Read the following passage to answer the question A long time ago, in a beautiful kingdom surrounded by lush forests and high mountains, there lived a princess named Roro Anne. She was beloved by everyone for her beauty, wisdom, and kindness. She was promised to a brave and noble prince named Raden Baran, and their wedding was celebrated widely with great joy. Soon after their marriage, a mysterious sorcerer appeared. In anger at the union, he cursed the couple. In an instant, the curse twisted Raden Baran’s mind. He no longer recognized Roro Anne — to him, she became a threat to his kingdom. Terrified and heartbroken, Roro Anne fled into the forest and hid in a lonely mountain cave. But fate was cruel. Driven by the curse, Raden Baran found her in the cave. Overcome by confusion and rage, he raised his sword and struck her. Roro Anne cried out in agony and collapsed. When he realized what he had done, horror and deep regret filled his heart. Roro Anne died in his arms. News of her tragic death spread throughout the land. The once peaceful kingdom was overwhelmed by grief. The mountain where she fell became known as Coban Rondo — “The Widow’s Waterfall” — in memory of the princess who died waiting for her love. It was said that the roaring waterfall carried the echoes of Roro Anne’s sorrow, and the place became associated with sadness, loss, and eternal longing. Today, Coban Rondo remains a place of natural beauty — but also a reminder. Its legend teaches that love, trust, and the promises we make are fragile. When curses, jealousy, or betrayal interfere, tragedy can follow.

Read the following passage to answer the question

A long time ago in East Java, there lived two powerful animals: a shark named Sura and a crocodile named Baya. They were once friends who shared the same home in the sea, but whenever they were hungry, they argued because both were greedy and refused to share food. One hot day, they found a goat near the shore, and both wanted it for themselves. They fought fiercely for hours until they grew too tired to continue. Realizing how useless the fighting was, Sura suggested they divide their territories. Sura would live and hunt in the sea, while Baya would stay on land and hunt there, with the beach as their boundary. Baya agreed, and for a while, they lived peacefully in their own areas.

However, as time passed, Sura struggled to find enough food in the sea. Desperate, he entered a river on land to hunt. When Baya discovered him there, he became furious and reminded Sura of their agreement. Sura argued that since the river held water, he had the right to be there. Their disagreement turned into a violent battle in which they bit and attacked each other fiercely. In the end, Sura was badly wounded and fled back to the sea, leaving Baya victorious on land.

The place where the battle happened became known for the struggle between the shark and the crocodile. People later named the area by combining their names, remembering the conflict that shaped the region. Today, the story teaches an important lesson about greed, keeping promises, respecting boundaries, and understanding that fairness can prevent unnecessary conflict.

Read the following passage to answer the question

One day, the Giant came back. He had been to visit his friend, the Cornish ogre, and had stayed with him for seven years. After the seven years were over, he had said all that he had to say, for his conversation was limited, and he was determined to return to his own castle. When he arrived, he saw the children playing in the garden.

"What are you doing here?" he cried in a very gruff voice, and the children ran away.

"My own garden is my own garden," said the Giant; "anyone can understand that, and I will allow nobody to play in it but myself." So he built a high wall all round it, and put up a notice-board.

TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED

He was a very selfish Giant.
