The Legend of Sikidang Crater
A long time ago in Dieng plateau, there
lived a beautiful princess named Shinta
Dewi. She lived in a luxurious castle. Many
princes were amazed of her beauty. Some of
them proposed to marry her, but none got
her because there were none can fulfill her
dowry. She wanted a lot of dowries.
One day, there was a very rich prince
named Kidang Garungan. He wanted to
propose Shinta Dewi. He thought that his
wealth can fulfill the dowries. Then, he
asked some of his guards to go to Shinta
Dewi’s castle to give the information about
that. Shinta Dewi accepted Kidang
Garungan to be her husband because she
thought that the rich prince was usually a
handsome prince.
After that, the guards came back to Kidang
Garungan and told that Shinta Dewi
accepted him to be her husband. Kidang
Garungan was very happy to hear this news.
Then, he prepared all the things needed for
the dowries.
The next day, after all the dowries were
completed, he and his guard went to the
Shinta Dewi’s castle. When they arrived
there, there were some dance performances
as the welcome party. However, after Shinta
Dewi met Kidang Garungan, she was very
shock. Kidang Garungan was very ugly. He
was not a handsome prince as in her
imagination. He was a human with a deer
head.
She was very sad because of it. She
didn’t want to marry him. She thought hard
how to cancel the marriage. Then, she got a
good idea. She told to the prince that she
would marry him in one condition. She said
to the prince “We have difficulties in getting
water, so you should make a well for us.
You should make it by yourself in a day”
and the prince agreed with it. Shinta Dewi
thought that it was very impossible for him.
But, she didn’t know that the prince had the
magic power.
The next day, the prince, Kidang
Garungan started to make a well. He dug the
ground with his hand, and sometimes he
used his horn to dig it. In the afternoon, the
well would almost finish and Shinta Dewi
was afraid if about it. She asked their guards
to pile Kidang Garungan.
Finally, Kidang Garungan fell and
burried in the well. Before he died the well
exploded because of his power and he
cursed Sinta Dewi that she and her descents
would have ‘gimbal’ hair. Now, the well
was known as ‘Sikidang Crater’.

My Favourite Hobby
My favourite hobby is reading. I enjoy
reading a book when I am free. I
started to do it when I was four years
old. The first time I did it, I felt
interested. So I kept reading. The
teachers always taught me to read the
difficult words. I was happy when I
read a story with a happy ending. I was
thrilled when I read a detective story.

explore the imaginative world of my
favourite author, J.K.Rowling who
writes “ Harry Potter” . There are a lot
of advantages of reading. Reading can
make me relaxed and calm. I can also
learn new vocabulary items. Then I
can further improve my English.
Moreover, it can give me an unlimited
imagination, so I can write books in
the future. I can learn the different
cultures and customs of other
countries in the world too.
I read at least one hour every day. I
read books by myself. I usually read it
at home. I wish I could read different
kinds of books because it might be very
