The Hermit and His Padi seeds

Many years ago, there lived a hermit in a forest of Sumatra. He did not grow food but depended on
the jungle fruit to survive. Soon, there was a drought and all the plants and fruits trees in the jungle died.
The old man had nothing to eat now, so he turned to be a beggar. He went to a nearby village trying
to get some food. At first, the villagers were happy to help him. However, when he came continually, they
refused to give him food anymore. They told him to grow his own food.
One day, while the hermit was sitting in his hut, sad and hungry, he began to think about growing his
own food. Just then, a boatman stopped by then boatman took pity on then hermit and gave him some paddy
seeds.
Before the boatman went away, he said,” these seeds, will grow and give you everlasting harvests if
you work very hard. If you are tired of the work, the padi plants will turn into weeds.”
The old hermit worked hard to clear the land sowed the seeds before the rains came. Strangely, after
a short period of time, the padi was ready for harvesting. The old man got a lot of rice from the harvest. After
each harvest, the plant grew back again right away. When the villagers heard about the hermit and his
wonderful padi, they flocked to his padi- field and took home as much as padi they could.

The Governrnent should be more serious

Sometimes when I pass some certain places in Jakarta, I often see piles of trash by the side of the
street or even by the river. This view is annoying. It makes our city look ugly and very dirty. If we walk near
the pile of trash, we could smell stinky odors coming from it.
Piles of trash bring the bacteria with them. Isn’t that very dangerous to our health if flies land on our
blood?
However, many people live around this mountain-like heap of trash. Many children play nearby.
Also, a lot of woman wash clothes and fruits and vegetables in the river which is contaminated by trash. This
is terrible. I think they don’t realize the danger, because they don’t have knowledge about healthy living.
In my opinion, the government must make a regulation that prohibits people to build houses near
the trash disposal ( dump site ). Also , there should be special officers, like police officers, who watch and
catch people who throw trash on the ground or into the rivers. Moreover, if a big fine doesn’t make people
stop dropping litter carelessly, the government should put them in jail as a punishment.
Finally, I think the efforts to keep our environment clean and tidy need hard work from both the
citizens and the government.
