Dear Sally,

Last holiday, my friends and I visited Ponorogo in East Java. Ponorogo is a small city, but it is very
natural and beautiful. We spent the night at a villa in Jetis. On the first day, we visited Prigi southern
beach. We watched the amazing views of the sea and the white waves. We grilled fish and had “Nasi
Pecel” for lunch. On the second day, we visited “Dongko” mountain resort. There were a lot of
plants, especially clove trees. We camped there for a night. I love Ponorogo because the people are
very friendly and the prices are cheap.

I’II bring some pictures for you.

Love,

Anna

The Monkey and the Crocodile

One day, there was a monkey. He wanted to cross a river. There he saw a crocodile so he asked the
crocodile to take him across the other side of the river. The crocodile agreed and told the monkey to
jump on its back. Then the crocodile swam down the river with the monkey on his top.

Unluckily, the crocodile was very hungry, he stopped in the middle of the river and said to the
monkey, “My father is very sick. He has to eat the heart of the monkey. So he will be health again.”

At the time, the monkey was in dangerous situation and he had to think hard. Then he had a good
idea. He told the crocodile to swim back to the river bank. “What’s for?” asked the crocodile.
“Because I don’t bring my heart,” said the monkey. “I left it under a tree, near some coconuts in the
river bank.”

The crocodile agreed and turned around. He swam back to the bank of the river. As soon as they
reached the river bank, the monkey jumped off the crocodile’s back. Then he climbed up to the top
of a tree.

“Where is your heart?” asked the crocodile. “You are foolish,” said the monkey to the crocodile.
“Now I am free and I have my heart.”
