Once upon a time in a village in Ciamis, West Java lived a couple of elderly husband and
wife. The elderly husband was called Aki and the elderly wife was called Nini. They had two sons
and one daughter. Their sons lived across the ocean and their daughter lived in another place far
away from Aki and Nini.
Every full moon, their two sons visited Aki and Nini. But their daughter never did. Aki and
Nini missed their daughter. Two days before the full moon, Aki told Nini that he wanted to visit their
daughter. Nini wanted to come along, but Aki refused. “You should stay home and wait for our two
sons,” said Aki to Nini. Aki promised that he would return right at full moon. Nini was sad when Aki
left the village on a boat with other passengers. She looked at the boat as it sailed away on the
ocean. She imagined meeting her daughter, together with Aki.
On the day Aki promised to return, Nini dressed up and went to the beach, to wait for the
boat to return. She couldn’t wait to meet her husband. Hours passed by. Days passed by. Nini still
sat on the beach, waiting for her husband. The boat was never seen. But Nini kept waiting on the
beach. Several days later, the people of the village heard that the boat sank into the ocean. They
quickly went to Nini’s house to tell her about the bad news. But she was not there. Then they looked
for her at the beach. Nobody was there either. Only the wind and the sand.
They kept searching for Nini, calling her name. Finally they found a rock that looked like an
old woman sitting down on the beach. They believed it was Nini, who was sitting down on the
beach, waiting for her husband, Aki, to return.
The rock symbolizes a wife’s faithfulness to her husband. The beach is then called Pantai
Karang Nini. Which means the beach’s of Nini’s rock.

Last holiday, I and my cousin decided to see my new friend in Jakarta. We went there by
tram. It was my first trip on a tram.
When we arrived at the rail way station in Cibitung, We bought two tickets then we waited for
the tram. After sometime, the tram arrived. It was very crowded. We got on among the people. The
tram began to move and ran along the way.
On the tram I questioned myself how would the conductor check the tickets in such a
crowded compartment. And when I got off in Jakarta station, no conductors did it. I felt tired of
keeping the tickets on my hand. So I threw them somewhere.
When we wanted to get out the station, a guard stopped us at the gate to check our tickets.
“Oh my God, I have thrown them away.” I said. To avoid having a quarrel, we bought two other
tickets for an exit.

50. Why did the writer throw the tickets somewhere?
