Dear Anita,

Hi! How are you Anita? I hope everything is all right. I’ll tell you my last holiday.

Last week I went to east Java for holiday. On the first day I went to Mount Bromo, I stayed at my uncle’s house at Cemara Lawang, Probolinggo. It has a big garden with lots of colorful flowers and a fish pond.

The next day, my aunt, my uncle and I saw Gunung Batok and went on scenic ride on horse back. It was scary. Then we went to get a closer look at the mountain. We took a picture of beautiful sceneries there.

On the last day, we went to the zoo at Wonokromo. We saw cockatoos having shower. In the afternoon, we went home. It was fun.

Love,

Tania

I lifted my wet woolen gloves up to my damp eyelashes and wiped the delicate snowflakes from my eyes. I could not feel my nose and my breath was like icicles forming in the air. I was cold. I was fed up! I wanted to go home. Mum and dad had forced me and my 2 sisters - Jenny and Mary to go for a Sunday afternoon walk in the park. I could see my footprints in the snowy path. Like a trail of breadcrumbs in the forest showing me the way home.

I stopped and listened to the magic around me. I could hear the wind howling like a stray dog hungry for a yummy bone. The branches of the trees that used to whisper and rustle had become bare, brown bones and the grass was covered with a white sparkling blanket. Then I saw a filmy web shimmer and glimmer beneath a pale sun. My breath was like silky soft smoke wafting up into the freezing cold air.

Suddenly there was mum with a big cup of liquid heaven. She handed it to me with an enormous smile on her face. Here you are Jo, this will keep you warm"

I slowly sipped the delicious liquid and felt it dripping and slipping down into my tummy like lava flowing down a mountainside. My wet woolen gloves were no longer frozen but warm. My breath had thawed and I was no longer fed up or cold. I was happy and contented.

Then, all ministers came and sat on their chairs. The last person entering the room was the king. He sat on his special big seat.

On each plate, there was delicious roast chicken. Its smell made people hungry. After praying, the king invited all people to eat. Abu Nawas took his fork and knife. He wanted to cut his chicken. Suddenly the king stopped him, ‘Wait Abu!’.

‘Whatever you do to your chicken, I will do that to you too,’ said the king.

‘For example, if you cut the chicken’s wing, I will also cut your arm.’ The king said.

Abu Nawas looked sad and disappointed. But it was not long. Soon his face looked very bright. Suddenly, he pinched the chicken’s wing. The king was surprised. He didn’t think Abu would do that. But he could not deny what he had said. So he pinched Abu arm.

Next, Abu patted the chicken’s back. The king also patted Abu’s back. All ministers wanted to laugh, but they didn’t dare. They just looked down their plates. After some time, He patted Abu’s shoulders.

‘All right Abu, you eat you chicken now!’ said the king while grinning.

‘Thank you Your Majesty,’ said Abu happily. ‘You are able to escape from my punishment,’ said King Aaron with his mouth full of food.
