The old man had nothing to eat now, so he turned to be a beggar. He went to a nearby village trying to get some food. At first, the villages were happy to help him. However, when he came continually, they refused to give him food anymore. They told him to grow his own food.

One day, while the hermit was sitting in his hut, sad and hungry, he began to think about growing his own food. Just then, a boatman stopped by. The boatman took pity on the hermit and gave him some padi seeds.

The government should be more serious

Sometimes when I pass some places in Jakarta. Often see piles of trash by the side of the street or even by the river. This view is annoying. It makes our city look ugly and very dirty. If we walk near the pile of trash, we could smell sticky odors coming from it.

Piles of trash bring the bacteria with them. Isn’t that very dangerous to our health if flies land on our food?

However, many people live around this mountain like heap of trash. Many children play nearby. Also, a lot of woman washes clothes and fruits and vegetables in the river which is contaminated by trash. This is terrible. I think they don’t realize the danger, because they don’t have knowledge about healthy living.

In y opinion, the government must take a regulation that pr people who throw trash on the ground or prohibits people to build houses near the trash deposal (dump site). Also, there should be special officers, like police officers, who watch and catch people who throw trash on the ground or into he rivers. Moreover, if a big fine doesn’t make people stop dropping litter carelessly, the government should put them in jail as a punishment.

Finally, I think the efforts to keep our environment clean and tidy need hard work from both the citizens and the government.
