Dear Swastika,
How’s life? Thanks for the letter telling about your holiday activities.
Last Lebaran holiday, my family and I went to the beach. We wanted to
release the baby sea turtles from the Goa Cemara shore.
Goa Cemara is located in Patihan, Gadangsari, Bantul. The walk to the beach
was pretty far, but very shady. It felt like we're in the Twilight movie scene, a
great for photo shoots! We only adopted 5 baby turtles, each turtle cost
10.000 rupiahs. The baby turtles were just hatched. I thought they were cute. I
chose my turtle and named him Timothy. My sister Emma also chose one and
named it Dora. Timothy and friends were very skittish in the box, then right
when we set them in the sand, they immediately got still.
We entered Timothy in the race. We were told by our guide, that before the
race began, we should face the little babies south, so that when they came out
to shore at night, they would remember which way to go. Cool, isn't it? And
the race began. I could see how energetic they were. What I noticed was that
when they hit the water and were pushed back by the waves, the turtles ran
faster, as if knowing what’s ahead of them. They're just about to get swept
away by the ocean. I really hated to watch them leaving. It was my
unforgetable experience with the baby sea turtles.
Best wishes,
Bella

Swans are the largest members of the waterfowl family Anatidae, and are among
the largest flying birds. The largest species, including the mute swan, trumpeter
swan, and whooper swan, can reach length of over 1.5 m (60 inches) and weigh
over 15 kgs (33 pounds). Their wingspans can be almost 3 m (10 ft). Compared
to the closely related geese, they are much larger in size and have proportionally
larger feet and necks. They also have a patch of unfeathered skin between the
eyes and bill in adults. The sexes are alike in plumage, but males are generally
bigger and heavier than females.
The Northern Hemisphere species of swan have pure white plumage but the
Southern Hemisphere species are mixed black and white. The Australian Black
Swan (Cygnus atratus) is completely black except for the white flight feathers on
its wings; the chicks of black swans are light grey in color, and the South
American Black-necked Swan has a black neck.
The legs of swans are normally dark blackish grey color, except for the two South
American species, which have pink legs. Bill color varies: the four subarctic
species have black bills with varying amounts of yellow, and all the others are
patterned red and black. Although most birds generally do not have teeth, swans
are known to be an exception to this, having small jagged 'teeth' as part of their
beaks used for catching and eating fish. The Mute Swan and Black-necked Swan
have a lump at the base of the bill on the upper mandible.

It began one afternoon, when I visited my grandmother for lunch. By
the time I went home, she had booked me a ticket to the neighbouring island
of Lombok for her friend’s funeral. A couple of days later, I found myself
sitting inside a propeller plane for the first time. Anyway, we landed at an
unexpected place. This island has a better airport than the more popular. It
didn’t stop there. The roads were big and clean. I mean seriously. This island
is quiet modern. Oh, I almost forgot to mention. We had hired a private driver
for our entire 3 day trip and he was extremely helpful. Not only is he a good
and fast driver, but he knows his island. Every question my curious dad asked
him, he could answer. It felt like we had Wikipedia as a driver.
What I liked most about Lombok is that it’s not as directed towards
international tourists, but locals, the mindset of the people wasn’t as rough as
of the Balinese. However, I did come across one where a lady tried to sell
cheap batik on a deserted beach for RP200,000 (AUD$20). My granddad
almost bought it out of pity, but my grandma dragged him out of it. As he
turned his back on her, the lady said okay! RP15,000 (AUD$1.50). What a
difference! But eventually, being the kind-hearted person my granddad is, he
bought 5 pieces.
That’s a great experience.

Always Stay Alert
Once upon a time there was a lion that grew so old that he was unable to kill any prey
for his food. So, he said to himself, I must do something to stay my stomach or I will
die of starvation.
He kept thinking and thinking and at last an idea clicked him. He decided to lie down in
the cave pretending to be ill and then who-so-ever will come to inquire about his
health, will become his prey. The old lion put his wicked plan into practice and it
started working. Many of his well-wishers got killed. But evil is short lived.
One day, a fox came to visit the ailing lion. As foxes are clever by nature, the fox stood
at the mouth of the cave and looked about. His sixth sense worked and he came to
know the reality. So, he called out to the lion from outside and said, “How are you,
sir?”
The lion replied, “I am not feeling well at all. But why don’t you come inside?”
