My First Ride in Parade

My father got me an old bicycle when I was ten years old since it was tiny, light, and easy to ride. I persuaded my father to teach me how to ride a bike. My father initially opposed my request and offered to teach me a year or three later, but I still complained. Finally, my father agreed.

He began teaching me how to ride my bike around the field. My father was patient in giving me instructions. I was overjoyed when I found I could ride a bike.

Later that month, while I was at home alone, I went outside on my bike and ran into Ardi. He invited me to his home. It turned out that many of my pals had gathered with their bicycles in the yard. They were adorning their bicycles in preparation for a parade marking Indonesia’s Independence Day.

After that, I informed my father about the parade. I expected my father to be happy and allow me to join the parade. On the other hand, he firmly prohibited me because I had only learnt to cycle for three days and I was not yet proficient. The parade route will be incredibly long and maybe dangerous for me. My father was concerned and advised me to keep practicing so that I could possibly participate in the parade the following year.

His brother     

b)

Once upon a time there was a poor widow who had an only son named Jack. They were so poor that they didn’t have anything except a cow. When the cow had grown too old, his mother sent Jack to the market to sell it. On the way to the market, Jack met a butcher who had some beautiful beans in his hand. The butcher told the boy that the beans were of great value and persuaded the silly lad to sell the cow.

Jack brought them happily. When he told his mother about this, his mother became so angry that she threw the beans out of the window.

When Jack woke up in the morning, he felt the sun shining into a part of his room, but all the rest was quite dark and shady.

So, he jumped to the window. What did he see? The beanstalk grew up quite close past Jack’s window. He opened the window and jumped to the beanstalk which ran up just like a big ladder.

He climbed and climbed till at last he reached the sky. While looking around, he saw a very huge castle. He was very amazed.

Then Jack walked along the path leading to the castle. There was a big tall woman on the doorstep. Jack greeted her and asked for the giantess’ mercy to give him breakfast, because he felt very hungry. Although the giantess grumbled at first, finally she gave Jack a hunk of bread and cheese and a jug of milk.

Jack hadn’t finished when the whole house began to tremble with the noise from someone’s coming. “Oh! It’s my husband!’ cried the giantess. “What on earth shall I do?”

Hesitantly the giantess opened a very big cupboard and hid Jack there.

The Rabbit and the Turtle


One day a rabbit was boasting about how fast he could run. He was laughing at the turtle for being so slow.

Much to the rabbit’s surprise, the turtle challenged him to a race. The rabbit thought this was a good joke and accepted the challenge. The fox was the umpire of the race. As the race began, the rabbit raced way ahead of the turtle, just like everyone thought.

The rabbit got to the halfway point and could not see the turtle anywhere. He was hot and tired and decided to stop and take a short nap. All this time the turtle kept walking step by step by step. He never quit no matter how hot or tired he got. He just kept going.

However, the rabbit slept longer than he had thought and woke up. He could not see the turtle anywhere! He went at full-speed to the finish line but found the turtle there waiting for him.
