Venice
Venice is a city in northern Italy. It has been known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”, “City
of Bridges”, and “The City of Light”. The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy
Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.
Venice is famous in the world for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 117
islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands are connected by 400
bridges. In the old centre, the canals serve the function of roads, and every form of transport is on
water or on foot.
You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which nowadays is mostly
used for tourists, or weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. Now, most Venetians travel by
motorised waterbuses which ply regular routes along the major canals and between the city’s
islands. The city has many private boats. The only gondolas still in common use by Venetians are
the Traghetti, foot passenger ferries crossing the Grand Canal at certain points without bridges.

A long time ago, there was a village in East Kalimantan. The village was near the
Mahakam River. Although they were poor, they were very happy. They also helped each other.
In the village, there was a rich family. The head of the family was Pak Pesut. He was
known not because of his wealth, but because his stinginess. He did not like to help others. That’s
why Pak Pesut’s family always lived alone and never mingled with others.
It was a very hard season. All the rice fields could not get water properly. The villagers
could not harvest the rice.
Therefore, all villagers were planning to leave their village and find other places to stay.
Then they sent some young men to look for a place that had enough water for their rice fields.
After several weeks looking for a new place, finally those young men arrived. They found
a waterfall. Later, all the villagers rushed to the new place. Then a villager went to Pak Pesut’s
house to inform about the waterfall. The villagers knew it was useless. So, they all left him and
his family alone in the village. When they arrived at the new place, they all were very happy.
They had enough water from the waterfall.
In the mean time, Pak Pesut and his family were beginning to worry. Their rice slowly
was gone.
It was in the morning when Pak Pesut’s wife was cooking their last portion of rice.
Suddenly, someone knocked the door. A beggar came to his house.
Pak Pesut immediately asked his family to eat the rice. He was worried the beggar would
enter his house and stole the rice.
Later, Pak Pesut and his family ate the rice. It was very hot. They rushed to Mahakam
River. It was so hot that they finally jumped to the river.
The beggar saw the incident. Then he prayed to God. Amazingly, Pak Pesut’s family
slowly changed into fish. The fish looked like dolphin. Since then, everybody named the fish as
Pesut fish
