Derr Naialr.
Hello Najah. How are you? I hope you are okay. How was your holiday? Did you enjoy
it? I enjoyed mine very much.
I would like to tell you about my unforgettable experience. Last school holiday, my
family and I went to Mount Bromo. Have you been there? It was so beautiful.
We went by car. We reached Cemoro Lawang in the evening and rested in an inn. We
decided to see the sunrise the next moming. Seeing the sunrise from the peak of a
mountain is a new experience for me.
Early in the morning, we rode on horses up to the mountain but some other people
preferred jeep to horse. The weather was very cold and the fog was thick. We crossed a
vast black dessert. The dessert is about ten kilometers wide and we walked toward the
peak at 5.00. AM. and saw the sunrise. It was fantastic.
That's all tbr now. Write to me soon. Okay?
l,ove.

A long time ago. there was an orchard which was owned by a rich couple 4nd

couple's generosity. She came to the orchard, dressed as a poor, old woman and
begged for the couple to give her a few fruits since she was very hungry. The selfish
couple let their dogs loose on her. The old woman was bitten by the dogs and badly
injured. She touched the giant tamarind tree and cursed, "Your greed shall be
punished". As the woman walked away, the sky darkened and a ferocious storm broke
out. The downpour continued until late at night. The next morning, the sky was clear
