inside to polish them. Staying home those five extra minutes probably saved my
life.

the lawn picking flowers. Somebody yelled, “Tsunami!” We thought it was an

mother pushed me inside and slammed the door, just as the wave struck our house.

floated away. Seawater came up to my knees. I decided to changed clothes, in
case we had to swim. When I opened the closet, the back wall was gone! All I
could see past my hanging clothes were waves and dead fish. It looked liked a
strange painting.

floating by, holding onto whatever they could. A boy was clinging to a piece of
lumber. The waves carried us far out into Hilo Bay

day, a Chinese boat came to eastern Borneo .
First, the people thought it was a merchant ship but the boat was loaded with
trade goods and highly trained soldiers. Their envoys brought gold and

that he had once heard when he was hunting.

angry. On the next day, she refused his proposal.
The
enraged prince ordered his troops to raid Muara Kaman. The battle was won by
the prince’s huge band of troops. As they drew near to the palace, Queen Aji
Bidara Putih chewed a leaf of betel vine and sang a mantra while holding it.
When she threw it at the Chinese troops, it turned to giant centipedes. The

The Lion and The Mouse
Once when a lion was asleep, a little mouse
began running up and down upon him; this soon awoke the lion, who placed his huge
paw upon him, and open his big jaws to swallow him. “Pardon, O king,” cried the
little mouse, “Forgive me this time, I shall never forget it; perhaps I may be
able to do you a good turn some of these days.”
The lion was so tickled at the idea of the
mouse being able to help him. Then, he lifted up his paw and let him go.
Sometime after, the lion was caught in a
trap. Some hunters, who wanted to carry him alive to the King, tied him to a
tree while they went in search of a wagon to carry him in. Just then, the
little mouse happened to pass by and see the sad plight in which the lion was.
The little mouse went up to him and soon gnawed away the ropes that bounded the
king of the beasts. Soon after the little mouse had finished gnawing away the
ropes, he asked the lion to run away.

A

playing by the side of the lake. She began to cry so sadly that the frog who
sat beside the lake croaked to her, “What will you give me if I get you your
ball back?”
