PAKET 3

Read the text and answer questions 1 to 5.

It was early in the morning we left Ubud and travelled to Gili Air which is one
of three islands of Lombok. It took 4 hours in total by boat. The travelling was not bad
but it was a hot day. I said to Jane on the slow boat " It`s alright babe, it won`t be so
hot and stuffy once we get moving.”

When we got to Gili Air it was still quite so we were able to get a bungalow
near the beach for about $ 15 a night plus breakfast. We shared our room with quite a
number of geckos. Some of them were quite large ones.

The weather was still hot when I went diving. Jane waited for me at the
seashore. She observed some fishermen who had just caught some fish. She did not
want to dive because she had a trauma with sea animals. We had three days here
which we spent walking around the island which takes about an hour. Every night, we
sat on the couches near the beach and watched the waves and the stars.
It was a fantastic journey that I ever had.

Read the text and answer questions 6 to 10.

A man with his donkey carrying two sacks of wheat was on his way to the market. After
a little while he was tired and they rested under a tree.

When he woke up from his nap he could not see the donkey and started searching for
the donkey everywhere. On the way he met a boy, he asked the boy, “Have you seen my
donkey?” The boy asked, “Is the donkey’s left eye blind, his right foot lame and is he
carrying a load of wheat?” The man was happy and said, “Yes, exactly! Where have you
seen it?” the boy answered “I haven’t seen it.” This made the man very angry and he
took the boy to the village chief for punishment.

The judge asked, “Dear boy, if you had not seen at the donkey, how could you describe
it?” The boy answered, “I saw the tracks of a donkey and the right and left tracks were
different from this I understood that the donkey that passed there was limping. And the
grass on the right side of the road was eaten but the grass on the left was not. From that
I understood that his left eye was blind. There were wheat seeds scattered on the
ground and I understood that he must have been carrying a load of wheat. The judge
understood the boy’s cleverness and told the man to forgive the boy.
