What time is it?
A tramp was lying down and sleeping in the park. He had been sleeping for about 5 minutes
when a couple walked by. The man stopped, woke the tramp up , and asked him, "Excuse me.
Do you know what the time is?" The tramp replied, "I'm sorry - I don't have a watch, so I
don't know the time."
The man apologized for waking the tramp and the couple walked away.
The tramp lay down again, and after a few minutes went back to sleep. Just then, a woman,
who was out walking her dog, shook the tramp's shoulder until he woke up again.
The woman said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, but I'm afraid I've lost my watch - do you happen
to know the time?" The tramp was a little annoyed at being woken up again, but he politely
told the woman that he didn't have a watch and didn't know the time.

He opened the bag that contained all his possessions and got out a pen, a piece of paper and
some string. On the paper, he wrote down, 'I do not have a watch. I do not know the time'.

After about 15 minutes, a policeman who was walking through the park noticed the tramp
asleep on the bench, and the sign around his neck.

SANGKURIANG
A long time ago, the ancient land of Sunda was ruled by a king and queen who had but a single
daughter. Her name was Dayang Sumbi. She was beautiful and clever but also pampered and
spolited.
One day as she was weaving in her pavilion, she became moody and distracted, which caused her to
keep dropping her shuttle on the floor. Once when it fell she exclaimed she would marry the one who
gave it back to her. At that very moment her dog Tumang, a demigod possessing magic powers,
came up to her with the shuttle in his mouth. Dayang Sumbi had to marry him.
They lived happily together, and Dayang Sumbi gave birth to a baby boy, human in appearance but
endowed with his father’s magic powers. She named him Sangkuriang. As the boy grew up, he was
always guarded by the faithful dog Tumang, whom he knew only as a companion and not as his
father, Sangkuriang became handsome and brave.
One day his mother asked him to go hunting with the dog and bring her venison for a feast. After
hunting all day without success, Sangkuriang worried about facing his mother empty-handed.
Desperate, he took an arrow and shot the dog. He returned home and handed over the meat to his
pleased mother. Soon after the feast, however, Dayang Sumbi questioned her son about the absence
of Tumang. At first he evaded her queries but finally told her what had happened. She was horrified
and struck her son so hard on the temple that he collapsed. For that, the old king banished his
daughter from the court and she was made to roam around the kingdom. Sangkuriang recovered with
a large scar on his temple, and he too left the court to wander about the world.
Years later, Sangkuriang met a beautiful woman and instantly fell in love with her. It was his own
mother-they did not recognize each other. He pro posed to her and she agreed to marry him. On the
day before the wedding, as she was caressing her fiancee’s hair, Dayang Sumbi detected the scar on
the temple. Horror struck her, for she was about to marry her own son, Sangkuriang. Without
revealing the whole truth to him, she tried unsuccessfully to dissuade him. Desperate to avoid the
marriage, she set conditions she thought impossible to meet. Sangkuriang had to make a lake that
filled the whole valpley and build a boat for the couple to sail in, all before dawn.
Sangkuriang started to work. His love gave him extraordinary strength, and he used his magic powers
to summon the spirits to help him. With boulders and mud they dammed the river in the valley and the
water rose and began to form a lake. In the early morning hours he chopped down a huge tree in the
forest and began hollowing it out to make a boat. When Dayang Sumbi saw that he was about to
accomplish what she has thought impossible, she called on the gods to bring the sun up early and
thwart Sangkuriang.
3. 3
The cock crowed, the sun rose much earlier than usual, and Sangkuriang realized he had been
deceived. In a fit of fury he caused Dayang Sumbi and kicked the half-finished boat back into the
forest. There it lies upside down today, forming the mountain Tangkuban Perahu (Upturned Boat). Not
far away is the stump of the tree Sangkuriang had felled, now called Bukit Tinggi. The dam
Sangkuriang had built caused the valley to become a lake, where both Sangkuriang and Dayang
Sumbi drowned themselves. They were never heard of again.

Last week I took my five-year old son, Willy, to a musical instrument store in my
hometown. I wanted to buy him a set of junior drum because his drum teacher advised me to
buy him one. Willy likes listening to music very much. He also likes asking me everything he
wants to know. Even his questions sometimes seem precocious for a boy of his age. He is
very inquisitive.
We went there by car. On the way, we saw a policeman standing near a traffic light
regulating the passing cars and other vehicles. He blew his whistle now and then.
