Legend of the Keong Mas (Golden Snail)

Prince Raden Putra was married to a princess named Dewi Limaran. One day when she was walking in the palace garden, she saw a snail among her owers. She told one of her servants to pick it up and throw it away. The snail was actually an old witch who had disguised herself. The witch was very angry, so she changed Dewi Limaran into a golden snail, which she threw into the river. It was carried far away. A poor, sad widow, who had a hut near a river in the forest, lived from fishing. One day it was a bad day as she didnt catch any fish. Just as she was about to give up, she saw something shining at the bottom of her net. It was a golden snail. She picked it up, took it home and put it in a pot. Then she went to bed and fell asleep. The next morning when she woke up, she found that the oor had been swept clean, and there was some food on the table. She wondered who had done all this. To find out more, the poor widow hid herself. She saw the snail creep out of the pot and transform into a lovely, young girl. The empty shell fell to the ground behind her. Quickly the young girl swept the oor and began to cook. The poor widow realised that the girl was under a witchs spell, and she knew what she had to do to break it. She took the empty shell, rushed out of the hut and threw it into the river. But she had broken only a part of the spell, and the rest of it must still be broken before the girl could return to her husband. Many years passed by. Prince Raden Putra never stopped searching for his wife. One day, he was travelling with a servant. They went from place to place until they lost their way in the forest. Finally, they came to a big river and saw a hut. They went to it to ask for some food and drink. The old woman welcomed them warmly and told them her daughter would cook them a meal. The meal was excellent, and Raden Putra asked whether he might meet and thank her daughter. The old woman called her daughter and the girl came in with her eyes on the oor. When Raden Putra saw her, he caught his breath in great surprise. Can this be true? he cried out. The girl recognized his voice and raised her eyes. Radan Putra and Dewi Limaran were reunited and, filled with love and happiness, they returned to their kingdom. The poor widow was invited to live in the palace. Now she has everything she wants and her sadness has left her forever.

The Komodo dragon is a large species of lizard found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang and Gili Dasami. It is the largest living species of lizard. It can grow to a length of 3 metres and can weigh up to 70 kilograms. Its ancestors go back over three and a half million years. As a result of their size, these lizards dominate the ecosystems in which they live. Komodo dragons hunt animals and birds for food. They lay their eggs in September. About twenty eggs are deposited in a nesting hole. They are incubated for seven to eight months, hatching in spring, when insects are most plentiful. Young Komodo dragons are vulnerable and therefore live in trees. They take about eight to nine years to mature, and are estimated to live for up to 30 years by comparison the giant salamander can live for over half a century. Komodo dragons were rst recorded by Western scientists in 1910. Their large size and fearsome reputation make them popular zoo exhibits.

They are protected under Indonesian law, and a national park, Komodo National Park, was founded to aid protection efforts.

A Yorkshire building contractor was fined 200 yesterday for speeding, and disqualified from driving for one month after he admitted driving at 110 mph in an 80-mph restricted area along the Bradford by-pass. The ban imposed on Stanley Smith, 39, of Ronald Road, Bradford, could bring his firm to a standstill, the court was told.

The girl monkey and the string of pearls

One day a king and his family decided to go swimming in the lake in the garden of their palace. The queen and her ladies left their jewels in charge of their servants. As the queen put her string of pearls away in a box, she was watched by a girl monkey that was sitting in the branches of a tree nearby. At first the queens servant kept her eyes on the jewellery box. But after a while she fell fast asleep. As soon as the monkey saw this, she jumped down, opened the box, picked up the string of pearls, and, quick as the wind, she was up in the tree again. She hid the pearls in a hole in the tree, then she sat nearby, looking as if nothing had happened. By and by the servant woke up to find that the string of pearls had disappeared. A man has run off with the queens string of pearls, she cried, and the guards came running. I did not move from the place. But the day is hot, and I was tired. I must have fallen asleep. But the chief guard said to himself: There is something strange here. There was a guard at the gates, so that no one from the outside could get into the garden. Perhaps one of the monkeys in the garden took the string of pearls. Then he thought of a trick. He bought a number of strings of brightly coloured glass beads. After dark that night he hung the strings of glass beads on the low bushes in the garden. When the monkeys saw beads the next morning, they all ran for a string except for the girl monkey who had taken the queens pearls. She sat quietly near the hole where she had hidden the pearls. The other monkeys were greatly pleased with their beads. It is too bad you didnt get a string, they said to her. At last she could stand it no longer. She put on the queens string of pearls and came down, saying proudly: You have only strings of glass beads. See my string of pearls! Thus the chief guard, who had been hiding nearby, caught the girl monkey and took her at once to the king. It was this girl monkey, your Majesty, who took the pearls. The king asked the chief guard how he had found out who took them. The chief guard told the king about the trick he had played with the beads. You are the right man in the right place, said the king, and he thanked the chief guard over and over again.

How do animals communicate?
Most animals use some kind of body language. Dogs wag their tails when they are pleased; cats arch their backs when they feel threatened; chimpanzees greet each other by touching hands; gorillas stick out their tongues to show anger; and horses rub noses to show affection. Many animals also communicate by smell. They release pheromones (airborne chemicals) to send messages to others. Ants, for example, use pheromones for alarm calls and mate attraction. Dogs and cats leave chemicals in and around their territory to signal to other members of the species that they are the occupants of that territory. Many animals communicate vocally. Dogs bark, cows moo, cats meow. This kind of communication is important for mating rituals, warning calls, informing about food sources and social learning. And here are two more interesting facts: It has been discovered that whales have a different dialect of their whale song depending on where they are. Different species also communicate with each other by means of signs, sounds and smell.

Indonesias traffic nightmare a dream for ojeks

Jakartas terrible traffic jams cost the Indonesian capital billions of dollars a year, but they also provide a great opportunity for one group of people - ojek drivers. In this city of around 10 million inhabitants motorcycle taxi (ojek) drivers are doing great business. Although they have been part of the city landscape for years, ojeks have become an extremely popular form of transport because they can make their way between vehicles stuck in heavy traffic. Nadiem Makarim, 27, graduated from a US university with a masters degree in business administration and, upon returning to his homeland, decided there was money to be made out of Jakartas traffic nightmare. He founded a company called GO-JEK as the first professionally run ojek service in the city. GO-JEKs Web site promises improved safety thanks to careful driver recruitment, a call centre to help solve any problems and a transparent, distancebased fare system. Their Web site offers GO-JEK tweets and reviews, profiles a driver of the month, and describes the companys aim to improve the livelihood of hard-working ojek drivers in Jakarta. Five months after establishing his company, Makarim has about 200 drivers and is planning further expansion. And it is not only GO-JEK that is profiting from Jakartas traffic jams. Independent ojek driver Hermanto, 21, said the traffic jams are his bread and butter. I love it when the traffic gets more congested in the city. The worse the traffic, the more we get hired, he said. Ojek drivers can earn about 150,000 rupiah a day a comfortable living in a country where millions of people survive on less than 20,000 rupiah a day.

L.A. basin still the smoggiest US city

Los Angeles (AP) Once again, the mountain-ringed Los Angles has been named by the Environmental Protection Agency as the smoggiest city in the nation. The EPA said Thursday the region exceeds federal ozone standards on over 100 days a year. The good news is that on bad days we are no longer four times over the federal ozone standard as we used to be, says Brad Pickford, spokesman for the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The bad news is that we are still three times over the standard. All of the nations 10 smoggiest regions are in California, with San Bernardino, Riverside, Kern, Tulare and Los Angeles leading the group. This is due to the large number of ports, refineries, power plants and to the crowded freeways in The Golden State.

Business and economy of Indonesia
The economy of Indonesia is mainly based on agriculture. Approximately 90% of the population works in agriculture. Today Indonesia can produce all its own rice and no longer needs to import it. It is a major exporter of agricultural products such as coffee and tea. Tourism is on the increase and has become a major foreign exchange earner for the country. About six million tourists visit Indonesia every year and spend about 6.3 billion US dollars. Three quarters of the visitors come from the Asia-Pacific region. The UK, France and Germany are the largest sources of European visitors. Indonesia is rich in natural resources and exports rubber, tin, nickel and copper. Indonesia used to export a lot of oil and gas, but rising domestic consumption and stagnant oil production has now made Indonesia an oil importer. In recent years measures have been taken to promote non-oil exports, which include handicrafts, textiles, precious metals, tea, tobacco, cement, fertilizers as well as manufactured goods. Indonesias foreign exchange system has few restrictions on transfers abroad, and in general freely allows conversions to and from foreign currencies. The Rupiah the Indonesian currency is linked to the currencies of Indonesias major trading partners. The government now gives high priority to expansion and the creation of jobs in the less developed regions of the country. Certain incentives are offered to attract foreign investment.
