During the holiday break, I went to Prangtritis beach, an
unspoiled beach south of Yogyakarta. I went there with my family
for two days, just after New Years. The drive took about an hour,
and it was very interesting because most of it was countryside.

When we arrived at our holiday house, the first thing we all did
were to get changed into our costumes and go for a swim down at the beach. The beach
was only across the holiday house. The sun was very bright, an the water freezing cold,
and
but it was very refreshing. We swam for a little while, and then we returned home to get
some food. That night, after dinner, we all sat around and played scrabble, until very late.

The next morning, my mother and I walked down to the souvenir stalls, where we shopped
for about two hours. When we got home, my father had packed some tasty food, ready for
the whole family to go to the beach for the afternoon. I had fried chicken and vegetables. It
was extremely delicious. After eating, we played beach volleyball and we had loads of fun.
eating,

I will always remember this holiday because it was the first time in years that the whole
family was able to holiday together, and the weather was fantastic the whole time! We took
plenty of pictures and when I got home, the very first thing I did was to have them
developed. They are treasured memories of a great holiday experience.

Drinking Poison
-Vietnam-

There was a rich man who had a passion for rice wine, but he never gave any to his
servant. Not even a small cupful at Tet.

He had to be away from home one day, so he gave instructions to the servant: "While I'm
absent you must watch over the rooster in the cage, and that fine piece of pork in the
kitchen. Don't let the cat or the dog go near them." He pointed to a bottle of his favorite rice
wine on the shelf and warned, "That's a bottle of poison I bought to kill the rats. Whatever
you do, don't drink it."

As soon as the rich man had departed the servant killed the rooster, and cooked it and the
pork for his lunch. He washed it down with the rice wine and had the most splendid meal he
had ever tasted.

The master arrived home and found his servant in a drunken sleep on the kitchen floor. He
shook him awake and demanded to know what had happened to the rooster and the pork,
and why he had drunk from the bottle.

"Oh, great lord," sobbed the servant, "I did my best to guard your food but the cat managed
to steal the pork and the dog killed the rooster. I was so afraid of your anger that I decided
to kill myself and drank the poison. Oh, unlucky me, I am still alive."

There are thousands of asteroids in the solar system. Asteroids are small pieces of rock and
metal. Most of them orbit the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids that crash into Earth
are called meteors. Sometimes they burn up as they fall toward Earth. They make streaks of
light in the night sky. Pieces that land on the ground are called meteorites.

Comets are another type of object in the solar system. Comets are like dirty snowballs. They
are made of ice and dust. Comets are usually far out in the solar system. Sometimes a
comet comes in close to the Sun. When it comes in close, the comet starts to melt and looks
like it has a long tail streaming out behind it. In 1994 pieces of a comet called Shoemaker-
Levy 9 crashed into Jupiter. The crash made huge explosions and sent up fireballs that were
larger than Earth.

Earthquakes are movements in Earth’s crust. The crust is Earth’s rocky outer layer, the
solid ground that we live on. Earth’s crust is broken up into many gigantic sections of rigid
rock called plates. The plates slide around slowly on a layer of hot, melted rock deep inside
Earth. Sometimes the plates crash together. Sometimes the edge of one plate slides under
another plate.
Faults are cracks in Earth’s crust between the huge plates. Earthquakes usually
happen along faults. The plates on each side of a fault press against each other with
tremendous force. An earthquake occurs when the rock along the edge suddenly gives way.
Huge chunks of rock underground break and move. They can jolt upward or they can dive
down. Sometimes the blocks of rock along a fault grind sideways past each other.
The place where the rock breaks is called the focus of the earthquake. It is usually
underground. The breaking and moving makes waves travel through the ground. The place
on the ground directly above the focus is called the epicenter. Earthquakes are strongest
near their epicenters.
