Dear Wanda,
How’s everything? I’m having a great time. I’m in Malang for a holiday now. I have been
in this town for a week.
Yesterday my aunty, Latina, took me to Jawa Timur Park in Batu. It was amazing. The
park provided a lot of things to enjoy, such as a bird park, a flower park, a children park, and
“Gallery Belaya”. The last was so interesting. Some scientific exhibitions could be found
here. Visitors could try them. I think you would be curious to do it if you were there.
The other day we went to “Coban Rondo”. It was a fresh and cool waterfall on the slope
of mountain. We should pass a small path along the jungle to come to the place. I enjoyed
very much.
On the last day we went to “Ngliyep”. It was a quiet beach. The most interesting to do on
the beach was playing with the sand. Tito and Mirna, my cousins, built a big castle with the
sand. I joined them. We were happy when the waves came and they swept the big castle we
made. We laughed together.
Well Wanda, that’s all from me now. I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Please
reply this soon. Give my best regard to both you and your family.
Yours,

Vivi

give them children.
Sometime later Joko Seger had a dream. In his dream he was told that he would have
descendants but on one condition. The god asked him to sacrifice his children to the crater of mount
Bromo. If he refused to sacrifice, then the god will be angry. Without thinking twice Joko Seger agreed
to the condition.
After that, every year Roro Anteng gave birth to twenty five children. They were very happy and
they loved their children so much that they were reluctant to sacrifice them to the crater. They did not
give anything to the crater. Then something happened.

One day there was a big eruption of mount Bromo. Smoke, fire, hot cloud of ash came out of its
crater. The earth was trembling. The sky was dark. Animals ran away from the mountain. People were
very scared since some of them became victims of the hot cloud.
Joko Seger and Roro Anteng remembered their promise to god. He realized that god was very
angry. So he decided to sacrifice one of his sons. Then he went to the crater with his youngest son
Kusuma. Because Joko Seger did not really want to sacrifice his son to the crater, he tried to hide
him. But suddenly an eruption began and made Kusuma fall. Afterwards, Kusuma, who had fell to the
crater, gave a voice, "I have to be sacrificed by my parents so that you will all stay alive. From now
on, you should arrange an annual offering ceremony on the 14th of Kesodo (the twelfth month of
Tenggerese calender.)"
Since then on Joko Seger and Roro Anteng gave offerings to the crater. Every year on the 14th
day of the month of Kesada the people of Tengger held a ceremony to give offerings.
