woman and later her step sister was born. Unfortunately, not long after that her
father died. Since then, Bawang Putihs life was sad. Her step mother and her step
sister treated Bawang Putih badly and always asked her to do all the household
chores.
One morning, Bawang Putih was washing some clothes in a river. Accidentally, her
mothers clothes were washed away by the river. She was really worried so she
walked along the river side to find the clothes. Finally she met an old woman. She
said that she kept the clothes and would give them back to Bawang Putih if she
helped the old woman do the household chores. Bawang Putih helped her happily.
After everything was finished, the old woman returned the clothes. She also gave
Bawang Putih a gift. The old woman had two pumpkins, one pumpkin was small and
the other one was big. Bawang Putih had to choose one.
Bawang Putih was not a greedy girl. So she took the small one. After thanking the
old woman, Bawang Putih then went home. When she arrived home, her step
mother and Bawang Merah were angry. They had been waiting for her all day long.
Bawang Putih then told about the clothes, the old woman, and the pumpkin. Her
mother was really angry so she grabbed the pumpkin and smashed it to the floor.
Suddenly they all were surprised. Inside the pumpkin they found jewelries. Bawang
Merah, hurry up. Go to the river and throw my clothes into the water. After that, find
the old woman. Remember, you have to take the big pumpkin, the step mother
asked Bawang Merah to do exactly the same as Bawang Putihs experience. Bawang
Merah immediately went to the river. She threw the clothes and pretended to search
them. Not long after that, she met the old woman. Again she asked Bawang Merah
to do household chores. She refused and asked the old woman to give her a big
pumpkin. The old woman then gave her the big one. Bawang Merah was so happy.
She ran very fast. When she arrived home, her mother was impatient. She directly
smashed the pumpkin to the floor. They were screaming. There were a lot of snakes
inside the pumpkin! They were really scared. They were afraid the snakes would
bite them. Mom, I think God just punished us. We had done bad things to Bawang
Putih. And God didnt like that. We have to apologize to Bawang Putih, said Bawang
Merah.
Finally both of them realized their mistakes. They apologized and Bawang Putih
forgave them. Now the family is not poor anymore. Bawang Putih decided to sell all
the jewelries and used the money for their daily lives.

The Ant And The Grasshopper

In a field one summers day a grasshopper was hopping about, chirping

and singing to its hearts content. An ant passed by, bearing along with
great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.
Why not come and chat with me, said the grasshopper, instead of
toiling and moiling in that way?
I am helping to lay up food for the winter, said the ant, and recommend
you to do the same.
Why bother about winter? said the grasshopper; we have got plenty of
food at present. The Ant went on its way and continued its toil.
When the winter came the grasshopper found itself dying of hunger while
it saw the ants distributing, every day, corn and grain from the stores
they had collected in the summer.

LORD MAKE ME GENIUS

Early life under the course will also have a science that is still down. The desire to be the Star has not
been unthinkable in my brain. Because of my childhood I still only know the small things ya like playing,
learning. And in learning I'm still in the stage of world science reached the door.
Teachers who taught me most loyal none other than my own mother when I was school kindergarten
though I rarely enter the brain because the teacher killer usual stuff. At home I was taught my mother to
write, read letter by letter until I could reach the sentence and could certainly read the story.
When I entered grade 1 start I adapt to the school, for one year I did not achieve my grades good level
anyway unsatisfactory ugly views, but thankfully I went up to grade 2 classroom course yes. In grade 2 I
can understand the things many would wish ya hopes therein and that moment of hope came from the
depths of my heart.
I'm learning but I'm from the first I never learned ngetril as not view tv I always see tv to learn but I
always mudeng and can. In grade 2, the increase appears at that time that I got the fourth rank unexpected
things come up. Its first class first reading still lacking in 2nd grade I could achieve a drastic
improvement.
Substitution levels certainly made me more mature in thinking. I have hopes of being smart. And to be
smart in my elementary school, it was difficult because of the competition among the students is really
challenging because of my friends children are smart. But my hope will never die what reality, there I can
always get the big 5/3 large. And from the first lucky number is always 4 when the elementary school I
often rank 3 rank 4 but just once in the past 6 years (hmmm !!!).
SD period after the time I entered junior levels higher. I can go in SMPN 02 Rock. There duffel
expectations rise. I always great and I cherish offset by studying Diligently. In junior high school I'd
always learn learn learn I rarely play out Because I always kept in his bedroom. Once I was in junior high
my competition analysis more weight Because my friends all the clever so I think ya should be Able to be
no.1 in SMPN 02 Rock. From the beginning my biggest dream and hope that I would like to join the race
to the national / international.
I wanted to like on television they could be famous for their ingenuity and she said because of efforts to
study hard and pray. I always try to the extent that one day I learned 9 hours while watching TV. My
efforts and my intention to become the best brightest great to be a star. I have very high expectations to be
a genius.
But why am I still not so no.1 when I was the person who had a passion for reaching the ideals because I
want to have a bright future yag good fathoms. I do not want to be the children who participated in
promiscuity and finally a bright future I can not craved again, I do not want to be like that.
Every day I pray God when my efforts will be appreciated and it can provide results that what I want for
me. Prayer typically only God can pour out for small letters I addressed to God because I was always
waiting for an answer I never give up before my ideals into a genius no.1 in Indonesia can be achieved
I'm sure this is not a fantasy that can not be achieved, because of the desire it depends on us.
My efforts, my intentions, hopes so big I do not give up to achieve all of this I want to be the best, but it
seems the result would be so long because I like tested by God. But will he granted my wish ???. he says
God loves the servant who never give up and I wanted to prove I was one of the words.
I will not give in to reach what's best for my life because I want to live a happy and I'm going to prove it
to the whole world that I'm Agnes was a girl who could be the best in Indonesia. Because I'm the
diamond, gold Indonesia.
But why do people always beranggap negative. Moreover, school children, in the hope of gold they
always say that this sensation is a high fantasy mirage deh. I'm always amazed at people like that what's
in their hearts, they do not want to have a bright future what they do not want to be the best so smart.
Why do they only think about the sheer pleasure of the moment. If only world filled with people who
have high expectations and unyielding surely the world will menjai beautiful earth
