PAKET 3

Read the text and answer questions 1 to 5.

It was early in the morning we left Ubud and travelled to Gili Air which is one
of three islands of Lombok. It took 4 hours in total by boat. The travelling was not bad
but it was a hot day. I said to Jane on the slow boat " It`s alright babe, it won`t be so
hot and stuffy once we get moving.
When we got to Gili Air it was still quite so we were able to get a bungalow
near the beach for about $ 15 a night plus breakfast. We shared our room with quite a
number of geckos. Some of them were quite large ones.
The weather was still hot when I went diving. Jane waited for me at the
seashore. She observed some fishermen who had just caught some fish. She did not
want to dive because she had a trauma with sea animals. We had three days here
which we spent walking around the island which takes about an hour. Every night, we
sat on the couches near the beach and watched the waves and the stars.
It was a fantastic journey that I ever had.

the market. After a little while he was tired and they rested under a
tree.
When he woke up from his nap he could not see the donkey and
started searching for the donkey everywhere. On the way he met a
boy, he asked the boy, Have you seen my donkey? The boy asked,
Is the donkeys left eye blind, his right foot lame and is he carrying a
load of wheat? The man was happy and said, Yes, exactly! Where
have you seen it? the boy answered I havent seen it. This made the
man very angry and he took the boy to the village chief for
punishment.
The judge asked, Dear boy, if you had not seen at the donkey, how
could you describe it? The boy answered, I saw the tracks of a
donkey and the right and left tracks were different from this I
understood that the donkey that passed there was limping. And the
grass on the right side of the road was eaten but the grass on the left
was not. From that I understood that his left eye was blind. There were
wheat seeds scattered on the ground and I understood that he must
have been carrying a load of wheat. The judge understood the boys
cleverness and told the man to forgive the boy.
