He said to himself: If I give them one after another of my golden feathers, the mother can sell them, and with the money she and her daughters can then live in comfort. So the goose fl ew to the poor womans house. When the woman saw the goose, she said: Why have you come here? We have nothing to give you. But I have something to give you, said the goose. I will give you my feathers, one by one, and you can sell them for enough money so that you and your daughters can live in comfort. And the goose gave her one of his feathers and then flew away. From time to time he came back, and each time left another feather. The mother and her daughters sold the beautiful feathers for enough money to keep them in comfort. But one day the mother said to her daughters: Let us not trust this goose. Some day he may fl y away and never come back. Then we would be poor again. Let us get all of his feathers the very next time he comes. The daughters said: That will hurt the goose. We will not do such a thing. But the mother was greedy. The next time the golden goose came, she took hold of him with both hands, and began to pull out his feathers. But if a golden gooses feathers are plucked out against his wishes, they no longer remain golden, but turn white and are of no more value than chicken-feathers. The new ones that grow are not golden but plain white. As time went on his feathers grew again, and he flew away to his home and never came back. And as the woman had feared the family was poor again. Goose angsa greedy serakah Pity kasihan plain polos 23.

Well, I get my best marks for biology and maths. Theyre not my favourite subjects, though. I like sport and art best especially drawing but my marks are only average. Im not very good at foreign languages, and my marks are usually bad. Grammar is such a problem. I always look for a logic that isnt there. I suppose I have more of a scientific mind. When I finish school, I think Ill train to be an architect because you need maths and drawing for that. Love, Nancy

Among the favourite shopping items are batik cloth, baskets, bamboo articles and krises (small daggers). Bali is a great place to buy souvenirs. There are hundreds of different stalls along the streets. However, although there is a fantastic choice of goods there, it may not be the cheapest place to shop. Prices are often extremely high, and you might have to bargain. If you want to buy traditional arts and crafts at much cheaper prices, you should go to the smaller, more isolated towns in the archipelago. Markets and shops in these areas will probably sell locally made items. Along with these more traditional street stalls, there are large shopping malls in some of the bigger cities. Prices here are normally fi xed and there is no bargaining. 6. Bali is a good place for shopping because A. you can bargain. C. of the cheap street stalls. B. of the prices. D. of the wide choice. 7.

Th ere he prayed to his god for a child. A few months later, the queen was expecting a baby, and all the people in the kingdom were happy. Prabu and the queen loved their little daughter and gave her everything. Th is made the princess a very spoiled girl. If she didnt get what she wanted, she became very angry. But even though the princess behaved badly, her parents loved her, and so did the people in the kingdom. Day by day, the princess grew more beautiful. When she was 17, her parents invited all the people in the kingdom to a party. Prabu took their gift s of gold and bright jewels and had a beautiful necklace made for his daughter.
