The tale of Guno and Koyo

Introduction

               Guno and Koyo is an Indonesian story written by Harold Courlander.

   Harold Courlander was an American novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist and an expert in the            study of Haitian life. The story has two or more lessons that you should remember in life.

   When you read the first part you would think that it was just all for fun and has no essential value

   and doesn't have any lesson whatsoever. But when you get to the middle part going to the end you           realize your opinion was wrong and there was more to it than just a simple story.

Body

            The story mentioned the word "Hadji" which according to the internet means "Hadji" is a title and prefix added to an existing family name that is awarded to a person who has successfully completed the Hajj to Mecca. Hadji's are usually aged people.

            Java is an island in Indonesia.It is located between Sumatra and Celebes Java has a population of over 141 million. Java is home to 56.7 percent of the Indonesian population and is the world's most populous island. Everywhere in Java, Sumatra and Celebes, the people know of two men named Guno and Koyo and whenever they hear of them they smile. For the name Guno means “Helpful” and Guno is really a very unhelpful man; and while Koyo’s name means “rich”, Koyo in fact never has any money at all. Whatever he manages to get his hands on, Guno the “Helpful”, one helps him lose.

               I think Guno and Koyo robbed the old "Hadji" was because he was rich. and the villager chased them because the "Hadji" (in muslim culture) was respected because he completed the Hajj to Mecca. And they were also being so noisy.

           After the failed robbery of the two boys, they are known to the people in Java, Sumatra and Celebes. And people tell their friends who tries to get out of a ridiculous act that "Dont go swimming in a dry riverbed." Because that was the way Guno and Koyo did to try to escape. The saying is a warning to anyone who is planning to do a ridiculous act that wont do anything good.

Conclusion 

               I realized that after writing this. that this story is a story that is meant to be enjoyed and learned upon. It teaches everyone not to do silly acts just like Guno and Koyo. And think of the consequences of your actions.

Autobiography

                                           Extrovert

                                                 "Hayahaya nato oi!"

                              It was a hot afternoon on a Sunday. I and my cousins went on an ordinary trip,
                              we just walked from Duljo to CIT. We went there and played computer because                                    that is what we always do on Saturdays and Sundays. We got bored so we thought                                about going somewhere else. My cousin said.
                              "Boringa dinhi oi, Adto ta SM na pero maglakaw lang ta kai wa tai pang plete"
                              And so we walked all the way from CIT to SM seaside. And while we were                                          walking we talked so that the trip would be fun and enjoyable. When we were                                      almost there we thought about a "problem".
                              "Asa man ta mangaon ani alas 8 na wa pa tay kaon"
                              "Mamalit lang ta"
                              "Unsaon man nato pagpalit ug pagkaon kung wa tai kwarta."
                              And so we stood still and thought. Our plan was to buy bread because it is cheap.
                              And so we bought bread in the supermarket. When we were there, we saw                                            someone giving free samples. My cousin said
                              "tan-awa ohh libre ra kaon mangayo ta na."
                              So we went and asked. They kindly gave us some but the who gave us said only                                    one per customer. So I said, I would do anything she said, She told me to shout
                              "Ali namo free samples."
                              My cousins were somewhat the shy type so I was the one that did it. And then as                                  promised she gave us more. and that was one of the most memorable experiences                                  of my life.

Open Letter

                                           July 5, 2018

                              An open letter to Parents:

                      Hello, to all the parents in the world, thank you. For doing everything you can for us

             You went and helped us through thick and thin. Even if you scold us; 

             We all know you are only doing it so that we can realize what we did wrong.

             

    

              They say nothing can compare to a parent's love. 

              We say the only thing that could compare to a parents

               love is the love that Children give to their parents.

               All we can say is thank you. From the bottom of our hearts.

               For taking care of us through the years

                                                                                                                         From Sons and daughters
