LEGEND OF PENYUSUK

Once upon a time, there were a king and has queen who lived in the kingdom of Belinyu. They
didin’t have any child. Until one night, the queen had a dream of a turtle. It said that the queen
would have a baby , and she was holding a Komala necklace in her hand. She told her dream to
king, and he was very hapy.
Shortly, the quen’s dream became reality, she delivered a beautiful baby girl. The king named

One day, komala heard her parents were talking about the turtle in her mothers dream. She
tought that the turtle was very interesting animal, so she wanted as her pet. She insisted to find it
and the king allowed her to look for animal.
Accompanied with the king’s guards, Komala searched the turtle and fnally, she found it in a
beach. She shouted to do it. “ Penyu busuk wait for me” in several time, but the turtle kept
swimming. Komala rain after it into the sea, she tried to catch it. Until the she finally drowned
and disappeared, and all of the her guards could not save her. Now, people call the beach,
penyusuk.

ahulu kalah, ada seorang raja dan ratu yang tinggal di kerajaan Belinyu. Mereka tidak punya
anak. Sampai suatu malam, sang ratu bermimpi seekor kura-kura. Dia berkata bahwa sang ratu
akan memiliki anak, dan dia harus memberi kalung komala kepada anaknya. Sang ratu bangun
dan dia sedang memegang seuntai kalung komala di tangannya. Dia menceritakan mimpinya
pada sang raja dan sang raja sangat bahagia.

Tak lama kemudian, mimpi sang ratu menjadi kenyataan; dia melahirkan seorang bayi
perempuan yang cantik. Sang raja menamainya, Komala. Dia tumbuh menjadi wanita yang
cantik; tetapi, dia punya kebiasaan buruk karena orang tuanya yang terlalu memanjakannya.

Suatu hari, Komala mendengar orang tuanya sedang berbicara tentang kura-kura di dalam mimpi
ibu nya. Dia berfikir bahwa kura-kura adalah hewan yang sangat menarik, jadi dia ingin
memilikinya sebagai hewan peliharaan. Dia memaksa untuk menemukannya, dan sang raja
membiarkannya untuk mencari hewan tersebut.

Ditemani oleh penjaga raja, Komala mencari kura-kura dan akhirnya dia menemukannya di
pantai.
Dia berteriak pada kura-kura, “Penyu busuk, tunggu aku,” beberapa kali.

Akan tetapi kura-kura tetap berenang. Komala berlari mengejarnya menuju ke lautan, dia
mencoba menangkapnya. Sampai kemudian dia tenggelam dan menghilang, dan semua
penjaganya tidak dapat menyelamatkannya.
Sekarang, orang-orang memanggil pantai itu, Penyusuk (Penyu Busuk)

terjemahannya. The Magic Paint Brush

Once upon a time, there was a young man called Ma Liang. He was poor and kind and
liked drawing so much that he drew pictures everywhere. One night, he dreamed that an
old man gave him a magic paintbrush and asked him to use it to help poor people. When he
woke up, he found the magic paintbrush on his desk.

Pada jaman dahulu, ada seorang pemuda yang bernama Ma Liang. Dia adalah miskin dan baik
dan sangat suka menggambar sehingga dia menggambar gambar dimana saja. Suatu malam, dia
memimpikan bahwa seorang tua memberinya sebuah kuas ajaib dan meminta dirinya untuk
menggunakannya membantu orang orang miskin. Ketika dia terbangun, dia menemukan kuas
ajaib itu di mejanya.

From that day on, he used the paintbrush whenever poor people needed help. When he saw
that people had no water to use in the fields, he drew a river and the river came to life.
People could bring water from the river to the field to help their crops grow. When he saw
the hard working farmers struggling to feed their families, he drew more food for them to
eat. Soon many people knew about the magic paintbrush and were very grateful to Ma
Liang.

Dari hari itu, dia menggunakan kuas ajaib itu kapanpun orang orang miskin membutuhkan
bantuan. Ketia dia melihat orang orang tersebut tidak mempuyai air untuk mengairi sawah, dia
menggambar sebuah sungai dan sungai tersebut menjadi kenyataan. Orang orang mengambil
air dari sungai untuk mengairi ladang untuk membuat tanamannya tumbuh. Ketika dia melihat
seorang petani bekerja keras member nafkah ke keluarganya, dia menggambar banyak makanan
untuk mereka makan. Dengan segera banyak orang mengetahui tentang kuas ajaib tersebut dan
sangat berterimakasih kepada Ma Liang.
But in the village, there lived a rich man who was mean and decided to steal the paint
brush from the young man so that he could use it to become even richer. So he sent his
servants to Ma Liang's home to steal the magic paintbrush.

Akan tetapi di desa tersebut, hiduplah seorang kaya yang sangat iri dan memutuskan untuk
mencuri kuas ajaib tersebut dari pemuda tersebut sehingga dia dapat menggunakannya untuk
menjadi semakin kaya. Sehingga dia mengutus pelayannya ke rumah Ma Liang untuk mencuri
Kuas ajaib tersebut.

Once he had the paintbrush, he felt very happy and he invited his friends to come to his
home so that he could show them his new possession. He drew a lot of pictures, but none of
them would come to life for him. He was very angry that the paintbrush would not work
for him so he sent for Ma Liang. vKetika dia telah mempunyai kuas ajaib tersebut, dia sangat
senang dan mengundag teman temannya untuk datang ke rumahnya sehingga dia dapat
menunjukkannya ke teman temannya. Dia menggambar beberapa gambar, akan tetapi tidak
satupun menjadi nyata untuknya. Da sangat marah karena kuas sakti itu tidak akan bekerja
untuknya sehiga dia mengutus seseorang untuk menemui Ma Liang.

He said to the young man "If you draw some pictures for me and bring them to life, I will
set you free." Ma Liang did not want to help such a bad man, but he had an idea. He said
to the bad man, "What would you like me to draw?"

Dia mengatakan ke pemuda tersebut “ jika kamu menggambar beberapa gambar untukku dan
menghidupkannya, aku akan melepaskanmu.” Ma Liang tidak ingin membantu orang jahat ini,
akan tetapi dia mempuyai sebuah ide. Dia mengatakan kepada orang jahat tersebut.,” apa kamu
inginkan untuk ku gambar?”

The rich man said, "I want a golden mountain. I will go there to gather gold." But the
young man drew a sea first. The rich man was angry and said," Why did you draw a sea? I
want a golden mountain. Draw it quickly!"

Si orang kaya tersebut mengatakan, “ saya ingin sebuah gunung emas. Saya akan pergi kesana
dan mengumpulkan emas.” Akan teatpi si pemuda tersebut pertama tama menggambar sebuah
samudera. Si orang kaya tersebut marah dan mengatakan “ mengapa kamu menggambar
samudera? Saya ingin sebuah gunung emas. Gambarlah dengan cepat!”

So the young man drew a golden mountain which was far away from the sea. The rich man
said, "Draw a big ship quickly. I want to go there to gather gold." The young man smiled
quietly and drew a big ship. The rich man jumped into the ship and set off to find the gold
but when the ship sailed to the middle of the sea, Ma Liang drew a large wave which
destroyed the ship and the rich man was never seen in the village again.

Sehingga si Pemuda tersebut menggambar sebuah Gunung emas yag jauh dari lautan. Si Orang
kaya tersebut mengataka, “ gambarlah sebuah kapal besar cepat. Saa akan pergi
mengumpulkan emas. Si orang kaya tersebut naik ke dalam kapal dan berangkat mencari emas
akan tetapi ketika kapal berlayar di tengah samudera, Ma Liang menggambar sebuah
gelombang besar yang merusak kapal dan si orang Kaya tidak pernah terlihat lagi di desa.

After that, the young man lived with his family happily and used the magic paintbrush to
help the poor people as the the old man had asked him to do and the magic paintbrush was
known and loved by everyone.

Setelah itu, si Pemuda tersebut hidup dengan keluarganya dengan bahagia dan menggunakan
kuas ajaibnya untuk membantu orang miskin seperti yag diperintahkan dan kuas ajaib tersebut
terkenal dan dicintai banyak orang.

 NARRATIVE FAIRY TALE FOLKLORE FROM SULASWESI

Folklore From Central Sulawesi

The following is a collection of Indonesian folklore, folktales, fairy tales, and legends that exist
among the people of Central Sulawesi Province.

Central Sulawesi has its capital in the city of Palu and is located in the central part of the island
of Sulawesi, bordering the Provinces of Southeast Sulawesi, West Sulawesi and the Provinces of
Gorontalo.

Stories are collected from various sources (see references). If there is a new story, it will be
added soon. Hope it will be useful.

2. The Origin of the Mermaid Fish

It is said that long ago in the Sulawesi area, there lived a husband and wife with three children.
In meeting their daily needs, they earn a living by fishing in the sea. They also grow vegetables
in the fields. Before his father went to the fields, they used to have breakfast together.

1. Tadulako Bulili
Tadulako Bulili is a folk tale from the Central Sulawesi region. Tells the story of the courage and
powers of a warlord in a village in Central Sulawesi, called the village of Bulili. They are
Bantaili, Makeku and Molove. Tadulako in the regional language of Central Sulawesi means
warlord. Tadulako's job is to keep the village safe from enemy attacks.
Problem Which Came First the Cockroach or the Dragonfly

When I visited the Bug Zoo in Victoria, British Columbia, the entomologist who was conducting
tours, picked up the largest live cockroach that I had ever seen and mentioned that the cockroach
is one of the oldest insects, dating back to the pre-dinosaur era.  This triggered a new thought, so
I asked her which insect goes back further in origin, the cockroach or the dragonfly.  She thought
first and then replied:  “That is a very good question.  I don’t know.

From fossil records, it is known that dragonflies predate the dinosaurs, as do cockroaches.
Apparently, which insect came first was an unsolved problem during the summer of 2013 when I
asked the entomologist at the Bug Zoo.

This problem, however, was solved more than a year later in the November 7th 2014 issue of the
journal Science, a top scientific journal, when an article appeared on the origin of all insect
groups that had just been worked out using the science of phylogenomics. This article, titled:
“Phylogenomics resolves the timing and pattern of insect evolution” was published by a team of
international contributors, consisting of 101 scientists!  Included in this groundbreaking
publication was a comprehensive chart of insect origins, that is: for insects that are still alive
today. 

Yes, we now have the answer to: which came first the cockroach or the dragonfly?  It was the
dragonfly!  Dinosaurs first appeared 231.4 million years ago during the Triassic Period, and the
Jurassic Period – of movie fame – with the largest dinosaurs came about 32 million years after
that. It is astonishing that dragonflies appeared about 350 million years ago, during the
Carboniferous Period, and they are still here. Not only does the mighty dragonfly even predate
the cockroach, but the damselfly/dragonfly group, consisting of superb fliers, is older than any
other insect group alive today except for four primitive species that crawl through debris,
consisting of: Protura (nicknamed coneheads), springtales (Collembola); Diplura (two-pronged
bristletales) and silverfish.

Dragonflies have fascinated me since I first saw them as a little child. I later learned that
dragonflies are possibly the best fliers on this planet and can hover at a fixed point in the air for
extended periods of time and can fly up, down, forward, and backward faster than any other
flying insect. They apparently have the best vision of any insect, and with their big eyes they can
see you even after they fly past you. Also, they really know how to survive. When I observed a
dragonfly examining an area of terrain by flying to different vantage points and observing, I
named my book on problem solving: Dragonfly Thinking; since viewing a problem from
different vantage points is a technique that I use, as does the dragonfly. Clearly, the dragonfly
used it first, probably for food-seeking, mate seeking, and whatever else.

It was only shortly after my book was published in 2013 that I learned a new fact about the
Dragonfly. It is the most successful predator on the planet earth, and a group of scientists had
just figured out exactly how the dragonfly achieves a greater than 95% predatory success rate, as
compared to the deadly shark’s greater than 50% success rate and that of the lion, the king of
beasts, which has a comparably meager 25% success rate. So I ended up writing a blog about
this. Apparently, these scientists discovered that the dragonfly, an incredible flyer and observer
with a tiny brain, has some mental abilities that only large-brained animals, such as humans and
other primates have. See “Solving the Problem of Nature’s Drone”:

There are very few insects that people like. Cockroaches are certainly not in this group, but
butterflies, ladybugs, and dragonflies are. I find it fascinating that dragonflies predate all three of
those insects. When dragonfly ancestors first flew on the planet Earth, the oxygen content was
about 35%, as compared to 21% today, and dragonflies in the Carboniferous Period had
wingspans of about 2.5 feet. Today, there are more than 550 dragonfly species, and the largest
dragonfly has about an 8-inch wingspan. Yes, dragonflies are smaller now, but they are still here
and have seemingly solved countless problems that they may have encountered over hundreds of
millions of years. Unlike the dinosaurs and many other lifeforms, they have managed to adapt
and to survive. This reminds me of a quote:

‘It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most
responsive to change.’ By Charles Darwin, originator of the theory of evolution.
 LOBSTER

lobsters comprise a family of large marine crustaceans.lobster is belongs to sea food. it has thick bones
for protect them selves. it usually lives in sea. it has  special characters. the example is Clawed lobsters
comprise a family of large marine crustaceans. They have long bodies with muscular tails, and live in
crevices or burrows on the sea floor.

lawed lobsters comprise a family (Nephropidae, sometimes also Homaridae) of large

marine crushtaceanes. They have long bodies with muscular tails, and live in crevices or burrows on the
sea floor. Three of their five pairs of legs have claws, including the first pair, which are usually much
larger than the others. Highly prized as seafood, lobsters are economically important, and are often one
of the most profitable commodities in coastal areas they populate.

SPIDER

Spiders are eight-legged carnivorous arthropods. In certain situation, they can also be a cannibal.
Their main prey are insects. There are more than 45.000 species of spiders existed in the world
and they occupy every continent except Antarctica. Some species of spiders are considered to be
dangerous for their venomous bite.

Spiders have two body parts. The front part is called cephalothorax or prosoma. This part consist
of head and thorax (chest). The back part is called the abdomen or opisthosoma. These two part
is connected by a very thin joint called as pedicle or pedicellus. The legs is attached on the front
part (cephalothorax). Their eyes are also located on this body part. Each species of spiders have
different number of eyes. Some of them have a pair of eyes and some others have four pair of
eyes. Some spiders have large fangs called as chelicera, which help them to inject their venom to
their enemy. Spiders do not have mouth or teeth to chew the food, but they have a body part that
allow them to suck liquid from the body of their enemy. They have a gland called as “the
spinneret” which allow them to produce sticky webs. They can use this sticky webs to trap the
prey.

SPIDER

Laba-laba adalah arthropoda (hewan berbuku-buku) pemakan daging berkaki delapan. Dalam
situasi tertentu, mereka juga bisa menjadi kanibal. Mangsa utama mereka adalah serangga.
Terdapat lebih dari 45.000 spesies Laba-laba yang ada di dunia ini dan mereka menempati setiap
benua kecuali Antartika. Beberapa spesies Laba-laba dianggap berbahaya karena gigitan beracun
mereka.

Laba-laba memiliki dua bagian tubuh. Bagian depan disebut cephalothorax atau prosoma.
Bagian ini terdiri dari kepala dan dada. Bagian belakang disebut abdomen atau opisthosoma.
Kedua bagian ini dihubungkan dengan sambungan yang sangat tipis yang disebut dengan pedicle
atau pedicellus. Kaki kaki nya melekat di bagian depan (cephalothorax). Mata mereka juga
terletak di bagian tubuh yang ini. Masing masing spesies Laba-laba memiliki jumlah mata yang
berbeda beda. Beberapa diantara mereka memiliki sepasang mata dan sebagian yang lainnya
memiliki empat pasang mata. Sebagian Laba-laba memiliki taring yang besar yang disebut
dengan chelicera, yang membantu mereka untuk menyuntikkan racun mereka pada musuhnya.
Laba-laba tidak memiliki mulut ataupun gigi untuk mengunyah makanan, namun mereka
memiliki bagian tubuh yang memungkinkan mereka untuk menyedot cairan dari tubuh musuh
nya. Mereka memiliki kelenjar yang disebut dengan “the spinneret” yang memungkinkan mereka
untuk menghasilkan jaring yang lengket. Mereka bisa menggunakan jaring yang lengket ini
untuk memerangkap mangsa nya.
 TIGER
Tiger is considered to be the largest cat in the world. The scientific name of tiger is Panthera
tigris. They are carnivorous mammals. Nowadays, tigers are in the list of endangered animals
created by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). It is recorded that the
global population of tiger in the wild is about 3,062 to 3,948 individuals (the number has
dropped around 100,000 compared to the beginning of the 20th century).

Tigers have four leg and a very long tail. They have some retractable sharp claws in their paws.
They also have a muscular body. There are a mane-like fur around their neck and jaws. The most
typical part of their body is their skin. They have a very unique dark vertical stripes pattern on
their skin which make them easy to recognize even when they were still a baby. Most tigers have
orange fur, but there are also golden and white tigers with golden and white fur. Most tigers can
live up to 20 years or more. A full grown tiger can run at 49 to 65 km/h. Adult male tigers can
reach 310 kg in weight while the adult female tigers can reach 170 kg.

Harimau dianggap sebagai kucing terbesar di dunia. Nama ilmiah dari harimau adalah Panthera
tigris. Mereka adalah mamalia pemakan daging. Saat ini, harimau ada dalam daftar hewan yang
terancam punah yang dibuat oleh International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
Dicatat bahwa populasi harimau di seluruh dunia adalah sekitar 3.062 hingga 3.948 ekor (angka
itu telah menurun sekitar 100.000 dibandingkan dengan pada awal abad ke 20).

Harimau memiliki empat kaki dan sebuah ekor yang sangat panjang. Mereka memiliki beberapa
kuku tajam yang bisa dikeluar masukkan di tapak kaki nya. Mereka juga memiliki tubuh yang
berotot. Terdapat bulu bulu yang terlihat seperti tengkuk di sekitar leher dan rahang nya. Bagian
yang paling khas dari tubuh mereka adalah kulitnya. Mereka memiliki pola garis vertikal hitam
yang sangat unik di kulitnya yang membuat mereka mudah dikenali bahkan saat mereka masih
bayi. Sebagian besar harimau memiliki bulu berwarna jingga tua, namun ada juga harimau emas
dan putih dengan bulu emas dan putih. Sebagian besar harimau bisa hidup hingga usia 20 tahun
atau lebih. Seekor harimau yang telah tumbuh sempurna dapat berlari pada kecepatan 49 hingga
65 km/jam. Harimau jantan dewasa bisa mencapai berat badan 310 kg sementara harimau betina
dewasa bisa mencapai berat badan 170 kg.
