SOAL-SOAL NARRATIVE

A fox fell into a well and couldn’t get out. By and by a thirsty goat came along. Seeing the fox
in the well it asked if the water was good. “Good”, said the fox. “It’s the best water I’ve tasted
in all my life. Come down and try it yourself. “The goat thought of nothing but how thirsty he
was. So he jumped into the well. When he had drunk enough he looked around but there was
no way to get out. Then the fox said, “I have a good idea. You stand on your hind legs and put
your forelegs against the side of the well. Then I’ll climb on your back, from there I’ll step on
your horns, and I can get out. And when I’m out I’ll help you out of the well.” The goat did as
he was asked and the fox got on his back and so out of the well. Then he coolly walked away.
The goat called out loudly after him out. The fox merely turned to him and said, “If you only
has as much sense in your head as you have hairs in your beard you wouldn’t have jumped into
the well without making sure that you could get out again.

SANGKURIANG

A long time ago, the ancient land of Sunda was ruled by a king and queen who had but a single
daughter. Her name was Dayang Sumbi. She was beautiful and clever but also pampered and
spolited.

One day as she was weaving in her pavilion, she became moody and distracted, which caused
her to keep dropping her shuttle on the floor. Once when it fell she exclaimed she would marry
the one who gave it back to her. At that very moment her dog Tumang, a demigod possessing
magic powers, came up to her with the shuttle in his mouth. Dayang Sumbi had to marry him.

They lived happily together, and Dayang Sumbi gave birth to a baby boy, human in appearance
but endowed with his father’s magic powers. She named him Sangkuriang. As the boy grew
up, he was always guarded by the faithful dog Tumang, whom he knew only as a companion
and not as his father, Sangkuriang became handsome and brave.

One day his mother asked him to go hunting with the dog and bring her venison for a feast.
After hunting all day without success, Sangkuriang worried about facing his mother empty-
handed. Desperate, he took an arrow and shot the dog. He returned home and handed over the
meat to his pleased mother. Soon after the feast, however, Dayang Sumbi questioned her son
about the absence of Tumang. At first he evaded her queries but finally told her what had
happened. She was horrified and struck her son so hard on the temple that he collapsed. For
that, the old king banished his daughter from the court and she was made to roam around the
kingdom. Sangkuriang recovered with a large scar on his temple, and he too left the court to
wander about the world.

Years later, Sangkuriang met a beautiful woman and instantly fell in love with her. It was his
own mother-they did not recognize each other. He pro posed to her and she agreed to marry
him. On the day before the wedding, as she was caressing her fiancee’s hair, Dayang Sumbi
detected the scar on the temple. Horror struck her, for she was about to marry her own son,
Sangkuriang. Without revealing the whole truth to him, she tried unsuccessfully to dissuade
him. Desperate to avoid the marriage, she set conditions she thought impossible to meet.
Sangkuriang had to make a lake that filled the whole valpley and build a boat for the couple to
sail in, all before dawn.

Sangkuriang started to work. His love gave him extraordinary strength, and he used his magic
powers to summon the spirits to help him. With boulders and mud they dammed the river in
the valley and the water rose and began to form a lake. In the early morning hours he chopped
down a huge tree in the forest and began hollowing it out to make a boat. When Dayang Sumbi
saw that he was about to accomplish what she has thought impossible, she called on the gods
to bring the sun up early and thwart Sangkuriang.
 The cock crowed, the sun rose much earlier than usual, and Sangkuriang realized he had been
deceived. In a fit of fury he caused Dayang Sumbi and kicked the half-finished boat back into
the forest. There it lies upside down today, forming the mountain Tangkuban Perahu (Upturned
Boat). Not far away is the stump of the tree Sangkuriang had felled, now called Bukit Tinggi.
The dam Sangkuriang had built caused the valley to become a lake, where both Sangkuriang
and Dayang Sumbi drowned themselves. They were never heard of again.

real princess. So he traveled all over the world to find one, but in every case something was the
matter. There were lots of princess, but he could never quite make out whether they were real
or not. So he came home feeling very unhappy, for really wanted to find a true princess.
One evening a terrible storm came; lightening flashed, thunder rolled, and the rain poured
down in torrents-it was simply awful ! suddenly there was a knock at the city gate, and the old
king went out to answer it.
There was a princess standing outside, but what a sight the rain and the bad weather had
made of her ! The water streamed down her hair and her clothes, and yet she said she was a
real princess.
“It won’t take long to find that out,” thought the old Queen. Without saying anything, she
went into bed chamber, took off all the bedclothes, and places one pea on the bottom boards of
the bed. Then she took twenty mattresses and put them on top of the pea, and after that she put
twenty feather-pillows on top of the mattresses.
That was where the princess was to spend the night.
In the morning they asked her how she had slept.
“Oh, dreadfully! said the princess. “I hardly slept a wink all night. Whatever could have
been in the bed ? I was lying on something so hard that I’m black and blue all over.”
So of course they could see that she was a real princess, since she had felt the pea through
twenty mattresses and twenty feather-pillows. No one but a real princess could have such a
tender skin as that.
So the prince took her for his wife, and they lived happily ever after.

A long time ago, very few people lived in the New Territories. There were only a few
villages. If the people wanted to go from one village to another, they often had to pass
through wild and unsafe forest.

One day, a farmer’s young wife went to the next village to visit her own mother and brother.
She brought along her baby son. When it was time for her to leave, her brother said “ it is
getting dark. Let my son, Ah Tim go with you though the forest.”

So Ah Tim led the way and the young woman followed behind, carrying her baby. When they
were in the forest, suddenly they saw a group of wolves. They began to run to avoid the
danger, but Ah Tim kicked against a stone and fell down. At once the wolves caught him.
The young woman cried to the wolves, “ please eat my own son instead.” Then, she put her
baby son on the ground in front of the wolves and took her nephew away.
Everyone understood that this was because the woman was very good and kind. She had
offered her own son’s life to save her nephew.

They ran back to the house and called for help. All men in the village fetched thick sticks and
went back with her into the forest. When they got there, they saw something very strange.
Instead of eating the woman’s baby the wolves were playing with him.

seat. They just left his brother’s village when it suddenly began to rain. They stopped at the side
of the road and wheeled the bicycle under a shade. It was a hut belonging to Mr Sarkawi’s
neighbour.

The rain did not stop. it even got heavier and heavier. water poured down very hard. Dark clouds
hung heavily in the sky. They started to get tired and worried. ‘This will take a long time, Mrs

The most familiar speleothems (from the Greek word spelaion for the cave and thema for

deposit), the decorative dripstone features found in caves, are stalactites and stalagmites.

Stalactites hang downward from the ceiling of the cave and are formed as drop after drop of

water slowly trickles through crack on the cave roof. Stalagmites grow upward from the floor

of the cave, generally as a result of water dripping from an overhead stalactite. A column forms
when a stalactite and a stalagmite grow until they join. A “curtain” or “drapery” begins
to formon an inclined ceiling when drops of water trickle along a slope.

Natural openings on the surface that lead to caves are called sinkholes. or swallow holes.

Streams sometimes disappear down these holes and flow through the cavern. Rivers may flow

from one mountain to another through a series of caves . Some caverns have sinkholes in their

floors. Water often builds up a rim of dripstone around the edge of the hole. Dripping water

often contains dissolved minerals as well as acid. These minerals too will be deposited; and

they may give rich coloring to the deposits. If minerals in the water change, layers of different
colors may be formed.

Horse owner who plan to breed one or more mares should have a working knowledge of

heredity and know how to care for breeding animals and foals. The number of mares bred that

actually conceive varies from about 40 to 85 percent, with the average running less than 50

percent. Some mares that do conceive fail to produce living foals. This means that, on average,

two mares are kept a whole year to produce one foal, and even then, some foals are
disappointments from the standpoint of quality.

By careful selection, breeders throughout history have developed various kinds of horses with

a wide variety of characteristics to suit many different needs. The Great Horse of the

Middle Ages, for example was bred for size and strength to carry a heavily armored knight.
The massive horses of such breeds are often called “cold blooded.” The Arabs bred lithe dessert
horses that were small and swift. These animal are often referred to as “hot blooded.” Cross-
breeding of hot blooded and cold-blooded horses for certain characteristics produced breeds
ranging from riding horses to draft horses.

The Thoroughbred id considered by many to be high point of elegance and fine selective

breeding. Many person mistakenly apply the name Thoroughbred to any purebred horse. But a

Thoroughbred is a distinct breed of running horses that traces its ancestry through the male line

directly back to three Eastern stallions: the Byerly Turk, the Darley Arabian, and the Godolphin

Barb. For convenience the breeds of horses are often divided into three major groups: (1)
ponies, (2) heavy, or draft horses, and (3) light horses.

We believe the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old. At percent we are forced to look to

other bodies in the solar system for hints as to what the early history of the Earth was like.

Studies of our moon, Mercury, Mars, and the large satelites of Jupiter and Saturn have provided

ample evidence that all these large celestial bodies had formed. This same bombardment must

have affected Earth as well. The lunar record indicates that the rate of impacts decreased to its
present low level about 4 billion years ago. On Earth, subsequent erosion and crustal motions
have obliterated the craters that must have formed during this epoch.
Scientists estimate the Earth’s age by measuring the ratios of various radioactive elements in

rocks. The oldest Earth’s rocks tested thus far are about 3 1/3 billion years old. But no one

knows whether these are oldest rocks on Earth. Tests on rocks form the moon and on meteorites

show that these are about 4.6 billion years old. Scientists believe that this is the true age of the
solar system and probably the true age of the Earth.

The Story of the Smart Parrot

A man in Puerto Rico had a wonderful parrot. There was no another parrot like it.

It was very, very smart. This parrot would say any word-except one. He would not say the
name of the town where he was born. The name of the town was Catano.

The man tried to teach the parrot to say Catano. But the bird would not say the word. At first
the man was very nice, but then he got angry. “You are a stupid bird! Why can’t you say the
word? Sat Catano, or I will kill you!” but the parrot would not say it. Then the man got to so
angry that the shouted over and over, “Say Catano, or I’ll kill you!” but the bird would not
talk.

One day after trying for many hours to make the bird say Catano, the man got very angry. He
picked up the bird and threw him into the chicken house. “You are more stupid than the
chickens. Soon I will eat them, and I will eat you, too.”

In the chicken house there are four old chickens. They were for Sunday’s dinner. The man
put the parrot in the chicken house and left.

The next day the man came back to the chicken house. He opened the door and stopped. He
was very surprised at what he saw!

He saw three dead chickens on the floor. The parrot was screaming at the fourth chicken,
“Say Catano, or I’ll kill you!
