Wednesday, my students and I went to Yogyakarta. We stayed at Dirgahayu Hotel
which is not far from Malioboro.
On Thursday,
we visited the temples in Prambanan. There are three big temples, the Brahmana,
Syiwa and Wisnu temples. They are really amazing. We visited only Brahmana and
Syiwa temples, because Wisnu temple is being renovated.
On Friday
morning we went to Yogya Kraton. We spent about two hours there. We were lucky
because we were led by a smart and friendly guide. Then we continued our

announcement that Borobudur gate would be closed.
In the

SITU BAGENDIT
A Long time ago, there was a
widow named Bagendit. She lived by herself. Her house was large and beautiful.
Bagendit was a miser woman. Her wealth was plentiful but she never shared her
wealth with other people in her village. She mocked everyone who came to her
house for some help. And she always lent people money but with a high interest.
One day, an old man came to her
house to get a pail of water. Bagendit came out from her house and hit the man
with a pounder.

THE GOOSE THAT LAID GOLDEN EGGS
Once up on a
time, there lived a happy family in a village. A man and his wife lived happily
on a little farm, tending their flock of geese and selling their eggs at the
market. They were not rich, but they were happy with their life together.
Then one day
a new goose flew in among their flock. The couple was surprised to find a shiny
golden egg in her nest. Each and every day after that, the goose laid another
egg of solid gold.
The couple
was soon richer than they had ever dreamed of, but they were not happy. They
grew impatient with only one golden egg a day. The farmer said to his wife,
“Our goose must be full of gold. Why should we wait to have more eggs?”
“If he cut
her open,” his wife agreed, ”We can get all the eggs at once .” So they killed
the goose! They were very surprise to find that it was just like any other
goose inside. Even worse, there would never be any more golden eggs!
