak adaptasi. Hampir semua kaktus telah menebal, bagian yang berdaging diadaptasi untuk menyimpan air. Sebagian besar spesies kaktus telah kehilangan daun sejati, hanya mempertahankan duri, yang sangat termodifikasi daunnya. Duri membantu mencegah kehilangan air dengan mengurangi aliran udara dekat dengan kaktus dan memberikan beberapa naungan.
Kaktus asli dari Amerika, mulai dari Patagonia di selatan ke bagian barat Kanada di utara - kecuali Rhipsalis baccifera, yang juga tumbuh di Afrika dan Sri Lanka. Kaktus memiliki berbagai kegunaan: banyak spesies digunakan sebagai tanaman hias dan lain-lain untuk makanan (terutama buah mereka).
CAMEL
ReplyDeleteThe term camel is derived via Latin and Greek camelus. Camel is an even-toed ungulate within the genus Camelus, bearing distinctive fatty deposits known as "humps" on its back. The two surviving species of camel are the dromedary, or one-humped camel (C. dromedarius), which inhabits the Middle East and the Horn of Africa; and the Bactrian, or two-humped camel (C. bactrianus), which inhabits Central Asia. They provide milk, meat, hair for textiles and are working animals with tasks ranging from human transport to bearing loads.
The camel’s average life span is from 40 to 50 years. An adult camel stands 1.85 m (6 ft 1 in) at the shoulder and 2.15 m (7 ft 1 in) at the hump. Camels can run at up to 65 km/h (40 mph) in short bursts and sustain speeds of up to 40 km/h (25 mph). Bactrian camels weigh 300 to 1,000 kg (660 to 2,200 lb) and dromedaries 300 to 600 kg (660 to 1,320 lb).
The male dromedary camel has in its throat an organ called a dulla, a large, inflatable sac he extrudes from his mouth when in rut to assert dominance and attract females. Camels mate by having both male and female sitting on the ground, with the male mounting from behind. The male usually ejaculates three or four times within a single mating session. Camelids are the only ungulates to mate in a sitting position.
UNTA
Istilah unta ini berasal dari bahasa Latin dan Yunani yaitu camelus. Unta adalah hewan berkuku kaki genap dalam genus Camelus, bantalan deposito lemak yang khas yang dikenal sebagai "punuk" di punggungnya. Dua spesies unta yang masih hidup adalah dromedaris, atau unta berpunuk satu (C. dromedarius), yang mendiami Timur Tengah dan Tanduk Afrika; dan Baktria, atau unta berpunuk dua (C. bactrianus), yang menghuni Asia Tengah. Mereka menghasilkan susu, daging, rambut untuk tekstil dan bekerja dengan tugas-tugas mereka mulai dari transportasi manusia sebagai bantalan beban.
rata-rata umur unta adalah dari 40 hingga 50 tahun. Seekor unta dewasa tingginya 1,85 m (6 ft 1 in) di bahu dan 2.15 m (7 ft 1 in) di punuk. Unta dapat berjalan sampai dengan 65 km / h (40 mph) dalam semburan pendek dan mempertahankan kecepatan hingga 40 km / jam (25 mph). Berat unta Bactrian 300 ke 1.000 kg (660 ke 2.200 lb) dan dromedary 300 sampai 600 kg (660 ke 1.320 lb).
Unta dromedaris laki-laki mempunyai organ di tenggorokannya yang disebut dulla, kantung tiup besar yang keluar dari mulutnya ketika masa berkelamin untuk menegaskan dominasi dan menarik betina. Unta kawin (keduanya laki-laki dan perempuan) dengan duduk di tanah,dimana yang jantan menaiki dari belakang. Ejakulasi unta jantan biasanya tiga atau empat kali dalam sesi kawin tunggal. Camelids adalah satu-satunya unta berkuku yang kawin dalam posisi duduk.
SNAKES
ReplyDeleteSnakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Many species of snakes can swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly flexible jaws. To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung. Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca.
Living snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica, and on smaller land masses. Additionally, snakes which inhabit sea are widespread throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans. More than 20 families are currently recognized, comprising about 500 genera and about 3,400 species. They range in size from the tiny, 10.4 cm-long thread snake to the reticulated python of 6.95 meters (22.8 ft) in length.
Most species are nonvenomous and those that have venom use it primarily to kill prey rather than for self-defense. Some possess venom can cause painful injury or death to humans. Nonvenomous snakes usually swallow their preys alive or kill by constriction.
ULAR
Ular adalah hewan yang memanjang, tanpa kaki, reptil karnivora dari sub-ordo Serpentes. Banyak spesies ular bisa menelan mangsa jauh lebih besar dari kepala mereka dengan rahangnya yang sangat fleksibel. Untuk mengakomodasi tubuh mereka yang sempit, organ ular 'berpasangan (seperti ginjal) muncul satu di depan bukannya berdampingan, dan sebagian besar hanya memiliki satu paru-paru fungsional. Beberapa spesies mempertahankan korset panggul dengan sepasang cakar vestigial di kedua sisi kloaka.
ular hidup ditemukan di setiap benua kecuali Antartika, dan di daratan yang lebih kecil. Selain itu, ular yang menghuni laut yang luas di seluruh Samudra Hindia dan Pasifik. Lebih dari 20 keluarga saat ini diakui, yang terdiri dari sekitar 500 genera dan sekitar 3.400 spesies. Mereka ada dalam berbagai ukuran dari kecil, benang ular 10,4 cm panjang dengan python reticulated dari 6,95 meter (22,8 ft) panjang.
Sebagian besar spesies yang tidak beracun dan yang beracun menggunakan racunnya terutama untuk membunuh mangsa bukan untuk membela diri. Beberapa racun dapat menyebabkan sakit yang menyakitkan atau kematian bagi manusia. Ular yang tak beracun biasanya menelan mangsanya hidup atau membunuh dengan keadaan terdesak.
LION
ReplyDeleteLion is one of the big cats in the genus Panthera and a member of the family Felidae. It is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in sub-Saharan Africa and in India. In ancient historic times, their range was in most of Africa, including North Africa, and across Eurasia from Greece and southeastern Europe to India. But now, the lion is classified as a vulnerable species by the IUCN, having seen a major population decline (30–50% per two decades during the second half of the twentieth century.)
In the wild, males rarely live longer than 10 to 14 years, as injuries sustained from continual fighting with rival males greatly dampen their longevity. In captivity they are ableto live more than 20 years. Eventhough they may take to bush and forest, they typically inhabit savanna and grassland. Groups of female lions typically hunt together. Although they are also expert scavengers obtaining over 50 percent of their food by scavenging as opportunity allows, lions are apex and keystone predators. While lions do not typically hunt humans, some have. Sleeping especially during the day, lions are active primarily at night (nocturnal), although sometimes at twilight (crepuscular).
The male lion is easily identified by its mane, and its face is one of the most considerably identified animal symbols in human culture. Depictions have existed from the Upper Paleolithic periode, It has been widely depicted in paintings, in sculptures, on national flags, and in contemporary films and literature. Since the time of the Roman Empire lions have been kept in menageries, and have been a key species sought for exhibition in zoos over the world since the late eighteenth century. Zoos are cooperating worldwide in breeding programs for the endangered Asiatic subspecies.
SINGA
Singa adalah salah satu kucing besar dari genus Panthera dan anggota keluarga Felidae. Singa adalah kucing hidup terbesar kedua setelah harimau. Singa liar saat ini ada di sub-Sahara Afrika dan di India. Pada zaman kuno, jangkauan mereka adalah di sebagian besar Afrika, termasuk Afrika Utara, dan seluruh Eurasia dari Yunani dan tenggara Eropa ke India. Tapi sekarang, singa diklasifikasikan sebagai spesies yang rentan oleh IUCN, setelah melihat penurunan populasi yang besar (30-50% per dua dekade pada paruh kedua abad kedua puluh.)
Di alam liar, singa jantan jarang hidup lebih lama dari 10 sampai 14 tahun, karena luka yang diderita akibat dari pertempuran yang terus-menerus dengan pejantan saingan sangat meredam umur panjang mereka. Dalam penangkaran mereka ableto hidup lebih dari 20 tahun. Walaupun mereka mungkin hidup di semak dan hutan, mereka biasanya menghuni savana dan padang rumput. Kelompok singa betina biasanya berburu bersama-sama. Meskipun mereka juga pemulung yang ahli memperoleh lebih dari 50 persen dari makanan mereka dengan pembilasan karena kesempatan yang memungkinkan, singa adalah puncak dan batu kunci predator. Sementara singa biasanya tidak memburu manusia, hanya beberapa yang melakukannya. Tidur khususnya di siang hari, singa aktif terutama di malam hari (nokturnal), meskipun kadang-kadang di kala senja.
Singa jantan mudah diidentifikasi oleh jambangnya, dan wajahnya adalah salah satu simbol binatang yang sangat mudah diidentifikasi dalam budaya manusia. Penggambaran telah ada dari periode Paleolitik, Telah banyak digambarkan dalam lukisan, di patung, pada bendera nasional, dan dalam film kontemporer dan sastra. Sejak saat singa Kekaisaran Romawi telah disimpan di menagerie, dan telah menjadi spesies kunci dicari untuk pameran di kebun binatang di seluruh dunia sejak akhir abad kedelapan belas. Kebun Binatang bekerja sama di seluruh dunia dalam program pemuliaan bagi subspesies Asia yang terancam punah.
ELEPHANTS
ReplyDeleteElephants are large mammals of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea. Two species are traditionally identified, the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) and the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), although some evidence suggests that African bush elephants and African forest elephants are separate species (L. africana and L. cyclotis respectively). Male African elephants are the largest extant terrestrial animals and can reach a height of 4 m (13 ft) and weigh 7,000 kg (15,000 lb).
Elephants are herbivorous and can be found in different habitats including forests, deserts, savannas, and marshes. They would rather stay near water. Females ("cows") tend to live in family groups that can consist of one female with her calves or several related females with offspring. The groups are led by an individual known as the matriarch, often the oldest cow. When males ("bulls")reach puberty, they usually leave their family groups, and may live alone or with other males. Elephants communicate by sound, sight, touch, and smell; elephants use infrasound, and seismic communication over long distances. They can live up to 70 years in the wild.
Elephants are usually used as working animals in Asia. In the past they were used in war; today, they are often exploited for entertainment in circuses or controversially put on display in zoos. Elephants are greatly recognizable and have been featured in art, religion, folklore, literature and popular culture.
GAJAH
Gajah adalah mamalia besar dari keluarga Elephantidae dan ordo Proboscidea. Dua spesies yang diidentifikasi secara tradisional, gajah Afrika (Loxodonta africana) dan gajah Asia (Elephas maximus), meskipun beberapa bukti menunjukkan bahwa gajah semak Afrika dan gajah hutan Afrika adalah spesies yang terpisah (L. africana dan L. cyclotis masing-masing). Gajah Afrika laki-laki adalah hewan darat yang terbesar yang masih ada dan dapat mencapai ketinggian 4 m (13 kaki) dan berat 7.000 kg (15.000 lb).
Gajah adalah binatang herbivora dan dapat ditemukan di habitat yang berbeda termasuk hutan, gurun, sabana, dan rawa-rawa. Mereka lebih suka tinggal di dekat air. Si Betina ("sapi"), sebutan untuk gajah betina, cenderung hidup dalam kelompok keluarga, yang dapat terdiri dari satu perempuan atau beberapa betina yang terkait dengan keturunan. Kelompok-kelompok yang dipimpin oleh seorang individu yang dikenal sebagai ibu pemimpin, yaitu betina tertua. Ketika laki-laki ("bulls"), gajah jantan, mencapai pubertas, mereka biasanya meninggalkan kelompok keluarga mereka, dan dapat hidup sendiri atau dengan laki-laki lain. Gajah berkomunikasi dengan suara, penglihatan, sentuhan, dan bau; gajah menggunakan infrasonik, dan komunikasi seismik jarak jauh. Mereka dapat hidup sampai 70 tahun di alam liar.
Gajah biasanya digunakan sebagai hewan pekerja di Asia. Di masa lalu mereka digunakan dalam perang; sekarang, mereka sering dieksploitasi untuk hiburan di sirkus atau dipajang di kebun binatang secara kontroversial. Gajah sangat dikenali dan telah ditampilkan dalam seni, agama, cerita rakyat, sastra dan budaya populer.
Fox and A Cat
ReplyDeleteOne 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 someday, 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.
Rubah dan Seekor Kucing
Suatu hari, kucing dan rubah sedang mengobrol dengan asiknya. Rubah adalah makhluk yang sombong, membual tentang betapa pintarnya dia. “Kenapa, setidaknya aku tahu seratus trik untuk menjauhi musuh kita bersama, anjing”, katanya.
“Saya hanya tahu satu trik untuk menjauh dari anjing”, kata si kucing. “Kamu harus mengajariku beberapa trik mu!”.
ReplyDelete“Baiklah, mungkin suatu hari nanti, ketika aku punya waktu, aku bisa mengajarimu beberapa trik yang sederhana”, jawab si rubah dengan santai.
Sesaat kemudian, mereka mendengar gonggongan sekawanan anjing dari kejauhan, gonggongan tersebut semakin keras, anjing pun datang menuju ke arah mereka! Seketika si kucing berlari ke pohon yang paling dekat dan kemudian naik ke cabang-cabangnya, dan di luar jangkauan anjing. “Ini adalah trik yang aku katakan tadi, satu-satunya yang aku tahu”, kata si kucing. “Mana salah satu dari seratus trikmu yang akan kamu gunakan?”.
Rubah pun duduk diam di bawah pohon, membayangkan trik apa yang harus dia lakukan. Sebelum dia bisa mengambil keputusan, kemudian anjing tiba dan menyergap rubah serta mencabik-cabiknya.
Pesan Moral: Satu rencana yang dilakukan akan lebih baik daripada seratus rencana yang masih diragukan.

The goldsmith worked with all his heart and his ability. He wanted to create the most beautiful necklace in the world because he loved his princess.
ReplyDeleteThe birthday came. People gathered in the palace field. When Prabu and queen appeared, people welcomed them happily. Prabu and his wife waved to their beloved people.
Cheers were louder and louder when the princess appeared with her fabulous pretty face. Everybody admired her beauty. Prabu got up from his chair. A lady gave him a small and glamorous pillow. A wonderful necklace was on it. Prabu took that necklace. “My beloved daughter, today I give this necklace to you. This necklace is a gift from people in this country. They love you so much. They presented it for you to express their happiness, because you have growing to a woman. Please, wear this necklace,” said Prabu.
Princess accepted the necklace. She looked at the necklace in a glance. “I don’t want to accept it! It’s ugly!” shouted the princess. Then she threw the necklace. The beautiful necklace was broken. The gold and jewels were spread out on the floor
Everybody couldn’t say anything. They never thought that their beloved princess would do that cruel thing. Nobody spoke. In their silence people heard the queen crying. Every woman felt sad and began crying too. Then everybody was crying.
Then there was a miracle. Earth was crying. Suddenly, from the under ground, a spring emerged. It made a pool of water. The palace was getting full. Soon the place became a big lake. The lake sank all of the kingdom.
Nowadays the water on that lake is not as full as before. There is only a small lake now. People called the lake “Talaga Warna”. It is mean “Lake of Colour”. It’s located in Puncak, West Java. On a bright day, the lake is full of colour. So beautiful and amazing. These colors come from shadows of forest, plants, flowers, and sky around the lake. But some people said that the colours are from the princess’s necklace, which spreads at the bottom of the lake.
Terjemahan The Legend of Telaga Warna
ReplyDeleteSudah lama, ada sebuah kerajaan di Jawa Barat. Kerajaan diperintah oleh seorang raja. Orang memanggil raja mereka Yang Mulia Prabu. Prabu adalah raja yang baik dan bijak. Tak heran jika negara itu makmur. Tidak ada kelaparan di kerajaan ini.
Kondisi itu sangat membahagiakan. Tapi sayang sekali Prabu dan ratu tidak punya anak. Hal itu membuat pasangan bangsawan itu sangat, sangat sedih. Beberapa pria tua dan wanita yang dihormati Prabu menyarankan raja untuk mengadopsi anak. Tapi Prabu dan ratu tidak setuju. “Tidak terima kasih. Tapi bagi kita, anak perempuan atau anak kita sendiri lebih baik daripada anak angkat. ”
Ratu sangat sedih. Dia sering menangis. Karena itulah Prabu memutuskan untuk pergi. Dia pergi ke hutan. Di sana dia berdoa kepada Tuhan. Setiap hari dia memohon untuk seorang anak. Mimpinya menjadi kenyataan. Beberapa bulan kemudian, sang ratu hamil. Semua orang di kerajaan merasa bahagia. Mereka mengirim banyak hadiah ke istana untuk mengungkapkan kebahagiaan mereka.
Sembilan bulan kemudian seorang putri lahir. Orang-orang mengirimkan hadiah mereka lagi sebagai hadiah kepada seorang putri kecil. Bayi ini tumbuh sebagai remaja yang cantik saat itu.
Prabu dan Ratu sangat mencintai putri mereka. Mereka memberi apa yang dia inginkan. Itu membuat Putri menjadi gadis yang sangat manja. Bila keinginannya tidak bisa direalisasikan, dia menjadi sangat marah. Dia bahkan sering mengatakan hal buruk. Seorang putri sejati tidak akan melakukan itu. Meskipun sang putri berperilaku buruk, orang tuanya mencintainya, demikian juga orang-orang di kerajaan itu.
Hari demi hari, sang putri tumbuh lebih cantik. Tidak ada gadis yang bisa dibandingkan dengannya. Dalam beberapa hari, Putri akan berusia 17 tahun. Jadi, orang-orang dari kerajaan itu pergi ke istana. Mereka membawa banyak hadiah untuknya. Hadiah hadiah mereka sangat indah. Prabu mengumpulkan hadiahnya. Ada banyak hadiah. Kemudian Prabu menyimpannya di sebuah gedung. Beberapa kali dia bisa membawa mereka untuk diberikan kepada bangsanya.
ReplyDeletePrabu hanya mengambil emas dan permata. Lalu dia membawa mereka ke tukang emas. “Tolong buat kalung yang indah untuk anak perempuan saya,” kata Prabu. “Kesenangan saya, Yang Mulia,” jawab tukang emas itu. Tukang emas bekerja dengan sepenuh hati dan kemampuannya. Ia ingin menciptakan kalung terindah di dunia karena ia mencintai sang putri.
Ulang tahun datang. Orang-orang berkumpul di istana. Saat Prabu dan ratu muncul, orang menyambut mereka dengan gembira. Prabu dan istrinya melambai kepada orang-orang yang mereka cintai.
Ceria lebih nyaring dan nyaring saat sang putri muncul dengan wajah cantiknya yang cantik. Semua orang mengagumi kecantikannya. Prabu bangkit dari kursinya. Seorang wanita memberinya bantal kecil dan glamor. Kalung yang indah ada di atasnya. Prabu mengambil kalung itu. “Putri kesayangan saya, hari ini saya berikan kalung ini untuk anda. Kalung ini merupakan anugerah dari orang-orang di negeri ini. Mereka sangat mencintaimu. Mereka mempresentasikannya untuk Anda mengungkapkan kebahagiaan mereka, karena Anda telah menumbuhkan seorang wanita. Tolong pakai kalung ini, “kata Prabu.
Putri menerima kalung itu. Dia menatap kalung itu sekilas. “Saya tidak mau menerimanya! Ini jelek! “Teriak sang putri. Lalu ia melemparkan kalung itu. Kalung yang indah itu pecah. Emas dan permata itu tersebar di lantai
ReplyDeleteSemua orang tidak bisa mengatakan apa-apa. Mereka tidak pernah berpikir bahwa putri tercinta mereka akan melakukan hal yang kejam itu. Tidak ada yang berbicara. Dalam kesunyian mereka mendengar ratu itu menangis. Setiap wanita merasa sedih dan mulai menangis juga. Lalu semua orang menangis.
Lalu ada keajaiban. Bumi sedang menangis. Tiba-tiba, dari bawah tanah, muncul sebuah mata air. Itu membuat genangan air. Istana semakin penuh. Tak lama kemudian tempat itu menjadi danau besar. Danau itu menenggelamkan seluruh kerajaan.
Saat ini air di danau itu tidak semulus sebelumnya. Hanya ada satu danau kecil sekarang. Orang menyebut danau “Talaga Warna”. Ini berarti “Danau Warna”. Terletak di Puncak, Jawa Barat. Pada hari yang cerah, danau ini penuh dengan warna. Begitu indah dan menakjubkan. Warna-warna ini berasal dari bayang-bayang hutan, tanaman, bunga, dan langit disekitar danau. Tetapi beberapa orang mengatakan bahwa warnanya berasal dari kalung sang putri, yang menyebar di dasar danau.
Putri Gading Cempaka
ReplyDeletePada jaman dahulu kala, hiduplah raja yang hebat di Bengkulu. Nama nya adalah raja Ratu Agung. Dia memimpin kerajaan Sungai Serut selama bertahun-tahun dan selama masa itu, orang-orang di kerajaan itu hidup dengan damai dan makmur. Sang raja memiliki tujuh orang anak. Anak yang terakhir adalah anak perempuan satu-satu nya di keluarga itu dan nama nya adalah Putri Gading Cempaka.
Putri Gading Cempaka sangatlah cantik dan baik. Ada begitu banyak pria dari golongan bangsawan datang ke kerajaan mereka untuk melamar sang putri namun ayah nya, sang raja Ratu Agung, menolak mereka semua karena bagi nya Putri Gading Cempaka masih terlalu muda untuk menikah.
Thesis
ReplyDeleteThe National examination result will be publicly enounced in next short time. Euphoria will flood for those who get success. In the other hand, It will be sorry to hear that there are some of them do not succeed in their national final examination. For those who succeed soon will think to decide; where will they be after graduating high school? Actually it will be easy to decide for those has been arranged and thought earlier but for those have not planed yet, it will be quite confusing.
Argument 1
Continuing study or looking for work is the primary choice among them. When they think about continuing study, they will think hard about the time and cost. How long the higher study will last? And how high is about the cost. In the same way, when they think about straightly seeking job, what skill and competence they have got is a big matter of questioning. So, doing both choices in the same time is an alternative.
Argument 2
Continuing study as well as seeking job is possibly done but it will be hard for them. Conventionally studying in the university needs much time to spend especially in the first year. It is true because they have to do and adapt a lot of things in their new higher school. it will be very hard to looking for job. Therefore it should come to their mind of continuing studying at higher school from their own home. As result, the available time will be more flexible for them. Then it will be very possible to seek job and get the appropriate one. This type of studying is publicly known as distance learning.
Recommendation
As the alternative method of studying, besides the conventional studying which students and the lecturer have to meet in the fixed time and place regularly, distance learning provides possibility to grow better. Possibly working and studying surely will create high quality graduate. Distance learning should appear as a considerable choice for them.
Terjemahan
Tesis
Hasil pemeriksaan nasional akan diumumkan secara terbuka dalam waktu dekat. Euforia akan membanjiri mereka yang sukses. Di sisi lain, akan sangat menyesal mendengar ada beberapa dari mereka yang tidak berhasil dalam ujian akhir nasional mereka. Bagi mereka yang sukses segera akan berpikir untuk memutuskan; di mana mereka akan setelah lulus SMA? Sebenarnya akan mudah untuk memutuskan yang telah diatur dan dipikirkan sebelumnya tapi untuk yang belum direncanakan, itu akan sangat membingungkan.
Argumen 1
Melanjutkan studi atau mencari pekerjaan adalah pilihan utama di antara mereka. Ketika mereka memikirkan melanjutkan studi, mereka akan berpikir keras tentang waktu dan biaya. Berapa lama studi yang lebih tinggi akan berlangsung? Dan seberapa tinggi biaya. Dengan cara yang sama, ketika mereka berpikir untuk secara langsung mencari pekerjaan, keahlian dan kompetensi apa yang mereka dapatkan adalah masalah besar untuk ditanyai. Jadi, melakukan kedua pilihan sekaligus merupakan alternatif.
Argumen 2
Melanjutkan studi sekaligus mencari pekerjaan mungkin dilakukan namun akan sulit bagi mereka. Belajar konvensional di universitas membutuhkan banyak waktu untuk dibelanjakan terutama di tahun pertama. Memang benar karena mereka harus melakukan dan menyesuaikan banyak hal di sekolah tinggi baru mereka. akan sangat sulit mencari pekerjaan. Oleh karena itu, sebaiknya mulai belajar di sekolah tinggi dari rumah mereka sendiri. Akibatnya, waktu yang tersedia akan lebih fleksibel bagi mereka. Maka akan sangat mungkin untuk mencari pekerjaan dan mendapatkan yang sesuai. Jenis pembelajaran ini dikenal sebagai pembelajaran jarak jauh.
Rekomendasi
Sebagai metode alternatif untuk belajar, selain pembelajaran konvensional yang harus dilakukan oleh para siswa dan dosen dalam waktu dan tempat yang tetap, pembelajaran jarak jauh memberikan kemungkinan untuk tumbuh lebih baik. Mungkin bekerja dan belajar pasti akan menciptakan lulusan berkualitas tinggi. Pembelajaran jarak jauh seharusnya menjadi pilihan yang tepat bagi mereka.

It was a really great place. The people were friendly, the food was great, and the weather was a lot better than at home. Most days were pretty. I swam two or three times a day, but my brother Fachri just spent all his time lying on the beach with his eyes closed.
ReplyDeleteLast Saturday I got on the bus and went to the north of the island, it was much quieter there than here-very beautiful, but no tourists. The next day we went across to the old villages. I learned Balinese-I couldn’t say much, but it was fun to try. Fachri actually spoke it quite well, but he was afraid to open his mouth, so I was the one who talked to people.
Going Camping
Last weekend, my friends and I went camping. We reached the camping ground after we walked for about one and a half hour from the parking lot. We built the camp next to a small river. It was getting darker and colder, so we built a fire camp.
The next day, we spent our time observing plantation and insects while the girls were preparing meals. In the afternoon we went to the river and caught some fish for supper. At night, we held a fire camp night. We sang, danced, read poetry, played magic tricks, and even some of us performed a standing comedy.
On Monday, we packed our bags and got ready to go home.
Meeting a Star
On Saturday morning at 9:30, I was walking down Sunda Street, looking for a record store. A man stopped me and asked me the way to the Hyatt Hotel. I wasn’t sure exactly where it was, but walked with him to the end of Sunda Street. He was very friendly, and his face looked so familiar.
Then I remembered where the Hyatt was and told him how to get there. He thanked me and tried to give me something. I thought it was money. I said ‘no’ at first, but he really wanted me to have it, so I took it.
I found the record store and listened to a few records. D’masive had a new record that was number two in the top twenty. I decided to buy it. I looked in my bag for my wallet and found a piece of paper the man gave me. It ws a photo. I was so surprised! He was a singer in D’masive!
My Bad Day on Sunday
I had a terrible day yesterday. First, I woke up an hour late because my alarm clock didn’t go off. Then, I was in such a hurry that I burned my hand when I was making breakfast. After breakfast I got dressed so quickly that I forgot to wear socks.
Next, I ran out of the house trying to get the 9:30 bus, but of course I missed it. I wanted to take a taxi, but I didn’t have enough money. Finally, I walked the three miles to my school only to discover that it was Sunday! I hope I never have a day as the one I had yesterday.(6)
The last holiday I went to my grandma’s home.
Her home is quite awesome, so far away from the city and close to the vegetables farm area. My grandma and grandpa are farmers.
I spent two days there and I did so many interesting things in the farm, helping my grandpa planted vegetables.
At the first day, I learned to plant spinach. What I did was moving out the young spinach from the seeding area to the plantation area.
I thougt it was easy, but in fact, it was tiring. I had to move those one by one under the sun. I did that for several hours before launch and continued until afternoon.
In the night, I didn’t want anything except sleeping. I was really tired but it was fun.
I couldn’t wake up in the morning until my grandma knocked at my door. He laughed at me because what I did was not hard actually if compared with the real farmer.
Then, before we went to the farm again, my grandma had prepared for breakfast. After eating I follow my grandpa going to the next field.

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.
ReplyDeleteThen 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.

ReplyDeleteCerita rakyat from West Java
Prabu Tapa Agung had led a kingdom in West Java for a long time. He was getting old and therefore wanted to choose a successor. But unfortunately, he had no son. He thought of choosing one of his daughters, Purbararang and Purbasari. But it wasn’t an easy choice. They were both very pretty and smart. The only difference was their temperament. Purbararang was rude and dishonest, while Purbasari was kind and caring. With those considerations, Prabu Tapa Agung finally chose Purbasari to be his successor.
Purbararang didn’t agree with her father’s decision. “It’s supposed to be me, Father. I’m the eldest daughter!” Purbararang said. Prabu Tapa Agung smiled. “Purbararang, to be a queen takes more than age. There are many other qualities that one must possess,” explained Prabu Tapa Agung wisely. “What does Purbasari have that I don’t?” Purbararang pouted. “You’ll find out when Purbasari has replaced me,” Prabu Tapa Agung answered.
After the discussion, Purbararang went back to her room. “Is there something wrong?” asked Indrajaya. Indrajaya is Purbararang’s future husband. “I’m upset! Father chose Purbasari as his successor and not me! I have to do something!” Purbararang said. Driven mad by her anger, she came to a witch and asked her to send rash all over Purbasari’s body. Before going to bed, Purbasari started to feel itch all over her body. She tried applying powder to her body, but it’s no use. Instead, the itching grew even worse. She didn’t want to scratch it, but she just couldn’t help it. In the next morning, there were scratch mark all over Purbasari’s body. “What happened to you?” asked Purbararang, pretending to be concerned. “I don’t know, sis. Last night, my body suddenly felt very itchy. I scratched and scratched, and this is what happened,” Purbasari answered. Purbararang shook her head. “You must have done something really awful. You’ve been punished by the gods!”

ReplyDeleteThat day, the whole kingdom was scandalized. “What have you done, Purbasari?” demanded Prabu Tapa Agung. Purbasari shook her head. “I didn’t do anything that would upset the gods, Father,” she answered. “Then how can you explain what happened to your body?” Prabu Tapa Agung asked again. “If you don’t confess, I’ll banish you to the woods.” Purbasari took a deep breath. “Like I said before, I didn’t do anything wrong. And I’d rather be thrown into the woods than to confess to a deed I didn’t commit.”
After a short discussion with his advisor, Prabu Tapa Agung ordered Purbasari to be moved to the woods. Purbasari was very sad, but she couldn’t do anything to defy her father’s order. She was accompanied to the woods by a messenger. He built a simple hut for Purbasari. After the messenger left, suddenly a black monkey came to Purbasari’s hut. He carried a bunch of bananas. From behind him, some animals looked on. “Are the bananas for me?’ Purbasari asked. The black monkey nodded, as if he understood what Purbasari said. Purbasari took the bananas with pleasure. She also said thanks. The other animals that were looking on also seemed to smile. “Are you willing to be my friend?” Purbasari asked them. All the animals nodded happily. Although she was living by herself in the woods, Purbasari never lacked of supplies. Everyday, there were always animals bringing her fruits and fish to eat.
A long time had passed since Purbasari was banished to the woods, but her body still itched. At some places, her skin was even ulcerating. What am I supposed to do?” Purbasari sighed. The monkey who was sitting next to her stayed still, there were tears in his eyes. He hoped Purbasari would remain patient and strong.
One night, on a full moon, the monkey took Purbasari to a valley. There is a pond with hot spring water. The monkey suddenly spoke, “The water of this pond will heal your skin,” he said. Purbasari was surprised, ”You can talk? Who are you?” she asked. “You’ll find out, in time,” the monkey said. Purbasari didn’t want to force the monkey. She then walked to the pond. She bathed there. After a few hours, Purbasari walked out of the pond. She was shocked to see her face reflected on the clear pond water. Her face was beautiful again, with smooth and clean skin. Purbasari observed her entire body. There were no traces of any skin ailments. “I’m cured! I’m cured!” Purbasari shouted in joy. She quickly offered thanks to the gods and also to the monkey.

ReplyDeleteHari semakin gelap dan bawang putih menemukan sebuah rumah. Karena sangat lelah, ia memutuskan untuk beristirahat sejenak di rumah tersebut. Ternyata, di dalamnya tinggal seorang nenek yang sebelumnya sudah menemukan baju milik ibu bawang putih. Sang nenek ingin mengembalikan baju tersebut kepada bawang putih, dengan syarat bawang putih harus menemaninya selama seminggu. Bawang putih begitu iba dengan nenek tersebut, dan ia setuju untuk tinggal bersama sang nenek selama seminggu. Dalam waktu satu minggu, ia membuat nenek tersebut amat gembira karena bekerja dengan rajin dan tidak pernah mengeluh.
Setelah bawang putih menemani sang nenek selama seminggu, ia diberikan satu buah labu sebagai hadiah. Ketika membuka labu tersebut, ia sangat terkejut karena didalamnya terdapat emas dan permata yang begitu banyak. Ia segera pulang dan memberitahukan kejadian tersebut kepada sang ibu dan juga bawang merah. Namun, emas dan permata yang ia dapatkan segera direbut dan ia dipaksa untuk memberitahukan dimana perhiasan tersebut dapat diperoleh. Bawang putih segera mengatakan bahwa ia mendapatkannya dari seorang nenek yang tinggal di dekat sungai.
Esok hari, bawang merah datang ke rumah nenek tersebut dan tinggal selama satu minggu. Namun, karena bawang merah adalah gadis yang malas, maka sang nenek memberikannya labu yang berbeda dari bawang putih. Bawang merah tidak peduli dan ia segera pulang dan membuka labu tersebut bersama ibunya. Ternyata, isi labu tersebut bukanlah permata atau emas, namun ular berbisa yang menggigit bawang merah dan ibunya. Kedua orang tersebut meninggal karena keserakahannya.
Bawang putih kini hidup sendiri namun ia lebih tenang karena tidak ada lagi orang yang menganggunya. Ia hidup bahagia dengan emas dan permata yang dimilikinya.

Setiap hari sang raja memakan seorang manusia yang dibawa oleh Patih Jugul Muda. Sebagian kecil dari rakyat yang resah dan ketakutan mengungsi secara diam-diam ke daerah lain.
Di dusun Medang Kawit ada seorang pemuda bernama Aji Saka yang sakti, rajin dan baik hati. Suatu hari, Aji Saka berhasil menolong seorang bapak tua yang sedang dipukuli oleh dua orang penyamun. Bapak tua yang akhirnya diangkat ayah oleh Aji Saka itu ternyata pengungsi dari Medang Kamulan. Mendengar cerita tentang kebuasan Prabu Dewata Cengkar, Aji Saka berniat menolong rakyat Medang Kamulan. Dengan mengenakan serban di kepala Aji Saka berangkat ke Medang Kamulan.
Perjalanan menuju Medang Kamulan tidaklah mulus, Aji Saka sempat bertempur selama tujuh hari tujuh malam dengan setan penunggu hutan, karena Aji Saka menolak dijadikan budak oleh setan penunggu selama sepuluh tahun sebelum diperbolehkan melewati hutan itu.
Tapi berkat kesaktian nya, Aji Saka berhasil mengelak dari semburan api si setan. Sesaat setelah Aji Saka berdoa, seberkas sinar kuning menyorot dari langit menghantam setan penghuni hutan sekaligus melenyapkan-nya.
Aji Saka tiba di Medang Kamulan yang sepi. Di istana, Prabu Dewata Cengkar sedang murka karena Patih Jugul Muda tidak membawa korban untuk sang Prabu.
Dengan berani, Aji Saka menghadap Prabu Dewata Cengkar dan menyerahkan diri untuk disantap oleh sang Prabu dengan imbalan tanah seluas serban yang digunakan nya.
Saat mereka sedang mengukur tanah sesuai permintaan Aji Saka, serban terus memanjang sehingga luasnya melebihi luas kerajaan Prabu Dewata Cengkar. Prabu marah setelah mengetahui niat Aji Saka sesungguhnya adalah untuk mengakhiri kelalimannya.
Ketika Prabu Dewata Cengkar sedang marah, serban Aji Saka melilit kuat di tubuh sang Prabu. Tubuh Prabu Dewata Cengkar di lempar Aji Saka dan jatuh ke laut selatan kemudian hilang ditelan ombak.
Aji Saka kemudian dinobatkan menjadi raja Medang Kamulan. Ia memboyong ayahnya ke istana. Berkat pemerintahan yang adil dan bijaksana, Aji Saka menghantarkan Kerajaan Medang Kamulan ke jaman keemasan, jaman dimana rakyat hidup tenang, damai, makmur dan sejahtera.

Ia mengungkapkan rencana tersebut kepada istrinya dan sang istri sangatlah sedih mendengar ancaman tersebut.
Mendengar berita tersebut, Jambean sangat sedih namun ia merelakan dirinya dibunuh oleh sang ayah. Ia berpesan ketika ia telah meninggal, ia ingin agar mayatnya dibuang ke sebuah bendungan dan jangan dikubur di dalam tanah. Setelah meninggal, sang ibu memenuhi permintaan tersebut dengan membawa mayatnya ke bendungan dan menceburkannya. Di dalam bendungan, tubuh dan kepalanya berubah menjadi udang dan siput atau disebut sebagai keong dalam bahasa jawa.
.
Beberapa tahun kemudian, dua orang janda sedang mencari kayu bakar. Mereka adalah kakak beradik dengan nama Mbok Rondo Sambega dan Mbok Rondo Sembagil. Ketika sedang mencari kayu di hutan, mereka sangat terkejut karena menemukan keong dan siput yang berwarna emas serta sangat indah. Keduanya kemudian membawa keong dan siput tersebut untuk dipelihara di rumah.
Setelah mereka membawa siput tersebut dan menjadikannya sebagai hewan peliharaan, selalu ada keajaiban setiap hari. Dapur mereka selalu dipenuhi makanan lezat ketika mereka pulang dari bekerja. Mereka sangat heran, dan mereka ingin mengetahui siapa orang yang selalu membuat makanan lezat tersebut. Mereka berpura-pura pergi bekerja dan bersembunyi di belakang rumah. Beberapa saat kemudian, muncullah seorang gadis cantik dari dalam keong tersebut dan ia mulai memasak makanan-makanan lezat.
Kedua janda tersebut kemudian secara diam-diam memegang gadis tersebut dan tidak membiarkannya lagi untuk masuk ke dalam keong. Gadis itu ternyata adalah Jambean yang telah dibunuh oleh ayahnya. Kedua janda tersebut kemudian mengizinkan Jambean untuk tinggal bersama mereka. Karena kepandaiannya dalam menenun, ia sangat terkenal dan seorang pangeran tampan tertarik kepadanya. Pada akhirnya, ia menikah dengan pangeran dan hidup bahagia.

ReplyDeleteOne 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.***

ReplyDeleteSuatu hari, Kancil pergi ke sungai untuk minum. Tapi ia tahu bahwa buaya mungkin menunggu didalam air untuk memakannya, jadi dia berteriak keras-keras. “Aku ingin tahu apakah air hangat. Aku akan memasukkan kaki saya ke dalam air dan mencari tahu. “Tentu saja Kancil memasukkan kakinya. Dia mengambil tongkat dan memasukkan satu ujung ke dalam air. Chomp …! Buaya menyambar tongkat dan menariknya ke bawah air. Kancil tertawa. “Ha … ha … ha … buaya bodoh! Tidak bisakah membedakan antara tongkat dan kaki? “Lalu Kancil lari untuk minum di tempat lain.
Pada hari berikutnya, Kancil ingin menyeberang sungai. Dia ingin makan buah-buahan di sisi lain sungai. Dia melihat batang kayu mengambang di sungai. Dia tahu bahwa Buaya tampak seperti kayu mengambang ketika ia mengambang. Kancil tidak mau dimakan oleh buaya ketika ia melintasi sungai. Dia punya ide. Ia berseru keras, “Buaya!” Buaya terangkat dari air, “Halo, Kancil. Apakah kamu datang untuk menjadi makan siang saya? “Kancil tersenyum. “Maaf, tidak hari ini, Buaya. Saya mendapat perintah dari Raja. Dia ingin mengajak seluruh buaya di sungai ini ke pesta. Dia ingin aku menghitung semua buaya sehingga ia bisa mempersiapkan cukup makanan untuk kamu. ”
“Sunggu…? Beritahu kami apa yang harus dilakukan, “kata Buaya. “kamu harus berbaris dari sisi sungai ke sisi lain,” kata Kancil. Buaya kemudian memanggil semua teman-temannya dan keluarganya. Mereka berbaris di seberang sungai. Kancil lalu melompat ke punggung buaya. “Satu,” ia menghitung.

ReplyDeleteDia di hutan pinus Italia yang besar, kesepian. Dia selalu memimpikan memiliki seorang anak laki-laki.
Setiap hari, ia pergi memotong kayu untuk orang-orang kota. Suatu hari, sebuah ide terlintas dalam pikirannya, sebuah ide membuat sebuah boneka, yang akan ia beri nama Pinokio. Dia membuat boneka itu dan pada malam hari, boneka tersebut menjadi hidup!
Satu tahun kebahagiaan dan ketakutan berlalu, pada hari Minggu pagi, Gepetto berkata pada Pinokio :
"hari ulang tahun saya segera tiba, putra kecilku! Saya harap kamu tidak lupa!"
"Euh, tentu, saya tidak lupa!"
Pinokio merasa canggung. Dia tidak memikirkan hal itu. Ulang tahun Gepetto hanya tiga hari lagi, dan dia bahkan belum punya kado.
Setelah malam yang panjang dan berfikir, Pinokio akhirnya memutuskan untuk membuatkan kue coklat buatannya sendiri untuk Gepetto sebagai hadiah ulang tahunnya.
Ketika matahari terbit, Pinokio sudah siap untuk pergi ke luar untuk mendapatkan bahan-bahannya. Masalah utama ia bahkan tidak tau bahan-bahan dan resepnya.
Jadi sepulang sekolah, ia memutuskan bertanya ke seseorang bahan-bahan untuk membuat kue. Selama perjalanannya, Pinokio, si boneka kayu, bertemu penyihir kota.
"Hei, anak kecil, kamu membutuhkan bantuan untuk kue cokelatmu?"
"Hum ... Anda dapat membantu saya?", Tanya Pinokio.
"Tentu, aku bisa. Ikuti aku!"
.
.
Setelah berjalan beberapa menit, Pinokio melihat rumah permen yang sangat besar. Mereka masuk bersama-sama dan Pinokio tertangkap oleh kandang besar.
"Mouahahaha! Saya akhirnya berhasil menangkap mu! Kamu akan menjadi milikku, kau akan bekerja untuk ku!", Kata penyihir jahat.
Pinokio sangat takut. Ketika penjaga datang dan membawanya keluar dari kandang, dia segera lari dengan sangat cepat dan dia berhasil melarikan diri.
Pada saat yang sama, penyihir jahat, memanggil semua pasukannya, berlari mengejarnya dan dia mengeluarkan tongkat sihirnya. Iblis jahat mengubah boneka kayu kecil itu menjadi kue cokelat!
Ketika ia kembali ke rumah, dia menceritakan semuanya kepada ayahnya dan mereka pergi mencari peri dewa.
Setelah perjalanan panjang, mereka akhirnya menemukan peri dewa dan mereka mendapatkan ramuan ajaib untuk Pinokio.

ReplyDeleteHe great Italian pine forest, was lonely. He always dreamed about having a son.
Each day, he went cutting woods for the town’s people. One day, an idea illuminated his mind, the idea of crafting a puppet, which he will call it Pinocchio. He crafted that puppet and during the night, the puppet becomes alive!
One year of happiness and thriller passed, on a Sunday morning, Gepetto told Pinocchio:
"It’s my birthday soon, my little son! I hope you didn’t forget it!"
"Euh, sure, I didn’t!"
Pinocchio felt awkward. He didn’t thought about that. Gepetto’s birthday was coming in only three days, and he hadn’t even a present.
After a long night of reflecting, Pinocchio finally decided to offer a homemade chocolate cake to him as a present.
When the sun rose, Pinocchio was already ready to go outside to find the ingredients. The main problem was he didn’t even known the ingredients and the recipe.
So after school, he decided to go ask someone for the ingredients to bake a cake. During his walk, Pinocchio, the wooden puppet, met the town’s sorcerer.
"Hey, little boy, do you need some help for your chocolate cake?"
"Hum… You can help me?", asked Pinocchio.
"Sure, I can. Follow me!"

After walking few minutes so, Pinocchio saw a big, big, big candy house. They entered together and Pinocchio got caught by a big cage.
"Mouahahaha!!! I finally caught you! You’ll be mine, you’re going to work for me!", said the evil sorcerer.
Pinocchio was so scared. When the guards came and took him out of the cage, he immediately ran away very fast and he succeeded to escape.
At the same time, the evil sorcerer, calling all his troops with him, ran after him and he took out his magic wand. The evil devil changed the little wooden puppet into a chocolate cake!
When he came back home, he told the entire story to his father and they went to find the god fairy.
After a long trip, they finally find the god fairy and they got the magical potion for Pinocchio.

One upon a time a lion and a bear caught and killed a goat. They had a quarrel over it.
“It is mine,” said the bear. “I caught it with my strong paws.”
“It is not yours. It is mine,” said the lion. “I killed it with my strong jaws.”
Then they began to fight over it. They ran up and down the hill, under and over the fallen trees, in and out of the forest. They bit and scratched with their strength, but no one could overcome the other.
At last they both were tired out and could fight no longer. They lay upon the ground, panting and looking at each other.
A fox who was passing by at the time saw them with a dead goat near by. She ran up to them, took the goat home and ate it up.

Mereka pun mulai bertengkar. Mereka saling kejar naik turun bukit melewati bawah dan atas batang pohon tumbang, keluar dan masuk hutan. Mereka saling menggigit dan mencakar dengan kekuatan mereka yang mereka miliki, tapi tidak ada yang mampu mengalahkan satu sama lain.

ReplyDeleteThe Ugly Duckling
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.
animals-ugly-duckling1 “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

Carpenter ants get their name because they build their nests in wood. This pest can cause significant damage to your house. There are many types of carpenter ants. measuring in size from one-quarter inch (about the width of a pencil) for a worker carpenter ant to three-quarters of an inch (about the size of a quarter) for a queen carpenter ant.
Each colony is established by a single, fertilized queen. She starts her nest in a cavity in wood, where she raises her first brood of workers. She feeds them saliva and does not leave the nest or feed herself during this time.
When they are ready, those workers then get the job of gathering food to feed the next generation. Once mature, this first generation of worker ants work to increase the food supply for the colony. The colony population grows very rapidly. A colony can eventually produce 2,000 or more workers.
Carpenter ants do not eat the wood they remove during their nest-building activities, but deposit it outside entrances to the colony in small piles. The diet of carpenter ants includes living and dead insects, meat, fats and sugary foods of all kinds, including honeydew and nectar from plants.
Carpenter ants build nests anywhere they can find water and moldy or damp wood, such as tree stumps, firewood or in the plants around your house. Carpenter ants also build nests inside, usually entering buildings through wet, damaged wood, although it isn’t uncommon for them to adapt to drier environments.
Carpenter ants don’t carry disease, but when building a nest inside a home, Carpenter ants dig smooth tunnels inside the wood.

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

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!” with happiness. The Ugly Duckling And he almost burst
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 eggs wrongly?”

the great white shark
Few creatures strike more fear in humans than the great white shark. In reality, great white shark attacks on humans are rare – and it is even rarer for one of these attacks to be fatal. However, the size of the great white shark and its efficiency as a predator add to the perpetuation of this unnecessary fear.
The great white shark averages 4.5 m (15 ft.) in length, but some have been recorded as large as 6 m (20 ft.) long! They generally weigh up to 2250 kg (5000 lb.).
Great white sharks are blue-gray on the dorsal, or top, part of their bodies. This helps them blend in with the bottom of the ocean when viewed from above. The belly, or ventral, part of the body, is white. This makes it difficult to see the sharks from below, with sunlight shining in around them. They have strong, torpedo-shaped bodies and powerful tails that help them swim. Great whites can reach speeds up to 24 km/hr (15 mph).
Great whites use their speed and coloring to help them hunt. They search for prey at the surface of the ocean while swimming below. Once they spot a target, they use a burst of speed to bump their prey while simultaneously biting it. They have several rows of teeth that can number into the thousands. As teeth fall out, they are rapidly replaced by those in the row behind them. These sharp, serrated teeth can be devastating. A single, large bite can be fatal.
When great white sharks are young, they feed on smaller prey, like fish and rays. As they grow larger, they feed more exclusively on marine mammals, such as sea lions, seals and small whales.
The great white is at the top of the food chain and has few threats in the ocean. Only orcas and larger sharks can pose a risk. The only other risk to the great white shark is human interaction. They are sometimes caught by accident in fishing nets or intentionally sought out by sport fisherman. Their jaws and fins are sold for considerable amounts of money.
Not much is known about the mating habits of great white sharks. What is known is that after mating the female develops several eggs which hatch in her womb. The newly-hatched shark pups feed on unfertilized eggs in the womb as they develop before being born. In general, the mother gives birth to a litter of two to ten pups, each of which average 1.5 m (5 ft.) in length. Male great whites reach maturity at 9-10 years of age. Females mature even later, between 14 and 16 years of age. Female sharks are thought to give birth once every couple years, but even that is uncertain.
Great whites spend their time in temperate waters all over the world, although they have been known to make brief trips into colder water in the north. They live in the upper part of the ocean, towards the surface, and close to the shore, where sunlight shines through and prey is available.

Story of Bawang Merah and Bawang Putih Sebagai Contoh Text NarrativeBawang Putih lived with her step mother and her step sister, Bawang Merah. Bawang Putih’s mother died when she was a baby. Her father remarried another woman and later her step sister was born. Unfortunately, not long after that her father died. Since then, Bawang Putih’s life was sad. Her step mother and her step sister treated Bawang Putih badly and always asked her to do all the household chores. One morning, Bawang Putih was washing some clothes in a river. Accidentally, her mother’s clothes were washed away by the river. She was really worried so she walked along the river side to find the clothes. Finally she met an old woman. She said that she kept the clothes and would give them back to Bawang Putih if she helped the old woman do the household chores. Bawang Putih helped her happily. After everything was finished, the old woman returned the clothes. She also gave Bawang Putih a gift. The old woman had two pumpkins, one pumpkin was small and the other one was big. Bawang Putih had to choose one. Bawang Putih was not a greedy girl. So she took the small one. After thanking the old woman, Bawang Putih then went home. When she arrived home, her step mother and Bawang Merah were angry. They had been waiting for her all day long. Bawang Putih then told about the clothes, the old woman, and the pumpkin. Her mother was really angry so she grabbed the pumpkin and smashed it to the floor. Suddenly they all were surprised. Inside the pumpkin they found jewelries. “Bawang Merah, hurry up. Go to the river and throw my clothes into the water. After that, find the old woman. Remember, you have to take the big pumpkin,” the step mother asked Bawang Merah to do exactly the same as Bawang Putih’s experience. Bawang Merah immediately went to the river. She threw the clothes and pretended to search them. Not long after that, she met the old woman. Again she asked Bawang Merah to do household chores. She refused and asked the old woman to give her a big.

ReplyDeleteAlthough they appear white or yellow in color, their fur is actually clear and hollow, and their skin is black. Their visibly pale coloring is caused by the reflection and scattering of light.
Inhabiting the ice and sea of the Arctic, polar bears are well-equipped for survival in a harsh environment. Two coats of fur and a thick layer of blubber help insulate the polar bear’s body from the cold, keeping its temperature at an even 37° C (98.6° F). In addition, polar bears’ paws are especially adapted for walking on the ice and swimming in the sea. Hairs and bumps on the soles of their feet provide traction, while webbing between their toes allows for effective swimming strokes.
Polar bears are also equipped with strong noses. They use their powerful sense of smell when hunting for seals, their main source of food. They can smell a seal’s breathing hole, or aglu, up to one mile away. Once located, a polar bear will wait patiently by the hole and attack the seal’s head when it comes up for air. In ideal hunting conditions, the bear will just eat the seal fat, leaving the carcass for other animals. However, when food is scarce, polar bears will eat just about anything. Supplemental foods include walruses, short-legged reindeer, birds, bird eggs, kelp, and beached whales. When in proximity to human settlements, they have even been known to eat garbage such as Styrofoam.
Polar bear cubsPolar bears do not hibernate like other bears, but females do enter into a dormant state while pregnant. After mating in the spring, a female polar bear spends the summer ingesting large amounts of food and building a maternity den in a snow drift to prepare for the arrival of her cubs.
In the fall, she enters into a dormant state, remaining this way even as she gives birth. The litter, usually two cubs, will spend two years with their mother learning essential hunting and survival skills.
Plains Zebra
Black and white stripes make the zebra one of the most recognizable animals in the world. The plains zebra, also known as the common zebra, is the most abundant of three species of zebra, inhabiting the grasslands of eastern and southern Africa. The other two species are Grevy’s zebras and mountain zebras.
On average, plains zebras are smaller than the other two species of zebra. They range in height from 1-1.5 m (3.5-5 ft.) and can weigh almost 450 kg (1000 lbs.). Plains zebras also have a different stripe pattern than the other species. They have broad stripes that run horizontally towards the back and vertically towards the front, meeting in a triangle in the middle of their bodies. They also have a stripe that runs down the center of their backs onto the tail. Finally, plains zebras have underbelly stripes. Although all plains zebras share these similarities in stripe patterns, no two zebras have exactly the same pattern.
Zebras have very good hearing and eyesight, which helps them stay clear of predators such as lions, hyenas, and cheetahs. It also helps that they can run 56 km/h (35 mph) and pack a powerful kick. If one zebra spots a predator, it lets out a sharp two-syllable call. The young and female zebras run, while the males trail behind to defend them. If one is attacked, others circle around to help protect it from predators.
Plains zebras are herbivores, meaning they eat plants. They spend the majority of their day eating, mostly grazing on grass, but also eating leaves and stems. To keep up with the frequent grinding of these foods, zebras’ back teeth continue to grow throughout their lives.
Zebras are known to travel great distances to find food and water when the dry season arrives.

ReplyDeleteWhen not eating or traveling, zebras do take the opportunity to sleep. In fact, they sleep standing up! But zebras only sleep when they are in large groups so that they can be alerted of danger.
A typical plains zebra family consists of a male, called a stallion, several females, called mares, and their children. When a female becomes pregnant, it takes 13 months to have the baby, called a foal. These family groups are called harems. The harems will often join with other families to form large herds.
Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas)
When born, green sea turtles are only 5 cm (2 in) long. But they grow up to 1.5 meters (5 ft) in length and can weigh over 300 kg (700 lbs), making them the largest of the hardshell sea turtles.
The dorsal shell of the green turtle, or carapace, is wide, smooth, and brownish-olive in color. The underside of the shell, or plastron, is yellow. Green sea turtles are so named for the greenish hue of their skin. They have heads that cannot retract into their bodies, a trait commonly associated with turtles. Reaching speeds of up to 56 km/h (35 mph), their streamlined shell and paddle-like flippers aid in their ability to swim quickly and with grace.
Green sea turtles are able to hold their breath for hours at a time. Because they are cold-blooded, the temperature of the water affects their ability to hold their breath. In colder water they can hold their breath for longer.
With features well-adapted to sea life, their agile mobility underwater does not carry over to their travels on the beach. On land they move slowly, laboriously pulling themselves along with their flippers. But in general, green turtles only venture onto land to lay their eggs. Females lay eggs every 2-4 years once they are sexually mature.
To reach their nesting grounds, green turtles migrate long distances, traveling back to the beaches where they were born. After mating in the shallow waters near shore, female turtles climb onto the beach and lay their eggs in a pit. They lay 100-200 eggs at a time and leave them alone for 2 months before they hatch. Once the baby turtles hatch, they must crawl to the water and avoid a multitude of predators, including birds and crabs.
Green sea turtles make their home in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. There are two types of green turtles, the Atlantic green turtle and the Eastern Pacific green turtle. It is debated whether these are subspecies or completely separate species. Each of the populations has its own feeding and breeding grounds. Atlantic green turtles are found throughout the Atlantic Ocean, while Eastern Pacific green turtles are found in the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Mediterranean and Black Seas. Over 80 countries in the world have green turtles nest on their beaches.
Green sea turtles feed on crabs, jellyfish, and other creatures as juveniles. As adults they become herbivores, primarily eating sea grasses and algae.

Teks Report Tentang Tumbuhan Catnip
Catnip, also known as catmint, is herbaceous plant that belongs to the mint family. Scientific name of catnip, “Nepeta cataria”, refers to the old Italian city called Nepete where this plant was especially numerous in the past, and strong reaction which this plant produces in cats (“cataria” means “cat” in Latin). It originates from Europe, Africa and Asia, but it can be found all over the world today. Catnip grows on the fertile, porous soil, in areas that provide plenty of sun. It can be often found near the roads and railroads, in the fields, pastures and near the streams. Despite proven medicinal value of this plant, catnip is mostly cultivated in the ornamental purposes today.
Catnip has square-shaped, branched, hairy stem that can reach 20 to 39 inches in height. Catnip has soft, hairy, triangular or ovate leaves with serrated edges and pointed tips. Leaves are oppositely arranged on the stem. They are pale green on the upper surface and whitish on the bottom side (due to short, white hairs). Catnip produces small, fragrant, lip-shaped, white or pale lavender flowers with purple dots, arranged in dense whorled clusters on the tips of the branches and stem. Flowers contain both types of reproductive organs.
Catnip blooms from spring to autumn and attracts butterflies which are responsible for the pollination of this plant.Fruit of catnip is pod filled with 4 oval, reddish-brown seeds. Catnip propagates via seed and underground rhizome. Aromatic, minty leaves of catnip are used as spice for cooking.
Tea made of catnip leaves produces sedative effect in humans and it can be used in treatment of insomnia, nausea and toothache. Crushed leaves can be applied topically, as a first aid for cuts and superficial injuries. Catnip is also available in the form of capsules today. This herbal remedy is mostly used to relieve headache and digestion problems.
Catnip is rich source of substance known as nepetalactone which triggers strong, euphoric reaction in cats, manifested by rolling, twisting, rubbing and bathing in the plant. Sniffing of catnip has stimulating effect, while consumption of catnip produces short-term sedative effect in cats.
Only around 50 to 75% of cats have strong reaction to catnip that usually lasts 10 to 15 minutes. Catnip doesn’t have harmful effect and doesn’t create addiction in cats. This plant is available in the form of pellets, loose leaves, sprays, scratching pads and various toys today and it is often used as a training tool. Even large cats such as lions, leopards and tigers react to nepetalactone in catnip.
Cactus
Cactus is a type of plant that can store large amounts of water and survive in extremely hot and dry habitats. Cacti can survive from 15 to 300 years, depending on the species.

ReplyDeleteBoxing is a martial art and combat sport in which two people engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, endurance and will, by throwing punches at each other, usually with gloved hands. Historically, the goals have been to weaken and knock down the opponent.
Amateur boxing is both an Olympic and Commonwealth sport and is a common fixture in most international games—it also has its own World Championships. Boxing is supervised by a referee over a series of one- to three-minute intervals called rounds. The result is decided when an opponent is deemed incapable to continue by a referee, is disqualified for breaking a rule, resigns by throwing in a towel, or is pronounced the winner or loser based on the judges’ scorecards at the end of the contest. In the event that both fighters gain equal scores from the judges, the fight is considered a draw.
While people have fought in hand-to-hand combat since before the dawn of history, the origin of boxing as an organized sport may be its acceptance by the ancient Greeks as an Olympic game in BC 688. Boxing evolved from 16th- and 18th-century prizefights, largely in Great Britain, to the forerunner of modern boxing in the mid-19th century, again initially in Great Britain and later in
Tinju adalah seni bela diri dan olahraga combat/pertarungan di mana dua orang terlibat dalam kontes kekuatan, kecepatan, refleks, daya tahan dan hasrat, dengan melemparkan pukulan satu sama lain, biasanya dengan tangan bersarung. Secara historis, tujuan adalah untuk melemahkan dan merobohkan lawan.
Tinju amatir baik olahraga Olimpiade dan Kawasan dan perlengkapan umum di sebagian besar pertandingan internasionalnya juga memiliki Kejuaraan Dunia sendiri. Tinju diawasi oleh wasit atas serangkaian satu sampai tiga dalam interval menit disebut putaran. Hasilnya diputuskan ketika lawan dianggap tidak mampu untuk melanjutkan oleh wasit, yang didiskualifikasi karena melanggar aturan, mengundurkan diri dengan melemparkan handuk, atau diucapkan pemenang atau pecundang berdasarkan scorecard hakim pada akhir kontes. Dalam pertandingan kedua petinju mendapatkan skor yang sama dari para juri, pertarungan dianggap imbang.
Sementara orang-orang telah berjuang adu tinju sejak sebelum permulaan sejarah, asal tinju sebagai olahraga terorganisir mungkin disambut oleh orang Yunani kuno sebagai permainan Olimpiade di tahun 688 sebelum Masehi. Boxing berkembang dari abad ke-16 dan 18, sebagian besar di Inggris, dengan cikal bakal dari tinju modern di pertengahan abad ke-19, awalnya di Inggris lagi dan kemudian di Amerika Serikat.
Chess is a two-player board game played on a chessboard, a checkered gameboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. Chess is played by millions of people worldwide, both amateurs and professionals.
Each player begins the game with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Each of the six piece types moves differently. The most powerful piece is the queen and the least powerful piece is the pawn. The objective is to ‘checkmate’ the opponent’s king by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture. To this end, a player’s pieces are used to attack and capture the opponent’s pieces, while supporting their own. In addition to checkmate, the game can be won by voluntary resignation by the opponent, which typically occurs when too much material is lost, or if checkmate appears unavoidable. A game may also result in a draw in several ways.

Running is a method of terrestrial locomotion allowing humans and other animals to move rapidly on foot. Running is a type of gait characterized by an aerial phase in which all feet are above the ground (though there are exceptions. This is in contrast to walking, where one foot is always in contact with the ground, the legs are kept mostly straight and the center of gravity vaults over the stance leg or legs in an inverted pendulum fashion. A characteristic feature of a running body from the viewpoint of spring-mass mechanics is that changes in kinetic and potential energy within a stride occur simultaneously, with energy storage accomplished by springy tendons and passive muscle elasticity.The term running can refer to any of a variety of speeds ranging from jogging to sprinting.
It is assumed that the ancestors of mankind developed the ability to run for long distances about 2.6 million years ago, probably in order to hunt animals. Competitive running grew out of religious festivals in various areas. Records of competitive racing date back to the Tailteann Games in Ireland in 1829 BCE,[citation needed] while the first recorded Olympic Games took

The Ant and the Dove
ReplyDeleteOne 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.

Dia mungkin bisa saja tenggelam jika burung merpati yang sedang di atas pohon di dekatnya itu tidak melihatnya. Karena melihat si semut sedang dalam kesulitan, burung merpati pun cepat memetik daun dari pohon dan langsung menjatuhkannya ke dalam air dekat si semut yang mencoba menyelamatkan diri itu. Kemudian si semut pun bergerak menuju daun dan kemudian naik ke atasnya. Daun itu membawanya ke darat dengan selamat.
Tidak lama kemudian, ada seorang pemburu yang membuang jaring ke arah burung merpati, berharap dengan cara ini bisa menjebak si burung merpati.
Berpikir sejenak tentang apa yang harus dia lakukan, kemudian semut cepat menggigit tumit orang tersebut. Karena merasa sakit, si pemburu akhirnya menjatuhkan jaringnya dan kemudian burung merpati terbang keluar dari jaring tersebut dengan cepat.

It made the queen so angry that she gave orders to one of her Huntsmen to take Snow White into the woods and kill her.
The Huntsman had such a kind heart that he couldn’t do the deed. He told her to run away. In her fleeing into the woods, she found a place in which seven dwarfs lived. Their house was small and strange. Snow White entered the little house and found it very untidy. Then, she started to clean up the entire house. In the upstairs she found seven little beds. She was so exhausted that she stretched out on one of the beds. Not long after that, she was asleep on the bed.
When the Dwarfs came home they were surprised to find Snow White and after some argument, decided to let her stay. She promised to cook and look after them. She lived there together happily.
Unfortunately, The Queen discovered the place where Snow White was living and disguising herself as a witch. She then took a poisoned apple and set out for the Dwarfs cottage. She gave Snow White the poisoned apple to eat and as soon as she bit the apple, she sank into unconsciousness.
Thinking she was dead, the Dwarfs built a glass coffin and put her in it. For days she lay in the forest in her glass coffin. One day, the Prince was riding through the forest looking for Snow White and found her. He leaned over and kissed her. She opened her eyes and sat up with a smile. Everyone was happy at that time. The Prince took Snow White to his palace where they were married and lived happily ever after.
Putri Salju
ReplyDeletePada suatu hari, ada seorang Ratu yang sedang duduk di balik jendela yang sangat indah sambil menjahit dan melihat salju yang turun. Secara tidak sengaja, jarinya tertusuk oleh jarum jahit hingga mengeluarkan tiga tetes darah dari jarinya. Darah tersebut jatuh di atas salju, dan warna merah pun menempel di atas salju yang putih, sehingga terlihat sangat cantik. Ratu pun berpikir “’Andai saja aku punya anak dengan kulit seputih salju dan bibir semerah darah”.
Beberapa waktu kemudian, akhirnya Ratu pun melahirkan seorang Putri yang sangat cantik jelita yang memiliki kulit seputih salju dan bibir merah semerah darah. Sang putri pun tumbuh menjadi gadis yang sangat cantik dan juga baik hati. Ia kemudian dipanggil dengan nama Putri Salju. Namun, ketika Putri Salju tumbuh menjadi gadis remaja, Sang Ratu meninggal karena mempunyai penyakit. Setelah Sang Ratu meninggal, Sang Raja pun menikah lagi. Ratu baru yang ini sangat jahat dan sangat benci kepada Putri Salju. Sang Ratu memberi perintah agar Putri Salju diperlakukan sebagai seorang pembantu.
Setiap hari Sang Ratu berdiri di depan cermin ajaib sambil bertanya “Siapa wanita paling cantik di negeri ini?” dan cermin ajaib itupun selalu menjawab “Anda adalah yang paling cantik di antara semuanya”. Sang Ratu yang baru itu mengajukan pertanyaan yang sama setiap hari dan si cermin pun selalu menjawab dengan jawaban yang sama. Tapi suatu hari cermin menjawab bahwa Ratu itu sangat cantik tetapi Putri Salju jauh lebih cantik dari Sang Ratu. Hal itu membuat Sang Ratu begitu marah sehingga ia memerintahkan salah satu pemburu untuk membawa Putri Salju ke hutan dan langsung membunuhnya.
Ternyata sang pemburu adalah seseorang yang baik hati sehingga ia tidak bisa melakukan perbuatan tersebut. Ia menyarankan kepada Sang Putri Salju untuk kabur. Dalam pelariannya ke hutan, ia menemukan tempat di mana terdapat tujuh kurcaci tinggal. Tempat tinggal mereka sangat kecil dan aneh. Sang Putri Salju memasuki rumah kecil tersebut dan tempat itu begitu berantakan. Kemudian, ia mulai membersihkan seluruh rumah itu. Di lantai atas ia menemukan tujuh tempat tidur kecil-kecil. Ia begitu letih sehingga ia pun berbaring di salah satu tempat tidur tersebut. Tidak lama setelah itu, ia pun tertidur di tempat tidur itu.
Ketika Kurcaci pulang, mereka terkejut menemukan Putri Salju, dan setelah berdialog, mereka memutuskan untuk membiarkan ia tinggal di sana. Dia berjanji untuk memasak dan merawat mereka. Ia tinggal bersama di sana dengan bahagia.
Sayangnya, Sang Ratu menemukan tempat di mana Putri Salju tinggal dan kemudian dirinya menyamar menjadi seorang penyihir. Kemudian ia mengambil apel beracun dan pergi ke rumah Sang Kurcaci. Dia memberikan apel beracun tersebut kepada Putri Salju untuk dimakannya. Seketika setelah Putri Salju menggigit apel beracun tersebut, ia kemudian jatuh pingsan.
Kurcaci berpikir bahwa Putri Salju sudah mati, kurcaci pun membuat peti mati kaca dan menempatkan dia di dalamnya. Selama berhari-hari ia terbaring di dalam peti kaca di hutan. Suatu hari, seorang pangeran berkelana ke hutan mencari Putri Salju dan menemukannya. Dia membungkuk dan menciumnya. Dia membuka matanya dan duduk dengan tersenyum. Semua orang bahagia pada waktu itu. Pangeran membawa Putri Salju ke istananya di mana mereka menikah dan hidup bahagia selamanya.
Pesan moral: Iri dengki hanya akan membawa malapetaka di masa yang akan datang. Sedangkan orang yang baik akan mendapatkan kebahagiaan dan rasa hormat dari orang-orang disekelilingnya.

Malin Kundang grew up as a skillful young boy. He always helps his mother to earn some money.

True Friends
ReplyDeleteOnce 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.
