Chapter 7 Once Upon a Time

1. They lived happily ever after.
C. Listen to Takatuliang the Woodcarver, a folktale from Sulawesi. Circle the words you hear.
Takatuliang the Woodcarver

Once upon a time, there lived King Simbau and his beautiful daughter, Princess Sangiang Mapaele, in a
kingdom on the island of Simbau, in the Sulawesi Sea. The king was very wise and kind. The princess was
not only beautiful, but she was also kindhearted. She often went out of the palace to meet her people.
Because of her beauty and kindness, many princes and rich men wanted to marry the king’s
daughter. This made the king very confused. He wanted to choose the best husband for his daughter. He,
then, announced a contest. Whoever presented the princess with the most valuable gift would marry her.
In a small village there lived Takatuliang, a poor young woodcarver. He heard about the contest and
decided to try. He was so poor that he had nothing to present. He thought very long and hard. So he went
far into the forest. There he chose the best tree and carved it into a doll. Next, he took an old piece of cloth
and sewed it into a dress for the doll. After that, he cut his own hair and glued it to the doll’s head.
On the day of the contest, all of the princes gathered before King Simbau and the beautiful princess.
The first prince presented his gift. He said proudly, “Dear princess, this is the proof of my love, a comb
carved from ivory.”
“How many combs like this do you have?” asked the princess.
“I have many of them,” said the prince.
Then, Princess Mapaele turned to the second prince.
“What do you bring for me?” asked the princess.
“I bring this silk as the proof of my love,” said the prince proudly.
“How many pieces of silk like this do you have?” asked the princess.
“Oh, a lot, my dear,” said the prince.
“What about you?” asked the princess to the third prince, “What do you bring for me?”
He presented her with a very beautiful necklace. “This is proof of my love, my dear princess. And I
still have many necklaces like this.”
Finally it was Takatuliang’s turn. Takatuliang bowed his head. “I bring only a doll,” said Takatuliang
softly.
“How many dolls like this do you have?” asked the princess again.
“Only this one. I carved it myself and decorated it with my own hair and my father’s old cloth. He
died and this is the only thing he left me,” answered Takatuliang.
Princess Sangiang Mapaele was very touched to hear Takatuliang’s story. She decided to marry
Takatuliang because he had given her everything he had. Together, Takatuliang and the princess lived
happily ever after.

2. Suddenly the spell was broken.

A. Listen to the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast and number the pictures.
A long time ago, there lived a prince. He was good looking and very, very rich. He lived in a castle, a
beautiful castle. One day on a rainy night, a woman came to his castle. She was old and ugly. The prince
didn’t like her and he sent her away. The old woman turned into a fairy, a woman with magical powers.
Then, the fairy cast a spell on him and his castle. The prince turned into a very, very ugly beast.
Meanwhile, on the other side of a mountain, there lived a pretty and smart girl. Her name was Belle.
She lived with her father, Maurice. One day, Maurice traveled past the castle. It was raining very hard so he
entered the castle. When the Beast saw Maurice, he captured him.
After some time Belle began to worry about her father. She, then, looked for him. When she arrived
at the castle, she asked the Beast to let her father go, but he refused. Belle, then, agreed to stay in the
castle so her father could go home.

10
Man: gray Boy: blue, green bpy & girl: orange
Woman: yellow Girl: pink, purple

At first Belle didn’t like the Beast because he was mean. He got angry very often. Then, slowly he
changed. He was not mean anymore. Soon Belle began to like him and finally they fell in love with each
other.
When Belle declared her love for him, suddenly the spell was broken. He turned into a good looking
prince again. In the end, Belle and the Beast got married and they lived happily ever after.

Binsar : Is it made of rice?
Johan : Yes. It’s made of sticky rice, coconut milk, and salt.

Johan : Yes. Before the rice is put inside, the bamboo is lined with banana leaves. After that, it is placed
on a small fire for about three to four hours.
Binsar : Wow, that’s a very long time.
Johan : It is usually eaten with meat dishes such as chicken curry.
Binsar : I feel really hungry now.

D. Listen to the monolog and tick the true sentences.

Hi guys. Today I want to talk about satay, one of the popular dishes in Indonesia. It is known widely in
almost all places in the country. It is served in street-side restaurants with tents, in fancy restaurants, in
traditional markets, or during traditional parties. It can be also bought from a travelling satay seller.
Satay consists of pieces of dice-sized meat on bamboo skewers. In some places the meat is
marinated in turmeric sauce before it is skewered. The skewers of meat, then, are grilled over charcoal or
wood fire. Satay is usually served with peanut sauce or soybean sauce with slices of chilly and shallots.

2. It is made of two to four bamboo tubes.

A. Listen and learn.
Johan : It’s a beautiful angklung.
Thinneke : Thank you. My uncle gave it to me when I visited him two years ago.
Johan : It’s a traditional musical instrument from West Java, isn’t it?
Thinneke : Yes. It was made in my uncle’s angklung workshop in Bandung.
Johan : Did your uncle make it?
Thinneke : No. Some workers did.
Johan : Can people buy angklungs in the workshop?
Thinneke : Sure. When I was in Bandung, angklungs were also sold in many craft shops.
Johan : I see.
Thinneke : They can also be bought online.
Johan : Really?
Thinneke : Yes. Many of my uncle’s customers never come to the workshop. They visit my uncle’s website
and order angklungs online.
Johan : Wow, that’s great.

G. Listen to the monolog and complete the text using the words in the box.

Man: gray Boy: blue, green bpy & girl: orange
Woman: yellow Girl: pink, purple

Hi, I want to talk about another traditional musical instrument. It is called sasando, which originated in Rote,
East Nusa Tenggara. While angklung is played by shaking the instrument, sasando is played by picking its
strings.
Sasando is made of palm leaves and a tube of bamboo. Some palm leaves are woven and attached
to each end of a tube of bamboo. Strings are attached on the bamboo to produce notes.
To play the sasando, both hands play it in opposite directions. The bass or melody is played with
the left hand and the chord is played with the right hand. You see, it is not easy to play the sasando. It
needs harmonization of feelings and techniques to produce melodious music.

Well, students. Today, I’m going to talk about plants. I’d like to divide my talk into two parts. The first part
will be about trees and the second will be about flowering plants. Let’s begin with trees. A tree consists of
three main parts: the crown or canopy, trunk, and roots.
The crown or canopy is at the top of a tree. It filters dust and other particles from the air. It consists of
leaves, branches, and twigs. As you all know, the leaves are the food factories of a tree. They contain
chlorophyll which helps the photosynthesis process and gives green color to the leaves.
Now, let’s talk about trunk or stem. The trunk of a tree supports the crown and gives the tree its shape
and strength. The trunk consists of several layers. The layers carry water and minerals up from the roots to
the leaves and they carry sugar down from the leaves to the branches, trunk, and roots.
What about roots? Roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil, store sugar, and hold the tree
upright in the ground. Roots also have a lot of branches. Some roots can go down for more than four
meters! Now look at this chart and after a break, I will continue with flowering plants.

F. Listen to the monolog and tick the words you hear.

Now, let’s move to the second part of our discussion which is the flowering plant. A flowering plant consists
of roots, stalk, leaves, and flowers.
The roots get minerals and water from the soil. They also hold the plant upright in the ground.
The stalk gives support to the flower. It also carries minerals and water to the leaves and food from
the leaves to the other parts of the plant.
The flower is the reproductive unit of a plant. The outer part of the flower consists of petals and
sepals. The sepals have green color. They protect a flower bud before it blooms. The petals usually have
bright colors. Their bright colors attract insects to come to the flowers.
The leaves are the food factories of a plant. They are usually flat and contain chlorophyll. The
chlorophyll gives green color to the leaves. It also changes the energy from the sunlight into food through
photosynthesis.

2. Coconut palm trees grow well in tropical countries.

A. Listen and learn.
Coconuts
Coconut is a common name for the fruit of a tree of the palm family. It is classified as Cocos nucifera.
People usually call the tree coconut palm. Coconut palm trees grow well in tropical countries. They grow
especially in sandy soil.
The trees can grow up to 30 m high. They have a single cylindrical trunk. At the top of the trunk, there
is a crown of leaves. The leaves are long, about 3 to 4.5 m long.
The fruit grows in clusters. In one cluster, there are about 5–20 coconuts. The fruit is oval and about 30
cm long. It has a thick husk and a hard shell. Inside the shell there is white oily flesh. Inside the shell, there
is also a sweet fluid.
Coconut is high in sugar. It also contains a lot of fat, protein and vitamins. The young coconut water
can be a very refreshing drink which contains a lot of minerals.
Coconut palms are very useful plants. People can use every single inch of the tree. They dry the
coconut meat into copra. After that, they can get oil from it and use it for daily cooking or make it into soap

or candles. People also use the trunks to build houses. For the roof, they dry the leaves. People can also
make rope and doormats from the coconut’s husk.
Coconuts are usually propagated by seeds, but experts have been trying to clone coconuts or
propagate them by tissue culture.
