General Sudirman was a high ranking Indonesian military officer during the Indonesian national revolution. He was the first commander-in-chief of the Indonesian Armed Forces, he continues to be widely respected in the country. On 12 November 1945, at an election to decide the military’s commander-in-chief in YogyakartA. The 24 years old Sudirman was chosen over Oerip Soemohardjo in a close vote. While waiting to be confirmed, Sudirman ordered an assault on British and Dutch forces in Ambarawa. The ensuing battle and British withdrawal strengthened Sudirman’s popular support, and he was ultimately confirmed on 18 December.

General Sudirman commanded military activities throughout Java, including a show of force in Yogyakarta on 1 March 1949. When the Dutch began withdrawing, in July 1949 Sudirman was recalled to Yogyakarta and forbidden to fight further. In late 1949 Sudirman’s tuberculosis returned, and he retired to Magelang, where he died slightly more than a month after the Dutch recognised Indonesia’s independence. He is buried at Semaki Heroes’ Cemetery in Yogyakarta.

BLUE-TONGUE LIZARD

Blue-Tongue Lizard and his wife camped near a swamp long ago. One day Blue-Tongue Lizard went to get some food, and while he was down at the swamp, he left his wife sitting under a shady tree. He had not been gone very long when Taipan the Snake passed by Blue-Tongue Lizard’s camp. Taipan saw Blue-Tongue Lizard’s wife sitting under the tree, and he decided he would steal her away from Blue-Tongue Lizard. He made her come with him and together they ran a long way away.

Taipan the Snake did not know that Black Bird had been watching him, and as soon as he ran away with Blue-Tongue Lizard’s wife, Black Bird began singing out to Blue-Tongue Lizard. ‘Your wife is gone, Taipan has taken her away’, he cried. Blue-Tongue Lizard was still at the swamp getting food when he heard Black Bird’s call. He went back to the shady tree where he had left his wife and saw she was gone. He put down his bag which was full of food and made a fire. He cooked his food and after he had finished eating it, he went to get his spears.

He found they had all been broken by Taipan. Then he found the tracks of his wife and Taipan, and he followed them. Blue-Tongue Lizard followed their tracks until he came to a tree in which a freshly killed emu had been hung. It had been killed by Taipan and left there to be eaten that night. Blue-Tongue Lizard knew that Taipan and his wife must be nearby and he soon found them near a river. When Taipan saw Blue-Tongue Lizard he ran to get his spears but Blue-Tongue Lizard had already broken them.

‘We can fight with our teeth’, said Blue-Tongue Lizard.

Taipan agreed and the two of them fought wildly, each of them trying to get a hold of the other. Until finally Blue-Tongue Lizard caught hold of Taipan’s body in his powerful jaws, and bit him in half. With Taipan the Snake dead, Blue-Tongue took back his wife and together they returned to the swamp.

The Komodo Dragon, also known as Komodo monitor, is a large species of lizard found in the Indonesian island of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang and Gili Dasami. A member of the monitor Lizard family (Varanidae), it is the largest living species of lizard. It can grow up to 3 metresin lengthand weight up to around 70 kilograms. Their unusual size has been attributed to island gigantism, since there are no other carnivorous animals to fill the niche on the islands where they live.

Komodo dragon hunts and ambush prey including invertebrates, birds, and mammals. Their group behavior in hunting is exceptional in the reptiles world. The diet of big Komodo dragon mainly consist of deer, though they also eat considerable amounts of carrion.

Mating begins between May and August, and the eggs are laid in September. About twenty eggs deposited in abandoned megapode nest or in a self-dug nesting hole. The eggs are incubated for seven to eight months, hatching in April, when insects are most plentiful. Young Komodo dragons are vulnerable and therefore dwell in trees, safe from predators and cannibalistic adults. They take about eight to nine years to mature, and are estimated to live for up to 30 years.

Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) — Astronomer and Scientist. Galileo developed a superior telescope and made many significant discoveries in astronomy. He was sentenced to life imprisonment by the inquisition for his support for the Copernican theory that the sun was at the center of the solar system.

Galileo was born in Florence, Italy in 1564 to a poor but noble family His parents recognized their child’s innate intelligence and talents and so made sacrifices to have him educated. At his father’s insistence, Galileo studied the profitable career of medicine. But, at the University of Pisa, Galileo became fascinated in a wide range of subjects. He was also critical of many of Aristotle’s teaching which had dominated education for the past 2,000 years.

Galileo was appointed to be a mathematics professor at the University of Pisa, but his strident criticisms of Aristotle left him isolated among his contemporaries. After three years of persecution, he resigned and went to the University of Padua, where he taught math. His entertaining lectures attracted a large following and he was able to spend the next 18 years pursuing his interests in astronomy and mechanics.

The Shard is an 87-storey skyscraper, which sits in the heart of London. It is known as the shard of glass. Construction began in 2009 and was completed three years later in 2012, making it Western European’s tallest building.

Designed by architect Renzo Piano, The Shard is the second tallest free standing structure in the UK. Its exterior boasts 11,000 glass panels — that’s equivalent in area to eight football pitches or two-and-a-half Trafalgar Squares.

The building was developed to have multiple uses, describes on the website as a ‘vertical city where people can live, work and relax’. This motto was clearly taken on board that was found on the 72nd floor towards the end of construction.

And Old Beggar

One day, there were two men walking through the bridge. Both of them were going to the city.

The first man was rich and he always wore good clothes to show to everyone that he was rich. The second man was a poor man.

At the bridge, there was an old beggar who always asked alms to anyone who passed that bridge.

When the rich man passed through that bridge, he saw that old beggar asking him some alms. That rich man got angry and he scolded that old beggar because disturbing his way. After that, the rich man went away without giving anything.

The next was the poor man went passing through that bridge. He saw an old beggar asking for some alms and he felt pity about that beggar.

He came closer and say hi to that beggar, after that, he gave his last money to the old beggar. Without that money, the poor man would not eat anything that day before he got money from his master.

After the poor man gave his last money, the beggar asked again, “Will you give me your shoes? I don’t have any shoes to walk and my foot are hurt.”

The poor man gave his only shoes to that old beggar because he thought that the old beggar needed those shoes more than him.

The old beggar said, “Thank you young man, I will never forget your kindness. You are actually a rich man of kindness and goodness.”

The poor man said: “You are welcome. I am so sorry I can only give you few money and bad shoes for you. I hope I can help you better someday if I have more fortune.” The poor man left that old beggar to go to the city.

At the city, there was announcement that the king would give some speech at the front yard of his kingdom. The rich man and the poor man wanted to come and hear their king’s speech.

The king was already old and he would be replaced by his first son sooner. The king walked at the podium wearing bad clothes like a beggar and wearing his crown as a sign that he was the king.

Both of that rich man and the poor man remembered that the old beggar at the bridge was similar to the king.

The king began his speech, “Today, this morning, I met two of my people. The first one was a rich man who was poor of kindness. The second one was a poor man but he was rich of kindness and goodness. This morning I was a beggar that got a beautiful gift from that poor man I met, the gifts were his only money and his only shoes. I am glad of his kindness and he was a god example of being human. He is here right now and hearing my speech. I would like to thanks to him and give him some gift from me…”

The king gave a big house, land and a lot of money to the poor man and he was so happy to get that gift from the king.

What is the theme of the story?

The Incas used to be a large empire of 990.000 km² in Peru of South America. Their city was high up in the Andes Mountains. They were well- known for their great wealth, especially gold. This great empire was unfortunately destroyed in an attack by the Spaniards who were searching for their famed gold. Although this empire existed way back in 1493, it was not backward but complex and well-organized.

The empire was ruled by the Sapa Inca, Lord of the World, Son of the Sun. He owned everything in the empire - the land, soil, gold and even the people. The people, therefore, had no freedom.

Boys and girls were to life of obedience and tradition. They began working in their ayllu or family groups. The rule was Ama sua, ama llulla, ama sheklla, which means, "Do not steal, do not lie, do not be lazy."

Despite this difficult way of live, the Incas were very skillful. They constructed drainage system and underground water reservoirs. Their buildings were made from huge stones. These were cut to flit perfectly together so that no mortar was needed. Their rope bridges were so strong that even a horse could gallop across them!

The Incas had no written language. Information was recorded on knotted strings called quipus. These were also used as calculators. Strong and healthy young boys were chosen as chasquis or couriers to carry messages from one place to another.
