The Tortoise said quietly,” I accept your challenge.”

“That is a good joke, “said the Hare. “ I could dance around you all the way.”

So a course was fixed and a start was made. The hare darted almost out of sight at once, but
soon stopped and, to show his contempt for the tortoise, lay down to have a nap. The tortoise

It began one afternoon, when I visited my grandmother for lunch. By the time I
went home, she hadbooked me a ticket to the neighbouring island of Lombok for her
friend’s funeral. Couple of days later, I found myself sitting inside a propeller plane
for the first time. Anyway, we landed at an unexpected place. This island has a
better airport than the more popular. It didn’t stop there. The roads were big and
clean. I mean seriously. This island is quiet modern. Oh, I almost forgot to mention.
We had hired a private driver for our entire 3 day trip and he was extremely helpful.
Not only is he a good and fast driver, but he knows his island. Every question my
curious dad asked him, he could answer. It felt like we had Wikipedia as a driver.
What I liked most about Lombok is that it’s not as directed towards international
tourists, but locals, the mindset of the people wasn’t as rough as of the Balinese.
However, I did come across one where a lady tried to sell cheap batik on a deserted
beach for RP200, 000 (AUD$20). My granddad almost bought it out of pity, but my
grandma dragged him out of it. As he turned his back on her, the lady said okay!
RP15,000 (AUD$1.50). What a difference! But eventually, being the kind-hearted
person my granddad is, he bought 5 pieces.
That’s a great experience.

Once upon a time there was a lion that grew so old that he was unable to kill
any prey for his food. So, he said to himself, I must do something to stay my

back in Jan 2012 with another friend. Both times I toured around Bali before the stay
at the resort, visiting temples and my good friend Amy who lives in Sanur.

about 5 min drive. The boat ride was 15 min long and then I was at my vacation
destination, Wakatobi!
A man carried my luggage to my hut and I was amazed how beautiful it was,
wood walls and flowing drapes around the bed. I did not have any problems with
bugs of any type the 17 days I was there. I had a small refrigerator and electric tea
pot, I made coffee every day, I got up pretty early. I was in a garden hut, but also
had a partial view of the ocean. Air-conditioning was as cool as I would like, and a

Dear Swastika,
How’s life? Thanks for the letter telling about your holiday activities.
Last Lebaran holiday, my family and I went to the beach. We wanted to release the
baby sea turtles from the Goa Cemara shore.
Goa Cemara is located in Patihan, Gadangsari, Bantul. The walk to the beach was
pretty far, but very shady. It felt like we’re in the Twilight movie scene, a great for
photo shoots! We only adopted 5 baby turtles, each turtle cost 10.000 rupiahs. The
baby turtles were just hatched. I thought they were cute. I chose my turtle and
named him Timothy. My sister Emma also chose one and named it Dora. Timothy
and friends were very skittish in the box, then right when we set them in the sand,
they immediately got still.
We entered Timothy in the race. We were told by our guide, that before the race
began, we should face the little babies south, so that when they came out to shore
at night, they would remember which way to go. Cool, isn’t it? And the race began. I
could see how energetic they were. What I noticed was that when they hit the water
and were pushed back by the waves, the turtles ran faster, as if knowing what’s
ahead of them. They’re just about to get swept away by the ocean. I really hated to
watch them leaving. It was my unforgetable experience with the baby sea turtles.
Best wishes,

Bella

Swans are the largest members of the waterfowl family Anatidae, and are
among the largest flying birds. The largest species, including the mute swan,
trumpeter swan, and whooper swan, can reach length of over 1.5 m (60 inches) and
weigh over 15 kgs (33 pounds). Their wingspans can be almost 3 m (10 ft).

proportionally larger feet and necks. They also have a patch of unfeathered skin
between the eyes and bill in adults. The sexes are alike in plumage, but males are
generally bigger and heavier than females.

Southern Hemisphere species are mixed black and white. The Australian Black
Swan (Cygnus atratus) is completely black except for the white flight feathers on its
wings; the chicks of black swans are light grey in color, and the South American
Black-necked Swan has a black neck.
The legs of swans are normally dark blackish grey color, except for the two South
American species, which have pink legs. Bill color varies: the four subarctic species have
black bills with varying amounts of yellow, and all the others are patterned red and
black. Although most birds generally do not have teeth, swans are known to be an
exception to this, having small jagged ‘teeth’ as part of their beaks used for catching and
