Text 1.My First Flight
This experience happened when I was going to
Jakarta 30 years ago. I imagined I would have a
happy journey that day. I knew it was going to be
my bad day that day, when the taxi driver got lost
to the airport. It was 30 minutes before the plane
was taking off. I was so panic. So I asked the
driver to speed up the taxi.
When finally we got to the airport, the
receptionist could not find my name which Ibooked by phone. When I spelled my name, finally she could find my name after 15
minutes.
Then I boarded the plane the last, found my seat, and fastened my seatbelt. I
hoped I sat next to a young handsome boy. It was a five-year old boy who caught cold
sitting next to me. He was busy to weep his mucus while sometimes sneezing. I
offered my tissue to him and he accepted it.
After five minutes taking off, the flight attendant informed that one of the
plane machines didnt work. He wanted us not to worry. Five minutes later, he told us
that another machine didnt work. Still, he wanted us to be calm down. When the
flight reached around 500 feet, another machine didnt work. The pilot decided to
land the plane and return to the airport because he would not fly the plane with onlyone machine working.

Finally the plane landed safely. I planned to return home as soon as possible
and not to go that day. I took my luggage and went home directly. I was glad that

a bath and went to bed. When I looked down my luggage, I was so surprised that I

Babu and the Lion
One day, there was a slave whose name was Babu. His master was very, very
bad. He often punched Babu and did not offer him food for days. So he escaped into a
forest and slept in a cave.
Next morning, he heard a loud roar. In front of him, at the mouth of the cave,
there was a very big lion. Babu was scared to death! He could not escape. He
imagined the lion would kill him, but didnt happen. It was tame. There was a largethorn in its right front foot. The lion looked at Babu. It seemed to say something,
