A.2. Reading ComprehensionActivity 10Listen to your teacher or friend reading the following story and answer the questions orally.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!"

The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces. "Don't cry 'wolf', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.

Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the wolf away. When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf' when there is NO wolf!"

But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.

Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!" But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping.

"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, "Wolf!" Why didn't you come?" An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village.

"We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth,

Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!" (Taken from; Aesop Fables)

ComplicationThe series of events lead to the crisis.

Hare ran down the road for a while and then and paused to rest. He looked back at Slow and Steady and cried out, "How do you expect to win this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?"

Hare stretched himself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking, "There is plenty of time to relax."

Slow and Steady walked and walked. He never, ever stopped until he came to the finish line.

The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for Tortoise, they woke up Hare.

Hare stretched and yawned and began to run again, but it was too late. Tortoise was over the line.

Beach, which is only five kilometers from where I live.When we arrived at the beach, we were surprised to see there was hardly anyone there.After having a quick dip in the ocean, which was really cold, we realized one reason there were not

many people there. It was also quite windy.After we bought ourselves some hot chips at the takeaway store nearby, we rode our bikes down the

beach for a while, on the hard, damp part of the sand. We had the wind behind us and, before we knew it, we were many miles down the beach.

Before we made the long trip back we decided to paddle our feet in the water for a while, and then sit down for a rest. While we were sitting on the beach, just chatting, it suddenly dawned on us both that all the way back we would be riding into the strong wind.

When we finally made it back home, we were both totally exhausted! But we learned some good lessons that day!

I thought for a minute, then said, “Yes he was.”

A short time later, a man passed by the allay. He was from my neighborhood. I shouted, “Help me.” I knew he was going to help me. He said, I’ll get the police.” Then, he left. I waited but he never came back.

It was getting late, I knew I needed help. It was almost dark when a third man passed the allay. He dressed differently. He wasn’t from my country. I didn’t think he was going to help me.

A DAY TO REMEMBER

About six months ago when I was on holiday in Italy we went to visit the leaning tower of Pisa.

Looking at it from the outside it was massive. I am positively sure that it is one of the seven wonders of the

world. It was crooked and you would really believe it was going to fall, by the angle it sits in. It has 200 steps

leading up to the top. I was quite pleased with myself as I was the first person to reach the top but I was

almost blown off the side when I was nearly deafened by the sound of the bells. You were supposed to wear

earplugs for the noise but we didn’t have any as we didn’t know the bells were going to ring.

When the time came for us to go down again we thought we were going across the road to see a

big round building which had a long round roof. While we were walking inside someone came in and they

were talking very softly but it in fact made a loud echo.

Later we thought we would be sneaky and go down to the graveyard even though we had no

permission. There were a few creepy graves that we thought we would find some bones in but we weren’t in

luck. We looked in every grave that didn’t have a top on but we didn’t find any.

Still, that made our day a thrilling one and one to remember.

Fishing at Seribu Island

Last month, I left Jakarta for Seribu Island. I went there with some members of Jakarta fishing club, who organized the monthly fishing activity. Getting there was not quite easy. It needed two hours by speed boat in a bit rough wave.

Soon, after our arrival at Seribu Island, we got a general briefing. The chief of the fishing club gave some information about the fishing code. It included an explanation how to release out the hook from the fish mouth safely.

Then , we began our fishing. We set out to sea early in the morning. Around 4 kilometers from the beach, we started to fish. Apparently, no one caught any big fish. We caught mostly small yellowtail fish. After fishing for nearly four hours, I only got five fish; three yellow fish, one salmon and one little Merlin. It was not bad at all.

In Summary , the trip was mostly enjoyable. Fishing is absolutely an interesting activity.

Dear Grandpa and Grandma

Yesterday at my school we had International Day. We had performances, food stalls ,

displays, raffles ticket draw and some of us were dressed in costumes.

We started our day off with performances but the one I liked best was the one from fourth

grade. It was about games. The performances I was in was called Labamba

Straight after our performances we had our lunch. There were food stalls. They came from

Australia, Asian, Arabic and Greece.

Everyone had a job. These people were from sixth grade. I did my job after I had lunch.

My job was to sell International Day Books.

We had displays in the hall. These displays were good but I didn’t get to see them. The

displays came from a lot of countries.

There was also a Trash & Treasure stall where they sell toys. The school got these things

by asking the children to bring them in.

After lunch we had a raffle ticket draw. I didn’t win anything but a lot of people did.

Although I didn’t win anything, International Day was still fun
