Telaga Warna
The king of a famous kingdom in Cipanas, West Java, was very wise man. He had a beautiful daughter.
The king and queen loved their daughter so much. But all their love was not enough for the princess. Even
though they gave her everything, she was not happy. All the jewelries that they had were not enough for her.
She was not satisfied with her gorgeous look either.
The princess then had an idea. She planned to put all the jewelries that they had in every single hair in
her head. She wanted to be the most beautiful girl in the world. So the princess went to see her mother and
father and told them about her plan. She was very sure they would not say no. The king was surprised to hear
about his daughter plan. He tried to convince her that her plan was not proper.
My Daughter, the beauty of a princess is not measured by her clothes or by the jewelry she is wearing,
but by her attitude. It's not that we don't love you, but what will people think if you go through with your
plan? said the king. The princess was shocked to hear that. So she ran to her room to get her jewelry box.
Then she returned to her parents. She screamed, You are so miserable. Here, I am returning the every single
jewelry you ever gave me. She threw her jewelry box to her father.
The wise king was outraged seeing his daughter did. You are ungrateful daughter!
Suddenly, the floor of the palace erupted and water poured out from the crack. In a matter of second
the palace flooded, drowning the ungrateful princess and her jewelry. The palace then turned into a lake.
The lake always reflects multiple colors to its surrounding. Some say the colors come from the
princess's jewelry. The lake is known as Telaga Warna that means colorful lake.

a. To entertain the readers.

When I was in Junior High School, I was not a very diligent student. In fact, I was quite lazy. I hated
all the subjects that I took during school, especially science. For me, science was very difficult. It was hard
for me to remember the chemical processes, physics calculations, and biological processes.
Once, my teacher grounded me in the library because I did not do my Biology homework. The
teacher asked me to read several books and make a summary on them. When I was browsing the shelves,
I found a book entitled The Inventors of Medicine. I thought, OK, this is a start. I took it out then began
reading it.
From the book I learned about Edward Jenner. He was an English doctor who found the cure for
smallpox. The next one was Louis Pasteur. His interest in bacteria led him to discover the treatments for
rabies and anthrax. Just like Pasteur, Robert Kochs experiments on bacteria also proved that tuberculosis
can be spread to others by contact. Finally, there was Alexander Flemming, a British bacteriologist who
found the first antibiotic and penicillin.
After that I try to spend my break time in the library and I want to be a diligent student.
