The Wisdom of the Eagle and the Treachery of the Hyena

The Wisdom of the Eagle and the Treachery of the Hyena

By Frans Timmermans


Once upon a time a hyena was out foraging in the bush. It was a fine sunny day. But as he was sniffing around, he fell into a hidden trap set by a hunter. He found himself at the bottom of a hole, with the trap catch closed over him. He tried to push it open but it just would not budge. It was rather well made.
So he started shouting: “Help! Help! Somebody get me out of here please. A lion passed by, looked to see who was in the trap. When he saw it was hyena, he just moved on. Help me, let me out of here, please!”, hyena shouted, but the lion closed his ears. You should know that most animals did not like hyena very much. He was very sly and always stealing food belonging to other animals and then laughing at them behind their backs. So it was no surprise the lion moved on.
So the day passed, but every time an animal passed by the trap, however much hyena begged and promised to be nice to them in future, none stopped to help him. At last monkey came by. “Help me please, monkey, get me out of this trap. I’ve been here all day and the hunter will be back soon and he will surely kill me! Help me please!”
“Well now”, monkey said, “That’s all very well. I would help you, but as soon as I pull you out of there, you will only kill me.” Hyena protested, “Monkey, I promise I will be good, I will not touch a hair on your head. If you let me out I will go straight home. I promise!” Now this monkey was very kind, so he agreed to help hyena. He removed the trap and threw down a branch so hyena could pull himself out of the trap. But then as soon as he was out, hyena realized he’s been in this trap all day long and had not eaten anything, at all! So, instead of going home, as he had promised, hyena attacked the kind monkey.
Just then an eagle was flying over the bush, and saw the hyena attacking monkey. So he swooped down, landed on the hyena’s back, and with his powerful claws pulled the animal of poor monkey, who was screeching in pain. After he’d separated the two, hyena wanted to know what was going on. Monkey explained what had happened: that he had helped hyena escape from the trap because he had promised not to attack him!
Eagle said: “In order for me to understand exactly how this happened, I would like you to show me exactly what you two were doing. So, Mr. Hyena, you get back into the trap, and then we will start again.” Hyena realized he did not have much choice but to do as he was told, so he jumped back into the trap. Eagle the covered it again with the trap, and made sure it was secure. “Now, Mr. Hyena”, said eagle, “you can stay there and die, for all I care. You don’t deserve the kindness of other animals if you cannot keep a simple promise”. With that, he advised the monkey to go home to his family, and he himself flew off to continue his journey, leaving the hyena to his fate.

Image result for child with fever


2 weeks ago I didn't go to school because I had a fever. So I missed the video conference :(. When I woke up in the morning, I felt very dizzy and my temperature body was hot, so my mom took me to the doctor. I went straight to doctor, he is a nice doctor. “What’s the matter with you?” he asked. “I think I have a fever.”. Then he opened my mouth and looked at my tongue, and he listened to my heart. He said that I have to take a rest and eat the medicine. After that i say thank you and then I went to home and sleep all day long.

Place I want to visit


ROME

If I had a chance to go somewhere in this world, the place I would love to visit is Rome, Italy. Rome is the largest city in Italy with many beautiful ancient buildings such as Campus Martius, Coliseum, Baths of Caracalla and many more.

Baths of Caracalla
Campus Martius
Coliseum
The place I most want to visit in Rome is the Coliseum. The Coliseum is the largest and most famous building in Rome making it the tourist attractions in Rome, Italy's most popular and crowded. To be able to see the remnants of this incredible building would be amazing right? The Coliseum was the place where the people of Rome held many events ranging from animal shows to gladiator fight.
I also want to taste the culinary in Rome, such as Chicken Parmigiana, It is a classic Italian dish; the meal consisted of crispy fried chicken combined with spaghetti and cheese. And also Fettuccine Alfredo, lasagna and gelato

Unforgettable Moment

My Life in 5 Junior High School
I've had many unforgettable moment in my life such as surprised in my birthday, vocation with my family and lose in jrbl competition, but the one that I've always remember is my life in 5 junior high school.

I've always loved going to school as we get to meet our friends and learn from our teachers. The day started as usual I woke up, got ready and went to school. At school I met my friends and we gather around for the daily activity at school. The lessons are not really hard if you study well i think. When the teacher are supposed to teach in my class but they can't because another business, I used to play guitar and sing together with my friends or even study without teacher.


5 Junior High School have many garden. The name of the park in front of my IX class is Kartini Garden. We used to play a game called bebentengan. Bebentengan is a Sundanese traditional game, where we have to touch the opponent fort. I often play that game with my entire classmate. I miss them. Every day after school, I often play basketball or hangout with my friend in terbi while i was waiting for private lesson. Terbi is located beside the basketball court, it is the most comfortable place 5 JHS i think. Many students stay in that place only for share their story, do their assignment or just sitting there and watch peoples play basketball. During the graduation ceremony, I and my band featured several songs. I'm a little bit sad at that time because it was the last event for me to featured songs with my band.



It’s all just a small part of all the experience I have gained in 5 junior high school. I miss my old school very much, the memory and everything about it.

The Eruption of Krakatoa

 The eruption of Krakatoa in August 1883 was one of the most deadly volcanic eruptions of modern history. It is estimated that more than 36,000 people died. Many died as a result of thermal injury from the blasts and many more were victims of the tsunamis that followed the collapse of the volcano .The island of Krakatau (Krakatoa) is in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra. It is part of the Indonesian Island.



The eruption had devastating effects on the islands near Krakatoa.
it causes a massive tsunami that devastated hundreds of villages on the coast of Java and Sumatra. Water pushed inland several miles in certain places, with coral blocks ending up on shore. At least 35,000 people died, though exact numbers were impossible to determine. The tsunamis traveled nearly around the world–unusually high waves were noticed thousands of miles away the next day.

The volcano threw so much rock, ash and pumice into the atmosphere that, in the immediate area, the sun was virtually blocked out for a couple of days. Within a couple of weeks, the sun appeared in strange colors to people all over the world because of all the fine dust in the stratosphere. Over the ensuing three months, the debris high in the sky produced vivid red sunsets. The amount of dust in the atmosphere also filtered enough sun and heat that global temperatures fell significantly for a couple of years.

Krakatoa was left only a tiny fraction of its former self. However, in the intervening years, a small island, Anak Krakatoa (“Son of Krakatoa”) has arisen from the sea. It is growing at an average of five inches every week. This island is receiving a great deal of scientific attention, as it represents a chance to see how island ecosystems are established from scratch

MEGANTARA



Arts, Literature and Cultural Festival Megantara

SMAN 3 BANDUNG held an arts, literature and cultural festival called Megantara. The theme of this event is the whole culture of the archipelago of Indonesia. The event featured several cultural events such as traditional music show, traditional food, games, painting, traditional dances, and also Indonesia traditional fashion show. This event has become an annual event from 2014  called Mastwapati then on 2015 called Gamarvani and this year called Megantara.

Before carrying out this event, all committees of Megantara have to work hard so that this event can be done. I was included in one of the committees of this event in the foodfest division and our division jobs to do were searching the food traders or food stand to sell their food on Megantara. It is not an easy job because we must to go to many places and offer the traders to vend. If we got rejected, we must try and search again until we get the vendors. My job is to find the typical cuisine of Padang. Luckily there selling satay near taman musik. At the day of Megantara, my job is to set the place for food traders, fulfill all their needs and always be ready if they need me.

Let’s talk about the event. There are so many attractive performances at this event, but most drew my attention was T’sT. T’sT is a cabaret extracurricular in SMAN 3 Bandung. I like their performance because the core of the performance is we should not forget the culture of Indonesia. Then the performances that really attract people are the Cangchuters and RAN. The visitors were very enthusiastic at the time their singing, especially women. Finally, the festival came to an end when RAN ended their performance.The closing event is so amazing i think because there was an huge confetti explode off the stage.

After the event was finished, I and my team must to clean the place of Megantara, Lapangan Bali.That is our responsible as committees, even though we were very tired. it was an amazing experience to participate on this event. There are a lot of great experience that we can get from this event .
