The Old Man, The Boy and The Donkey.

A Man and his son were once going with their Donkey to market. As they were walking along by its side a countryman passed them and said: "You fools, what is a Donkey for but to ride upon?"

So the Man put the Boy on the Donkey and they went on their way. But soon they passed a group of men, one of whom said: "See that lazy youngster, he lets his father walk while he rides."

So the Man ordered his Boy to get off, and got on himself. But they hadn't gone far when they passed two women, one of whom said to the other: "Shame on that lazy lout to let his poor little son trudge along."

Well, the Man didn't know what to do, but at last he took his Boy up before him on the Donkey. By this time they had come to the town, and the passers-by began to jeer and point at them. The Man stopped and asked what they were scoffing at. The men said:

"Aren't you ashamed of yourself for overloading that poor donkey of yours and your hulking son?"

The Man and Boy got off and tried to think what to do. They thought and they thought, till at last they cut down a pole, tied the donkey's feet to it, and raised the pole and the donkey to their shoulders. They went along amid the laughter of all who met them till they came to Market Bridge, when the Donkey, getting one of his feet loose, kicked out and caused the Boy to drop his end of the pole. In the struggle the Donkey fell over the bridge, and his fore-feet being tied together he was drowned.

Moral of Story: Please all, and you will please none

Hidden Treasure

Long long ago, there lived a very poor couple. They had only a small hut to live in and a a little plot of land where they did farming and made a living by the crops they grew.

But one day, the husband fell sick and the woman went to work alone.

She went into the fields and began to remove the weeds. Suddenly, she saw a gold coin lying among the weeds. Overjoyed at this discovery, she picked it up with her trembling hands and tied it into a knot in one corner of the long cloth she wore.

Imagine her surprise and joy when a little later, she found a sparkling red ruby lying some distance away. After this, she found an emerald, a topaz and a diamond as long as she worked. She went back home, buying some rice with the gold coin. She did not tell her husband about her discoveries.

"What if he becomes jealous?" the woman thought.

So she kept silent and went back to work as usual, without her husband suspecting anything.

This time, she found a silver coin. As she held it in her hands and saw it glimmer in the sunlight, she heard a voice saying to her, "Tell no one of your good fortune, not even your husband, and you shall have more treasure."

So she went again and again to the field and everyday, she found something or the other - two silver coins on some days, three gold coins on another day, a diamond on another and so on. She hid all her treasures in a safe place that was out of even her husband's reach.

But when she went to the field on the seventh day, she found nothing. She worked all day long and searched every bit of the land, but there was nothing valuable that she could find.

At afternoon, she felt hungry out of exhaustion and sat down near the edge of the field to boil her rice. She lit some firewoods and was blowing into the fire when she heard the same voice say to her again,

"After you have finished boiling your rice, put out the fire and dig the ground where the woods are burning. Tell no one, not even your husband, of what you find."

She did as the voice told her and she dug out a great jar filled to the brim with gold pieces. Trembling at her discovery and good fortune, the woman hurriedly took out one or two gold pieces out and buried the rest as before. She ran home as fast as she could. Her husband was surprised to see her come back at this odd hour and asked her if all was well with her.

The woman could not contain her excitement any longer. She told her husband everything about the treasures she got. The man was overjoyed to hear about it all. Unable to restrain himself, the man went into the village and told every one of the treasure trove.

Within a few moments, the excited villagers rushed to their land to dig up the treasure. But the treasure was no longer there. There was neither any sign of any gold coin nor any trace of the jar.

"Where are the treasures? You must have lost your heads in this high summer heat" everyone laughed in disbelief at the couple.

"No no. I have seen them and I have even got some precious stones with me." cried the woman.

But as she tried to show them her gems to prove that she was right, she could find none where she had kept them. All that she had hid in her secret place were gone too, and the couple were as poor as they had been before.

How foolish they were to disobey the command of the voice

Unforgottable Holiday

Hi guys! So, this time I will tell you about my holiday :)

Few weeks ago I went to Malang with my friends. We went there by train. At 4p.m. we met on Bandung Train Station. We were so exited about this vacation, because many of us haven't went to Malang.
On the way to Malang we had so much fun! Me and few of my friends didn't sleep, we were plaing cards until midnight, and then we eat noodles and some hot tea. We laughed at midnight and it was annoyed the others, we felt guilty but we just couldn't stop laughing at everything. We very enjoyed the trip!

We arrived at Malang on 7 am, there was people from the tour&travel agency who welcomed us on the Malang Station. Then we took a bus to go to our hotel. We stayed at Wonderland Hotel. The hotel was very cool, they had water boom inside and they also had good view from the room. The temperatur in Malang was cold. After we took a rest we continued our trip to Jatimpark. It was an amusement park. We tried many vehicle at there. It was amazing!

At night we went to BNS (Batu Night Square). I thought it was the most beutiful place I've ever been in Malang!! You must see by your self the Lampion Park. It was the most popular place on BNS. There was a replica of Eiffel Tower, a castle, and many more!

At 11pm we went back to the hotel. Sadly, on the next day we had to go back to Bandung. Me and my friends really love Malang! It such an amazing place for holiday! We wanted to go back there again one day. But we must save our money first. I hope we can go back there as soon as possible.

Urban Legend

Hi guys!
So a week ago, me and my friends were talking about urban legends. It was fun and lil bit creepy because we talked about it at midnight. Now, I'm gonna tell you the most creepiest urban legend we've talked

This is a horror story

A girl and her boyfriend—both of them college students— were driving home. Suddenly the car wouldn't srart, the girl was spooked. The boy said he would walk for help and the girl waits for him in the safety of the car.
After waiting for five minutes, the girl gets out of the car to look for her boyfriend. Suddenly, she sees a man in the shadows. Frightened, she gets back into the car to drive away—but as she does this, she hears a very faint squeak, followed by more squeaks.
This continues for a few seconds, until the girl decides that she has no choice but to drive off. She hits the gas as hard as possible, but can’t go anywhere; someone has tied a rope from the bumper of the car to a nearby tree.
Finally, the girl slams on the gas again and then hears a loud scream. She gets out of the car and realizes that her boyfriend is hanging from the tree. It turns out that the squeaky noises were made by his shoes, scraping across the top of the car.

Fitrisani Nadhira a.k.a. Nadhira

I have a new best friend in high school. She's Fitrisani Nadhira, we can call her Nadhira. She live on Pahlawan Street number 20, Cikutra. She was born on 21st of January 1999 in Banjar.

I met her in PLiST (school orientation in SMAN 3 Bandung), we were in a same district, district one. But unfortunately we aren't in same class now. She's in X-7 but I'm in X-6.

She is kind of shy person. She's not as fussy as I. She loves playing instruments, she can plays guitar and piano. She taught herself to play guitar, that's cool isn't?  Her favorite subject is English. We're in same class in English and German class.

I like her beacuse she’s kind and funny. Even tough we’re in different class but we still talk and go to canteen together. She loves fried rice she can eat it up to 3 portion.

That’s all abot her that I know :)

My Autobiography

My name is Alfina Rizki Putri Dewantari most of my friends call me Apin or Aping and my high school friends call me Fina.

I was born on a warm sunny day on 2nd of May 1998 in Pekalongan, Jawa Tengah. I'm a daughter of Mochammad Roffiuddin and Lina Dahniar. My siblings are Anggi, Arif, Aji. Now we live in Padalarang, Bandung Barat.

Before my family and I live in Padalarang we lived in Surabaya when I was 1 untill 4 years old. When I was 2 years old  my grandfather passed away then my parents decided to moved to Bandung. We moved to Bandung to accompany my grandmother.

I've been studied at M.I. Baiturrahim, it was islamic school. I studied Arabic, hadis, fiqih, and may islamic subjects in there. Then I went to Al-azhar Syifa Budi Parahyangan Junior High School. I really love Al-azhar! The teacher very nice, the place really cool, I really enjoyed my 3 years in there.  When I was in 7th grade I won physics olympics, I was really proud to represented Al-azhar and Bandung Barat. Now I study at SMAN 3 Bandung. I'm proud to be a student of SMAN 3 Bandung.

I'm a kind of active person. I like to talk with people, I like tell them my stories. My hobby is playing game online especially FPS (first person shooter) and riddle game. My first fps game that I've ever played is House of The Dead, it was a horror game about zombie from Sega. I love that game, and I still have that game. But now I often play game, because I've got tons of homework so it's hard to find time for playing game.

I really want to be a surgeon or an obstetricians, I wish after I finish my study at SMAN 3 Bandung I'll be accpeted in medical school on Universitas Indonesia or UGM.

I have my favorite quotes, I don't know who wrote that, its said "We met for a reason. Either you're a blessing or a lesson"
