THE ANCIENT COIN

        About a month ago, my family and I went to the beach for a family gathering event. When my brothers and I was playing around the beach, suddenly, I felt something different and a bit itchy on my foot. So, I immediately checked it. It turned out to be an ancient coin used by ancient people for economic transaction. I took it and put it inside my jeans’ pocket. 

        The next day, I told my parents about the ancient coin I found in the beach and they said it’s okay for me to save it. In the afternoon, we went back to home and I felt like “Oh My God! I can’t believe that I own a historical coin”. 
        On the way back to home, I was thinking about the safest place to store precious things in my house. When I arrived at home, I immediately saved that coin in a box under my bed, and nobody knew where the coin was kept. I was really happy at that time.

THE DEATH OF THE BABY BEAR

        About a year ago, my family and I went to Balikpapan. We visited the Sun Bear Conservatory. That evening, I was walking through a bridge with gates. I was looking for the honey bears. Suddenly, I saw a little girl pointing toward a dead baby bear with a ridiculous look. I told the little girl to go back to her mom. After the little girl left, I looked around the dead bear. I was shocked, because I saw a very big mushroom. I assumed that the bear died because of consuming that strange mushroom. I told my mom and the officer in the security office. Then, the officer checked the location of the dead bear and told my mom and I that everything will be alright.
        The next day, I bought a newspaper and started to read it. I was so excited, because my name was mentioned in headline section of the newspaper. The headline today was about the strange mushroom. My assumption was right! The bear died because the bear ate the mushroom which contains poison. In the end of the news, the police ordered the conservatory's gardener to exterminate the mushroom. I was so glad to read that. I hope there will be no more death of bears caused by poisonous mushroom.

CHAOS ABOARD THE PLANE

        A month ago, my sister and I were aboard Transpacific Air Flight 5701 from Seattle to Jakarta. It was a perfectly normal day. Because Transpacific Air is a low cost airline, we had to walk into the airplane and enter the airplane using a metal stair.  While waiting, my sister and I sat on our seat in the business class section of the cabin.
        20 minutes later, the metal stair was detached. While the 747-400 "Queen of the Skies" was taxiing through the taxiway, I saw a small hole in the fuselage section of the airplane near my seat. At that time, I was very scared, because a small hole on the fuselage section of an airplane will cause a rapid decompression on the cabin which may lead to the breaking up of the airplane's structure. I asked one of the flight attendants to check the hole.

         A few minutes later, the flight attendant whom I asked to check the hole entered the cockpit section of the aircraft, and after several seconds, came back into the cabin and told us to get out of the airplane as soon as the airplane arrived at the gate. When the airplane arrived at the gate, everyone rushed to the exit. The cabin was full of chaos. As I was about to to walk into the door, I tripped over a black box near my seat. When I looked closely at it, I knew that it was a bomb. I ran quickly outside the airplane and told one of the flight attendants about the bomb. After that, the passengers were told to exit the aircraft faster and a few minutes later, all passengers were inside the airport.
        Everyone said thanks to me for letting all of them know that there was a bomb inside the airplane and a hole on the airplane's fuselage. Well, the flight was cancelled and we had to wait for another flight. But, if the flight was not cancelled, what will happen to 500 passengers aboard Flight 5701? Anyway, I was so happy and my sister and I walked around the airport to look for lunch.

AN UNEXPECTED EVENT

       Last week, I was walking home from my friend's home. Suddenly, I saw a white envelope in front of the door. I opened the envelope. Inside the envelope, there was a brochure. Then, I read the brochure that contains information about MotoGP riders in the circuit. I went to the circuit to check whether it is true or not.

       On the way, there was someone suspicious who followed me to the circuit. I immediately called the police to keep an eye on him. After, I called the police, I realized that he's a villain. He started chasing me, I ran quickly and tried to find a safe place to hide. Shortly afterwards, the police came to arrest him and thanked me.

       After that, I continued my trip to meet a MotoGP rider in the circuit. In the circuit, I was looking for my favorite rider, named Marc Marquez. He's a young MotoGP rider. He was only 20 years old and his future is very bright. That's why I idolize him. After I found him, I took pictures with him and he gave me a little experience. I was very happy and I will never forget this experience.

THE LOST PACKAGE

        About a week ago, I was walking with my sister at the park near my home. Suddenly, I saw three small children who were digging in the grass. They found something, and they were looking at it. It was a brown paper box. When I looked at it, I knew immediately that is was a package! We were very scared.
        First, I told the children that it wasn't dangerous. It was just a package. Fortunately, they believed me. So, I grabbed the package and opened it. Apparently, inside the package, there was a very interesting magazine. I saw a magazine with a very amazing cover. The magazine is LOOKS! LOOKS is my favorite magazine. Fifteen minutes later, the three small children was nowhere to be found and I was very excited. Then, I went home with my sister.
        The next day, I told to my mother that I found a package at the park. She explained, that the package I found in the park is the one she's been looking for since yesterday. I asked her about the magazine,  whether it is important or not. If it was not important, I would like to have the magazine. But she said it was very important and she said thanks to me for finding it. She was very happy and grateful because the package was found. Because of that, my mother will cook my favorite foods. I was very excited and my family and I had a very special lunch that day.
