The Legend of Rawa Pening
Once upon a time, there was a little poor boy came into a little village. He
was very hungry and weak. He knocked at every door and asked for some
food, but nobody cared about him. Nobody wanted to help the little boy.
Finally, a generous woman helped him. She gave him shelter and a meal.
When the boy wanted to leave, this old woman gave him a “lesung”, a big
wooden mortar for pounding rice. She reminded him, “please remember, if
there is a flood you must save yourself. Use this “lesung” as a boat”. The
“lesung” was happy and thanked the old woman.The little boy continued his
journey. While he was passing through the village, he saw many people
gathering on the field. The boy came closer and saw a stick stuck in the
ground. People challenged each other to pull out that stick. Everybody tried,
but nobody succeeded. “Can I try?” asked the little boy. The crowd laughed
mockingly. The boy wanted to try his luck so he stepped forward and pulled
out the stick. He could do it very easily. Everybody was dumbfounded.
Suddenly, from the hole left by stick, water spouted out. It did not stop until
it flooded the village. And no one was saved from the water except the little
boy and the generous old woman who gave him shelter and meal. As she
told him, he used the “lesung” as a boat and picked up the old woman. The
whole village became a huge lake. It is now known as Rawa Pening Lake in

My Adolescence
I had my adolescence when I was thirteen.
It started with acne that showed up on my face.
It was very annoying. It lowered my self-esteem
and I was embarrassed to come out of my house
and play with friends.
Fortunately, my Mum gave me a good medicine.
In three weeks, the acnes started to vanish
although those showed some black spots in my
face.
That was my bad experience with adolescence,
though there were still lots of good experience
too.
