Once upon a time there was no donkey in Guizhou. So someone shipped one there, but finding no use for it, he set it loose at the foot of the mountain.

A tigen ran out from the mountain. When he saw this big tall thing, he thought it must be divine. He quickly hid himself in the forest and surveyed it from a distance. Sometimes later the tiger ventured a little nearer, but still kept a respectful distance.

One day the tiger came out again. Just then the donkey gave a loud bray. Thinking the donkey was going to eat him, the tiger hurriedyly ran away. After a while he sneaked back and watched the donkey carefully. He wanted to know its strength. He found that though it had a huge body it seemed to have no special ability.

After a few days, the tiger gradually became accustomed to its braying and was no longer afraid. Sometimes he even came near and circled around the donkey.

Later the tiger became bolder. Once he walked in front of the donkey and purposely bumped it. This made the donkey so angry that it struck out his hind legs and kicked him wildly.

Seeing this, the tiger was very gleeful, 'Such as big thing as you can do so little! With a roar he pounced down on the donkey and ate it up.

 

What made the donkey angry?

My holiday to Bali

I was in senior high school when I went to Bali Island for the first time. I went there with my teacher and my friends. It was our school study tour. My teacher, my classmates, and I were in the same bus. We left our school at 8 a.m

The journey from Pati to Bali took one day. I was so exhausted because I had to sit along the journey. Actually, it was an enjoyable journey because I spent time with my friends. We did many things together, like playing games, laughing, and joking. I was tired but I didn't mind. All of my tirednes was gone when we arrived at the Sanur Beach, where our hotel was located. It was still early morning, we saw a beautiful sunrise.

After watching the sunrise, we were driven to the hotel to take a rest and to have meals. After that, we went to the Nusa Dua Beach. There were so many activities to do there, like parasailing, banana boat, and so on. But, I chose to go to a little island which had a lot of reptile. There were snakes, turtles, etc. The scenery was so beautiful because it was in the middle of the sea! Next, we went to Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK). There were two amazing statues. They were Wisnu and his bird, called Garuda.

After a very long journey, through the land and the sea, we finally got back to the hotel. Although we tired, we all happy. We could not wait to visit other beautiful places the following day.

What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

I have got an unforgettable experience last lebaran day. My family and I went to my mother's hometown to celebrate "Idul fitri". We went by aeroplane. At the airport, my family and I had to walk through the metal detector. When I got the turn to walk through it, suddenly the alarm beeped. The woman who worked as the airport security said, "Come here, you need to get your belt off." I took my belt off, but the alarm still beeped. The security asked me to take my wallet from my pocket. I did what she ordered. Still, the alarm beeped.

After that the security asked me to turn back and she checked my body. She touched my left pocket. Then she told me, "There was something in it. It might be the thing that made the alarm beeped." I took out something from the left pocket. The woman laugh and said "That has made the alarm beep". It was a silver pen. I felt embarassed because everybody stared at me with curiosity.

 

Why did the airport security tell the writer to take off his belt?

My Uncle's House

My uncle's house is so amazing. It has the view of the blue sea. The interior design is very modern. The living room has a sophisticated furniture. The walls are painted white. It makes the room looks brighter and cleaner.

The kitchen is sparkling and well-designed because my uncle is passionate about culinary and will not stop to learn cooking. The bedroom is bordered with soothing view as I open the casement. The study room is very tidy. There, I usually read and write about my experience.

The exterior design is simple but elegant. The rood is brown in color. The gate is brown as well. Every visitor is welcomed by an attractive fountain. The garden is fresh and colorful.

My uncle's home is my dream place. It makes my imagination nourishing.
