and especially the people of Teberu Kingdom. Today I would like to announce that I will not give
myself to any one of the princes, but rather to all people of Teberu and my own kingdom.” Then
Puteri Mandalika threw herself into the sea from the top of a hill and disappeared. Everybody

Text for questions 35 to 36

For many years people believed that the cleverest animals after man were the chimpanzees. Now,
however, there is a proof that dolphins may be even cleverer than these big apes.

Although a dolphin lives in the sea, it is not a fish. It is a mammal. It is in many ways, therefore, like a
human being.

Dolphins have a simple language. They are able to talk to one another. It may be possible for man to
learn how to talk to dolphins. But, this will not be easy because dolphins cannot hear the kind of
sounds man can make. If man wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he will have to make a third
language which both he and the dolphins can understand.

Dolphins are also very friendly toward man. They often follow ships. There are many stories about
dolphins guiding ships through difficult and dangerous waters

35. What kind of animal is dolphin?

B. Fish
C. Mammal
D. Bird

SURABAYA
A long time ago in East Java there were two strong animals, Sura and Baya. Sura was a shark
and Baya was a crocodile. They lived in a sea. Actually, they were friends. But when they were
hungry, they were very greedy. They did not want to share their food. They would fight for it and
never stop fighting until one of them gave up.
It was a very hot day. Sura and Baya were looking for some food. Suddenly, Baya saw
 a goat. “Yummy, this is my lunch,” said Baya.
“No way! This is my lunch. You are greedy! I had not eaten for two days!” said Sura.
Then Sura and Baya fought again. After several hours, they were very tired. Sura had a plan to stop
their bad behavior.
“I’m tired of fighting, Baya,” said Sura. “Me too. What should we do to stop
fighting? Do you have any idea?” asked Baya. “Yes, I do. Let’s share our territory. I live in the water,
so I look for food in the sea. And you live on the land, right? So, you look for the food also on the
land. The border is the beach, so we will never meet again. Do you agree?” asked Sura.

“Hmm... let me think about it. OK, I agree. From today, I will never go to the sea again. My
place is on the land,” said Baya. Then they both lived in the different places. But one day, Sura went to
the land and looked for some food in the river. He was very hungry and there was not much food in
the sea. Baya was very angry when he knew that Sura broke the promise. “Hey, what are you doing
here? This is my place. Your place is in the sea!” “But, there is water in the river, right? So, this is also
my place!” said Sura.
Then Sura and Baya fought again. They both hit each other. Sura bit Baya's tail. Baya
did the same thing to Sura. He bit very hard until Sura finally gave up. He went back to the sea. Baya
was very happy. He had his place again.
The place where they were fighting was a mess. Blood was everywhere. People then
always talked about the fight between Sura and Baya. They then named the place of the fight as
Surabaya, it’s from Sura the shark and Baya the crocodile. People also put their fight as the symbol of
Surabaya city.
