Going to “Cilangkap” Waterfall
1. RECOUNT
Orientation
Last holiday, my friends and I went to the most beautiful waterfall in my village called “Cilangkap”. Its location is about four kilometers from my village. We decided to go there on foot in order to enjoy the scenery in our journey.
Record
We bought food and drink in a small store before entering the jungle. Having done shopping, we began to walk through the jungle. We enjoyed the fresh air and the scenery so much. We also heard many birds tweeting as if they welcomed our advent. After we walked for about forty minutes, we took a rest for a while. We ate peanut and banana we have bought before in order to recover our stamina. Many monkeys playing on the branches of trees suddenly stared at us knowing that we were holding their favorite food. They came closer to us and it made us afraid, we directly ran away from them without bringing the rest of the food and drink. We ourselves grumbled about the food taken by the monkeys, then we continued to walk until we reached the edge of a river. We knew that we were about to arrive at our destination when we have reached it. Walking for about three minutes, we suddenly forgot our grumbles because they were finally paid by the beautiful scenery from the waterfall and the fresh water wetting our bodies.
Reorientation
Cilangkap waterfall could make us fascinated and forgetful to our problems unconsciously.
2. ANECDOTE
Abstract
I felt so ashamed of myself last holiday.
Orientation
My friends and I went to the most beautiful waterfall in my village called “Cilangkap”. Its location is about four kilometers from my village. We chose to go there on foot so that we could enjoy the scenery in our journey.
Crisis
We took a rest for a while after we walked for about forty minutes. I ate peanut and banana I brought in order to recover my stamina whereas all my friends were interested in looking for birds to test their catapults. Many monkeys playing on the branches of trees suddenly stared at me knowing that I was holding their favorite food. They came closer to me and it made me afraid. I was frightened and I unconsciously pelted them with all food I held in order that they would run away, conversely, the monkeys came more as if I was feeding them. I could not hold it anymore. I shouted to my friends indicating that I need a hand and I began to cry.
Reaction
My friends directly came altogether and got the monkeys rid of me then they tried to make me calm. All of my friends did not feel afraid of monkeys at all, then they were surprised and shocked knowing that I was so afraid of them. They started to laugh seeing that I’ve thrown away all of my food.
Coda
I was still so embarrassed until we arrived at the waterfall.
