The Needle Tree

There were once two brothers who lived at the edge of a forest. The elder brother was very mean to his younger brother. He ate up all the food and took all i his brother’s good clothes.

One day, the elder brother went into the forest to find some firewood to sell in the market. As he went around, chopping the branches of tree after tree, he 1 came upon a magical tree. The tree said to him, ’Oh kind sir, please do not cut my branches. If you spare me, I will give you golden apples’. The elder brother agreed, but he was disappointed with the number of apples the tree gave him. Greed overcame him, and he threatened to cut the entire trunk, if the tree didn’t give him more apples. The magical tree, instead, showered upon the . elder brother, hundreds upon hundreds of tiny needles. The elder brother lay on the ground crying in pain as the sun began to lower down the horizon.

The younger brother grew worried and went in search of his elder brother. He found him lying in pain near the tree, with hundreds of needles on his body. He rushed to his brother and removed each needle with painstaking love. After he finished, the elder brother apologized for treating him badly and promised to be better. The tree saw the change in the elder brother's heart, and gave them all the golden apples they could ever need.

Visiting My Village

Last month, my family and I went to Banyumas which is located in Central Java, indonesia. We drove a car. I enjoyed the journey all day although it took 2 days to get there. We were fun, my brother made some jokes all day. My father told us some stories while my mother slept at the back seat.

My first day in my village, we visited our relatives and friends. We were welcomed with happiness. I saw my parents cried because they looked so happy to meet up their families. The next day, my whole family went to a popular place in Purwokerto. It is cailed ”Baturaden”, one of favorite spots in Purwokerto. We enjoyed local food as a culinary. We were very satisfied. Next, we took a photo with traditional music musicians.

The next day, my cousin had a ceremony to say thanks to God for blessing their son. it is called ”Nazar", it means when we have a promise for something so it should be realized. They hold a traditional ceremony. We watched that traditional ceremony and took their photograph.

For the last show, we were entertained by ”Ebeg". It Is a traditional art. The players danced through traditional music and they were handled by the spirit. It was scary but it was fun and entertaining.

Time ran so fast. It was our last day in the Village. So we took some photos with our whole family. Finally, we had to go home and brought a love experience.
