SPRING
In the early part of spring
You will hear, many birds sing
They are just letting, the rest of us know
Winter is over, spring melted the snow

You will notice, a beautiful scene
The trees will slowly, begin to turn green
Chipmunks and bunnies will come out and play,
Bears will no longer, sleep during the day
It’s exciting, when spring finally arrives
Bees will make honey, inside their hives
So much to do, so much to see
Insects and animals are happy and free

                                                                              A Woman and the Wolves
        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.

      It was January 29/30, 1950, that day was the saddest day of Indonesia because one of Indonesia’s best sons was death. Even that day the sky also seemed sad by droving his tears to earth. Who is he? Why is said to be the best son?

     Sudirman was born in a village in central Java on January 24, 1916. He was taken as a foster child by his mother’s brother, a retired district officer who resides in Cilacap. That’s where small Sudirman successfully completed primary school (formerly HIS = Holland Indies School). When he was in HIS, little Sudirman was known as a quiet kid. Not surprisingly, he was loved by his friends.

    After his graduation, then he entered MULO in Cilacap. At that school he became beloved students of Mr. Tri Supeno so that he nationality education from Mr. Tirta a teacher graduated from Military Academy Breda.
