Why Doesnt a Bear Have a Long Tail? One afternoon, a mouse deer was sitting in a pit, eating nuts. He heard a tiger was coming closer and he thought the tiger was going to eat him.The mouse deer was very scared and his heart beat so hard. Then, an idea came to his mind and he made a loud noise of chewing nuts, saying, "Wow, how delicious is this tiger's eye!"He repeated it for five times. Tiger, the king of jungle, was so scared to hear that and he moved back. Tiger met a bear on the way and he said, "Hey, Bear. Do you hear what did the animal on the pit over there, eating tiger's eyes?"Bear said, "I don't know, Your Majesty,"Tiger said, "Then let's see."Bear replied "But I'm scared, Your Majesty"Tiger said, "Don't worry. Let's make a deal with me. We're going to stay together, uniting our tails. If anything happens, both of us will face it."

Tiger and Bear tied their tails and moved into the pit with full cautions because they were expecting to see a big enemy. The mouse deer was surprised again.He thought quickly and yelled, "Oh, that's the glutton tiger! His father owes us a white bear, now he will pay us with a black bear. Come on black, over here."Bear was so surprised. "Hey, it's a Tiger's trick! He wanted to use me to pay his father's debt!" Bear went into a panic, which also made Tiger panic because they were tied each other. Accidentally, Tiger stepped on the Bear's tail, then jumped. Bear was beaten on the ground hard, and his tail was cut off. That's why Bear doesn't have long tail.Thus the mouse deer escaped from the tiger twice.

(a) The underworld went to Hades (Pluto). He is not only called the God of Death but also the God of Wealth because of the precious metals hidden in the earth.

(b) The story goes that Cronus learned that one of his children would overthrow him. To prevent this, every time Rhea gave birth to a child he would swallow it. However, when their son Zeus (Jupiter) was born, Rhea had him hidden on the island of Crete. Then she presented Cronus with a stone, instead of the baby, wrapped in swaddling clothes. Cronus swallowed the stone, and Zeus grew to manhood. Zeus then forced his father to disgorge his brothers and sisters, and with their help overthrew Cronus and the other Titans.

(c) The greatest power in this new universe went to Zeus, who ruled over all gods and men from his palace high on mount Olympus. He was the God of justice and the God of oaths and hospitality. He married his sister Hera, and together they became the heads of a divine family made up of themselves and ten other gods and goddesses.

(d) In the beginning, according to the ancient Greeks, there was Chaos a great mass of darkness without shape or sound or meaning. Out of this grew Night and Erebus, the shadowy world under the earth, which is the home of death. The came a wonderful thing called Love, which produced Light and Day. Mother earth, called Gaea, appeared next with Heavens blue, star-studded dome on high.

(e) One brother, Poseidon, ruled the sea. He always carried a three-pronged spear. When he drove his golden chariot over the waters, they became calm and smooth before him.

(f) Now that Zeus and his brothers and sisters had power over the universe, they drew lots to see who should control different kingdoms

(g) Monsters first inhabited this mythological world, but in time giants called Titan drove them out. Cronus was the ruling Titan, and Rhea, his sister, was his queen

The Princess and the Bowling Ball

Once upon a time there was a Prince. And this Princes dad and mum somehow got it into their royal heads that no princess would be good enough for their boy unless she could feel a pea trough one hundred mattresses .

So it should come no surprise that the Prince had a very hard time finding a Princess. Every time he met a nice girl, his mum and dad would pile one hundred mattresses on top of a pea and then invite her to sleep over.

When the Princess came down for breakfast, the queen would ask, How did you sleep dear?.

The Princess would politely say, Fine, thank you.

And the King would show her to the door.

Now this went for three years. And of course nobody ever felt the pea under on hundred mattresses .Then the Prince set up a plan. He invited a Princess to sleep over in the palace. The Prince told her what must she said in the next morning.

When the Princess came down for breakfast the next morning, the Queen asked, How did you sleep, dear?.

This might sound odd said the Princess. But I think you need another mattress. I felt like I was sleeping on a lump as big as bowling ball.

The King and Queen were satisfied, and the Prince and The Princess were married. And everyone lived happily, though maybe not completely honestly, ever after.

Mr. John, would you mind writing the story about Cinderella in different version, please!

All right, madam. Ill write it in Indonesian version.

The story youve just heard is a narrative text. Someone tells a narrative text in order to entertain, stimulate emotion or to teach.

A narrative text has tree elements or parts: the orientation, complication and resolution. The orientation introduces main characters in a setting of place and time. The complication tells the problems of the story and how the main characters solve them. The resolution tells the ending of the story.

Ever since then, foxes have had their homes in holes in the ground and buffaloes have had humped shoulders. (A)

The foxes, thinking to escape from Nanabozho, ran away, dug holes in the ground, and hid themselves. But Nanabozho found them and gave them their punishment, "Because you where unkind to the birds, you shall always live in the cold ground." (B)

One day when Buffalo was racing across the plains, he went in the direction of the place where little birds live on the ground. They called to him and to the foxes that he was going where their nests were, but neither paid any attention to them. Buffalo raced on and trampled the bird's nest under his heavy feet. Even when he heard the birds crying, he ran on without stopping. (C)

No one knew that Nanabozho was near. But he had heard about the birds' ruined home, and was sorry for them. He ran ahead, got in front of Buffalo and the foxes, and stopped them. With his stick he hit Buffalo on the shoulders, hard. Fearing that he would receive another blow, Buffalo humped up his shoulders. But Nanabozho only said, "You shall always have a hump on your shoulders, from this day forth. And you shall always carry your head low for shame." (D)

Long ago, when the world was very young, the buffalo had no hump. He got his hump one summer because of his unkindness to birds. He liked to race across the prairies for fun. The foxes would run ahead of him and tell the little animals that their chief, the buffalo, was coming. (E)
