In the old days elephants had four huge wings and god
himself used to ride on one of them. But after the world was
created and men began to live on earth, the elephants became
a nuisance. They crowed like cocks and flew skywards. When
they were tired, they descended and perched on the roofs of
houses. They were so heavy that the houses collapsed beneath
them.
When god heard of this, he was annoyed and decided that
he would have to do something about it. So one day, while they
were sleeping, god cut off their wings. Two of them he gave to
the peacock, who in those days had no tail and that is how the
peacock got his tail. The other two he stuck on the plantain tree,
which accounted for its great leaves.
When the elephants woke up and found they had lost their
wings, they were very angry. They ran away into the jungle and
ever since have been afraid of men.

C Ellen the Eagle Needs Spectacles
By Phil Shapiro
Ellen the eagle first suspected that she needed
spectacles the day that she swooped down out of the sky and
grabbed a small lawn chair to take back to her hungry
children. When she arrived back at her nest, perched high
atop a cliff, her oldest son said, somewhat sarcastically,
“Great. Another lawn chair for breakfast. Just what we need.”
Her husband, Ed, was more forgiving. He gently picked
up the lawn chair with his beak and moved it over to the flat,
back section of the nest. Then he sat down in the lawn chair,
folded his wings comfortably behind his head, and lay back.
“Honey, you should have your eyes checked one of
these days,” Ed said. “It’s easy enough to do, and only cost
a mouse or two.”
“I’ve been meaning to get my eyes checked,” replied
Ellen, “but you know how it is. Every day there are new mice
to catch, new things to do for the nest and new nature shows
to be in.”
“True, the nature shows do put the dead mice on the
table, but they take away from the hunting and stalking
I really like to do.”
“I’ll put it on the calendar as something to do next week.
Although, I’ve got to say, I would feel a little self-conscious
wearing spectacles in public. What would the other eagles
say?”
“Honey, what other eagles think doesn’t matter at all. It’s
more important that your eyesight remains sharp and in
focus. Anyway, these days they can fit you with contact
lenses that you hardly notice are even there.”
Ellen sighed. Maybe it was time for her to get her eyes
checked. Could she really afford to keep bringing back lawn
chairs for her hungry children?
Kunci Jawaban PR Bahasa Inggris Kelas X 21
 So the next day she flew over to the eagle optometrist to
have her eyes checked. The optometrist sat her down in
a comfortable chair and asked her to identify the small
animals on the tiny chart, two miles away. “Mouse, chipmunk,
gopher, squirrel, rabbit,” she said, trying to sound confident.
“It was difficult telling the difference between a mouse and
a chipmunk. The shapes of these two animals were so
similar.”
“O.K., you did well on that line of animals,” said the
optometrist. “Now see if you can read the animals on the line
below it.”
Ellen concentrated all her mental powers on trying to
see what the animals were on the next line. She could barely
make out what the small animals were, so she made her best
guess, “Hippo, elephant, giraffe and rhinoceros,” she said in
a voice that lacked confidence.
“I’m sorry, but you missed a few animals on that line.
Your eyesight is far below the normal 2,000/2,000 eyesight of
regular eagles. I recommend you get spectacles or contact
lenses.”
“Can you tell me more about the contact lenses?”
inquired Ellen.
“These days there are contact lens that are far more
comfortable and less bothersome than they were in the past,”
the optometrist explained, “and we happen to have a sale on
them this week.”
“For three dead mice you can walk away with a pair of
contact lenses you can be proud of.”
“Three dead mice?” declared Ellen in a surprised voice.
“I thought you could buy a decent pair of contact lenses for
two dead mice.”
“Well, it is true you could buy contact lenses at other
stores for two dead mice,” replied the
optometrist, “but they are inferior quality contact lenses. If you
bought the cheaper contact lenses,
you might not be able to read the numbers on a license plate
that was two miles away.”
Ellen shuddered at the thought. Not being able to read
the numbers on a license plate two miles away was a sure
sign that an eagle’s eyesight was fading.
“I’ll take the three dead mice contact lenses,” she said
quickly. As she flew out of the store, she said to herself, “So it
costs me an extra dead mouse. What’s an extra dead mouse
when you need to buy something to help your eyesight?”
Her husband Ed leaped out of the lawn chair when she
landed on the nest. “Honey, you’re back so soon. Did you get
a new pair of spectacles or contacts?”
“Sure did,” Ellen replied with a renewed confidence in
her voice. She hopped over to the back of the nest and
casually nudged the lawn chair over the edge of the nest.
“No more lawn chairs in this nest,” she announced
smugly. “Only dead mice, rabbits and fish are going to show
up here in future.”
“Honey, I was just getting used to the lawn chair when
you nudged it over the side of the nest. Do you think you
could find me another lawn chair sometime?”
“No more lawn chairs in this nest, ever,” said Ellen. “O.K.,
Ed, it’s time we flew off to find something for the kids to eat
for dinner. There’s no use in just sitting around in lawn chairs
all day.”

Contoh jawaban:
The Golden Watermelon
Long time ago, in northern West Kalimantan, lived a wealthy
merchant. He had two sons. The older named Muzakir and the
younger named Dermawan. The two brothers were so different in
attitudes. Muzakir was very mean and greedy, while Dermawan
was a caring and kind person. He always tried to help those in
need.
Many poor people in that area had heard about Muzakir’s
rude attitude, therefore they preferred Dermawan. When
Dermawan saw those people coming, he sincerely welcomed
them to his house and shared money with them. It was almost
every day poor people came for his help that he finally ran out of
money. Dermawan then moved to a smaller house. His elder
brother laughed when he heard the news about Dermawan. He
always thought Dermawan was a fool to share his money with
other people. He himself has just bought a large new house.
“There is no one as stupid as my younger brother,” he said.
One day, when Dermawan was relaxing in his yard,
a sparrow suddenly fell in front of him. The sparrow twittered in
pain. Dermawan took the bird and examined it. One of the
sparrow’s wings was broken. “Let me take care of you,” he said.
Dermawan bandaged the sparrow’s wing and took some rice to
feed it. After some time, the bird gradually tamed and was no
longer afraid of Dermawan. Few days later, its wing was
completely healed. After a while, it flew to the sky. The following
day, the sparrow visited Dermawan. It held a seed in its beak and
placed the seed in front of Dermawan. It was an ordinary seed,
but Dermawan accepted it with a big smile on his face. He then
planted the seed in the backyard of his house.
Three days later, the seed started to grow. It was
a watermelon plant. Dermawan took good care of the plant. He
thought the plant would bear many fruits, since it was so
blossomy, but, from all the flowers, only one turned to fruit. Day
by day, the fruit grew bigger, bigger than any other watermelon
Dermawan ever saw. Harvesting finally arrived and he decided to
pick the watermelon. “Oh my God, it is so heavy,” he uttered
while trying hard to carry it into the house, to put on the table. He
took a knife and started to cut the watermelon. Dermawan was
shocked to find some kind of yellow sand inside. Then, he
realized that the strange yellow sand was actually a pile of pure
golden sand! “Holy God, it’s gold. I’m rich,” he danced happily.
Dermawan then bought a big house with a very big garden
the next day. All the poor came to his house and were welcomed
for meals. This time, Dermawan would not run out of money. He
had so much money and his fields produced plants with good
fruits as well.
The news about Dermawan’s fortune was heard by Muzakir
which made him envious. He went to Dermawan’s house and
Dermawan honestly told his brother about the sparrow. Muzakir
immediately commanded his servants to to catch a bird using
chopsticks. Of course, the chopsticks hurt the bird and broke its
wings. Muzakir then pretended to pity the bird and took care of it.
Days passed and the bird was completely healed and let to fly.
The following day, the bird came back to Muzakir and brought
a seed for him. He was very happy. “I will be very rich soon, even
richer than Dermawan,” he said to himself.
Muzakir planted the seed in the backyard of his house and it
grew to a fine watermelon plant after several days. It also bore
only one fruit, which was much bigger than the one owned by
Dermawan. As the harvesting time approached, Muzakir cut the
watermelon himself and was very shocked when black mud
mixed with dirt spew out onto his face. It smelled very bad.
Muzakir‘s clothes and also the room were terribly dirty because
of it. He ran on to the street because he couldn‘t stand the rotten
smell from the watermelon. All the people on the street laughed
at him for what they saw.

The Chosen Knight
Once upon a time in a land far, far away there were a king
and a queen. One day they had a baby. As the days passed the
baby became a prince. His name was Prince George. Then,
George’s father went to war. His father placed a letter on his bed.
It said:
Dear George,
Since I am at war, you will command the palace. Then, you will
know what it is like to be king.
Father
George put down the letter and sat on his bed. Seventeen
years later, George was commander of the army. He fought in
battles. His army never lost. He had a mighty strong sword and
a shield. One day his army joined the village’s army who had
been at war for seventeen years. When he was in battle, he saw
a man. It was his father! He ran to his father, but he was too late.
A golden dragon had picked up his father. He screamed,
“Father!”
Then, his whole life changed. He was mean to his servants
and guards. He was mean because his father was taken away by
a golden dragon. He was angry and cruel. He was not liked. He
wanted his father back. So, he went to the dragon’s cave. When
he entered, he saw a huge dragon. The dragon saw George. The
dragon blew huge fire, but George got on to the dragon and
stabbed it. The dragon fell to the ground. George found his father
in a dungeon. George freed his father. On the way back to the
castle his father asked him if he had treated his servants and
guards well. George said, “No,” with his head down.
When George got back to the castle, he apologized to his
servants and guards. He promised himself not to treat other
people badly anymore.

Contoh jawaban:
Croco’nile
(by Roy Gerrard; Farrar, Strauss, Girous, NY, 1994.)
One morning while at play, Hamut and his sister, Nekatu,
two Egyptian children, found a baby crocodile. Each day they fed
him and swam with him in the Nile River.
One day, Nekatu and Hamut spied a boat. They climbed
aboard and hid themselves from the crew. By the next morning,
they were hundreds by miles from their village. When they were
found by the crew, the captain sailed into port to try to find them
a home with a friend. Meanwhile, runners returned to the village
to tell the family of their whereabouts. The captain’s friend
happened to be a sculptor who soon was teaching Hamut to
carve statues. Before long Nekatu was drawing and painting. The
villagers were in awe of the children’s talents.
The sculptor had been commissioned to work in on
underground pyramid and asked the children to assist him in
decorating the walls.
One day, the king visited his tomb and was astonished to
see the work of the children.
Remembering his wife’s birthday was soon, he asked them
to design a present for her, something very rare and special.
The children began to work, and by the time of the party the
rare and special gift was complete, and they were present for the
unveiling before the queen. She was so pleased with her birthday
gift that she invited Hamut and Nekatu to sit with her and the
king at the banquet table.
From this they garnered enormous fame, but stayed modest
and shy. However, some villains knowing of their talents
kidnapped them and sailed to foreign ports to ransom them.
By this time, the flood waters had appeared and the boat soon
sank in the turbulent waves. To the children’s rescue came their
old friend the crocodile who carried them safely home.

Once upon a time there were two brothers; one was called
True, and the other Untrue. True was always upright and good
towards all, but Untrue was bad and full of lies, so that no one
could believe what he said. Their mother was a widow, and
hadn’t much to live on; so when her sons had grown up, she was
forced to send them away, that they might earn their bread in the
world. Each got some provisions, and then they went their way.
Having walked until evening, they sat down on a windfall in
the wood. They were hungry after walking the whole day and
thought a morsel of food would be sweet enough.
Untrue suggested that they eat True’s provisions first and
after that his provisions. True agreed, but Untrue was greedy. He
took all the best bits and stuffed himself with them, while True got
only the burnt crusts and scraps.
The next day, True hoped that they could eat his brother’s
provisions, however, Untrue refused to share his. He ate all his
provisions. When True asked Untrue for his share, Untrue
refused, he even flew into a rage and hit True, who then lost his
balance and fell. Untrue then ran away and left him.
Trying to rise, True could not see anything. He became blind!
Poor True went walking along and feeling his way through the
thick wood. Blind and alone, he scarcely knew which way to turn,
when all at once he caught hold of the trunk of a great bushy
lime-tree, so he thought he would climb up into it and sit there till
night was over for fear of wild beasts. After sitting there for a
while, he heard some noise. Apparently, there were two rabbits
having a conversation.
“The king of the palace has such bad eyesight,” said the first
rabbit, “he can scarcely see a yard before him.”
“Very true!” said the other rabbit, “but if only he came to this
lime-tree in the morning, while the dew is still on the leaves and
rubbed his eyes with the dew, he would retrieve his sight, as
good as ever.”
After they were gone, True fell asleep as he sat up in the tree;
but when the birds began to sing at dawn, he woke up and took the
dew from the leaves and rubbed his eyes with the dew and so got
his sight back, as good as it was before Untrue hit him.
Then, he went straight to the king’s palace and begged for
work and was employed on the spot. One day the king came out
into the palace-yard and there came a great hawk flying after his
chicken and all the king’s men began to clap their hands and
bawl out, “There he flies!” “There he flies!” The king held up his
gun and tried to shoot the hawk, but he couldn’t see so far, so he
felt great grief.

The People who Hugged a Tree
Amrita Devi centuries ago inspired an entire community to
protect their trees. Amrita lived in a muddy village on the edge of
a forest and each day she ran to her favorite tree and threw her
arms around it.
She knew the importance of trees in her life; they provided
shade from the desert sun, buffered them from great desert
storms and helped them find sources of water. She grew up
loving this particular tree, often daydreaming while sitting under
its shade and after she married, she continued to visit this tree
with her family.
One day the mighty Maharajah sent his soldiers into the
forests to cut trees for his new fortress. When Amrita heard the
soldiers in the forest, she ran to them. She begged them not to
cut down the trees. To no avail! Soon the people of the village
could hear the sound of crashing trees. Amrita saw her own tree
come crashing down! She kneeled and hugged the dying tree.
The people heard the soldiers chopping away at the trees
and they ran from their homes to the forest and stood by the
trees forcing the soldiers to leave in disgust. When the
Maharajah knew this, he got furious. He gathered his entourage
and headed for the village where he met the villagers gathering
at the well. He demanded that the soldiers again began to cut
down the trees.
The people begged the Maharajah to leave the trees, but he
ignored their pleas. The people ran to hug the trees, as the
soldiers began to chop again. Suddenly a storm came whipping
across the desert in its fullest force.
After the storm had passed, the Maharajah saw the damage
to the houses and the fields as the result. Now he understood
the importance of the trees to the villagers. He told the villagers
that he admired their courage. He also promised them that their
trees would not be cut. The villagers rejoiced.
The place of Amrita’s tree became special. The people
would never forget the tree’s sacrifice. Some believe that even
today Amrita comes to visit the spot, where her special tree used
to be.

Claudia was a very greedy cat. She ate almost everything,
but nice fat mice was her favorite food. There were lots of them in
her master’s house and every day she caught one for breakfast,
another one for lunch and a third one for supper before she went
to bed. After a while the mice became very frightened and
refused to come out of their holes. They sat inside them with only
their eyes showing, watching to see if the cat was around.
Claudia began to get hungry, so at last she thought of
a trick. She fell down where the mice could see her, gave a little
meow and lay still, pretending to be dead. But nothing happened!
After a while, Claudia said in a whisper, “I’m dead. You can come
out now.” But the mice called back, “We’re not as stupid as you.
We can tell the difference between a live cat and a dead one.”
