THE EAGLE WHO LIVED LIKE A HEN

In a forest an eagle lived on a tree. It had built a nest wherein to lay its eggs. There the
eagle would hatch its eggs all through the day. Under the same tree there lived a hen. The hen
had also laid eggs during the same period when the eagle had laid its eggs.

One day, while the eagle had gone for hunting, a bear climbed up the tree to eat the
eagle’s eggs. The bear had finished three of the eggs
when the fourth one slipped off its hands and fell
into the hen’s nest. On returning, the eagle could
not find her eggs. Feeling terribly upset, she decided
to leave the place.

The hen which lived under the tree saw the

eagle’s egg by the side of her eggs. She felt eggs pity
on the eagle’s egg, and decided to hatch it too. After
a few days, the hen’s chicks hatched. The eagle’s
chick hatched, too.The hen would feed all the chicks,
including the eagle’s chick, as if it were her own.
Soon the chicks began to grow. The young chicks
would listen to their mother’s sounds and try to
imitate her. The eagle’s chick also picked up the hen’s sounds. The chicks would all play together
and make lots of noise.

Within no time the hen’s chicks as well as the eagle’s chick grew up to their full size. The
eagle’s chick never realized that it was an eagle and not a hen. Considering itself a hen, the eagle
would. eat hen’s food, would walk and run like other hens and would make sounds like hens. The
eagle never learnt to fly like other eagles and lived its whole life like a hen only.
 THE MONKEY AND THE CROCODILE

It was a beautiful lake surrounded by lush green grasses, beautiful trees, mountains and
sweetest, tastiest jamun trees. There lived a monkey on one of the jamun trees located near the
lake. The lake also had a few crocodiles. There was one crocodile that used to collect the jamun
fruits from the lake that fall from the tree. As the crocodile visits the jamun trees every day, it
became friends with Monkey. Crocodile and
monkey met every day. The monkey helped
crocodile by providing more and fresh jamun
fruits from the tree. Their relationship
continued and they became close pals.

One day, the monkey asked the

crocodile to give some jamun fruits to his wife
and family as the fruits were more delicious.
The crocodile agreed and took a lot of jamun
fruits to his wife. His wife was so happy and
surprised that she never ate so delicious fruits, so far. She inquired her husband, where he got
those fruits. The crocodile told her, his friend, monkey who lives in a Jamun tree gave these for
him. The wife crocodile made a plan in her mind. She asked her husband, ‘Does your friend eat
these fruits every day?’ The crocodile replied yes. She added, ‘Oh my goodness. These are the
sweetest fruits we ever ate. Imagine how delicious the monkey’s heart would be if he eat these
fruits daily! I need the heart of your friend. Can you please bring it for me?.

The crocodile was shocked to hear it from his wife. He replied, ‘But he is my close friend. I
can’t do this to him.’ The wife crocodile told him, ‘don’t worry. You bring him here. I will then
take care! Or else, you may try to push him down into the water if he doesn’t know swimming!’

After a long time, the crocodile agreed to bring monkey to his wife. The very next day,
crocodile invited monkey to join them for lunch and asked for his favorite foods. Monkey happily
agreed to be the guest and but worried that the monkey did not know how to swim in the lake.
Crocodile on thinking about monkey’s sorrow, pleased monkey and told him, ‘Don’t worry. I will
carry you on my back and will take you back safely too!’

The monkey accepted and crocodile rode him to his home on his back on the water. As
they reached half way, the crocodile tried to push monkey down into the water. However,
monkey held the crocodile tightly and did not fall. Monkey got suspicious about crocodile’s act
and asked him to tell the truth. Since crocodile believed him as his good friend, he told about the
conversation and the fight his wife had with him and he was taking monkey to eat his heart!

The intelligent monkey said, ‘Oh my dear friend, you should have told me this earlier. I
left my heart on one of the branches of the tree as I won’t carry it if I travel long. If you take me
back, I can give you my heart. Crocodile accepted and rode the monkey back to the lake. As they
reached the tree where the monkey lived, the monkey climbed quickly and escaped from the
crocodile. He shouted at crocodile, ‘I thought you as a good friend, but you cheated me. I will
never come back and never be your friend.’

The crocodile understood his mistake and returned back home empty handed, losing a
good friend indeed.
 A TRIP TO BOROBUDUR TEMPLE

Three years ago, I and my classmates visited Borobudur Temple. We went to Borobudur
temple by bus. We left
our school at nine
o’clock. It took us 24
hours to arrive there. I
arrived there nine o’clock
the next day. Along the
road, we saw many
vehicles, unique houses,
prominent buildings, and
some other tourists.

After we arrived
at the Borobudur temple,
one of my teachers went
to buy tickets. After we
waited him for a moment we entered into Borobudur temple area. Then we went up to the top
of the temple. Borobudur temple was built at Budur Village, Magelang, Jawa Tengah by
Syailendra Dynasty. Borobudur Temple is the biggest temple in the world. It has 504 statues and
1.400 reliefs. From the top of the temple we can see such beautiful scenery. I and my friends
went around the temple together. Finally, after having some visits, we should go to the hotel to
stay and continue our study tour the next day.

We felt tired that day but we felt so happy to visit Borobudur temple which is well-known
as one of the greatest legacies Indonesia has ever had. I hope the temple can be loved by all of
the visitors and the government.
 A TRIP TO TANJUNG SETIA BEACH

Last year, at the end of the year, my wife and I decided to spend our holiday at Tanjung
Setia beach, which located around 234 kilometers from Bandarlampung.

When we arrived at the beach, we were surprised to see the beautiful view of the beach.
After having a quick dip in the ocean, which was really cold and windy, we realized that there
were not many people there. We thought that it happened because it was too windy there
during that time but we finally realized that it was Christmas holiday so almost all of tourists who
are used to spending time there went back to their country.

After spending few times swimming in the beach, we bought some hot chips at the
takeaway store nearby, and we rode our bikes down the beach for a while, on the hard, damp
part of the
sand. The next
day we visited
Labuan Jukung
beach. There,
we were
amazed to see
the high wave
owned by this
beach. Because
it was so high
that no body
was brave
enough to surf
on it that time.

The third day there, we decided to go home when we finally made it back home, we were
both totally exhausted because of the trip but we were so happy to travel such an amazing beach
Lampung province has.
 DORAEMON

On the other hand, Sewashi (the 4th generation of Nobita) and Doraemon were noticing
his activity. they were very worried if Nobita didn’t change his behaviour, his future will be bad
and affect his offspring. So Sewashi asked Doraemon to help him to change his life better.

One day, when Nobita was sleeping, Doraemon and Sewashi came from the future to visit
Nobita. They came into the
Nobita’s room through the
desk drawer. Nobita was so
scared and thought that
Doraemon was seal. Having
been told the reason they
came, finally Nobita
understood. Doraemon initially
refused to help. However after
Sewashi forced him and
activated the system on
Doraemon’s nose that made him unable to return to the future before Nobita was happy.
Doraemon was finally willing to help Nobita.

Doraemon told Nobita and his family about coming back to the future. Hearing that,
Nobita left Doraemon to be alone. But he met Giant who dare him to fight. Nobita was so scared
and wanted to call Doraemon. Buh he realized that he should be able to face Giant without
Doraemon’s help. With a strong intention, Nobita kept standing and fighting Giant although his
face was bruised. And finally Giant surrended. Seeing it, Doraemon cried and brought him home.
In the evening, after treating Nobita, Doraemon came back to the future.

In the morning, Nobita woke up. He realized that Doraemon had come back to the future.
Then he committed to continue his better life without Doraemon who always helped him.

After Doraemon’s arrival, Nobita’s life was slowly driving turned to be better, such as
coming on time to school, helping his mother at home. Of course with Doraemon’s help.
However there was one thing that Nobita could not get. It was conquering Shizuka’s heart. Even
he had done many different ways to attract her. Doraemon was already running out of tools to
help. Nobita finally gave up and decided to stay away from Shizuka by drinking a potion of
hatred. It affected Nobita’s mother and Doraemon hated him and left him alone at home. But
Shizuka actually fought against the hatred and helped Nobita who lying down on the floor
because of too much drinking the potion. And Nobita was saved because of Shizuka’s
persistence. Since that accident, Shizuka began to like Nobita.

In the evening, Doraemon gave a little glimpse of Nobita’s future who will marry Shizuka.
Hearing that, Nobita was very happy. He told Doraemon,”Doraemon, I am very happy!!”.
Suddenly those words activated the system to restore Doraemon inti the future.
