Last Sunday, my friend and I went to the park because David’s family invited us a barbecue
party in the park. We lived nearby so we just walked there.
When we got to the park, there were not many people. David’s family was already there. They
arrived there early to get the best picnic spot with an electronic barbecue grill nearby. When we
arrived, they were cleaning the barbecue. After making sure the barbecue was clean, they
turned the barbecue on by pushing the button. The electric stove turned on and the metal plate
became hot.
David’s mother put some cooking oil on the metal plate, and after that she put some sausages,
beef steaks, and some onions on the barbecue. Meanwhile, David’s father was preparing the
bread, butter and the drinks.
While waiting for the meat to cook, David and I joined other boys playing football. When we got
tired, we stopped and enjoyed the sausages, steaks, and some cold soft drinks.
The food was delicious. I think David’s mother is one of the best chef in the world.
Holiday in Jakarta
Last holiday, I went to my brother’s home in Jakarta. I went to Jakarta with my father. We went
to Jakarta city by the train. Jakarta it was very interesting, but the atmosphere was too hot for
me.
A few days later, my brother and I went to the zoo in Jakarta. We went to be zoo by taxi. The
zoo was very crowded. There were many traders. After bought the ticket, we went to see the
animal in the zoo.
First, I saw many pelican birds. They were very hungry, so the zoo keeper fed the bird. Then I
saw many deer eaten many hay. In the same cage, I saw ostrich. It was very big. It couldn’t fly
but could run very fast. Its stomach was very big too. After that, we went to take the boat which
was pictured with the image of goose.
Before went back home, we bought some drink and food. We rested in a restroom. I was very
happy it this holiday. I hoped the next holiday would be good too.
Traveling By Air
I really hate flying. Once something happen to me. When I was on board, the plane started
taking off. It seemed that everything was all right. But suddenly I saw smoke coming from
engine of the plane. The engine was on fire and the plane started to rattle. Suddenly the captain
said to us in a very calm voice. “Ladies and gentleman, we are having a little problem with one
of the engines. There is no need to panic. Keep your seat belts fastened. We are going to return
the airport.”
You can imagine how frightened I was, but the crew was fantastic. The flight attendants were
really calm and told us not to worry. One of them told me to relax and said that everything would
be all right.
A few minutes later, we were coming in to land, the pilot made a smooth landing on the runway.
It was over, and we were safe.
I took a taxi and went home. From that day on, I decided not to fly anymore.
One day I went to Bandung with my friend for a vacation. We went there on night bus. When
arrived in Cianjur, the bus stopped for a rest. I got off the bus to get a cup of coffee, but my
friend didn’t. He went to a mosque to pray. It took only a few minutes to pray, but went I came
out again the bus was not there. It had gone! Shocked and confused. I asked the shopkeeper
about the bus. She said that the bus had departed about five minutes ago.
I tried to call my friend on my cell phone, but the battery was running low. I couldn’t do anything
but hope and pray. After several minutes, my wish came true. The bus came back! Got on the
bus and walked to my seat. I was so ashamed when everybody on the looked at me. I could feel
my face turned red.
I asked my friend why she didn’t tell the driver that I was still outside. “I did, I told him several
times that you were outside, but he said that you were in the bus toilet because he saw a man
going into the toilet,” my friend replied, laughing. The other passengers smiled at me. I was so
embarrassed.
Tessie
We were moving house and dad asked me to help him sort out all the boxes in the storeroom. I
hadn’t been in the storeroom for aged and wondered what we would find. One wall was line with
shelves, stacked with boxes almost to the ceiling there where many other wrapped up objects of
different shafts and sizes. Dad opened the boxes and rummage through them. I moved over to
a wooden box and was just about to lift the lid when it toppled over. Everything fell out into a
heap.
Then I saw it! My heart began to pound and many knees began to shake. It was a rubber ring. It
had belonged to my beloved dog. Tessie. She died two years ago.
I was only four when we got Tessie. I chose her from among other puppies. She was my best
friend. Although she had a basket in the kitchen she would creep up to my room at night and
sleep in the bottom of the bed. If I was cold she would snuggle up next to me.
Tessie could do anything. She could beg and sit and shake a paw. I taught her to fetch things.
One Christmas, I bought her rubber ring. I wrapped it up in shiny paper and place it under
Christmas tree. She played with it every day. Tessie would wait at the front door went she knew
it was time for me to come home from school. She would howl the painting with the rubber ring
in front of her. If didn’t play, she would howl and wouldn’t stop until did. In the weekend we
would take the ring to the playground and play four hours and hours until neither of us could run
anymore.
Then one day Tessie fell ill. She didn’t wait for me by the front door anymore and she didn’t
want to play with the ring. I tried to encourage her, “Come on, Tessie. Come and play.”
Seemed out of breath she couldn’t walk very well and she wasn’t eating properly. Mum and I
took her to the vet. The vet shook her head and told us that Tessie was really sick.
There, nothing they can do for her, ‘mum whispered to me.
I went to the room where Tessie was waiting and said my goodbyes I felt her warm fur for the
last time on my face and then I ran outside and cried…..
Once upon a time, there was a man who was living in north Sumatra. He lived in a simple hut in
a farming field. He did some gardening and fishing for his daily life.
One day, while the man was do fishing, he caught a big golden fish in his trap. It was the
biggest catch which he ever had in his life. Surprisingly, this fish turned into a beautiful princess.
He felt in love with her and proposed her to be his wife. She said; “Yes, but you have to promise
not to tell anymore about the secret that I was once a fish, otherwise there will be a huge
disaster”. The man made the deal and they got married, lived happily and had daughter.
Few years later, his daughter would help bringing lunch to her father out in the fields. One day,
his daughter was so hungry and she ate his father’s lunch. Unfortunately, he found out and got
furious, and shouted; “You damned daughter of a fish”. The daughter ran home and asked her
mother. The mother started crying, felt sad that her husband had broken his promise.
Then she told her daughter to run up the hills because a huge disaster was about to come.
When her daughter left, she prayed. Soon there was a big earthquake followed by non-stop
pouring rain. The whole area got flooded and became Toba Lake. She turned into a fish again
and the man became the island of Samosir.
The hunters were after Freddie the fox. He flew across the fields in terror, until he saw a wood-
cutter returning from woods. “Please help me!” Freddie gasped. “Go and hide in my hut there,”
replied the wood-cutter. Freddie looked out of the hut. He saw the hunters stop and ask the
woodsman if they had seen a fox.
“No,” said the tree-cutter loud enough for Freddie to hear, but as he spoke he pointed his finger
towards the hut.
Luckily for Freddie, the hunters didn’t notice this and rode away. The fox slipped out of the hut
to run home. “Aren’t you even going to say thank you to me for saving you?” Asked the wood-
cutter as Freddie went past him. “I would have done,” replied Freddie. “but I saw how you tried
to betray me.”
In the olden times there was a king who was so cruel and unjust toward his subjects that he was
always called the Tyrant. So heartless was he that his people used to pray night and day that
they might have a new king.
One day, much to their surprise, he called his people together and said to them, “My dear
subjects, the days of my tyranny are over. Henceforth, you shall live in peace’s and happiness,
for I have decided to try my rule henceforth justly and well.”
The king kept his word so well that soon he was known throughout the land as The Just King.
By and by one of his favorites came to him said, “Your Majesty, I beg you to tell me how it was
that you had this change of heart towards your people.
And the king replied, “As I was galloping through my forest one afternoon, I caught a sight of a
hound chasing a fox. The fox escaped into his hole, but not until he had bitten by the dog so
badly that he would be lame for life. The hound, returning home, met a man who threw a stone
at him, which broke his leg. And the horse, starting to run, fell into a hole and broke his leg.
Here I came to my senses, and resolved to change my rule. ‘For surely,’ I said to myself, he’s
who does evil will sooner or later be overtaken by evil.”
