we took a small machined boat, called pompong. We just had to pay six thousand rupiahs for each

‘GurindamDuaBelas’ crafted on the wall of his tomb.
Our next stop was the ruins of Penyengat Palace, the traditional house of Penyengat, and the
last stop was the old mosque of Penyengat. This mosque was built in 1803 and it was said that
people used eggs to build this beautiful mosque. Inside the mosque, we saw many ancient things,

ECLIPSES OF THE SUN
An eclipse of the Sun is also called a solar eclipse.The Moon orbits, or goes around, the Earth.
As the Moonorbits, it sometimes gets directly between the Earth andthe Sun. When this happens,
the Moon casts its shadowon Earth. The Moon’s shadow covers only a small part of Earth, not
the entire planet. You can see the eclipse onlyif you happen to be in the part of Earth that gets
covered.There are three kinds of solar eclipses. Sometimes, theMoon appears to block out the
whole Sun. This is calleda total solar eclipse. A bright ring, or halo, appears aroundthe dark disk
of the Moon during a total solar eclipse. TheSun’s corona—the glowing hot gases that surround
the Sun—produces this halo.The Moon is not always the same distance from the Earth, because
its orbit is not a perfectcircle. Sometimes, an eclipse happens while the Moon is farther away from
the Earth than usual.
The faraway Moon looks small. It casts a smaller shadow on the Earth that blocks out only the
center of the Sun. This is called an annular solar eclipse.
Sometimes, the Moon covers only part of the Sun. This is called a partial solar eclipse. The Moon’s
disk slides across the bottom or top part of the Sun. It never covers the whole Sun.
Partial solar eclipses are more common than total or annular solar eclipses.
It is very dangerous to look at the Sun, even during an eclipse. Looking at the bright light of the
Sun can injure your eyes.

Grasshoppers are insects that can hop, walk and fly. Many male grasshoppers make noise by rubbing
their back legs together. There are about 10,000 different species of grasshoppers. Grasshoppers
undergo simple (or incomplete) metamorphosis; eggs hatch into nymphs, which look like little adults
without wings and reproductive organs. Nymphs molt many times as they grow to be adults.
Like all insects, the grasshoppers have a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), six
jointed legs, two pairs of wings and two antennae. Their bodies are covered with a hard exoskeleton.
Grasshoppers breathe through a series of holes called spiracles; they are located along the sides
of the body. Most grasshoppers are green, brown, or olive-green.
The biggest ones are about 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) long. The long hind legs are used for hopping.
The short front legs are used to hold prey and to walk. Grasshoppers eat plants. Their predators
include birds, beetles, rodents, reptiles and spiders. Some flies also eat grasshopper eggs.
