My
Untold Story
By ibu Lani
It is time to have
fun during holiday. I felt so happy because I spent my time with my sons, my
husband and my big family. I went to my father’s house in Cilangkap, Bogor.
There I cooked tempe, fried chicken, kolak and many others. I also shared
stories and I really enjoyed it.
During my holiday,
suddenly I remembered a funny story from my student. It happened a year ago. I
had a student who was funny, cute and he was never bored to share funny stories
with his teachers. So this is the story….
Usually every
morning in Alfarabi class, we teach the children to read. Bu Ichas was my partner at that time and she
taught English reading and I taught Bahasa Indonesia reading.
I was teaching this
boy about vowels in Bahasa Indonesia such as a,e,I,o and u. there were pictures
beside the vowels, for example a for ayam, I for ikan, u for udang, o for
obeng. When he read the last vowel ‘e’, he read e for harimau, I said it was
not correct. He smiled at me and tried to correct it. Suddenly he replied e for
buntut, then he said, am i right bu Lani? I said No, I told him that e is for
ekor and we both laughed. At that moment I thought he was just guessing. I will
never forget him and his story.
