It was the rainy season and, for one whole week, the rain poured incessantly. The water level in the river rose steadily until the water spilled over, flooding many low-lying areas.

My village was one of the areas affected and we had to move our belongings to higher ground. There, we waited for rescue teams to arrive. The whole village was submerged in about one meter of water. The currents were swift and merciless, sweeping away livestock and furniture.

Red Crescent members could be seen busy evacuating old folk, women, and children trapped by the rising waters. Flood victims were taken to a Flood Relief Centre. Here we were given hot drinks, porridge and milk for the babies. Some had to be given clothes and blankets as they could not save anything in time.

After three days, the rain subsided and the flood waters receded. It was such a relief to see the sun again. Flood victims began to move back home, to clean up the place as well as to assess the damage.

What is the purpose of the text?

• To announce that the flood waters receded

• To inform Red Crescent about the flood

• To inform the public of the flood

• To describe the flood in her village

Lok Baintan Floating Market

The city of Banjarmasin in South Kalimantan has one of the unique tourist destinations that characterizes the city. It's called a floating market. At the floating market, sellers use boats filled with various vegetables, fruits, and traditional foods to souvenirs, selling their wares to buyers who share the same boat. For shopping and transactions on land, it is normal. But in Lok Baintan, Sungai Tabuk District, Banjar Regency, the transaction took place in the middle of the Martapura River. Sellers and buyers alike were rocked by the ripples of the river.

To see the life of the floating market in Lok Baintan first-hand, tourists must leave before sunrise. This floating market operates from 6 to 8 am. When the sun began to appear, the residents' houses on the banks of the Martapura River became increasingly clear. The brown river water looks wavy when the kelotok boat breaks through. That morning, residents were seen washing clothes, washing dishes, and even brushing their teeth using water from the Martapura River.

It was told by an elder who was an elder in the village of Saruhung, not a traditional head but a native Dayak who had performed a small ritual before we entered the forest. The goal was that we were all safe until we return home, it was like we were asking permission from those who have lived and settled in the forest. His name was Aming, and he told me about the origin of Mount Bondang. In ancient times, Mount Bondang was so high that it reached into the sky, Mount Bondang was the connecting ladder between the heavens and the earth at that time. In the sky lived several gods and goddesses, including an evil goddess named Adjudahari. He loved to eat humans on earth, if he saw humans walking around Mount Bondang then he took the human and then ate it voraciously.

Seeing this a good god named Bondang and his sister named Buro were pitiful towards humans on Earth, they also devised a plan so that Ajudahari would no longer eat humans. They finally divided the tasks, the duty of Bondang was to distract the Adjudahari's attention and as soon as possible Buro hit Mount Bondang until the sky was out of reach. Now the height of Bondang is only 1424 meters above sea level, since then Ajudahari can no longer eat humans. It is said that Adjudahari’s saliva drips onto the earth every time he sees humans, and from that saliva, various blood-sucking animals were created. Like leeches or better known as the word pacet, bees, mosquitoes, and even pythons.

Maybe the height of Mount Bondang is not that high when compared to the mountains in Java, but don't underestimate the terrain of Mount Bondang. The terrain is quite steep, plus the condition of the rainforest makes it always muddy. Not to mention pacets everywhere, staying alert is the key to staying safe. The higher the vegetation, the more filled with moss, the water can even be squeezed out to drink. There are also animals such as shrimp that live in the moss of the tree, it's cool but remember to stay alert.

“In ancient times, Mount Bondang was so high that it reached into the sky,…” (Paragraph 1)
