Once upon time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was no other parrot like it.
The parrot could say every word, except one word. The parrot would not say the name
of the place where it was born. The name of the place was Catano.
The man felt excited having the smartest parrot but he could not understand why
the parrot would not say Catano. The man tried to teach the bird to say Catano, however
the bird kept not saying the word.
At first, the man was very nice to the bird but then he got very angry. “You stupid
bird!” pointed the man to the parrot. “Why can’t you say the word? Say Catano! Or I
will kill you” the man said angrily. Although he tried hard to teach, the parrot would
not say it. Then the man got so angry and shouted to the bird over and over; “Say
Catano or I’ll kill you”. The bird kept not saying Catano.
One day, after he had been trying so many times to make the bird say Catano, the
man really got very angry. He could not bear it. He picked the parrot and threw it into
the chicken house. There were four old chickens for the next dinner. “You are as stupid
as the chickens. Just stay with them” Said the man angrily. Then he continued to be
humble; “You know, I will cut the chicken for my meal. Next it will be your turn, I will
eat you too, stupid parrot”. After that he left the chicken house.
The next day, the man came back to the chicken house. He opened the door and

Yesterday, I went home late because I had a meeting with OSIS. We had a meeting
to prepare for the Independence Day events. On my way home, I remembered that I left
my notebook in the OSIS room, so I returned to the school to get it. Luckily, OSIS
members were still there; Iko the treasurer and Karla the general affairs coordinator.
They were just about to leave when I arrived. Then, we decided to go home together.
We were passing the library when we suddenly heard a loud noise coming from
inside of it. We looked through the library window to see what happened. The library
was in chaos. The books were scattered on the floor, a few closets fell on the floor and
shards from broken glasses were everywhere.
We reported this to the school caretaker, Mr. Handoko. He took the library key and
immediately went to the library. We followed him to help. Mr. Handoko tried to lift the
closets back up, Iko helped clean the shards while Karla and I collected the books. Mr.
Hari told us to go home because it was almost evening and let him take care of the rest.
However, Iko and Karla refused. The two really wanted to help. They didn’t seem to
feel burdened by doing it. I guess that’s why they were joining the OSIS.
We found out that the cause for the mess was because one closet broke its legs and
then it fell and hit the other closets. We then propped the legless closet with a brick, so
it wouldn’t fall again. Mr. Handoko thanked us for being very helpful. Finally, Iko,
Karla and I went home together.

Hotels
People sometimes need hotels if they travel far from home. They sometimes need
hotels when they arrive in cities late at night and they do not have any relatives there.
Hotels are places that provide lodging and usually meals and various personal
services for the public. A good hotel provides many comforts and conveniences. Travel
is usually safe and pleasant.
Hotels with hundreds of rooms are common. People can find the advertisement of
the hotels in newspapers, brochures, the internet and magazines. Downtown hotels
survive and prosper because of two important factors. First, business travelers wish to
stay close to the offices or industrial plants they plan to visit. Second, the location of the
airport is close to the hotels.
As the pace of jet travel grows, hotels spring up near airports. Some travelers stay
at airport inns when their flights are delayed. To save time, business executives often
select airport hotels for meetings or conferences. Once the plane lands, the hotel is only
minutes away.
