1. Nikens Letter about Butterflies

("Is it true that butterflies never visit your garden?")

Fifit, my dearest friend, How are you? I've read your letter and it's made me

happy. In that letter, you told me about your beautiful garden that is never visited by

butterflies. trange, isn't it? ! garden full of flowers but without butterflies. Fifit, do

you want to hear my stories? I also have a little garden beside my house. efore that,

we had a garden at the front of the house. It's a pity, we had to loose the garden for the

ma#ing of the publi$ road. !bout the little garden, it used to be an empty field, where

wild grass and bushes grew. %ot so interesting view.

&ne day, my $lever big sister, apti, turned that empty field to a garden. ell,

a busy day it was. e went here and there to our neighbors to lend shovels and plant

s$issors. First we $ut all the wild plants and $leaned the field. hen, we made some

little hills. !fter that, we loo#ed for flower plants. e $alled every plantseller who

passed our house and $hose some beautiful plants, and of $ourse, the not so e*pensive

one. e also as#ed the seller how to plant and too# $are of those plants.

he garden was not full at on$e be$ause we bought the plant one by one. +ou

should #now we bought the plants with our po$#et money. esides buying we also

had new plants from our friends. very wee# we always had new plants. !nd after

months, our garden had been full of beautiful plants and flowers. e're proud of it. o

were -om and ad. I don't #now e*a$tly how many #inds of plants there are in our

garden. ut I'm sure, the rose is the most I love. here are red roses and orange roses.

I love the other flowers too. ut I do not #now the entire names. u$h as little white

flowers with shape li#e bells/ violet flowers that remind me of some very tiny flowers/

big yellow flowers, or or$hid with red dots on it. 0ery beautiful, isn't it?

1uests always visit the garden every day and are never bored to en2oy it for

hours. %o, they're not my friends, or apti's friend. &ur friends do not $ome every

day. 3an you guess who they are? u44ing bees, $aterpillars that never stop $hewing

the leaves, dan$ing ladybugs, the hardwor#ing ants, and most of all5 the butterflies

with their gorgeous wings.

I often stand among the flowers and then some butterflies sit on my hands. I

$an see very $learly, how they flutter their $olored wings. hat beautiful $reatures7

hey seem to spea# to me. %ot with our language, but with gra$e movement, as if

they said, "%i$e to be here in your garden. e $an fly from one flower to another

without fear to be harmed."

ear Fifit, your garden is not the only one that is never visited by butterflies.

ome of my friends have the same $omplain as you have. hy? e$ause the

butterflies are always $hased, $aptured, even tortured. 3an you imagine if your body

is tied tightly and then you are for$ed to run? ome #ids did that awful thing to

butterflies7 hey tied butterflies with strings till they $ouldn't fly again. he poor

butterflies $ould only fluttered their wings in vain. hey must have s$reamed, "8lease,

release me7" ometimes, a butterfly $ould es$ape and 9ui$#ly warned their friends.

"at$h out7 on't ever go to that garden. here is a #id who li#es hurting us." Finally,

no butterfly ever dares visiting that garden.

Fifit, eventhough they are animals, the butterflies also have feelings. If we do

good things to them, they would do ni$e things to us. If we do bad things to them,

they won't $ome to you again.hey are wea# animals. If danger $omes, they $an only

fly away. hey $an't fight ba$#.

%ow, is it true butterflies never visit your garden? ry to wat$h your garden

from inside the house through the window. I'm sure, there will be some butterflies

$ome by. 8robably, they wait until nobody was in the garden.

Fifit, I am not a$$using you hurting the butterflies. -aybe there was

somebody who had $ome to your garden and disturbed the butterflies. If you want tospea# to butterflies, it's easy. he most important thing is never having intention to

harm them. 1ive some friendly signs that you want to play with them. I'm sure they

will do it for you. Hope many butterflies will $ome to your garden soon.

+our best friend,

8erhaps, the basis of aneba#a myth is a alinese interpratition of to*oplasma

disease. ell, I'm not so good in biology but I heard that to*oplasma virus "eats" the

womb, so the womb suddenly returns to the normal si4e. he virus 2umped into a

pregnant woman through $at andLor bird.

I'm #ind of $onfused with this $ir$um$ise part. I don't #now if it's a alinese

traditional ritual, or influen$e from any religion. From what I #now, Hindu doesn't

have $ir$um$ising ritual, and Islami$ influen$e is so small in the island.!3

was $oming $loser and he thought the tiger was going to eat him.

he mouse deer was very s$ared and his heart beat so hard.

hen, an idea $ame to his mind and he made a loud noise of $hewing nuts, saying,

"ow, how deli$ious is this tiger's eye7"

He repeated it for five times.

iger, the #ing of 2ungle, was so s$ared to hear that and he moved ba$#.

iger met a bear on the way and he said, "Hey, ear. o you hear what did the

animal on the pit over there, eating tiger's eyes?"

ear said, "I don't #now, +our -a2esty,"

iger said, "hen let's see."

iger said, "on't worry. @et's ma#e a deal with me. e're going tostay together,

uniting our tails. If anything happens, both of us will fa$e it."

iger and ear tied their tails and moved into the pit with full $autions be$ause

they were e*pe$ting to see a big enemy.

uddenly a wide sea appeared between them. he giant had to swim to rea$h her

imun -as was still running, but now the giant almost $aught her. hen she

too# some $hilly and threw them to the giant. he $hilly suddenly grew into some

trees and trapped the giant. he trees grew some thorns as sharp as a #nife. he giant

s$reamed painfully. !t the mean time, imun -as $ould es$ape again.

ut the giant was very strong. !gain he almost $aught imun -as. o imun

-as too# the third magi$ stuff, the $u$umber seeds. he threw the seeds and suddenly

they be$ame a wide $u$umber field. he giant was very tired and hungry so he atethose fresh $u$umbers. He ate too mu$h that he felt sleepy and fell asleep soon.

imun -as #ept on running as fast as she $ould. ut soon she was very tired
