Dear Dave,
I am in Magelang now. Yesterday, I showed Waisak a
Religious Buddhist ceremony. It is annually held at the
Mendut and Borobudur Temples. The birth as well as the death of Buddha Gautama are commemorated. This ceremony starts from Mendut. When the full moon appears, many prayers are held. Buddhists from all over the country even some from overseas attend this ceremony was really interesting.
Lots of Love,
Alicia

THE SHIRT OF A HAPPY MAN
There was once a king who was very powerful and rich. But he was always unhappy, because he felt ill all the time. No doctors knew how to cure him, nor did any medicine do him good. One day he called all his wise men to his palace and asked them what to do. “There is only one way,” said a very old man. “If you can find a happy man, take his shirt and wear it, you will be soon cured.”
So the king sent his men to search for all the happy men. They traveled all over the country, but they could not find one. There was nobody who was completely satisfied. If a man was rich and healthy, he had a bad wife. Everybody had something to complain of.
The men were very tired of their long search, and did not know when to go home. Just as they were worrying about that, they saw a workman who was singing merrily while he was at work.
“Are you happy?” they asked the man.
“Yes, I am as happy as a lark,” answered the man.
“Give us your shirt,” said the men. “We’ll give you as much money as you need.”
“Alas!” cried the man, “I haven’t got a shirt.”
Furry Gliders
Many mammals that live in forested areas spend most of their time in trees. These animals have a number of special body-features that help them move through trees. Monkeys, for example, can use their hands and feet to grasp tree-branches. Many monkeys of Central America and South America also have prehensile (grasping) tails, which they can wrap around branches for support. Other mammals with prehensile tails include kinkalous, opossums and phalangers. Some species of ant-eaters, pangolins and South American porcupines also have sharp curved claws that aid them in climbing trees. The claws of tree sloth are so long and curved that the animal cannot walk erect on the ground. These mammals spend most of their life hanging upside-down from branches.

KRAKATAU
Krakatau is one of the volcanoes of Sunda volcanic. The volcano is formed by the subduction of the Indian-Australian plate under the Eurasian plate.
Krakatau is located in the Sunda strait, 40 kilometers of the west coast of Java on the island of Rakata in Indonesia. The geographical coordinates of Krakatau are 16.7 south latitude and 105.4 east longitude.
At its peak, Krakatau reached a height of 790 m (2.600 ft) above sea level. Its first known eruption occurred in 416 A.D. However this eruption destroyed the volcano of Krakatau which collapsed and formed a four-mile wide caldera. The islands of Verlaten and Lang are remnants of this older volcano. Subsequently three volcanoes combined to form the island of Krakatau.
Last week my parents, my brother and I went to the zoo. We went there for recreation. We left at 6.00a.m and arrived there at 8.00 a.m. It is about a hundred kilometers to go the zoo from my house.
There were a lot of people watching a giant snake. The snake is there for about a week. It is 9 meters long. I thought it is the biggest snake I had ever seen. After going around and watching various animals, we went home. On the way home we stopped at the Borobudur temple for half an hour.

Once upon the time, on summer day, there was a little bee named Bee Peep. He lived with his parents on a tree. One day Bee Peep had a walk alone. He walked here and there while singing. Suddenly he stopped walking and realized that he didn’t know where he was. He was confused and didn’t know what to do. Luckily there was a grasshopper who would take little Bee Peep home. He advised him not to go far away from house. Little Bee Peep was so thankful to him.
SUPERMARKETS
Some supermarkets are enormous these days.
Supermarkets come with aisles of different kinds of food and products. For examples, you can find fifteen to twenty different brands of toilet tissue in the paper products section. The frozen food section has everything from cans of frozen apple juice to bags of mixed vegetables and frozen pizza.
Many supermarkets also have big health care products aisle. This section is like a small drugstore, with different brands of medicine, shampoos, toothpastes, and other health care items.
Some supermarkets even sell something else, such as magazines, books, underwear, gardening tools, and other household products. Here you can also use your card in money machines to take money out of your bank.
Shoppers in many supermarkets can buy snacks and cold drinks from vending machines. In some places, tire and hungry shoppers can sit down and enjoy a fresh cup of coffee and a donut at a supermarket snack bar or coffee shop. Supermarkets with their variety of products and services are more popular today.
