Good morning, ladies and gentlement
Thank you very much for the House of Representatives which had invited me to give the
speech concerning about the mystery sinetrons shown in many televisions presently. My name is
Budi Santoso, a lecturer at University of Indonesia majoring in mass communication. Here, I
represent the academics point of view about the subject we discuss this morning.
As we know, there are many mystery sinetrons shown on Television stations presently.
The sinetrons depict horrible scenes about the spirit world. It is described that spirits often
disturb people by frightening them in the darkness, when they walk alone at night or at the
cemetery. The spirits are pictured as frightening appearance such as white clothes flying corpse,
shattered face copse etc. the show must be abandoned for several reasons.
Firstly, it make a wrong perception of people especially children and women to do
activity at nights, for example going to the wells, even cooking at kitchen alone. How do you fell
if you always live in anxiety.
Thirdly, such kind of sinetrons waste out time to think unreal phenomena while we are
facing many kinds of living problems.

The police at the big city were looking for a thief. At last they caught him. But while they
were taking photographs of him-from the front, from the left, from the right, with a hat, without a
hat-he suddenly attacked the policeman and ran off. They tried to catch him, but he got away.
Then a week later the telephone rang in the police-station and somebody said. “You are
looking for Bill Cross, aren't you?"
“Yes.”
“Well, he left here for waterbridge an hour."
Waterbridege was a small town 150 kilometers from the city. The city police at once sent
four different photographs of the thief to the police in Waterbridge.
Less than twelve hours later they got a telephone call from the police in Waterbridge. “We
have caught three of the men.” they said happily, “and we will catch the fourth this evening, we
think"

Joe was going into his usual bar before lunch when he saw a poorly dressed man fishing
in a small pool of rain-water about five centimeters deep outside it.
Joe stopped and watched the man for a few minutes. He saw that most of the people who
passed by him believed he must be rather mad.
Joe pitied the man, so after a few minutes he went up to him and said kindly, ‘Hello,
would you like to come into the bar and have a drink with me?’
The fisherman was delighted to accept his offer, and the two men went into the bar
together. Joe bought the fisherman a few drinks, and finally said to him, ‘You’ve been fishing
outside here, haven’t you? How many did you manage to catch this morning, if I may ask?’
'You’re the eighth,’ the fisherman answered merrily.

The Ducks and the Turtle
Two ducks who lived in a big lake had a friend who was a turtle. One year there was a very
little rain and the lake began to dry up. One of the ducks said to the other,” Soon, there’ll be no
water in this lake. Let’s go and look for another lake.” “Yes.” Answered the second duck,” But
first let’s say goodbye to our friend, the turtle.”
When they told the turtle they were going to leave, he said,” I’ll die here without any water
and without any friends. Take me within you.” The duck answered,” We can’t. We are going to
fly, and you have no wings.”
The turtle thought for a minute and then said,” Please wait here.” Then he went away and
found a strong, straight stick. He brought it back to his friends, put the middle of it in his mouth
and said,” Now if each of you takes me one end of the stick in his mouth, you can lift me up and
carry me with you “
“There is one danger,” said the ducks,” If you try to talk while we’re carrying you through
the air, you won’t be able to hold the stick, so you’ll fall down along way and break your shell.”
“All right,” answered the turtle,” I promise not to talk while we’re in the air.” So the ducks
took the stick and flew away, with the turtle between them. All went well until they were flying
over a town. Then some people saw them and shouted,” Look, those ducks are carrying a cat!”
First the turtle very proud of himself because of his idea he could fly. But when he heard that,
the turtle got very angry,” A Cat? I am not........,” he said, but he didn’t get any further because
he opened his mouth, the stick came out of his mouth and the poor turtle fell to the ground.

saw a boss of crocodile swimming in the river. The rabbit asked the boss of crocodile, “How
many crocodiles are there in the river?” The boss of crocodile answered, “We are twenty here.’’
“Where are they?” the rabbit asked for the second time. “What is it for?” the boss of crocodile

“All of you are good, nice, gentle and kind, so I want to make a line in order. Later I will
