Once, there was a little girl who lived in a small, very simple, poor house on a hill. As she grew she would play in the small garden, able to see over the garden fence and (1) across the valley to a wonderful house high on the hill. The house had golden windows, so golden and shining that the little girl would dream of how magical it would be to grow up and live in the house instead of (2) an ordinary house like hers.
Although she loved her parents and family, she yearned to live in that golden house. She dreamed all day about (3) how wonderful and exciting it must be to live there.
When she got to an age where she was old and sensible enough to go outside her garden fence, she asked her mother if she could go for a bike ride outside the gate and (4) down the lane. After pleading with her, her mother finally allowed her to go, insisting that she kept close to the house and didn’t wander too far. The day was beautiful and the little girl knew exactly where (5) she was heading! Down the lane and across the valley, she rode her bike until she got to the gate of (6) the golden house.
She dismounted her bike and leaned it against the gate post. Then she focused on the path that lead to the house and then on the house itself. You know what! She was very disappointed as she realised all the windows were (7) plain and rather dirty, reflecting nothing other than the sad neglect of the house that stood derelict.
So sad she didn’t go any further and turned, heart broken as she remounted her bike. As (8) she glanced up she saw a sight that amazed her. There across the way on her side of the valley was a little house and its windows glistened like gold as the sun shone on her little home.
She realised that she had been living in her golden house and all (9) the love and care she found there was what made her home the ‘golden house’. Everything she dreamed was right there (10) in front of her nose!

The following night, the pair settled down at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had, the couple allowed the angels to sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun rose the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead on the field. The younger angel was infuriated, accused and asked the older angel, “How could you have let this happen?”
“The first family had everything, yet you helped them. However, the second family had little, but was willing to share everything, and you let their cow die.”
“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn’t find it. Then last night, as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”
That is exactly what happens when things don’t turn out the way they should.

Teks yang diperdengarkan oleh Bapak/Ibu Guru: A nurse took a tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside. “Your son is here,” she said to an old man who was her patient. He opened his eyes, but blurrily saw a young soldier standing beside his bed. The soldier reached out to the old man’s hand. The nurse brought a chair so that the soldier could sit beside the bed.
All through the night the young soldier sat beside the old man’s bed, holding his hand and offering him words of love and strength. Occasionally, the nurse asked the soldier to rest for a while, but he refused. The man said nothing, only held on tightly to the young soldier all through the night.
Towards dawn, the old man died. The soldier released the old man’s hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse.
Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of condolence, but the soldier interrupted her. “Who was that man?” he asked.
The nurse was startled. “He was your father,” she answered. “No, he wasn’t,” the soldier replied. “I never saw him before in my life.”
“Then why didn’t you say something when I took you to him?” “I knew right away there had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son who wasn’t here. When I realized that he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed me, I stayed.”
So, the next time someone needs you, be there for them. Adapted from: http://rajaniyer.blogspot.com/2009/02/tale-to-understand-helping-hand-speaks.html (March 22, 2012)

My name is Alan. Now I live happily in a palace with my parents. Will you listen to my story?
My country is ruled by a good and hard working king. No wonder that my country is very prosperous and wealthy. Do you know who the king is? Yes, he is my father.
When I was born, my parents were very happy. To show their happiness, they held a festival in the palace. Everyone was happy with my birth but Oralf, my uncle, wished that he would rule the kingdom so he planned to estrange me.
Guess what Oralf did then! He took me to the top of a mountain. He left me there and returned to the palace.
Moments later, a white horse approached me. The horse lived in a cave of the mountain. It had fire wings that could destroy everything. When it looked at me, it took pity. Then it decided to take care of me. It loved me and taught me all types of warfare. I grew well with other children. Actually it didn’t know that I was the king’s son!
Arriving at the cave, the king soon realised that I was his son. He then told the white horse and my friends that he would take me back to the palace. They could say nothing but yes. Before I left them, the horse gave me a feather from its fire wings. It told me that if I had any need, I could call it by dipping the feather in water. It would appear and help me.
After saying thanks to the horse, the king and I went back to the palace. Of course my arrival made Oralf upset. He planned to kill me. He went to the neighboring kingdoms and revealed all military secrets to attack my kingdom. The attack was so sudden that we could not defend. Suddenly, I remembered the feather the horse had given me. I dipped it in the water and requested for the horse’s help. At once the horse appeared and helped me. Soon we defeated the enemy and Oralf was killed. Since then, we live happily until now.
Well, that’s my story. Thank you for listening.

Daddy’s Girl
Her hair was arranged in a pony tail, her favorite dress was tied with a bow. Today was Father’s Day at school, and she couldn’t wait to go. Her mommy tried to tell her that she should probably (1) ________. Why the kid may not understand, if she went to school alone. But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say –– what to tell her (2) ________, on Father’s Day.
Her mommy was still worried, for her to face this day alone and that was why once again, she tried to keep her daughter home. The little girl went to school, eager to tell them all. About a dad she never saw, a dad who never called.
There were daddies along the wall, for everyone to meet. Children were squirming, (3) ________, anxiously in their seats. One by one the teacher called a student from the class, to introduce their daddy as seconds slowly passed. Finally, the teacher called her name and every child turned to stare. Each of them was searching, for a man who wasn’t there.
“Where’s her daddy?” she heard a boy call out. “She probably doesn’t have one,” another student dared to shout. From somewhere near the back, she heard a daddy say, “Looks like another dad too busy to waste his day.”
The words did not (4) ________ her, as she smiled at her friends and looked back at her teacher, who told her to begin. With her hands behind her back, slowly she began to speak and out from the mouth of a child, came words incredibly unique, “My daddy couldn’t be here because he lives so (5) ________, but I know he wishes he could be with me on this day.”
“Although you cannot meet him, I want you to know all about my daddy and how much he loves me. He loved to tell me stories, taught me to ride my bike. He surprised me with pink roses and taught me to fly a kite. We used to share fudge sundaes and ice cream cones. Although you cannot see him, I’m not standing here alone. My daddy’s always with me, even though we are far apart. I know because he told me, he’ll forever be here in my heart.”
With that her little hand reached up and lay across her chest, feeling her own (6) ________, beneath her favorite dress and from somewhere in the crowd of dads. Her mother stood in tears, proudly watching her daughter who was (7) ________ beyond her years, for she stood up for the love of a man not in her life. Doing what was the best for her, doing what was right.
To her mother’s amazement, she witnessed with surprise that a room full of daddies and children, all started to close their eyes. Who knows what they saw before them, who knows what they felt inside. Perhaps for merely a second, they saw him at her side.
“I know you’re with me, daddy,” to the (9) ________ she called out. What happened next made
(10) ________ of those once filled with doubt. Not one in that room could explain it, for each of their eyes had been closed, but there placed on her desk was a beautiful pink rose. A child was blessed, if only for a moment, by the love of her shining bright star and given the gift of believing that. Heaven is never too far.

The Twin Stars
In front of the little house was a pine tree and every night at the time when the children went to bed, a bright star appeared over the top of the tree and looked in through the window. The children were brother and sister. They were twins, and so they always had each other to play with.
“Now go to sleep,” the mother would say when she had kissed them goodnight, but it was hard to go to sleep when such a beautiful, radiant thing was shining in through the window of the little house.
“What do you suppose is in the star?” asked the sister. “I think there are daisies, honey, violets, butterflies and blue birds,” answered the brother.
“I think there are roses, robins, berries and hummingbirds,” said the sister.
“There must be trees and grass too and I am sure there are pearls and diamonds.”
“I can almost see them now,” declared the sister. “I wish we could really see them. Tomorrow let us go and find the star.”
When morning came, the star was gone, but they said, “It was just behind the pine-tree, and so it must be on the blue mountain.”
The blue mountain was a long way off but it looked near. The twins thought they could walk to it in an hour. They walked all day long. They went through the lonely woods, crossed brooks, climbed hills and still could not find the radiant star that had looked in through their window. The hour had come when their mother always put them to bed and kissed them and said goodnight, but now they had no mother, no goodnight kiss and no bed. They were tired and sleepy. They heard strange sounds in the forest and they were frightened. “I am so tired,” the sister whispered. “I am afraid a bear will come. I wish we could see the star.”
The sky had grown dark and a star could be seen here and there, but it was not their star. They went on till they could go no farther. “We will lie down on the grass,” said the brother, “and cover ourselves up with leaves and go to sleep.”
Tired as they were, they did not have time to go to sleep before they heard a bear calling “Ugh! Ugh!” in the woods. They sprang up and ran out of the woods. Just before they came to the bottom of the hill, they saw right in front of them a beautiful little lake. They were not frightened anymore, for there in the water was something radiant and shining. “It is our own star,” said them, “and it has come down to us.”
They never thought of looking up into the sky over their heads. It was enough for them that the star was in the water and so near them. But was it calling them? They thought so. “Come,” cried the brother, “take my hand, and we will go to the star.”
The father and mother sat alone in the little house one evening, looking sadly out of the window through which the twins had looked. “There is the star that they loved,” the mother said. “I have often listened to them while they talked of it. It is rising over the pine-tree in front of the house.”
They sat and watched the star. It was brighter and more radiant than ever and in it the father and mother saw the faces of their lost children. “Oh, take us too, good spirit of the skies!” they cried. The spirit heard them. When the next evening came, close beside the star there was another star. In that were the father and mother. At last the parents and children were all very happy to be together again.

Once a king had a great highway built for the members of his kingdom. Before it was opened to the public, the king decided to have a contest. He invited as many as desired to participate. Their challenge was to see who could travel the highway the best.
On the day of the contest, the participants came. Some of them had fine chariots. Some had fine clothing, fine hairdos or great food. Some young men came in their track suits and ran along the highway. People traveled the highway all day, but each one, upon arrival at the end, complained to the king that there was a large pile of rocks and debris left on the road at one spot and that this got in their way and hindered their travel.
At the end of the day, a lone traveler crossed the finish line warily and walked over to the king. He was tired and dirty but he addressed the king with great respect and handed him a bag of gold.
He explained, “I stopped along the way to clear a pile of rocks and debris that were blocking the road. This bag of gold was under it all. I beg you to return it to its rightful owner.”
The king replied, “You are the rightful owner.”
The traveler replied, “Oh no, this is not mine. I’ve never known such wealth.”
“Oh yes,” said the king, “you’ve earned this gold, for you won my contest. He who travels the road best is he who makes the road smoother for others to follow.”

Questions 4 and 5 refer to the following monolog. Let me tell you a story. One day a tailor was at work. He took a piece of cloth and with a pair of shining, costly scissors. He cut the cloth into various bits. Then he placed the pair of scissors at his feet. Later on he got a small needle and thread and started to sew the bits of cloth, into a fine shirt.
When the sewing was over, he stuck the needle on his turban. The tailor’s son who was watching, asked him, “Father, the scissors are costly and look so beautiful. However, you place them at your feet. This needle is worth almost nothing. You can get a dozen for less than a thousand Rupiah. Yet, you stick it carefully on the turban, on your head. Is there any reason for this?”
“Yes, my son. The scissors have its function, no doubt, but they only cut the cloth into bits. The needle, on the contrary, unites the bits of cloth and enhances the value of the end product. Therefore, the needle to me is more precious and valuable. The value of anything depends on its utility, son, not on its cost or appearance.”

The following text is for questions 16 to 20. John’s Bright Idea
Mrs. Walter was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. One morning she told her children about a family which she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife who took care of him and their little boy, and could not go out to work. The little boy — named Tom — had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry and Clara, “he is such a help to his mother. He wishes to earn some money very much but I can’t see what he can do.”
After their mother had left the room, the children sat thinking about little Tom. “I wish we could help him earn money,” said little Clara.
“So do I,” said Harry. For some moments John said nothing. Suddenly he sprang to his feet and said, “I have an idea!”
The other children also jumped to attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one.
“I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know the big box of corn Uncle Sam sent us for popping? Well, we can pop it
and put it into paper bags and Tom can take it round the houses to sell.”
When Mrs. Walter heard John’s idea, she too thought it was a good one.
Very soon the children were busy popping the corn, while their mother went out to buy the paper bags. When she came back, she brought Tom with her.
In a short time, he started out on his new business and much sooner than could be expected, returned with an empty basket.
Tucked into one of his mittens were two dollars. He had never earned so much money before in his life. When he found that it was all to be his, he was so delighted he could hardly speak, but his bright smiling face spoke for him.
After he had run home to take the money to his mother, John said, “We have enough corn left to send Tom out many more times. May we do it again?”
“Yes,” said Mrs. Walter, “you may send him every Saturday morning if you pop the corn for him. John, will you agree to take charge of the work?”
“Indeed I will,” replied John, and he kept his word. For many weeks, every Saturday morning, no matter what plan was on foot, no matter how good the coasting or skating, he ensured that all the corn was popped, the paper bags filled and arranged in the basket before Tom arrived.
People began to watch for the “little pop-corn boy” and every week he had at least a half dollar to take home and often more. All this was because of John’s bright idea, and the way he carried it out.
