Prabu was a kind and wise king. But it was
a pity that Prabu and his queen hadn't got any children. Thequeen often cried. That was why Prabu went to the jungle. There he prayed

KANGAROO
A Kangaroo is a
marsupial from the Marcopodidae family (marcopods, meaning “ large foot”). In
common use the term is used to describe the largest species from this family,
the Red Kangaroo, the Antilopine Kangaroo, and the Eastern and Western Grey

The Kangaroo is an
Australia icon: It is featured on the Australian coat of arms, on some of its
currency, and is used by many Australian organization, including Qantas.
Kangaroos have large,
powerful hind legs, large feet adapted for leaping, along muscular tail for
balance, and a small head. Like all marsupials, female kangaroos have a pouch
called a marcupium in which joeys compkete postnatal development.
Because of its long
feet, it cannot walk correctly. To move at slow speeds, it used its tail to
form a tripod with its two forelimbs. It then raises its hind teet forward,
in a form of locomotion called “crawl-walking.”

MY
VACATION WITH MY BELOVED PERSONS
One day, my youngest sister said to
me that she really wanted to go to the beach. So I promised her that the next
day we would go to Maron beach in Semarang.
The next day, we prepared many
things in the morning. We brought some foods and beverages, such as fried
rice, chocolate wafers, potato chips, water and orange juice. Before going to
the beach, I ask my closefriend to join us going to the beach. He agreed to
join and he came to my house. After that, we went to the beach. We went there
by motorbike. It took 25 minutes to arrive there. Then, we bought tickets in
the entrance gate. Before swimming, we changed our clothes first. We swam
there for more than one hour. We felt so tired that we decided to eat the
foods that we had brought. Next, my closefriend and I created a very big sand
castle, while my sister continued swimming. After that, we decided to go home
because it was getting dark.
On the way home, we still felt
hungry. So we stopped at a Javanese restaurant to eat something. I ordered “gudeg”,
while my closefriend and my sister ordered “rames” rice. After finished
eating, we paid our bills. Then, we went home. We arrived at home at 6
o’clock and we were absolutely exhausted. That was a very exhausting
day, but I felt so happy that I could have a vacation with my sister and my
