Once upon a time, a poor little boy came into a little village. He was very hungry and weak. He knocked on every door in
the village and asked for some food. But nobody cared about him. Nobody wanted to help the little boy.
Finally, a generous old woman helped him. She gave him shelter and a meal. When the boy wanted to leave, the old
woman gave him a ‘lesung’, a big wooden mortar for pounding rice. She reminded him, “Please remember. If there is a
flood you must save yourself. Use this ‘lesung’ as a boat.” The ‘lesung’ was heavy but he was happy to have it. He
thanked the old woman.

The little boy continued on his journey. While he was passing through the village, he saw many people gathering on a
field. The boy came closer and saw a stick stuck in the ground. People challenged each other to pull out that stick.
Everybody tried, but no one succeeded.

"May I try?” asked the little boy. The crowd laughed mockingly.

40) Once upon a time, a poor little boy came into a little village. He was very hungry and weak. He knocked on every
door in the village and asked for some food. But nobody cared about him. Nobody wanted to help the little boy.
Finally, a generous old woman helped him. She gave him shelter and a meal. When the boy wanted to leave, the old
woman gave him a ‘lesung’, a big wooden mortar for pounding rice. She reminded him, “Please remember. If there is a
flood you must save yourself. Use this ‘lesung’ as a boat.” The ‘lesung’ was heavy but he was happy to have it. He
thanked the old woman.

The little boy continued on his journey. While he was passing through the village, he saw many people gathering on a
field. The boy came closer and saw a stick stuck in the ground. People challenged each other to pull out that stick.
Everybody tried, but no one succeeded.

"May I try?” asked the little boy. The crowd laughed mockingly.

The boy wanted to try his luck so he stepped forward and pulled out the stick. He could do it very easily. Everybody was
dumbfounded.
Suddenly, from the hole left by the stick, water spouted out. It did not stop until it flooded the village. And no one was
safe from the water except the little boy and the generous old woman who gave him shelter and a meal. As she told him,
he used the ‘lesung’ as a boat and picked up the old woman. The whole village became a huge lake. It is known as Rawa
Pening Lake in Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia.

 He challenged the people to pull out the stick from the ground.
 He gave the shelter and some meal for the old woman.
 He used the ‘lesung’ as a boat to save the old woman.

41) Last Friday, my friend asked me to accompany him to buy a new shirt at a department store. We left home at 03.00
p.m. by motorcycle. As soon as we arrived there, we went to the clothes section. I let him choose one. An hour later, I
got bored watching him confused in choosing a shirt. So I left him and went to the cassette counter. Thirty minutes later,
I went back to the clothes section but I couldn’t find him there. My cell phone was broken so I couldn’t call him. I went
to the parking area. I saw his motorcycle was there but I couldn’t find him. I waited for him for a few moments then
finally I gave up and decided to go home.

When I arrived home, my mother told me that my friend called. She said that he was in the department store looking for
me. My mother asked me to come back to the department store. Reluctantly, I walked to the department store and you
know what? When I arrived there his motorcycle was not in the parking area. He just went home. I was very tired. There
was no other choice, I had to walk home again. When I arrived home, I was so tired. I was very angry but when I saw my
friend’s broad smile greet me in front of the door, I just could not help laughing.
