Please practice your literacy reading !

Orientation Long long time ago, there was a farmer couple. They were staying in a
village near a forest. They lived happily.

Complication 1 Unfortunately, they hadn’t had any children yet.

Resolution 1 Every day they prayed to God for a child. One day a giant passed their
home. He heard what they were praying. Then the giant gave them a
cucumber seed.
“Plant this seed, then you’ll get a daughter,” said the giant. “Thank you,
Giant,” said the couple. “But in one condition, in her 17-th birthday, you
must give her to me,” said the Giant. The couple wanted a child so much
that they agreed without thinking first.
Then the couple planted the cucumber seed. Each day they took care the
growing plant so carefully. Months later, a golden cucumber grew from
the plant. The cucumber was getting heavier and bigger each day. When it
was ripe, they picked it. Carefully they cut out the cucumber and how
surprised were they when they found a beautiful baby inside. They were
so happy. They named the baby Timun Mas, or Golden Cucumber.
Complication 2 Years were passing by and Timun Mas had grown into a beautiful girl.
Her parents were very proud of her. But their happiness turned to fear
when her 17th birthday came. The giant returned to ask for their promise.
He was going to take Timun Mas away.
The farmer tried to be calm. “Just a moment, please. Timun Mas is
playing. My wife will call her,” he said. Then the farmer came to his
daughter. “My child, take this,” as he was giving her a little bag to Timun
Mas. “This will help you from the giant. Now, run as fast as you can,” he

3
 ordered. So Timun Mas ran away.
Complication 3 The couple was very sad about her leaving. But they didn’t want the giant
to eat Timun Mas. Meanwhile, the giant had been waiting for too long. He
became impatient. Somehow he knew that the couple had lied to him. So
he destroyed their house and ran for Timun Mas.
The giant was chasing Timun Mas and he was getting closer and closer.
Timun Mas then took a handful of salt from her little bag. She spread out
the salt behind her. Suddenly a wide sea appeared between them. The
giant had to swim to reach her.
Resolution 3 Timun Mas was still running, but now the giant almost caught her. Then
she took some chilly and threw them to the giant. The chilly suddenly
grew into some trees and trapped the giant. The trees grew some thorns as
sharp as a knife. The giant screamed painfully. At the mean time, Timun
Mas could escape again.
Complication 4 But the giant was very strong. Again he almost caught Timun Mas. So
Timun Mas took the third magic stuff, the cucumber seeds. She threw the
seeds and suddenly they became a wide cucumber field. The giant was
very tired and hungry so he ate those fresh cucumbers. He ate too much
that he felt sleepy and fell asleep soon.
Resolution 4 Timun Mas kept on running as fast as she could. But soon she was very
tired herself. To make things worse, the giant had woken up! Timun Mas
was so scared. Desperately she then threw her last weapon, terasi (a kind
of shrimp pasta). IT did a miracle again. The pasta became a big swamp.
The giant fell into it but his hands almost reached Timun Mas. Suddenly
the lake pulled him to the bottom. The giant panicked and he couldn’t
breathe. At last he was drown.
Re-orientation Timun Mas was very relieved. She was safe now. Then she returned to her
parents’ house. Her parents were of course very happy to see their
daughter safe and sound. “Thanks God. You have saved my daughter,”
they cried happily. From then on, Timun Mas lived happily with her
parents with no fear anymore.

One day a rabbit was boasting about how fast he could run. He was laughing at the
turtle for being so slow. Much to the rabbit’s surprise, the turtle challenged him to a race.
The rabbit thought this was a good joke and accepted the challenge. The fox was to be the
umpire of the race. As the race began, the rabbit raced way ahead of the turtle, just like
everyone thought.
The rabbit got to the halfway point and could not see the turtle anywhere. He was
hot and tired and decided to stop and take a short nap. Even if the turtle passed him, he
would be able to race to the finish line ahead of him. All this time the turtle kept walking
step by step by step. He never quit no matter how hot or tired he got. He just kept going.
However, the rabbit slept longer than he had thought and woke up. He could not see
the turtle anywhere! He went at full speed to the finish line but found the turtle there
waiting for him.
Moral: never underestimate the weakest opponent.

The Blue Whale

The Blue Whale is largest whale and the largest living creature on Earth. Blue
whales were hunted a lot for oil, baleen, meat, and other products from the 1930s to the
1960s. This hunting almost caused the extinction of the species. They are now protected
and may gradually be returning in several areas.

Blue whales are mainly found in very cold waters, like the Arctic and Antarctic
waters. They migrate to the tropics in the winter and to the Arctic and Antarctic in summer.

Blue whales can reach over 24 m (80 ft) long; mature females are usually a bit
longer than mature males. They weigh between 87,500-142,500 kg. The skin has a light
grey and white spotty pattern.

Blue whales feed by opening its mouth into dense groups of small sea creatures like
plankton, krill or fish. Blue whales are mammals. They give birth once every two or three
years. Mating occurs during the summer season, and they give birth after about 11 months.
The calf nurse for seven or eight months and gain weight about 90 kg (200 lb) per day.

GENERIC STRUCTURE:
I. GENERAL CLASSIFICATION

The blue whale is the largest animal that ever lived on Earth. It is also
the loudest animal on earth.

CLASSIFICATION;

Blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) are baleen whales (Suborder Mysticeti). They
are one of 76 cetacean species, and are marine mammals. 

Kingdom Animalia (animals)
Phylum Chordata (vertebrates)
Class Mammalia (mammals)
Order Cetacea (whales and dolphins)
Suborder Mysticeti (baleen whales)
Family Balaenopteridae
Genus Balaenoptera

16
Species musculus
SubspeciesB.m. intermedia (from the southern hemisphere), B.m. musculus (from the
northern hemisphere in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans), and B.m. brevicauda (the pygmy
blue whale; Yochem and Leatherwood 1985).

II. DESCRIPTION

1. Physical features; a. Blue whales grow to be about 80 feet (25 m) long on average,
weighing about 120 tons (109 tones).

b. The largest specimen found was a female 94 feet (29 m) long weighing more 174 tons
(158 tones).

c. The females are larger than males, as with all baleen whales. The largest of the blue
whales (150 tons) has a heart that weighs about 1,000 pounds (450 kg) and has 14,000
pounds (6,400 kg) of blood circulating in its body.

d. The heart is about the size of a Volkswagon bug car. A human could crawl through the
aorta (a major blood vessel).

e. The blue whale's skin is usually blue-gray with white-gray spots. The underbelly has
brown, yellow, or gray specks.

f. They have a very small, falcate (sickle-shaped) dorsal fin that is located near the flukes
(tail).

g. Blue whales have long, thin flippers 8 feet long (2.4 m) and flukes that are 25 feet (7.6
m) wide.

h. These gray-blue whales have 2 blowholes and a 2-14 inch (5-30 cm) thick layer of
blubber. 

2. HABITAT;

Blue whales live at the surface of the ocean and are found in all the oceans of the world. 

3. Habits

a. Blue whales (like all baleen whales) are seasonal feeders and carnivores that filter feed
tiny crustaceans (krill, copepods, etc.), plankton, and small fish from the water.

17
An average-sized blue whale will eat 2,000-9,000 pounds (900-4100 kg) of plankton each
day during the summer feeding season in cold, arctic waters ( about 120 days).

b. Blue whales are very fast swimmers; they normally swim 3-20 mph (4.8-32 kph), but can
go up to 24-30 mph (38-48 kph) in bursts when in danger. Feeding speeds are slower, about
1-4 mph (1.6-6.2 kph).

c. Blue whales can dive for up to an hour, going to a depth of 350 feet (105 m).

d. Blue whales breathe air at the surface of the water through 2 blowholes located near
the top of the head. They spout (breathe) about 1-4 times per minute at rest, and 5-12
times per minutes after a deep dive.

e. Blue whales are the loudest animals on Earth!

They are probably the loudest animals alive, louder than a jet engine.

f. Blue whales live individually or in very small pods (groups). They frequently swim in pairs.

4. Breeding;

Blue whales breed by giving birth

Blue whale breeding occurs mostly in the winter to early spring while near the surface and
in warm waters. The gestation period is about 11-12 months.

5. Life span;

Blue whales have a life expectancy of 35-40 years. 

6. Predators;

Killer whales (orcas) have been known to attack and kill young blue whales. Man also hunted
blue whales.

7. Population;

It is estimated that there are about 10,000-14,000 blue whales world-wide. Blue whales
are an endangered species. These whales (and many other large whales) were over-hunted
for many years, since their meat, oil, and other body parts are very valuable.
