Thailand is an area of 514 square kilometers. It is equal to one third of the size of the South-east Asian
Peninsula. Thailand has been the rice barn of South-east Asia. Rice is one of the main exports of the country
besides other farming products. Ninety percent of the population in Thailand are Buddhists.
Thailand, one of the Kingdoms in South-east Asia, means free country. This is because Thailand is the
only country in South-east Asia which has never been occupied by the European.
Thailand is ruled by a king. The people have great respect for their king because firstly, the kingdom is the
oldest institution in Thailand. Secondly, most of the Kings have succeeded in leading their people and country
towards prosperity. Moreover, the King is the protector of Buddhism, the national religion, and therefore, the king
can do no wrong.

RORO JONGGRANG
( The legend of Prambanan Temple)
The war between Pengging and Prambanan raged in the battlefield. The commander of Pengging was
Prince Bandung Bandawasa and the commander of Prambanan was King Baka, a big giant. The King of
Prambanan was killed, and the war was over. His wife, Roro Jonggrang, a very beautiful queen was safe.
Bandung Bandawasa fell in love with Roro Jonggrang and proposed her to be his wife. Roro Jonggrang
refused his proposal because she thought it would be better if he proposed her daughter, Nawangsih. But
Bandung insisted to marry her. Roro Jonggrang asked him a marriage settlement. She would accept him as her
husband if Bandung could make a magnificent temple with a thousand beautiful statues around it and finished
them in one night before the sun shone.
He agreed her and prayed for help to Gods. When the night fell a big work began. In the field there was a
noise of carving and arranging stones, but no one could see what happened.
Bandung Bandawasa almost finished his temples, but Roro Jonggrang cheated him. She asked villagers to
burn paddi plants in the East, so the women grinded the rice and the cocks crowed. It signed that the sun
shone. Bandung knew about this and became angry. He revenged her and made her a statue.
Bandung Bandawasa was deeply in love with Roro Jonggrang. So he was very disappointed seeing Roro
Jonggrang became a statue. He saw the statue from a certain distance, and the statue waved him and smiled.
Bandung Bandawasa called her aloud, Jonggrang, dont leave me!. He came closer to her but it was a stone.
He did it again and again. Bandung broke his heart and came home to Pengging. And Jongrang ran away from
Bandung Bandawasa to a certain village.
Bandungs father, the king of Pengging asked about the war. But Bandung just smiled and called Roro
Jonggrang, Oh, Jonggrang, will you marry me?. His father asked him again about the war, but Bandung did not
care his fathers order. His father became very angry and said, Bandung , you are the commander of Pengging,
but you acted as if you were a dog". Suddenly, Bandung became a dog.
The dog ran away to the village. However, in the village the dog met a women who was weaving clothes.
The woman was in trouble with the spin (mata pintal benang). She said, Whoever could help with my spin, he
would be my husband. No one could help her but the dog.

Activity 16
In Pair, rearrange the story of Malin Kundang into good and meaningful paragraph.
(

Some days later his ship left the harbor. The sea was calm but when he reached
the open sea there was a great storm. The ship was drowned. Malin Kundang and his
money changed into a stone.

One day Malin Kundang told his mother that he would go to town and work there. At
first his mother did not allow him but finally she let him go with tears.

Some years later he sailed to a harbor near his village. When his mother heard
about this news she came to meet him. Malin Kundang pretended not to know her. He
said, You are not my mother. Go away ! His mother became very sad and before she
went she said, Oh, Malin Kundang, you are wicked son. Youll never be safe now. You
and your money will turn to stone.

Now people call it Batu Simalin Kundang. We can see the stone from Air Manis, a
village on the coast of West Sumatra near Padang.

An old woman and her son lived in a little village. Her son was called Malin
Kundang. They were very poor but they loved each other very much.

Malin Kundang worked hard in a big town and in a short time he became a rich
man. However he completely forgot his poor old mother.

CINDERELLA
Once upon a time there was a young girl named Cinderella who lived with, her stepmother and two
stepsisters.
Cinderellas stepmother and stepsisters were conceited and bad tempered. They treated
Cinderella very badly. Her stepmother made Cinderella do the hardest work in the house, such as
scrubbing the floor and cleaning the pots and pans. She gave Cinderella an old ragged dress to wear.
The two stepsisters, on the other hand, did no work about the house, and their mother gave them many
handsome dresses to wear.
One day the two stepsisters received an invitation to a ball that the kings son was going to give
at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so much time choosing the dresses they would
wear. At last the day of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help crying
after they had left.
Why are you crying, Cinderella ? a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy godmother
standing beside her. Because I want so much to go to the ball, said Cinderella. Well, said her
godmother, youve been such a cheerful, uncomplaining, hardworking girl that. I am going to see that you
do go to the ball.
Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and mice into a coachman
and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderellas ragged dress with her wand, and it became a
beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. Now, Cinderella, she said, you
must leave before midnight. Then, away she drove in her beautiful coach.
Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and again with the kings son.
Suddenly, the clock began to strike twelve. She ran towards the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry,
one of her glass slippers came off and was left behind.
A few days later the kings son proclaimed he would marry the girl whose foot fitted the glass
slipper. The kings page came to Cinderellas house. Her stepsisters tried on the slipper but it was too
small for them no mather how hard they squeezed their toes into it. The kings page let Cinderella try on
the slipper. She stuck out her foot, and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.
Finally, she was driven to the palace. The kings son was overjoyed to see her again. They were
married and lived happily ever after.

The Ducks and the Turtle
Two ducks who lived in a big lake had a friend who was a turtle. One year there was a very little rain and
the lake began to dry up. One of the ducks said to the other, Soon therell be no water in this lake .Lets go and
look for another lake. Yes, answered the second duck, but first lets say goodbye to our friend, the turtle,
When they told the turtle they were going to leave, he said, Ill die here without any water and without
any friends. Take me with you. The ducks answered ,We cant. We are going to fly, and you have no wings. The
turtle thought for a minute and then said, Please wait here. Then he went away and found a strong, straight
stick. He brought it back to his friends, put the middle of it in his mouth and said, Now if each of you takes me
one end of the stick in his mouth, you can lift me up and carry me with you.
There is one danger, said the ducks, If you try to talk while were carrying you through the air, you wont be able
to hold the stick, so youll fall down along way and break your shell.
All right, answered the turtle, I promise not to talk while were in the air. So the ducks took the stick and
flew away, with the turtle between them. All went well until the were flying over a town. Then some people saw
them and shouted, Look, those ducks are carrying a cat!
The turtle got very angry, A cat? Im not .he said, but he did not get any further, because when he opened
his mouth, the stick came out of his mouth and the poor turtle fell to the ground.

Tangkuban Perahu
Dayang Sumbi was exiled in the jungle, because she was unmarried but pregnant. She gave a birth to a
baby boy and named him Sang Kuriang. And he became a young and hard working boy. He was a good hunter
too.
One day he went hunting with his dog, Si Tumang. In the bush he saw a pig, Wayungyang. He wanted to
shoot Wayungyang but Si Tumang hindered him. He was angry at it and killed it, and then took its heart home. He
cooked it and ate it with his mother. When he told that it was Si Tumang's heart, she was very angry and hit Sang
Kuriang 's head with a spoon. And he ran away and left his mother to the east. He did not know himself and forgot
his name. He was about 16 years of age.
After a long time Sang Kuriang came back to the jungle where his mother lived. She looked younger than
her age, so Sang Kuriang fell in love with her. "Will you marry me?" one day he asked her. But Dayang Sumbi
refused because she recognized that he was her son. He insisted to marry her and Dayang Sumbi asked him two
marriage settlements . One, he had to dammed Citarum river, and two, had to make a boat in one night.

From Candles to Soap

Abstract: signals

Well, what would you like to do when things go wrong?

What? Commit suicide? Oh, no. Its very stupid, isnt it?

In the 1800s, Procter and Gambles best seller was

Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. Their fears
became reality when the market for candles decreased
since they now sold only for special occasions.

the unusual
incident

The outlook appeared to be bleak for Procter and

Gamble. However, at this time, it seemed that destiny
played a dramatic part in pulling the struggling company
from the clutches of bankruptcy A forgetful employee
at small factory in Cincinnati forgot to turn off his
machine when he went out to lunch. The result? A
frothing mass of lather filled with air bubbles. He almost
threw the stuff a way but decided to make it into soap
instead. The soap floated. This, ivory soap was born and
became the mainstay of the Procter and Gamble
Company. Why was soap that floats became such a hot
item at the time? In Cincinnati, during that period, some
people bathed in the Ohio River. Floating soap would
never sink and consequently never got lost. So, Ivory
soap became a best seller in Ohio and eventually
across the country also.

get married within one year. What a wonderful idea !
To prevent neighbours gossip, we decided to get married three
months later. The wedding ceremony was very simple. At the
wedding, I looked very beautiful among the guests and they said
the bridegroom was very handsome. After the prayer for my
marriage and all the guest wished us a happy life, we kissed our
parents hands. I was really hopeful of future happiness. My
parents asked us to stay with them, and did not allow us to
move anywhere until we could build a house or at least got a
reasonable apartment to rent annually. Since then my husband
worked as a judge in this town.
But you know one may wish, but God decides. Our happiness
did not last long. My husband died in a traffic accident near the
billiard house. Now he is buried in this cemetery alone.
I am very upset and dont know what to do. More over.

English Custom
This anecdote is about two Indians settled in England. One had been living there for some years and had
picked up some of their quaint euphemisms. The other, a recent settler, was as yet unaware of them. They were
invited for dinner by their English friends. After they had had their drinks, their hostess asked them, Would you like a
wash before I serve dinner?.
The knowledgeable one replied, No, Thanks. The new settler replied, I wash my hands before I came..
On their way back after dinner, the older settler admonished his friend, My dear chap, in England Would you
like a wash does not mean Would you like to wash your hands. It is a polite way of asking would you like to
urinate?. The new settler made a mental note of it.
Some days later he was invited by another English friend and after he had his drinks he was asked by his
hostess: Would you like a wash before I serve my dinner?.
He replied promptly, No, thank you, madam. I washed against a tree before coming to your house.
