Read the legend of Situ Bagendit below and then summarize it. The

flow chart may help you make your summary more organized.

Present your summary to the class orally.

Situ Bagendit

Nyai Bagendit was a widow. She was the richest person in the village. She had a

very big house full of jewellery. She also had many servants working for her. Nyai

Bagendit was also known for her bad attitude. She did not like to help others. Whenever

the villagers needed some money, they borrowed the money from her. However, when

they returned it, the villager had to pay double. If they were not able to return the debt,

Nyai Bagendit would ask her servants to take the villagers belongings.

Nyai Bagendit also hated beggars. She thought that beggars were lazy people. She

never felt sorry to any beggars coming to her house. So when the old beggar came to her

house, Nyai Bagendit immediately to ask her to go. “Go away you lazy old woman! Go

out of my house!” “Please, Nyai, give me some money or just give me some food. I'm so

hungry,” said the beggar. “

Food? You asked for food? This is my house not a restaurant.

Go now! I don’t want to see you here!”

Nyai Bagendit then threw a stone to the old beggar. The old beggar was very sad.

She then said, "Nyai Bagendit, I know you are the riches person in this village. You have

anything but you never help other people. You are not grateful to God. Wait for the

punishment from God. You will be punished!" The old beggar then left Nyai Bagendit's

house. "Ha ha ha! You are right. I'm the richest person here. So no one can punish me, not

even God can punish me!" Nyai Bagendit was very arrogant. Nyai Bagendit then went

back to her big house.

Not long after that, an earthquake happened. Her house fell down. Nyai Bagendit

cried for help. "Help me! Somebody please help me!" But nobody listened her crying for

help. Nobody in the village felt the earthquake. Amazingly, the earthquake only

happened in Nyai Bagendit's house. The land was opened. It was so big that the entire

Nyai Bagendit's house and all her wealth were gone. The villagers just watched what

happened to Nyai Bagendit and her house. They were amazed. They knew that God

punished Nyai Bagendit for behaving badly and never helped other people. Slowly, the

place where Nyai Bagendit’s house stood became lake. Since then, people named the lake

as Situ Bagendit. It means Lake Bagendit.

advised Manik Angkeran to stop his bad habit, but he never listened to them. Instead he

kept on begging to his parents to give him a lot of money. The parents then did not have

the heart to see him begging.

Sidi Mantra, his father, then went to Agung Mountain. There lived a mighty

dragon with his great supernatural power. He could provide jewelleries to those who

could say the right prayers and ring the bell. Sidi Mantra had the bell and he also knew

the prayers. "My name is Sidi Mantra. I have a problem. My son likes to gamble. He

made me poor. And now he asks a lot of money. I want to give him some, but now I

want him to promise to stop his bad behaviour," explained Sidi Mantra after he met the

dragon.

Sidi Mantra then said the prayers and rang the bell. Suddenly, jewelleries came

out from the dragon's body. He was very happy and immediately brought the

jewelleries home. This time Sidi Mantra wanted Manik Angkeran really to stop

gambling. The son then promised. But soon he broke the promise. He knew about the

dragon.

He heard that his father got the jewelleries from the dragon living in Agung Mountain.

So he stole his father's bell then went there. After arrived in Agung Mountain, Manik

Angkeran rang the bell. The dragon knew him. "I will give you anything you want but

you have to promise to stop gambling. Remember the karma!" then the dragon gave him

the jewelleries. Manik Angkeran was very happy. Suddenly he had a bad idea. He

wanted to kill the dragon and stole all his jewelleries.

The dragon knew his plan and with his great power he killed Manik Angkeran.

Sidi Mantra was very sad. He asked the dragon to bring his son back to life. The dragon

agreed but they had to live in different places. After few moments, Manik Angkeran

lived again.

Then Sidi Mantra used a stick to make a big line between them on the ground.

From the line, water flowed. Soon it became a river. Finally it became a strait. It

separated Java and Bali. People then named the strait as Bali Strait.

The Crying Stone

a Folktale from West Kalimantan

On the way to the market, everybody admired the girl's beauty. They

were also curious. Behind the beautiful girl, there was an old woman with a

simple dress. The girl and her mother looked very different!

"Hello, pretty lady. Who is th

e woman behind you?" asked them. “She is my

servant,” answered the girl.

The mother was very sad, but she did not say anything.

The girl and the mother met other people. Again they asked who the

woman behind the beautiful girl. Again the girl answered that her mother was

her servant. She always said that her mother was her servant every time they

meet people.

One day, the mother asked the girl to accompany her to go to the market

to buy some food. At first the girl refused, but the mother persuaded her by

saying they were going to buy new clothes. The girl finally agreed. But she asked

her mother to walk behind her. She did not want to walk side by side with her

mother. Although her mother was very sad, she agreed to walk behind her

daughter.

"Mother, please forgive me!" she cried and asked her mother to forgive

her. But it was too late. Her whole body finally became a big stone. People then

called it the crying stone or

batu menangis

since there were tears falling down the

stone.

In a small village, a girl lived with her mother. The girl was very

beautiful. Everyday she put make-up and wore her best clothes. She did not like

to help her mother work in a field. The girl was very lazy.

At last, the mother could not hold the pain anymore. She prayed to God

to punish her daughter. God answered her prayer. Slowly, the girl's leg turned

into stone. The process continued to the upper part of the girl's body. The girl

was very panicky.

Mentiko Betuah

Folklore from Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam

A long time ago, there was a kingdom in Semeulue, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam.

The king and the queen had a son, the prince. They loved the prince very much. They

always gave him anything he wanted and that made him grew as a spoiled young man.

The king realized his mistake. He wanted to give the prince a lesson. He asked the prince

to leave the palace and became a merchant.

"I will give you some money. Use the money only for trading. Don't come back

until you are rich!" asked the king.

The prince was sad. He knew his father was angry with him because he was a

spoiled boy. He then promised himself that he could become a great merchant.

After he left the palace, he went to a village. While he was walking, he saw some kids

were trying to shoot a bird using their slingshots.

"Stop! Don't hurt the bird! I'll give you some money if you stop hurting him,"

said the prince. After that, he gave some money to those kids.

Later, he saw some men were torturing a snake. Again, the prince asked them to

stop hurting the snake. He also gave them some money. He kept on giving some money

to people who tortured animals. Finally he did not have any money at all. He was so

worried. He knew he could not become a merchant without any money in his pocket. He

was also scared of going home. His father would be very angry at him.

Next, the prince went to the forest. He did not know anywhere to go. While he was

sitting under a big tree, a giant snake came to him. He was so frightened.

"Don't worry, young man. I will not eat you. I am the king of snakes in this

jungle. I heard you helped many animals from being tortured. Now, I want to give

you a gift. This is Mentiko Betuah. This magical stone can give you anything you

want."

The prince was happy. He asked the Mentiko Betuah to give him a lot of

money. Amazingly, the prince later had a lot of money. So he went home and told his

father that the money was from his business as a merchant.

The prince kept the Mentiko Betuah carefully. He went to a goldsmith and

asked him to make the magical stone as a ring. Unfortunately, the goldsmith stole the

Mentiko Betuah. The prince was angry. Luckily he had made friends to the animals.

Then they all helped him find the Mentiko Betuah.

A cat, a dog, and a mouse went together to find the magical stone. They

finally found the goldsmith. However they could not enter his house, only the mouse

could. After waiting for a moment, the mouse came out of the house. He said he

could not find the magical stone. After that they all went back to the palace. The cat

and the dog did not know that the mouse actually had found the magical stone. He

was hiding it in his mouth. He then gave the Mentiko Betuah to the prince. He was so

happy and said that the mouse was the hero.

The cat and the dog were jealous and angry. They tried to kill the mouse.

That's why until now cats and dogs always try to catch mice.

Sangi the Hunter

Folklore from Central Kalimantan

A long time ago in Central Kalimantan, a great hunter named Sangi lived. Every

time he went to the jungle to go hunting, he brought a lot of animals home. Sangi lived

with his family on a riverside.

As always, Sangi went to the jungle. He saw some footprints of a wild hog. He

slowly followed the footprints. The footprints ended in a big tree. Sangi thought the hog

was behind the tree. Slowly he walked around the tree then he was really

amazed

. He

saw a big dragon was trying to swallow a wild hog. The hog was so big that the dragon

could not swallow it easily.

After several times trying to swallow, finally the dragon gave up. Suddenly, the

dragon looked at Sangi. He was really shocked! He wanted to run very fast. He thought

the dragon would eat him alive.

Questions

1. What does the story tell us about?

a. A dragon who was killed by Sangi.

b. The people lived near to Sangi River.

c. The beginning of Sangi River.

d. The dragon who stayed in Sangi River.

2. What did Sangi usually do in the jungle?

a. Cutting trees.

b. Hunting hogs.

c. Hunting dragons.

d. Killing wild animals.

Though Sangi had tried to run, his feet could not move at all. The dragon

slowly came to him. Then they were face to face. When the dragon was exactly in front

of him, it turned into smoke. When the smoke was gone, there was a handsome man.

He said, ''Eat that wild hog. This is your punishment for seeing me try to eat.'' ''I can't.

I am a human. I cannot eat a wild hog that big,'' said Sangi. ''Yes, you can. If you are a

dragon, you can eat that hog,'' said the man.

Then Sangi changed into a dragon. After that, he ate the hog. Later, he changed

back as a human. ''What happened to me? Why could I change as a dragon?'' said

Sangi. ''It also happened to me years ago. I did what you did. I saw a dragon ate then

the dragon made me a dragon. It is great to be like us. We are half dragon and half

human. You can change to be a dragon or human anytime you like. Besides that, you

can be forever young. I'm more than 100 years old but I still look young right?'' said

the man.

He continued, ''There is one condition that you have to do. Don't tell anyone

that you are a half dragon and half human. If you did, you could be a dragon forever

and unable to change back as human,'' said the man. After that, he disappeared.

Since then, Sangi had two lives, one as a dragon and one as a human. He also looked

young although he was really old. People always asked the secret, but he never told

them why he could look young forever.

On his 150th birthday, people could not stand it anymore. More and more

people asked him. Sangi gave up. He told them that he was actually half dragon and

half

human.

People were laughing at him.

They

did not

believe that.

''I am a dragon!'' screamed Sangi. He was upset because they did not believe him.

Right after Sangi finished saying that, his body was shaking. Slowly he changed as a

dragon. People were scared. They were running away.

Sangi was really sad. He

regretted

for telling them his secret. He knew he

could not live in the village with his family anymore. He went to the river and lived

there. Since then, people named the river Sangi River.

There are nine steps to activate a mobile phone with Multimedia Card (MMC). But,

before removing the cover, always remember to switch off the power and disconnect the

charger or any devices. Now, the first step is to open the phone by sliding the phone

cover towards the bottom of the phone. The second step is to open the memory card

holder by pulling it up gently. Insert the SIM card into the lower slot. Make sure that the

beveled corner of the SIM card is facing toward the top of the phone and that the golden

contact area on the card is facing downward. The third step is to insert the Multimedia

Card (MMC) into the holder’s slot. Make sure that the beveled corner and the golden

contact area of the MMC are facing downward. The fourth step is to close the memory

card holder by pressing it downward until locked. The fifth step is to alight the golden

contact of the battery with the corresponding corners on the phone, and push the

opposite end of the battery until it snaps into the place. The sixth step is to close the

phone cover by sliding it towards the top of the phone. The seventh step is to connect the

power cord to the charger and the other end of the power cord from the charger to the

base of the phone. The eighth step is to connect the charger to an AC wall outlet. The

battery indicator bar on the display starts scrolling. When the battery is fully charged,

the bar stops scrolling. The last step is to turn on the phone by pressing and holding the

power button on the top of the phone.

Ramon: Did you hear that?

Bayu

: What?

Ramon: Another landslide occurred.

Bayu

: Do you think we can stop landslide?

Ramon:

I doubt it.

We can prevent landslide, but I don’t think we can stop it.

Bayu

: Well, I think you’re right. What can we

do to prevent landslide?

Ramon: I think we should start planting trees and stop cutting them down for a start.

Bayu

:

I don’t think

we can really stop careless people cutting trees down.

Ramon:

Well, I think it’s possible to do that

, as long as everyone takes part in it.

Bayu

: Yes, but do you really think that the government can make people listen to them

and do what they tell them to do?

Ramon:

Yes, I’m pretty optimistic about it.

Orangutans or

Pongo pygmaeus

belong to the Primate order. The orangutan

spends most of its time in trees. Each evening it builds a new treetop nest. They are

endangered because of habitat lost and poachers keep on killing, owning, and

exporting orangutans.

They only live on the island of Borneo and in the northern corner of the island of

Sumatra.

Orangutans are characterized by rough, long, reddish-brown fur. Male

orangutans are about 95 cm (37 in) in length and about 77 kg (170 lb) in weight.

Females are smaller, reaching about 78 cm (31 in) in height and weighing only about

37 kg (81 lb). The male has puffy cheeks and a hanging throat-pouch. This pouch

contains air sacks that help produce a groaning, bubbling call, which can be heard at

least 1 km (0.6 mi) away.

Half of the orangutan’s diet consists of fruit, but they also eat young leaves,

soft inner bark, termites, eggs, and occasionally monkeys.

When a female is ready to mate, she will seek out an adult male. Orangutan

are mammals; females give birth to a single infant about once every four to eight

years. The gestational period for orangutans is just under nine months, nearly the

same as in human beings. Infants stay very close to their mothers for the first three

years until they don’t consume their mother’s milk.

LANDSLIDE

A landslide is a geological phenomenon which includes different types of ground

movement, such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows. We

usually also say that landslide is when a large amount of soil and rocks falls down the

side of a hill, cliff, or mountain.

Landslide can

occur naturally or because of human’s action. Natural causes of

landslide includes erosion by river, heavy rains or snowmelt, glacier melting, ocean

waves which create over steepened slopes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, thunder and

lightning, and ground water pressure. Human cause of landslide includes vibrations

from machinery, traffic and road construction, blasting, mining, and logging.

Once upon a time there was a Shepherd who wanted to bring back a stray goat to

instant, the shepherd became very terrified. He then begged the Goat not to tell his

master about it. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak although

I’m silent."

Task 13

The Frog and the Mouse

There once was a frog and a mouse who were very good friends. They did not have

the same kind of house to live in. The mouse lived in a hole in the ground and the frog

lived in the water. The frog could live in the water, but the mouse could not. When they

wanted to visit, the frog would have to come out of the water. When their visit was

finished, the frog would hop back into the water, and the mouse would run back into his

hole in the ground.

One day the frog came out to visit with the mouse. Wickedness entered into his

heart. He got some rope and tied his foot and the mouse's foot together. He was just

playing around. But, after the frog finished visiting, he jumped right back into the water

without untying the rope. He had totally forgot that his feet were still tied together to the

mouse’s.

The mouse could not live in water, and it died. After a while the mouse got bigger

and came out to the top of the water. A hawk saw him and, with a fly down, took both

the dead mouse and the live frog up into the air. The hawk alighted in a tree and ate

both of them. They both met death.

The Story of Panyalahan Village

A Folklore from West Java

LONG time ago in Tasikmalaya, West Java, lived a young couple. They were

farmers. They lived happily with their baby. The couple also had some animals. One of

them was a tiger.

When the couple went to work on the paddy field, the tiger looked after their baby.

As usual, the couple went to the paddy field. Before they left, they asked the tiger to look

after their baby. “We will go to the field now. Look after our baby, okay?” The tiger

nodded. So, the couple went to the field. They worked from morning until afternoon.

When the couple arrived home, the tiger welcomed them. The tiger acted

differently. He wagged his tail and rubbed his body to the couple’s legs. He looked very

happy. The husband became suspicious. “Why does this tiger

behave strangely? He does

not act as usual?” he

thought

. The husband looked at the tiger carefully. He was

shocked. The tiger’s mouth was full of blood. Then he remembered his baby. He

thought

the tiger had eaten the baby. “Why is your mouth full of blood?” he asked the tiger.

“You must have done something bad to my baby! Have you killed him? Why did you do

that?” he was very panicked. The husband took his knife and killed the tiger in anger.

Then they both entered the house. They were shocked. They looked at each other.

Their baby was sleeping peacefully in his cradle. He was not eaten by the tiger. Quickly,

the wife took the baby and kissed him. The baby woke up. He opened his eyes and

smiled. The couple found a very large snake under the cradle. The snake was dead and

full of blood. “Oh, my wife,” the husband said. “We have done a terrible thing. The tiger

is not guilty! Look at the dead snake. The tiger must have killed him. He had saved our

baby, but I killed him. Oh, my God! What have I done? I am so sorry. Forgive me, my

dear tiger. Forgive me, please?” The couple felt very guilty.

They have killed their faithful tiger. It all happened because they did not check the

baby first before they killed the tiger. Since then, the couple’s village was called

Panyalahan. The word Panyalahan derives from the word “nyalahan”, which means

“wrong guess”.
