On August 17th SMP Merdeka held a school parade to celebrate Independence Day. All students joined the event and so did Galang and his friends. They dressed up like the Indonesian freedom fighters during the Independence war. Some of them brought guns, spiked bamboos, swords, and many more. They also wore many red and white attributes making the event more patriotic. In the beginning, as instructed, all participants lined up and started to march. Then, they marched along the decided route passing some villages near SMP Merdeka. The villagers were very excited to watch the parade pass their houses. Many of them stood along the street welcoming and cheering the parade. Not so long after, the parade reached the rest post. It was the place for participants to draw a door prize coupon and have some drinks. After drawing a coupon, they continued to parade to their school as the final destination. After returning to school, all participants took some rest while waiting for the door prize announcement. Finally, the headmaster announced the winner. There were ten students who got the door prize and Galang was one of them. Everyone felt happy with the events.

Parade Independence Day

The Independence Day parade was amazing! There were oats, marching bands, and even a yover

by the Air Force. It was a great way to celebrate our country's birthday.

I woke up early that morning, excited to see the parade. I met up with my family and we headed to the parade route. We found a spot near the front and waited for the parade to start.

The parade started with a group of veterans marching in formation. They were followed by a oat with a giant American ag. Then came the marching bands. They were all so talented, and it was so much fun to watch them play The parade was over in just a few hours, but it was a lot of fun. It was a great way to celebrate our country's birthday and to show our patriotism.

Galang                       : Dad, please tell me more about the Panjat Pinang. 

Pak Rahmansyah        : At that time, the committee put a lot of prizes like sarong, groceries, radio,

                                     TV, and even a bike on the top of the tree.

Galang                       : Wow! It’s really hard to climb the tree, isn’t it? 

Pak Rahmansyah        : Yes, it is. The tree was full of grease. 

Galang                       : Did you get to the top of the tree?

Pak Rahmansyah        : At rst, I didn’t. Many climbers also failed to climb up because the tree was   

                                    slippery. That was the funniest part, though. 

Galang                       : Did you give up?

Pak Rahmansyah        : No, we never gave up.

Galang                       : So, what did you do then?

Pak Rahmansyah        : First, we made a human ladder and wiped off the grease bit by bit. 

Galang                       : Then, what?

Pak Rahmansyah        : One of us nally got to the top and threw the prizes to the ground.

A school parade Hi, readers. How did you celebrate your Independence Day? I celebrated it by joining a school parade. We had so much fun before and during the parade. Let me tell you how it went. In the beginning, we prepared our costumes. Every class had to choose one student to dress as an Indonesian hero. I was chosen as the class representative. I dressed as Cut Nyak Dien. Other students wore red and white clothes. After I dressed up, I went around the school with all the students. During the parade, we sang the ‘Hari Merdeka’ song. There was a marching band following us. Suddenly, it started to rain. We ran back to our classroom. Finally, after the rain stopped, we gathered back at the schoolyard. The headmaster announced the winner of the best costume. A student from the other class won. He dressed up as Tuanku Imam Bonjol. The school parade was fun and made us remember our national heroes. I was so proud. I could not wait to join this again next year.

It welcomed students from every grade to participate in many fun games, such as tug of war, krupuk race, sack race, tandem race, and the marble in spoon race. Many students participated, which made all the games so exciting. In the beginning, I participated in the marble-in-spoon race. It was a very tight game between me and Galang. I almost beat him at the beginning of the race, but he was so fast and steady. He could even run with it. He came first and I came second. The next game was a tug of war, sack race, and tandem race. All the games were held at the same time. I saw Andre participate in the sack race. At first, he led the race, but suddenly he fell in the middle of the race. But finally, he came second. Meanwhile, Pipit participated in a tandem race with our friends. Her team came third. It was not too bad. The last game was the krupuk race. Once again I met Galang in the final. The fun part was I finished first and he finished after me. I finished my krupuk with three or four bites. It was a joyful day at my school. Everyone put a smile on their faces. I was delighted. At the end of the event, my class was announced as the grand champion of the whole competition.

There was once a king who had eleven sons and one daughter. Her name was Elisa. Sadly, their mother died. The king chose a new wife, but she was wicked.

The new queen sent the brother and Elisa away, but before they went, she tried to change the boys into ugly birds. Instead, they turned into beautiful wild swans.
One night Elisa dreamed that she flew to fairy's castle. "How can I help my brothers?" she asked the fairy.

The fairy told her to gather stinging nets that grew in a dark, scary graveyard. With these she must make eleven shirts.

As Elisa left the dream castle, the fairy said, "You must not speak from the moment you begin this task until it is finished. If you do, your brothers will all die."

When Elisa woke up, she went to a nearby grave yard and picked all the nettles she could find.

They stung her hands till others were red. As she worked, she never spoke to her brother.

In a few days, the shirts were done. She put them on the eleven swans, and there stood the eleven princes. The spell was broken, and soon they sent the evil queen far away.
