The two frogs

One night two frogs found themselves in a diary. Hopping and
jumping around as frogs do. They both jumped into a milk pail half full of
milk.
Pada suatu malam ada dua katak terdampar di sebuah pabrik susu.
Mereka

melompat-lompat

layaknya

katak.

Kedua

katak

tersebut

melompat ke dalam ember yang berisi setengah air susu.

After swimming around for some time they tried to get out. But the
inside of the pail was too slippery and there was nothing on which they
could rest so that they could jump out. One frog thought it was useless
trying to swim on and just gave up hope and sunk and was drowned.
Setelah berenang-renang beberapa saat mereka mencoba keluar,
namun ember terlalu licin dan tidak ada pijakan untuk keluar. Salah satu
katak berfikir sia-sia kalau hanya berenang-renang and hanya pasrah
tenggelam.
The other carried on swimming hoping against hope that something
would turn up. He swam and swam until it began to feel tired. But this
time the milk which was full of cream had become thick. When the frog
had swum some more the cream had been stirred so much that it became
a solid lump of butter.
Katak yang satunya lagi bersikeras tetap berenang berharap akan
ada keajaiban. Dia tetap berenang dan berenang sampai merasa lelah.

Akhirnya susu yang penuh dengan krim menjadi padat. Saat katak itu
berenang beberapa krim telah teraduk sehingga akhirnya menjadi seperti
gumpalan mentega yang keras.
On this the frog could scramble and rest. And from it he could easily
jump out of the pail into safety.
Dengan demikian akhirnya katak dapat berusaha keluar dan
istirahat. Dan pada akhirnya dia dapat keluar dari ember dengan selamat.

The legend of Banyuwangi

Once upon a time, there was a local ruler named King Sulahkromo.
The king had a prime minister named Raden Sidopekso. The prime
Minister had a wife named Sri tanjung. She was so beautiful that the king
wanted her to be his wife.
Zaman dahulu kala, hiduplah seorang penguasa bernama Raja
Sulahkromo. Raja itu memiliki seorang perdana menteri yang bernama
Raden Sidopekso. Perdana menteri memiliki seorang istri yang bernama
Sri Tanjung. Dia sangat cantik sehingga raja ingin dia menjadi istrinya.
One day, the King sent his prime minister to a long mission. While
the prime minister was away, the king tried to get Sri Tanjung. However
he failed. He was very angry. Thus, when Sidopekso went back, the king
told him that his wife was unfaithful to him. The prime minister was very
angry with his wife. Sri Tanjung said that it was not true. However,
Sidopekso said that he would kill her. He brought her to the river bank.
Before he kill her and threw her into the river, she said her innocence
would be proven.
Suatu hari, Raja mengirim perdana menterinya untuk menjalankan
misi yang lama. Saat perdana menteri keluar jauh, raja mencoba
mendapatkan Sri Tanjung. Akan tetapi dia gagal. Dia sangat marah.
kemudian ketika Sidopekso kembali, raja menceritakan kepadanya jika
istrinya tidak setia(berkhianat) padanya. Perdana menteri itu sangat

marah kepada istrinya. Sri Tanjung bilang kepada suaminya bahwa itu itu
tidak benar. Akan tetapi Sidopekso berkata bahwa di akan membunuh
istrinya. Dia membawanya ke tepi sungai. Sebelum dia membunuhnya
dan membuangnya ke sungai, dia bilang kalau kebenaran akan terbukti.
After Sidopekso killed her, He threw her dead body into the dirty
river. The river immediately became clean and began to spread a
wonderful fragrance. Sidopekso said, Banyu Wangi Banyuwangi. This
means fragrant water Banyuwangi was born from the proof of noble and
sacred love.
Setelah

Sidopekso

membunuhnya

dia

melemparkan

bangkai

tubuhnya ke dalam sungai yang kotor. Sungat itu dengan seketika

menjadi bersih dan mulai tercium bau wangi. Sidopekso berkata, Banyu..
wangi.., Ini berarti air wangi, Banyuwangi berasal dari bukti kebenaran
cinta yang suci dan mulia.

Jellyfish
Jellyfish are not really fish. They are invertebrate animals. This means
that unlike fish or people, they have no backbones. In fact, they have no
bones at all.
Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths, but no heads. They have nervous
system for sensing the world around them, but no brains. They are made
almost entirely of water, which is why you can look through them.
Some Jellyfish can glow in darkness by making their own light. The
light is made by chemical reaction inside the Jellyfish. Scientis believe
Jellyfish glow for several reasons. For example, they may glow to scare
away predators or to attrack animals they like to eat.
Most Jellyfish live in salt water, apart from a few types that live in fresh
water. Jellyfish are found in oceans and seas all over the world. They live
in warm, tropical seas and in icy waters near the North and South poles.

at the receptionist desk gave my father the key of my room and porter
carried our bag along the corridor to our room.
We got a big room on the third floor. The room over looked the sea.
From our room we could see waves breaking over the rocks. The beach
was not crowded at that time. We saw children digging in the sand looking
for the sea-shells. Some boys were kicking a ball. Some groups of people

were sitting in the desk chairs, lying on the sand under brightly colored
umbrella.
We didnt waste much time in our room. We went to the beach to
swim to play ball, to dig in sand to look for sea-shell, and to lie under the
sun. we really enjoyed the activity.
