The Lucky Knight

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Bertha. She lived with her father in a big castle. Her father is a mean king who always forced all he wants.

When the king went to a neighbor kingdom, Princess Bertha played with her white horse in a wood near the castle. She tied her horse to a tree and picked some beautiful flowers at the edge of a river. However, when she came back to the tree, the horse disappeared. She was so sad and started to cry. Suddenly, there came a handsome knight with a horse tie on his hand. The princess yelled and ran to her horse. She fell in love with a knight who had found her lost horse. However, since the king did not like his daughter’s relationship with the knight, they made a secret meeting in a hidden garden every evening.

One day, the king invited a young prince from the other kingdom. He was a charming prince who had so many achievements. The king asked him to marry his daughter. However, the princess did not want to because she had already fallen in love with the knight. The king was very disappointed of his daughter’s rejection, but he could do nothing.

Stuck on The Bus

One day on December, I got an unforgettable experience on a bus. On that day, I have prepared myself to come back to Semarang after enjoying my short holiday in my hometown. I decided to take an economic class bus because I did not get a ticket of the exclusive class bus. The bus was so crowded of people and their stuffs that I could not find any chair easily. When finally I found a chair which divided into three parts, I chose the position beside the window. Ten minutes later, there were two men who came and took a sit beside me. Those two big men took most part of the chairs which made me hard to move. Moreover, they fall asleep and swung their heads to left and right. I got stuck and could not move even one centimeter. It was hard to breath well in that condition. I prayed to God that I could go away from the chair and found another chair to sit. Finally, both of them stood up and left the chair after almost an hour past. All in all, it was such an unpleasant experience I got on a bus that taught me how to stay calm in facing unpredictable event.
