One day, a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who was a conceited
creature, boasted how clever she was. “Why, I know at least a hundred tricks to get
away from our mutual enemies, the dogs,” she said.
“I know only one trick to get away from dogs,” said the cat. “You should teach me
some of yours!”.
“Well, maybe someday, when I have the time, I may teach you a few of the simpler
ones”, replied the fox airily.
Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance. The barking grew
louder and louder – the dogs were coming in their direction! At once the cat ran to the
nearest tree and climbed into its branches, well out of reach of any dog. “This is the
trick I told you about, the only one I know”, said the cat. “Which one of your hundred
tricks are you going to use?”.
The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use. Before she
could make up her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the fox and tore her to
pieces.
Let me remind you my experience during an earthquake last week. When the

telephone and electricity poles falling down to the ground, like matchsticks.
Then I saw a lot of rocks tumbling across the road. I was trapped by the rock. Even I
could not move my car at all. There were rocks everywhere. There was nothing I
could do but left the car and walked along way to my house, in the town.

King of Luwu had a very beautiful daughter. Her name was Princess Tandampalik.
She was very beautiful. Any man who saw her would fall in love with her. Everybody
knew about her beauty, including King of Bone. Bone was a kingdom that was far
away from Luwu Kingdom. Then, King of Bone paid a visit to Luwu in order to
propose Princess Tandampalik to be her daughter in-law. His son, Prince of Bone,
was still single. King of Luwu actually did not want to accept the proposal. According
to the culture, he could not have a son-in-law who lived very far from him.
Otherwise, he would suffer from terrible diseases. But, he knew if he refused it,
kingdom of Bone would attack Luwu.
Many of his people would suffer. After that, King of Bone came to Luwu and talked
about the marriage proposal. King of Luwu said he needed time to decide. King of
Bone understood and went home. Suddenly, a bad thing happened. Princess
Tandampalik was ill. She got skin rash. The kingdom healer said the disease could
infect others. The king then decided to put the princess in a safe place. It was on a
remote island named Wajo Island. The princess was not alone. Some soldiers
accompanied her. The princess was sad. But she knew if she stayed in the kingdom,
many people would be infected. So she was not angry with her father for making her
stay in a remote island.
Several days after Princess Tandampalik lived in Wajo Island, a cow came to her. The
cow was different from other cows. The skin was albino. The cow licked Princess
Tandampalik's skin. Amazingly, the disease was cured. Her skin was smooth again.
Her beauty was back! In the meantime, Prince of Bone was sailing in the sea. He
landed on Wajo Island. He was so surprised to see a very beautiful girl lived in such a
remote island. "Wow, maybe she is an angel," he thought. "Who are you, beautiful
girl? Do you live here?" asked Prince of Bone.
Princess Tandampalik then explained everything. Prince of Bone had heard about her
before. He was so happy that he finally met her. He immediately brought Princess
Tandampalik and the soldiers back to Luwu Kingdom. The King of Luwu was so
happy that her daughter was cured. Not long after that, the King held a wedding party
for her daughter and Prince of Bone.

Last January, I went to Yogyakarta with my familly. The day was my school
vacation. At that time, we were from Makassar.
We departed from Makassar to Yogyakarta at 6.30 AM by plane. Fortunately,
there was no problem so we could arrive in Yogyakarta at 8.30 AM. Before we went
to Borobudur Temple, we had lunch at Sleman, DIY. We ate Oseng-Oseng Mercon.
For my parents, it was their first time trying Oseng-Oseng Mercon. They said it was
delicious.
Then we went to Borobudur. It took more than one hour to go there from
Sleman. At 1.00 PM, we arrived at Borobudur. We had to wait for the performance
because it started at 2.00 PM. Before the performance started, we bought some
souvenirs and tried to play Angklung in the souvenir shop. At exactly 2.00 PM, the
show started. Not only Angklung performance, there were also traditional dance
performances. We sang, danced and learnt to play Angklung together during the
performance.
After we watched the show, we went to Malioboroto get dinner. We ate
Gudeg which is traditional food made from jackfruit vegetable with coconut milk or
shredded coconut. It usually tastes sweet and salty, but there is another savory taste.
In Gudeg, there is a variant of Gudeg with fried tofu. That was the first experience
eating Gudeg for some of my family. After we had dinner, we went to our hotel
which is not too far away from Malioboroto get some rest.
The day after that, we started the day with getting breakfast at the hotel. Then
we departed to Malioboro at 7.45 AM. From the hotel, we just walked to Bringharjo
Market around five minutes. After we arrived, we walked around the market to
explore. It was very refreshing. There were a lot of various bags, cloths, sandals and
accessories old at that time. We also saw some snacks and traditional handycrafts. My
brother and I tried to ride a delman. After we spent enough time there, we had lunch
and returned to Makassar.
We were very tired when we arrived in Makassar, but we had a lot of fun
during the cultural visit. It was very nice to go to Yogyakarta and I hope I can go
there again sometime.
