First Story
Title: Intelligence, Kindness, and Beauty

This story tells me about 3 friends who
wanted to spend their holidays in Great Britain. But before they went,
Intelligence worried that they would be separated. So, each of them told
another how to find them if they were separated.
|
|
Second Story

This story tells me about the young man
who always lying in bed. One day, he has been asked by his parrot Pollly why
he did that, and he answered that, there two friends who always whispered in
his ears. One of them, Hard Work, always told him to get up and work, the
other one told him to stay in bed all day long. And he patiently listened to
they and so all day long.

Letter to one of the characters on the story
(Intelligence, Kindness, and Beauty – to Intelligence)
Dear, Intelligence
Hi, Intelligence! How are you? According
to your story, I would like to say that I’m really appreciated to your brilliant
idea. Because this idea rarely thought by people who want to go on
travelling. Most of them are just using their phone to call each other if
they were lost. But how if their phone was lost to and they have no idea
about their friends’ phone number, it would be difficult to find them isn’t
it? Also, I never go for holiday abroad so I hope one day I could go there
with my family or friends just like you and use your idea if we suddenly got
separated during holiday.
Maybe it’s enough for now. I hope you
enjoy your holiday with your friends without got separated. Please answer
this letter as soon as you received this letter and tell me how are your
holiday, okay? And don’t forget to bring me some authentic merchandise from
Great Britain J
Sincerely, your friend
Afifah Fauziyyah

One day, an artist girl, who could do
anything in the world she wanted by painting it, started to think everything
she could see and do in the world instead of panting here. So, she stood up
and walked out of the door. After 25 years she left, she finally realized
that life isn’t about possibility-everything is possible-but it’s about
making a decision that moves you. So, she became an artist again as before,
because painting is something that moves her.

found a spiritual sanctuary and finally found what she was looking for;

that the weight is irrelevant. It depends on how long you hold it; the longer
you hold it, the heavier it would be. It just same as our worries, frustrations,
