Monster and human

Long time ago when there's no living creature in the world. There lived a monster all by herself but she doesn't know what is a living creature yet. So she she searched for it everyday of her days. But she couldn't fint it. So she continued it until she found a living creature called Human.

She thought that human is a kind creature. So she tried to get along with them. but they rejected her and treated her very badly. So she ran away as far as she can. She doesn't want to hurt herself.

The next day she tried to go to that place again, but she received the same treatment again and again. One day, She couldn't bear it anymore. She accidentally killed a human and she cried and causing rain to come. The next day she killed more human and cried again, And thus, after so many humans she became a heartless monster with the word "KILL" in her mind. A human then became into her nest.
"Get out! Don't come nearme, you'll get killed!" She spoke with a loud voice
"It's okay, i'm a monster too!" He replied.
"You don't know what kind of monster i am!"
"I know it very much as you know!" He smiled and sit next to her.
"From now on we will be together!" Said him as he tried to amuse the monster girl.

And from that day they lived together. But she realized that the live of a human is so short. It's not even one century yet, but they have aged so much. Deep down in her heart she felt so sad that she will bear the pain of being alone again. But she tried to hide it from that man.
"Hey, I love you!" Said that man that have thrusted her heart and she cried. She want to say that word too..but she can't, she know that they won't live together again. That man will die before her and leaving her behind. So she puts all of her courage and said. "I'm not."

Pidato bahasa inggris Obama tentang pendidikan

Berikut adalah Pidato Obama (Presiden USA) yang berbicara mengenai pendidikan

The President : Hello everyone – how’s everybody doing today? I’m here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, kindergarten through twelfth grade. I’m glad you all could join us today.

I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now, with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer, and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little longer this morning.

I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday – at 4:30 in the morning.  

Now I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early. A lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and say, "This is no picnic for me either, buster."

So I know some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year.

Now I’ve given a lot of speeches about education. And I’ve talked a lot about responsibility.

I’ve talked about your teachers’ responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn.

I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox.

I’ve talked a lot about your government’s responsibility for setting high standards, supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren’t working where students aren’t getting the opportunities they deserve.

But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world – and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.

And that’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education. I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.

Every single one of you has something you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide.

Maybe you could be a good writer – maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper – but you might not know it until you write a paper for your English class. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor – maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or a new medicine or vaccine – but you might not know it until you do a project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a Senator or a Supreme Court Justice, but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.

And no matter what you want to do with your life – I guarantee that you’ll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You’re going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You can’t drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You’ve got to work for it and train for it and learn for it.

And this isn’t just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. What you’re learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.

You’ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You’ll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You’ll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.

We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don’t do that – if you quit on school – you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country.

Now I know it’s not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.

I get it. I know what that’s like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn’t always able to give us things the other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn’t fit in.

So I wasn’t always as focused as I should have been. I did some things I’m not proud of, and got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.

But I was fortunate. I got a lot of second chances and had the opportunity to go to college, and law school, and follow my dreams. My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn’t have much. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.

Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don’t have adults in your life who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job, and there’s not enough money to go around. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don’t feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren’t right.

But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life – what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you’ve got going on at home – that’s no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude. That’s no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. That’s no excuse for not trying.

Where you are right now doesn’t have to determine where you’ll end up. No one’s written your destiny for you. Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future.

That’s what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.

Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didn’t speak English when she first started school. Hardly anyone in her hometown went to college, and neither of her parents had gone either. But she worked hard, earned good grades, got a scholarship to Brown University, and is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to being Dr. Jazmin Perez.

I’m thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who’s fought brain cancer since he was three. He’s endured all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer – hundreds of extra hours – to do his schoolwork. But he never fell behind, and he’s headed to college this fall.

And then there’s Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods, she managed to get a job at a local health center; start a program to keep young people out of gangs; and she’s on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.

Jazmin, Andoni and Shantell aren’t any different from any of you. They faced challenges in their lives just like you do. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their education and set goals for themselves. And I expect all of you to do the same.

That’s why today, I’m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education – and to do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending time each day reading a book. Maybe you’ll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community. Maybe you’ll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all kids deserve a safe environment to study and learn. Maybe you’ll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, I hope you’ll all wash your hands a lot, and stay home from school when you don’t feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.

Whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.

I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things.

But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. You won’t click with every teacher. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.

That’s OK.  Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was rejected twelve times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures define you – you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time. If you get in trouble, that doesn’t mean you’re a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to behave. If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.

No one’s born being good at things, you become good at things through hard work. You’re not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don’t hit every note the first time you sing a song. You’ve got to practice. It’s the same with your schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right, or read something a few times before you understand it, or do a few drafts of a paper before it’s good enough to hand in.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit when you don’t know something, and to learn something new. So find an adult you trust – a parent, grandparent or teacher; a coach or counselor – and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.

And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you – don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.

The story of America isn’t about people who quit when things got tough. It’s about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.

It’s the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and found this nation. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google, Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.

So today, I want to ask you, what’s your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a president who comes here in twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this country? 

Your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. I’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn. But you’ve got to do your part too. So I expect you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don’t let us down – don’t let your family or your country or yourself down. Make us all proud. I know you can do it.

Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.

Diperkirakan setidaknya ada 25.000 ekspresi idiomatis dalam bahasa Inggris.  Dalam linguistik, idiom biasanya dianggap kiasan bertentangan dengan prinsip compositionality, namun masalah ini tetap diperdebatkan [kutipan diperlukan] Dalam frasaologi, mereka didefinisikan dengan cara yang sama sebagai jenis sub-phraseme yang maknanya tidak. jumlah reguler dari makna komponennya. Yohanes Saeed mendefinisikan "idiom" sebagai kata-kata yang menjadi ditempelkan satu sama lain sampai metamorphosing menjadi istilah fosil kolokasi-kata yang umum ini digunakan dalam kelompok -mengubah masing-masing komponen kata dalam kelompok kata- dan menjadi ekspresi idiomatis. Kata-kata makna khusus mengembangkan sebagai suatu entitas, sebagai sebuah idiom. Selain itu, idiom adalah ekspresi, kata, atau frasa yang masuk akal berarti sesuatu yang berbeda dari apa kata-kata secara harfiah berarti. Idiom "berbelit-belit" berarti petunjuk atau mendiskusikan miring, tidak ada pemukulan secara harfiah setiap orang atau benda, dan semak adalah metafora.

Dongeng bahasa inggris "Snow White and The Seven Dwarf" (Audio + Terjemahan)

SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARF

Once upon a time in a great castle, a Prince's daughter grew up happy and contented, in spite of a jealous stepmother. She was very pretty, with blue eyes and long black hair. Her skin was delicate and fair, and so she was called Snow White. Everyone was quite sure she would become very beautiful. Though her stepmother was a wicked woman, she too was very beautiful, and the magic mirror told her this every day, whenever she asked it. 

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the loveliest lady in the land?" The reply was always; "You are, your Majesty," until the dreadful day when she heard it say, "Snow White is the loveliest in the land." The stepmother was furious and, wild with jealousy, began plotting to get rid of her rival. Calling one of her trusty servants, she bribed him with a rich reward to take Snow White into the forest, far away from the Castle. Then, unseen, he was to put her to death. The greedy servant, attracted to the reward, agreed to do this deed, and he led the innocent little girl away. However, when they came to the fatal spot, the man's courage failed him and, leaving Snow White sitting beside a tree, he mumbled an excuse and ran off. Snow White was all alone in the forest. 
Night came, but the servant did not return. Snow White, alone in the dark forest, began to cry bitterly. She thought she could feel terrible eyes spying on her, and she heard strange sounds and rustlings that made her heart thump. At last, overcome by tiredness, she fell asleep curled under a tree. 
Snow White slept fitfully, wakening from time to time with a start and staring into the darkness round her. Several times, she thought she felt something, or somebody touch her as she slept. 
At last, dawn woke the forest to the song of the birds, and Snow White too, awoke. A whole world was stirring to life and the little girl was glad to see how silly her fears had been. However, the thick trees were like a wall round her, and as she tried to find out where she was, she came upon a path. She walked along it, hopefully. On she walked till she came to a clearing. There stood a strange cottage, with a tiny door, tiny windows and a tiny chimney pot. Everything about the cottage was much tinier than it ought to be. Snow White pushed the door open. 
"l wonder who lives here?" she said to herself, peeping round the kitchen. "What tiny plates! And spoons! There must be seven of them, the table's laid for seven people." Upstairs was a bedroom with seven neat little beds. Going back to the kitchen, Snow White had an idea. 
"I'll make them something to eat. When they come home, they'll be glad to find a meal ready." Towards dusk, seven tiny men marched homewards singing. But when they opened the door, to their surprise they found a bowl of hot steaming soup on the table, and the whole house spick and span. Upstairs was Snow White, fast asleep on one of the beds. The chief dwarf prodded her gently. 
"Who are you?" he asked. Snow White told them her sad story, and tears sprang to the dwarfs' eyes. Then one of them said, as he noisily blew his nose: 
"Stay here with us!" 
"Hooray! Hooray!" they cheered, dancing joyfully round the little girl. The dwarfs said to Snow White: 
"You can live here and tend to the house while we're down the mine. Don't worry about your stepmother leaving you in the forest. We love you and we'll take care of you!" Snow White gratefully accepted their hospitality, and next morning the dwarfs set off for work. But they warned Snow White not to open the door to strangers. 

"She must die! She must die!" she screamed. Disguising herself as an old peasant woman, she put a poisoned apple with the others in her basket. Then, taking the quickest way into the forest, she crossed the swamp at the edge of the trees. She reached the bank unseen, just as Snow White stood waving goodbye to the seven dwarfs on their way to the mine. 
Snow White was in the kitchen when she heard the sound at the door: KNOCK! KNOCK! 
"Who's there?" she called suspiciously, remembering the dwarfs advice. 
"I'm an old peasant woman selling apples," came the reply. 
"I don't need any apples, thank you," she replied. 
"But they are beautiful apples and ever so juicy!" said the velvety voice from outside the door. 
"I'm not supposed to open the door to anyone," said the little girl, who was reluctant to disobey her friends. 
"And quite right too! Good girl! If you promised not to open up to strangers, then of course you can't buy. You are a good girl indeed!" Then the old woman went on. 
"And as a reward for being good, I'm going to make you a gift of one of my apples!" Without a further thought, Snow White opened the door just a tiny crack, to take the apple. 
"There! Now isn't that a nice apple?" Snow White bit into the fruit, and as she did, fell to the ground in a faint: the effect of the terrible poison left her lifeless instantaneously. 
Now chuckling evilly, the wicked stepmother hurried off. But as she ran back across the swamp, she tripped and fell into the quicksand. No one heard her cries for help, and she disappeared without a trace. 
Meanwhile, the dwarfs came out of the mine to find the sky had grown dark and stormy. Loud thunder echoed through the valleys and streaks of lightning ripped the sky. Worried about Snow White they ran as quickly as they could down the mountain to the cottage. 
There they found Snow White, lying still and lifeless, the poisoned apple by her side. They did their best to bring her around, but it was no use. 
They wept and wept for a long time. Then they laid her on a bed of rose petals, carried her into the forest and put her in a crystal coffin. 
Each day they laid a flower there. 
Then one evening, they discovered a strange young man admiring Snow White's lovely face through the glass. After listening to the story, the Prince (for he was a prince!) made a suggestion. 
"If you allow me to take her to the Castle, I'll call in famous doctors to waken her from this peculiar sleep. She's so lovely I'd love to kiss her!" He did, and as though by magic, the Prince's kiss broke the spell. To everyone's astonishment, Snow White opened her eyes. She had amazingly come back to life! Now in love, the Prince asked Snow White to marry him, and the dwarfs reluctantly had to say good bye to Snow White. 
From that day on, Snow White lived happily in a great castle. But from time to time, she was drawn back to visit the little cottage down in the forest. 

Meanwhile, the servant had returned to the castle, with the heart of a roe deer. He gave it to the cruel stepmother, telling her it belonged to Snow White, so that he could claim the reward. Highly pleased, the stepmother turned again to the magic mirror. But her hopes were dashed, for the mirror replied: "The loveliest in the land is still Snow White, who lives in the seven dwarfs' cottage, down in the forest." The stepmother was beside herself with rage. 

TERJEMAHAN

Pada suatu hari di sebuah istana yang besar, hiduplah seorang puteri raja yang sangat bahagia, tapi juga hidup dalam kecemburuan pada ibu tirinya, Dia sangatlah cantik, dengan mata yang biru dan rambut hitam yang panjang. Kulitnya lembut dan bersinar, Sebut dia Snow White. Setiap orang tahu kalau dia sangat cantik, tapi ibu tirinya sangatlah kejam. Dia juga cantik, dan cermin ajaib selalu bilang padanya setiap hari, apapun yang ia tanyakan.

"Cermin, cermin, oh cermin, Siapakah wanita tercantik di tanah ini?" Jawabannya selalu, "Tentunya kau yang mulia," sampai akhirnya ia mendengar ada hari yang mengerikan, "Snow white lah wanita tercantik di tanah ini." Ibu tirinya sangat kesal dan juga cemburu, dan mulai merencanakan sesuatu untuk menyingkirkannya. Lalu ia memanggil pelayan terpercayanya, dia menyogok si pelayan dengan sebuah hadiah untuk membawa Snow white ke hutan, jauh dari istana. Dia harus membunuhnya tanpa diketahui seorangpun. Pelayan rakus itu tertarik pada hadiahnya, dan dia menyetujui kesepakatannya dan dia langsung membawa gadis yang tak bersalah itu. Bagaimanapun juga, saat dia menuju ke tempat yang dituju, ada seorang pria berani menggagalkannya dan dia tetap meninggalkan Snow white di bawah pohon. Dia memberitahu alasannya dan langsung pergi, Snow white selalu sendirian di dalam hutan itu. Malam tiba, tapi sang pelayan tak kunjung datang. Snow White, masih sendirian di hutan yang gelap itu, dia mulai menangis terisak-isak. Dia merasa takut karena pikirnya ada seseorang yang memata-matainya, dan dia juga mendengar suara-suara aneh dan itu membuat jantungnya berdetak. Akhirnya, dia merasa lelah, dia tertidur meringkuk di bawah pohon tadi.

snow white tertidur lelap , terbangun dari pagi ke pagi dan kegelapan selalu mengelilinginya . 
Berberapa hari kemudian, dia merasakan sesuatu atau seseorang menyentuhnya saat tertidur.Akhirnya, di saat fajar suara nyanyian burung membangunkan nya . 
seluruh dunia telah mengerakan hidup dan gadis kecil itu senang melihat bodohnya dan rasa takut dirinya.
bagaimana pun, pepohonan besar yang tampak seperti dinding yang mengelilinginya,dan sampai dia lelah mencari tahu di mana dia berada,dia menelusuri jalan kecil dengan penuh harapan untuk bisa keluar dari hutan.disana terdapat gubuk,dengan sebuah pintu kecil,jendela kecil dan juga cerobong kecil.
apapun yang terdapat di gubuk itu berukuran lebih kecil.dia membuka pintu itu.
"Siapa yang tinggal ditempat ini ?"pikirnya,dia mengelilingi sekitar dapur."betapa kecil piring dan sendok nya ! terdapat tujuh dari mereka,karena terlihat dari jumlah meja yang ada".diatas tangga terdapat 7 kamar dengan 7 kasur kecil.Saat dia kembali kedapur, dia mendapatkan sebuah ide.
"aku akan membuat sesuatu untuk di makan,saat mereka kembali, mereka akan senang saat melihat makanan telah siap"
disaat menjelang sore, tujuh pria kecil pulang sambil bernyanyi-nyanyi.tetapi ketika mereka membuka pintu,mereka terkejut melihat semangkok sup hangat diatas meja.dan seisi rumah menjadi lebih rentang.
di lantai atas terdapat snow white yang tertidur di sebuah kasur.kepala kurcaci tersebut membangunkannya secara perlahan. 

"Siapa kau?" tanya dia. Snow White menceritakan tentang cerita sedihnya, sambil meneteskan air matanya pada si kurcaci. Lalu salah satu dari mereka berkata, "Tinggalah bersama kami!" "Hore!Hore!" Mereka berteriak, sembari menari-nari di keliling Snow White. Para Kurcaci berkata pada Snow White : "Kau bisa hidup disini dan merawar rumah kami saat kami sedang pergi bekerja. Jangan khawatirkan tentang ibu tiri yang membuangmu ke hutan. Kami mencintaimu dan akan merawatmu!" Snow white dengan ramah menerima kedermawanan mereka, dan keesokan harinya Para kurcaci mulai bekerja. Tapi mereka memperingati Snow white agar tak membukakan pintu bagi orang asing. "Dia harus mati! Dia harus mati!" Teriak ibu tirinya. Sambil menyamar sebagai wanita tua, dia menaruh apel yang sudah diracuni di dalam keranjangnya. Lalu, dia melewati jalan tercepat menuju hutan, dia menyebrangi rawa-rawa dipinggiran pohon-pohon. Dia mencapai bank gaib, sama disaat Snow White melambaikan tangannya kepada Ketujuh Kurcaci yang akan pergi bekerja. Saat Snow white ada di dapur tiba-tiba ada suara ketukan pintu. TOK! TOK! TOK! "Siapa itu?" dia curiga, karena ingat apa kata ketujuh kurcaci tadi. "Aku seorang wanita tua yang sedang berjualan apel," balas wanita tua. "Aku tak membutuhkannya, terima kasih," Ujar Snow White. "Tapi ini apel yang sangat lezat!" jawab suara dari luar rumah. "Aku tak boleh membukakan pintu pada siapapun," Ujar Snow white, yang enggan melanggar perintah temannya. "Benar, gadis baik! Jika kau berjanji takkan membukakan pintu pada orang asing, maka kau takkan bisa membeli sesuatu. Aku tahu kau seorang gadis baik!" Ujar Wanita tua itu. "Dan sebagai hadiah karena kebaikanmu, aku ingin memberimu hadiah yaitu apel yang kujual!" Gratis. Snow White membuka pintunya sedikit untuk mengambil apel tersebut. "Ini dia! Bukankah itu apel yang segar?" Lalu Snow white menggigit apel tersebut, dan dia jatuh pingsan, dia jatuh pingsan karena efek racun apel yang ia makan.

Wanita tua tadi tertawa, lalu ibu tiri kejam itu langsung menghilang. Tapi saat ia sedang menyebrangi rawa, ia tersandung dan jatuh ke dalam lumpur hisap. Tak ada yang mendengar suara teriakan meminta tolongnya, dan dia menghilang tanpa jejak.

Dongeng Bahasa Inggris "Hansel and Gretel" (Audio + Terjemahan)

HANSEL AND GRETEL

Once upon a time a very poor woodcutter lived in a tiny cottage in the forest with his two children, Hansel and Gretel. His second wife often ill-treated the children and was forever nagging the woodcutter. 

"There is not enough food in the house for us all. There are too many mouths to feed! We must get rid of the two brats," she declared. And she kept on trying to persuade her husband to abandon his children in the forest. 

"Take them miles from home, so far that they can never find their way back! Maybe someone will find them and give them a home." The downcast woodcutter didn't know what to do. Hansel who, one evening, had overheard his parents' conversation, comforted Gretel. 

"Don't worry! If they do leave us in the forest, we'll find the way home," he said. And slipping out of the house he filled his pockets with little white pebbles, then went back to bed. 

All night long, the woodcutter's wife harped on and on at her husband till, at dawn, he led Hansel and Gretel away into the forest. But as they went into the depths of the trees, Hansel dropped a little white pebble here and there on the mossy green ground. At a certain point, the two children found they really were alone: the woodcutter had plucked up enough courage to desert them, had mumbled an excuse and was gone. 

Night fell but the woodcutter did not return. Gretel began to sob bitterly. Hansel too felt scared but he tried to hide his feelings and comfort his sister. 

"Don't cry, trust me! I swear I'll take you home even if Father doesn't come back for us!" Luckily the moon was full that night and Hansel waited till its cold light filtered through the trees. 

"Now give me your hand!" he said. "We'll get home safely, you'll see!" The tiny white pebbles gleamed in the moonlight, and the children found their way home. They crept through a half open window, without wakening their parents. Cold, tired but thankful to be home again, they slipped into bed. 

Next day, when their stepmother discovered that Hansel and Gretel had returned, she went into a rage. Stifling her anger in front of the children, she locked her bedroom door, reproaching her husband for failing to carry out her orders. The weak woodcutter protested, torn as he was between shame and fear of disobeying his cruel wife. The wicked stepmother kept Hansel and Gretel under lock and key all day with nothing for supper but a sip of water and some hard bread. All night, husband and wife quarreled, and when dawn came, the woodcutter led the children out into the forest. 

Hansel, however, had not eaten his bread, and as he walked through the trees, he left a trail of crumbs behind him to mark the way. But the little boy had forgotten about the hungry birds that lived in the forest. When they saw him, they flew along behind and in no time at all, had eaten all the crumbs. Again, with a lame excuse, the woodcutter left his two children by  themselves. 

"I've left a trail, like last time!" Hansel whispered to Gretel, consolingly. But when night fell, they saw to their horror, that all the crumbs had gone. 

"I'm frightened!" wept Gretel bitterly. "I'm cold and hungry and I want to go home!" 

"Don't be afraid. I'm here to look after you!" Hansel tried to encourage his sister, but he too shivered when he glimpsed frightening shadows and evil eyes around them in the darkness. All night the two children huddled together for warmth at the foot of a large tree. 

When dawn broke, they started to wander about the forest, seeking a path, but all hope soon faded. They were well and truly lost. On they walked and walked, till suddenly they came upon a strange cottage in the middle of a glade. 

"This is chocolate!" gasped Hansel as he broke a lump of plaster from the wall. 

"And this is icing!" exclaimed Gretel, putting another piece of wall in her mouth. Starving but delighted, the children began to eat pieces of candy broken off the cottage. 

"Isn't this delicious?" said Gretel, with her mouth full. She had never tasted anything so nice. 

"We'll stay here," Hansel declared, munching a bit of nougat. They were just about to try a piece of the biscuit door when it quietly swung open. 

"Well, well!" said an old woman, peering out with a crafty look. "And haven't you children a sweet tooth?" 

"Come in! Come in, you've nothing to fear!" went on the old woman. Unluckily for Hansel and Gretel, however, the sugar candy cottage belonged to an old witch, her trap for catching unwary victims. The two children had come to a really nasty place. 

"You're nothing but skin and bones!" said the witch, locking Hansel into a cage. I shall fatten you up and eat you!" 

"You can do the housework," she told Gretel grimly, "then I'll make a meal of you too!" As luck would have it, the witch had very bad eyesight, an when Gretel smeared butter on her glasses, she could see even less. 

"Let me feel your finger!" said the witch to Hansel every day to check if he was getting any fatter. Now, Gretel had brought her brother a chicken bone, and when the witch went to touch his finger, Hansel held out the bone. 

"You're still much too thin!" she complained. When will you become plump?" One day the witch grew tired of waiting. 

"Light the oven," she told Gretel. "We're going to have a tasty roasted boy today!" A little later, hungry and impatient, she went on: "Run and see if the oven is hot enough." Gretel returned, whimpering: "I can't tell if it is hot enough or not." Angrily, the witch screamed at the little girl: "Useless child! All right, I'll see for myself." But when the witch bent down to peer inside the oven and check the heat, Gretel gave her a tremendous push and slammed the oven door shut. The witch had come to a fit and proper end. Gretel ran to set her brother free and they made quite sure that the oven door was tightly shut behind the witch. Indeed, just to be on the safe side, they fastened it firmly with a large padlock. Then they stayed for several days to eat some more of the house, till they discovered amongst the witch's belongings, a huge chocolate egg. Inside lay a casket of gold coins. 

"The witch is now burnt to a cinder," said Hansel, "so we'll take this treasure with us." They filled a large basket with food and set off into the forest to search for the way home. This time, luck was with them, and on the second day, they saw their father come out of the house towards them, weeping. 

"Your stepmother is dead. Come home with me now, my dear children!" The two children hugged the woodcutter. 

"Promise you'll never ever desert us again," said Gretel, throwing her arms round her father's neck. Hansel opened the casket. 

"Look, Father! We're rich now . . . You'll never have to chop wood again." 

And they all lived happily together ever after.

TERJEMAHAN

 Zaman dahulu kala hiduplah seorang penebang kayu yang sangat miskin, ia tinggal di gubuk yang kecil di hutan dengan kedua anaknya, Hansel dan Gretel. Istri keduanya sering memperlakukan anak-anak dengan buruk dan selalu mengomeli sang penebang kayu. 

"Di rumah ini tak ada cukup makanan untuk kita semua. terlalu banyak mulut untuk disuapi! kita harus menyingkirkan dua bocah itu!" ujarnya menyatakan, dia selalu mencoba untuk membujuk suaminya untuk meninggalkan anak-anaknya dihutan.

"Bawa mereka jauh dari rumah, sangat jauh hingga mereka tak bisa menemukan jalan pulang! mungkin seseorang akan menemukan dan menawarkan rumah untuk mereka."  sang penebang kayu tidak tahu harus berbuat apa. Di suatu malam, Hansel yang mendengar percakapan kedua orang tuanya, mencoba untuk menghibur Gretel.

"Tenanglah! kalau mereka meninggalkan kita di hutan, kita akan menemukan jalan pulang," ujarnya. ia meninggalkan rumah dan mengisi sakunya dengan kerikil putih, lalu kembali untuk tidur.

Istri sang penebang kayu terus dan terus menceramahi suaminya disepanjang malam. Saat fajar tiba, sang penebang kayu membawa Hansel dan Gretel menuju hutan. Tapi ketika mereka berada di kedalaman hutan, Hansel menjatuhkan kerikil putih di sana dan di sini pada tanah hijau yang berlumut. Di suatu waktu, kedua anak itu menemukan bahwa diri mereka benar-benar sendirian, sang penebang kayu sudah mengumpulkan keberaniannya untuk  menelantarkan mereka, ia membuat alasan kepada mereka  dan pergi.

Malam pun tiba tapi sang penebang kayu belum kembali. Gretel mulai menangis. Hansel merasa ketakutan tetapi dia menyembunyikannya dan mulai membuat adiknya nyaman.

"Jangan menangis, percayalah! Aku akan membawamu pulang walaupun ayah tak datang kemari." Untungnya malam itu bulan purnama dan Hansel masih menunggu sampai udara dingin menembus pepohonan.

"Sekarang, berikan tanganmu!" ia berkata. " Kita akan sampai rumah dengan selamat, lihat saja!" Batu kerikil putih sangat berkilauan di bawah pancaran sinar bulan, dan akhirnya anak itu menemukan jalan pulang. Mereka masuk perlahan melalui jendela yang setengah terbuka, tanpa membangunkan orang tuanya. Dingin dan melelahkan tapi mereka bersyukur sudah sampai dirumah, lalu mereka tidur.

Hari berikutnya, saat ibu tirinya mengetahui kalau Hansel dan Gretel telah kembali, Ia marah. Menahan amarah di depan anak-anaknya, ia mengunci pintu kamarnya, dan ia mengomeli suaminya karena telah gagal untuk menjalankan perintahnya. Penebang kayu yang lemah tak terima, dia berlinang air mata karena merasa malu dan takut karena tak bisa mematuhi perintah istrinya. Ibu tiri kejam itu mengunci Hansel dan Gretel setiap hari tanpa makanan tapi ia memberikan se-isapan air dan sebuah roti yang keras. Sepanjang malam sang suami dan sang istri bertengkar, dan saat mulai sore, si penebang kayu mengantar anaknya ke dalam hutan.

Apapun keadaannya, Hansel tak memakan roti tersebut dan lalu ia berjalan ke sebuah pohon, dia menebarkan remah-remah sepanjang jalannya untuk menandai perjalanannya. tapi anak kecil itu lupa tentang burung kelaparan yang hidup di hutan itu. Ketika mereka melihatnya, mereka terbang sangat cepat dan memakan semua remah-remah itu. Sekali lagi, dengan alasan yang aneh...si penebang pohon meninggalkan dua anaknya sendirian.

"Aku meninggalkan remah-remah terakhir kali!" Hansel berbisik pada Gretel, menghibur. Tapi saat malam tiba, mereka melihat kejadian menyeramkan, semua remah-remah tersebut menghilang.

"Aku takut!" Gretel menangis terisak-isak. "Aku kedinginan dan lapar, aku ingin pulang ke rumah!"

"Jangan takut. Aku disini menjagamu!" Hansel mencoba menenangkan adiknya, tapi dia gemetar saat melihat sebuah bayangan hitam menakutkan disekitar mereka dalam kegelapan. Sepanjang malam dua anak tersebut beristirahat pada sebuah pohon besar yang hangat. 

Saat fajar tiba,mereka mulai menyelusuri hutan untuk mencari jalan,
tetapi semua harapan menghilang.mereka benar-benar tersesat.
ketika mereka berjalan dan terus berjalan,
hingga akhirnya mereka sampai di sebuah gubuk yang aneh di tengah hutan.

"Ini Coklat !"ujar hansel terengah-engah sambil mengambil segumpalan gips pada dinding.

"Disini dingin!" seru Gretel , sambil memasukan potongan coklat kedalam mulutnya.
kelaparan tetapi dia gembira,dia mulai memakan potongan permen dari rumah itu.

"Bukankah ini enak ?"kata Gretel,dengan mulut penuh coklat,dia tidak pernah merasakan sesuatu yang begitu enak.

"Kita akan menetap disini"terang Hansel,dengan mengunyah biskuit.Mereka juga mencoba potongan biskuit dari pintu ketika pintu itu terbuka dengan pelan.
























"Nyalakan oven-nya," berkata pada Gretel. "Kita akan memasak bocah panggang yang lezat!" Beberapa menit kemudian, dengan rasa lapar dan tidak sabar, Dia berkata "Lihat apa oven-nya sudah panas atau belum." Gretel langsung mengeceknya, sembari merengek dia bilang "Aku tak bisa memberitahumu." Dengan rasa kesal sang penyihir berteriak pada gadis kecil itu "Gadis kecil tak berguna!, Baiklah aku akan melihatnya sendiri." Tapi saat sang penyihir melihat ke dalam oven tersebut untuk memeriksa suhunya, Gretel mendorongnya dengan penuh tenaga dan langsung menutup pintunya. Sang penyihir pantas mendapatkannya. Gretel berlari melepaskan kakaknya dan mereka meyakinkan kembali kalau pintunya benar-benar tertutup dengan rapat. Tentu, hanya untuk memastikannya, Dengan cepat mereka langsung menguncinya dengan sebuah gembok besar. Lalu mereka tinggal di rumah penyihir itu selama beberapa hari untuk makan makanan yang ada di rumah itu, sampai mereka menemukan sesuatu yang si penyihir sembunyikan, Coklat berbentuk Telur yang besar. Di dalamnya terdapat banyak koin emas.

"Sang penyihir sekarang sudah terbakar," Ujar Hansel, "Jadi kita akan membawa ini." Mereka mengisi keranjang besar dengan makanan dan membawanya ke hutan untuk mencari jalan pulang ke rumah.Kali ini, keberuntungan berpihak pada mereka, dan pada hari kedua, mereka melihat ayahnya keluar dari rumah menghampiri mereka.

"Ibu tirimu telah meninggal. Ikutlah bersamaku, anakku sayang!" Lalu kedua anak itu memeluk ayahnya dengan erat.

"Berjanjilah kau takkan meninggalkan kami lagi," Ujar Gretel, sembari memeluk ayahnya.

"Lihatlah, ayah! Kita sudah kaya sekarang...kau tak perlu menebang pepohonan lagi."
Dan mereka semua hidup bahagia pada akhirnya
