Dear Icha,

How’s life? Thanks for the letter telling about your holiday activities.
Here, I want to tell you about mine.
Last holiday, my family and I went to the beach. We wanted to release the
baby sea turtles from the Goa Cemara shore.
Goa Cemara is located in Bantul, Yogyakarta. The walk to the beach was
pretty far, but very shady. It felt like we were in the Twilight movie scenes, a
great for photo shoots! We adopted 5 baby turtles. Each turtle cost 10,000
rupiahs. The baby turtles were just hatched. They were so cute. I chose my
turtle and named it Anjo. My sister Fia also chose one and named it Wora.
Anjo and friends were very skittish in the box, and then right when we set
them in the sand, they immediately got still. They did not make any
movements.
We entered Anjo in the race. We were told by our guide that before the
race began, we should face the little babies south so that when they came out
to shore at night, they would remember which way to go. Cool, isn’t it? And
the race began. I could see how energetic they were. What I noticed was that
when they hit the water and were pushed back by the waves, the turtles ran
faster as if knowing what was ahead of them. They were just about to get
swept away by the ocean. It was my unforgettable experience with the baby
sea turtles.
Best Wishes

Sastika

Pied-Piper of Hamelin

The town of Hamelin was suffering from a terrible plague of rats. The town council
tried everything to get rid of them, but couldn’t. At last, the Mayor promised a big
reward to anybody who could put an end to the plague.
A stranger dressed in bright clothes arrived and said he could rid Hamelin of the rats.
At night, the stranger began playing a tune on his flute, drawing all the rats out of the
houses and barns and into the river, where they drowned.
The Mayor would not pay the piper because he said that playing a flute was not worth
the reward. He ordered the piper to leave Hamelin.
But the piper came back one day, and started to play his flute. This time, all the children
followed him, and he left the village towards the mountains. Suddenly, a cave opened in

The culture of Asia is human civilization in Asia. It features different kinds of
cultural heritage of many nationalities, societies, and ethnic groups in the region,
traditionally called a continent from a Western-centric perspective, of Asia. The region
or “continent” is more commonly divided into more natural geographic and cultural sub
regions, including Central Asia, East Asia, North Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and
West Asia. Although Asia is not a distinct continent geographically, there has been little
unity or common history for many of the cultures and peoples of Asia. Asian art, music,
and cuisine, as well as literature, are important parts of Asian culture. Eastern
philosophy and religion also plays a major role, with Hinduism, Taoism, Confucianism,
Buddhism, Judaism and Islam all playing major roles. One of the most complex parts of
Asian culture is the relationship between traditional cultures and the Western world.
Other cultural differences throughout Asia are Asian people’s adaptations to the
climate zones of Asia, subtropical or tropical. The ethnic groups have adapted to
mountains, deserts, grasslands, and forests. On the coasts of Asia, the ethnic groups have
adopted various methods of harvest and transport. Some groups are primarily hunter-
gatherers, some practice transhumance (nomadic lifestyle), others have been
agrarian/rural for millennia and others are becoming industrial/urban. Some
groups/countries of Asia are completely urban (Singapore and Hong Kong). The
colonization of Asia was largely ended in the twentieth century, with national drives for
independence and self-determination across the continent.
Adapted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_Asia

Hot Air Balloons

by Mark Marchant

People first experienced flying by using a hot air balloon. The first-ever
recorded hot air balloon flight was in France in the summer of 1783. Two
brothers, Joseph and Etienne Montgolfer, experimented with paper models heated
by hot air at their family’s paper factory. On the day of their launch, thousands of
people turned out to watch the Montgolfer balloon take off. The French King
Louis XVI was among the crowd. The balloon’smaiden flight was a great success.
Hot air ballooning became an instant national triumph for France. The French
nation loved the Montgolfers, who were seen as a shining example of the country’s
new age of adventure and invention.
However, the Montgolfer brothers were not on board their balloon. The
passengers in the hot air balloon included a duck, a sheep and a chicken! A couple
of months later, on 21 November 1783, two brave men called Marquis Francois
d’Arlandes and Pilatre de Rozier entered the history books as the world’s first
people to take safely to the air.
The Montgolfer’s design of a hot air balloon is similar to the designs still in use
today. Hot air balloons work on a very basic scientific theory. Warm air rises up
through cooler air. Warm air in the balloon makes the hot air balloon rise up
through the cooler air surrounding it. To stay airborne, the balloon needs to remain
hotter than the surrounding air. As the air inside the balloon cools, the balloon
drops slowly towards the ground. A gas-powered burner underneath the balloon
warms up the air inside the balloon and makes it rise again.

Firefly or Lightning Bug
Photinus pyralis

The Pyralis firefly (also known as the lightning bug) is a common firefly in North
America. This partly nocturnal, luminescent beetle is the most common firefly in the
USA.
At night, the very end (the last abdominal segment) of the firefly glows a bright
yellow- green color. The firefly can control this glowing effect. The brightness of a
single firefly is 1/40 of a candle. Fireflies use their glow to attract other fireflies. Males
flash about every five seconds; females flash about every two seconds. This firefly is
harvested by the biochemical industry for the organic compunds luciferin (which is the
chemical the firefly uses for its bioluminescence).
This flying insect is about 0.75 inch (2 cm) long. It is mostly black, with two red
spots on the head cover; the wing covers and head covers are lined in yellow. Like all
insects, it has a hard exoskeleton, six jointed legs, two antennae, compound eyes, and a
body divided into three parts (the head, thorax, and abdomen).
Both the adults and the larvae are carnivores. They eat other insects (including other
fireflies), insect larvae, and snails.

Once upon a time, on the banks of a river, Turtle played her flute. When
Turtle played, all the animals listened. Lions, elephants, butterflies, snakes
and monkeys danced to Turtle’s music. One day a man heard Turtle’s music.
“Ahh,” he thought, “that must be Turtle making music. Turtle would taste
very good right now.” So he called out, “Turtle! Show me your beautiful
flute.” Turtle slowly walked to him and held out her flute. But the moment the
man saw Turtle, he grabbed her by the neck and began to run. Turtle tried to
cry for help, but she couldn’t make a sound. She closed her eyes, holding
tightly to her flute for good luck.
When the man reached his hut, he put Turtle into a cage and shut it. Then
he turned to his children. “Don’t let Turtle out of her cage.” And off he went
to the fields. The children began to play outside. Turtle sat very still inside her
cage, thinking about the man’s words. She began to play a sweet tune on her
flute, and the children ran to the cage. “Is that you playing, Turtle?” they
asked, their eyes wide with wonder. “Yes,” Turtle said. She kept on playing,
for she could see the children were delighted. At last she stopped. “I can
dance even better than I can play,” she said. “Would you like to see?” “Oh,
please!” the little boy cried. “I’ll show you how to dance and play at the same
time,” said Turtle, “but you must open the cage. There is no room in here.”
So the little child opened the cage and Turtle began to dance and play. The
children laughed and clapped their hands, for never had they seen such a
wonderful thing. Then Turtle stopped. “Don’t stop!” the children cried. “Oh,”
Turtle groaned, “my legs are stiff. If I could just walk a little bit to loosen
them ...” “Don’t go too far,” the little girl cautioned. “Come right back.”
“Never fear,” said Turtle. “You wait right here.” Turtle crawled off toward the
jungle. The moment she was out of sight, she raced all the way back to her
house. Nobody ever found Turtle again. But in the forest.
