When I was eleven years old, I had a big accident. I get scared even now when I think about that time. I went skating near my house. There were many people, and I saw some of them fall on the ice.
It was my first time to go ice skating, so I was nervous. I was wondering how to skate.
I went with a friend who was very skillful. He spent some time teaching me how to skate, but I didn't learn much. He left me and skated all around. As soon as he left, I fell down. I envied the other people because they could skate very well.
I was bored because I kept falling so I took off my skates and just walked around on the ice in my shoes. It was cold and my hands were frozen.
Suddenly I stepped on something that was not hard. What was it? It was a weak place in the ice. When I stepped there, I sank under the ice. I thought that I was going to die, but I did my best to grab something to get out from under the ice. I tried to grab the edge of the ice, but it was very difficult for an eleven-year old.
It seemed like a very long time, like a year. Fortunately, someone helped me. He grabbed my arms and pulled me up. So, I lived and I'm still alive today.

The Legend of TelagaPasir
Once upon a time, there lived a couple called KyaiPasir and his wife NyaiPasir in the jungle of Lawu Mountain. East Java. KyaiPasir was a farmer. He worked in a field. NyaiPasir just stayed at home. Every day she cleaned up the house and cooked for them.
It was a beautiful morning when KyaiPasir left the house and went to his field. While he was walking, he stumbled upon something. He looked at it and was curious what it was. It looked like an egg, but it was very big. He put the egg back to the ground.
When he was at home, KyaiPasir told his wife about the egg. NyaiPasir asked him to bring the egg home so that they would eat it.
On the following day, when KyaiPasir went to the field, he looked for the egg and found it. He then brought it home. NyaiPasir also wondered that the egg was very big. Then, she boiled it and they both ate the egg.
They both felt very full, and it made them very sleepy. Not long after that they fell asleep. In the morning Kyai and NyaiPasir woke up as usual. KyaiPasir took a bath, then he went to the field.
On the way to the field, he felt his body so uncomfortable. He felt itchy. He stretched his body. Suddenly, he felt his throat so hot and very thirsty. He was so shocked! He saw his skin changing into scales. A horn was growing on his head, and he also had a tail. He had changed into a dragon!
Meanwhile, at home NyaiPasir also felt the same. She panicked and ran to the field to look for her husband. When she arrived at the field, she saw a dragon moving his.body on the ground.
Slowly NyaiPasir also changed into a dragon. The two dragons were trying to walk, but they were too weak to do that. They just could move their bodies on the ground. They moved their bodies so heavily that it made a very big hole. The hole was getting deeper and deeper. Soon water came out of the hole. The water came out very much, and it changed into a lake. Since then, people named the lake TelagaPasir.
