Activity 10
Listen to your teacher or friend reading the following story and answer the questions orally.
There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep.
To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!"
The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the
top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces. "Don't cry 'wolf',
shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.
Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty delight, he
watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the wolf away. When the villagers saw no wolf
they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf'
when there is NO wolf!"
But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.
Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as
loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!" But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they
didn't come.
At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep.
They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping.
"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, "Wolf!" Why didn't you come?" An
old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village.
"We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth,
Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!" (Taken from; Aesop Fables)

A DAY TO REMEMBER
About six months ago when I was on holiday in Italy we went to visit the leaning tower of Pisa.
Looking at it from the outside it was massive. I am positively sure that it is one of the seven wonders of the
world. It was crooked and you would really believe it was going to fall, by the angle it sits in. It has 200 steps
leading up to the top. I was quite pleased with myself as I was the first person to reach the top but I was
almost blown off the side when I was nearly deafened by the sound of the bells. You were supposed to wear
earplugs for the noise but we didn’t have any as we didn’t know the bells were going to ring.
When the time came for us to go down again we thought we were going across the road to see a
big round building which had a long round roof. While we were walking inside someone came in and they
were talking very softly but it in fact made a loud echo.
Later we thought we would be sneaky and go down to the graveyard even though we had no
permission. There were a few creepy graves that we thought we would find some bones in but we weren’t in
luck. We looked in every grave that didn’t have a top on but we didn’t find any.
Still, that made our day a thrilling one and one to remember.

Last month, I left Jakarta for Seribu Island. I went there with some
Orientation members of Jakarta fishing club, who organized the monthly fishing activity.
Getting there was not quite easy. It needed two hours by speed boat in a bit
rough wave.
Soon, after our arrival at Seribu Island, we got a general briefing. The
Event 1 chief of the fishing club gave some information about the fishing code. It
included an explanation how to release out the hook from the fish mouth
safely.
Then , we began our fishing. We set out to sea early in the morning.
Event 2 Around 4 kilometers from the beach, we started to fish. Apparently, no one
caught any big fish. We caught mostly small yellowtail fish. After fishing for
nearly four hours, I only got five fish; three yellow fish, one salmon and one
little Merlin. It was not bad at all.

Yesterday I went to the Glendi Festival with nine other kids from my class to take part in the dancing and
to have a good time. This festival is held in March each year in a big city park.
At first we went together to eat in one of the tents. We bought souvlakia, yiros, chips, roast corn on the
cob and drinks. Everything was so tasty.
Afterwards we visited the school tent where we viewed the student projects from many schools. Later we
gathered in front of the large stage. The announcer was calling the school teams one by one to dance Greek
dances. Our turn came! We danced two dances, a kalamatiano and a hasapiko. The crowd gave us a great
