 The Bear and The Two Friends

Once two friends were walking through the forest. They knew that anything dangerous can
happen to them at any time in the forest. So they promised each other that they would remain united
in any case of danger.

Suddenly, they saw a large bear approaching them. One of the friends at once climbed a nearby
tree. But the other one did not know how to climb. So being led by his common sense, he lay down on
the ground breathless, pretending to be a dead man.
The bear came near the man lying on the ground. It smelt in his ears, and slowly left the place.
Because the bears do not touch the dead creatures.Now the friend on the tree came down and asked
his friend on the ground, “Friend, what did the bear tell you into your ears?” The other friend replied,
“The bear advised me not to believe a false friend.”

crocodile to take him across the other side of the river. The crocodile agree and told the monkey to
jump on its back. Then the crocodile swam down the river with the monkey on his top.
Unluckily, the crocodile was very hungry, he stopped in the middle of the river and said to the
monkey, “My father is very sick. He has to eat the heart of the monkey. So he will be healthy again.”
At the time, the monkey was in dangerous situation and he had to think hard. Then he had a good
idea. He told the crocodile to swim back to the river bank. “What’s for?” asked the crocodile.
“Because I don’t bring my heart,” said the monkey. “I left it under a tree, near some coconuts in the
river bank.”
The crocodile agreed and turned around. He swam back to the bank of the river. As soon as they
reached the river bank, the monkey jumped off the crocodile’s back. Then he climbed up to the top of
a tree.
“Where is your heart?” asked the crocodile. “You are foolish,” said the monkey to the crocodile.
“Now I am free and I have my heart.”

 THE LEGEND OF SURABAYA

A long time ago in East Java there were two strong animals, Sura and Baya. Sura was a shark and
Baya was a crocodile. They lived in the sea. Actually, they were friends. But when they were hungry,
they were very greedy. They did not want to share their food. They would fight for it and never stop
fighting until one of them gave up.

It was a very hot day. Sura and Baya were looking for some food. Suddenly, Baya saw a goat.

“Yummy, this is my lunch,” said Baya.“No way! This is my lunch. You are greedy! I had not eaten
for two days!” said Sura. Then Sura and Baya fought again. After several hours, they were very tired.
Sura had a plan to stop their bad behavior.

“I’m tired of fighting, Baya,” said Sura. “Me too. What should we do to stop fighting? Do you have
any idea?” asked Baya.“Yes, I do. Let’s share our territory. I live in the water, so I look for food in the
sea. And you live on the land, right? So, you look for the food also on the land. The border is the
beach, so we will never meet again. Do you agree?” asked Sura.
“Hmm... let me think about it. OK, I agree. From today, I will never go to the sea again. My place is
on the land,” said Baya.

Then they both lived in the different places. But one day, Sura went to the land and looked for some
food in the river. He was very hungry and there was not much food in the sea. Baya was very angry
when he knew that Sura broke the promise.

“Hey, what are you doing here? This is my place. Your place is in the sea!”
“But, there is water in the river, right? So, this is also my place!” said Sura.

Then Sura and Baya fought again. They both hit each other. Sura bite Baya's tail. Baya did the same
thing to Sura. He bit very hard until Sura finally gave up. He went back to the sea. Baya was very
happy. He had his place again.
The place where they were fighting was a mess. Blood was everywhere. People then always talked
about the fight between Sura and Baya. They then named the place of the fight as Surabaya, it’s from
Sura the shark and Baya the crocodile. People also put their war as the symbol of Surabaya city.
