Two Brothers

Long ago, there were two brothers called Akomi and Ombah. They were ambitious and
winning. Akomi, the elder brother, said, "If we become the King's employees, we can
make laws to collect more money from the people. We will become very rich."

They went to see King Aruya. Akomi said, "Your Majesty, let us be your ministers. We
will make good laws. All your subjects will be happy. I am wise and clever. I know
everything."

King Aruya said angrily, "That is not true! Nobody knows everything. For example, do you
know how many stars there are in the sky? Guards! Throw this liar into the river of
crocodiles!"

Ombah's hands trembled. Then he thought to himself, "King Aruya will also punish me if
I say the wrong thing. My brother said he knew everything and his answer was wrong.
So if I say the opposite, my answer will be right." Ombah then said, to King Aruya, "Your
majesty, I know nothing."

King Aruya said, "That is also a lie. Nobody knows nothing, truly! Everybody knows at
least something. For example, you know your father's name, don't you? Guards! Throw
him into the river of crocodiles, too!"

  A.         knew everything

B.         wanted to see the crocodiles
C.         did not know how many stars there were

Mengenai soal job vacancy, umunya lebih mudah dari pada soal un sma application letter namun semua
contoh soal bahasa inggris surat lamaran harusnya mengkaitkan antara 3 pembahasan utama job

kelas 12 kurikulum 2013 ini menjelaskan ketiga pembahasan utama diatas karena keterbatasan alokasi
waktu yang hanya 2 jam pertemuan dalam seminggu. Hal ini berbeda sekali dengan kurikulum

Dear Sally,
Last holiday, my friends and I visited Ponorogo in East Java. Ponorogo is a
small city, but it is very natural and beautiful. We spent the night at a villa in
Jetis. On the first day, we visited Prigi southern beach. We watched the
amazing views of the sea and the white waves. We grilled fish and had “Nasi
Pecel” for lunch. On the second day, we visited “Dongko” mountain resort.
There were a lot of plants, especially clove trees. We camped there for a
night. I love Ponorogo because the people are very friendly and the prices are
cheap.
I’II bring some pictures for you.
Love,
Anna

In many part of the world flood are cause by tropical storms called hurricanes or
typhoons. They bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of the rain, and flooring.
When a flood occurs, the destruction to surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages
and towns are sometimes swept kept away by water pouring swiftly over the land.
Railroad track blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the
pumps were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by
side, they formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed
buckets of water from to hand to be poured on the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a
small village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often
destroyed whole blocks and neighborhoods before being controlied.
