Across the river, there was green grassland, with young leaves. 'Hmm.. it seems delicious' imagined the mouse deer, 'but how can I get there? I can't swim, the current is very rapid?'

The mouse deer was figuring out the way how to reach there. Suddenly, he jumped to the air,'aha.: he then walked to the edge of the river. He didn't see the reflection because the water flowed very fast. He dipped one of his fore legs into the water. A few moment later, appeared Mr. Crocodile showing his sharp teeth. He then laughed, "Ha... ha... ha, you can't run away from me, You'll be my tasty lunch!" said the crocodile.

"Of course I can't. You are very strong, Mr. Croco," replied the mouse deer frightenedly. Then, the other crocodiles approached moving slowly.They approached the edge of the river.

"But, before you all have a party, I wonder how many your members are there in the river. If I know your number exactly, I can distribute my meat evenly,"said the mouse deer.

"Oh...o, great, good idea! But we are a large group, I can't count it precisely," Mr. Croco moaned. "Leave it to me, and I can make it for you!"

Tulip Fairy Story

Once upon a time, in a small village near the forest, there was a kind hearted old lady who lived in a small house. The old woman loved her garden and one flower she always loved is tulip. Because of it, she built a small garden full with colorful tulip.

Because of her love too, she made a small bed in the middle of the tulip garden and often spent the night there. One night, she slept in the middle of the garden. But there was something strange because unlike usual, she heard a sound from the garden. There was babies laughing and sweet singing. She tried to find out where the sound came from but she found nothing.

On the following night, she once again slept in the garden. And once again, she heard the sounds; babies laughing and sweet singing. She was curious. She walked along the garden quietly. She was surprised; there, somewhere in the garden, she found a little fairy mother rocking and humming the tulip flower like a cradle. There was a little fairy baby, laughing and playing in the tulip cup.

The old woman walked back to her house. From that moment, she never picked the tulip. She did not allow other people touch her beloved flowers.

On Wednesday, my students and I went to Yogyakarta. We stayed at Dirgahayu Hotel which is not far from Malioboro.

On Thursday, we visited the temples in Prambanan. There are three big temples, the Brahmana, Syiwa and Wisnu temples. They are really amazing. We visited only Brahmana and Syiwa temples, because Wisnu temple is being renovated.

On Friday morning we went to Yogya Kraton. We spent about two hours there. We were lucky because we were led by a smart and friendly guide. Then we continued our journey to Borobudur. We arrived there at four p.m. At 5 p.m. we heard the announcement that Borobudur gate would be closed.

In the evening we left for Jakarta by wisata bus.

A Woman and the Wolves

A long time ago, very few people lived in the New Territories. There were only a few villages. If the people wanted to go from one village to another, they often had to pass through wild and unsafe forest.

One day, a farmer’s young wife went to the next village to visit her own mother and brother. She brought along her baby son. When it was time for her to leave, her brother said “ it is getting dark. Let my son, Ah Tim go with you though the forest.”

So Ah Tim led the way and the young woman followed behind, carrying her baby. When they were in the forest, suddenly they saw a group of wolves. They began to run to avoid the danger, but Ah Tim kicked against a stone and fell down. At once the wolves caught him. The young woman cried to the wolves, “ please eat my own son instead.” Then, she put her baby son on the ground in front of the wolves and took her nephew away.

Everyone understood that this was because the woman was very good and kind. She had offered her own son’s life to save her nephew.

They ran back to the house and called for help. All men in the village fetched thick sticks and went back with her into the forest. When they got there, they saw something very strange. Instead of eating the woman’s baby the wolves were playing with him.

A fox fell into a well and couldn’t get out. By and by a thirsty goat came along. Seeing the fox in the well it asked if the water was good. “Good”, said the fox. “It’s the best water I’ve tasted in all my life. Come down and try it yourself. “The goat thought of nothing but how thirsty he was. So he jumped into the well. When he had drunk enough he looked around but there was no way to get out. Then the fox said, “I have a good idea. You stand on your hind legs and put your forelegs against the side of the well. Then I’ll climb on your back, from there I’ll step on your horns, and I can get out. And when I’m out I’ll help you out of the well.” The goat did as he was asked and the fox got on his back and so out of the well. Then he coolly walked away. The goat called out loudly after him out. The fox merely turned to him and said, “If you only has as much sense in your head as you have hairs in your beard you wouldn’t have jumped into the well without making sure that you could get out again.

THE OLD WOMAN AND SPARROW

Once upon a time, there lived a kind hearted man and his wife. One morning, his wife found a poor little sparrow. She took it gently and fed it. To show its gratitude, the sparrow stayed with them and sang every morning. But there was an ill-tempered old woman who didn't like the sparrow. She cut the sparrow's tongue. That's why the bird flew away to its previous nest.

Knowing that their sparrow flew away, the kind man and his wife looked for the sparrow. They walked a long way, crossed the bridges, climbed the mountains and passed the woods.

At last, they could find the sparrow's nest. The sparrow welcomed them and provided a feast for them. Before they went home, the sparrow brought two baskets; one was large and looked heavy, and the other one was small and light. The sparrow asked them to choose only one. They chose the small and that was the best choice. There were many rolls of silk and piles of gold in it.

Being jealous, the ill-tempered old woman did the same thing as the kind man and his wife did. She chose the big basket which actually contained wasps and venomous crawlers, such as scorpions, centipedes, and other horrible creatures. Finally, they stung and bit her to death.

The Leap

One day a newly married couple threw a party. Among those who attended, was a man who claimed to be a seasoned traveler. He was an interesting-looking man with a weather beaten face. So, by his appearance, he did look like a well-travelled person.

But once he started talking, there was no stopping him. He bragged to anyone who would listen, about his exploits in countries across the world.

He spoke of many wonderful and heroic feast he had accomplished. "I was an acrobat, a magician, a lion-trainer and even a hunter," he announced in a booming voice.

"I've fought with a tiger, shot an elephant...it's amazing the things I've done," he boasted.

"But friends," and here he lowered his voice for effect, "...it's what I've done in samarqand that beats everything else."

"What did you do in samarqand" asked someone.

The man,who was waiting for that question,immediately launched into a long draw-out yarn.

"There were two buildings facing each other,each at least 50 feet high. That's five stores high. They were 10 metres apart from each other," he said. "Guess what I had to do?"

There was pin drop silence in the audience." You didn't!" Exclaimed someone.

"I did indeed," boosted the traveller. "I jumped from the end of one building to the end of the other. It's the highest flying leap ever recorded.such a large crowd had gathered to watch. Why,people talk about it even now in samarqand."

"Give us something to talk about too," said the host suddenly. "Why don't you show us how you did it? Try leaping between our house and the one facing us. They're barely five metres apart. Come friends, let's go up to the terrace,"he added.

The traveller agreed, "Yes, that would be a good idea. I haven't done a good leap in years" And he started to walk with the others.

Then he stopped. "First I have to visit the bathroom, though. May I?" He asked the host.And he sprinted off to the toilet.

Needless to say, that was the last time anyone saw the traveller in those parts again.

What did the man do in the party?

a)

A.He entertained the guests with his past.

b)

B.He boasted about his past

c)

C.He entertained the guests with his acrobat attraction.
