Telaga Warna
The king of a famous kingdom in Cipanas, West Java, was very wise
man. He had a beautiful daughter. The king and queen loved their daughter
so much.
But all their love was not enough for the princess. Even though they
gave her everything, she was not happy. All the jewelries that they had were
not enough for her. She was not satisfied with her gorgeous look either.
The princess then had an idea. She planned to put all the jewelries that
they had in every single hair in her head. She wanted to be the most
beautiful girl in the world.
So the princess went to see her mother and father and told them about
her plan. She was very sure they would not say no.
The king was surprised to hear about his daughter plan. He tried to
convince her that her plan was not proper.
"My Daughter, the beauty of a princess is not measured by her clothes
or by the jewelry she is wearing, but by her attitude. It's not that we don't
love you, but what will people think if you go through with your plan?" said
the king.
The princess was shocked to hear that. So she ran to her room to get
her jewelry box. Then she returned to her parents. She screamed: "You are so
miserly. Here, I am returning the every single jewelry you ever gave me." She
threw her jewelry box to her father. The wise king was outraged seeing his
daughter did.
"You are ungrateful daughter!"
Suddenly, the floor of the palace erupted and water poured out from the
crack. In a matter of second the palace flooded, drowning the ungrateful
princess and her jewelry. The palace then turned into a lake.
The lake always reflects multiple colors to its surrounding. Some say the
colors come from the princess's jewelry. The lake is known as Telaga Warna
that means colorful lake.

bread and pie with them. We make jams and jellies and sweets. We freeze
them to eat later. We even make alcohol from fruit. Beer comes from grains,

gloomy frown. He was a new kid in town but no-one knew he was even there.
John wasnt the type of person you could have fun with. He didnt like
anybody and they didnt like him. All day he sat hunched in the beanbag
staring blankly out the window .

vacant lot. The tree seemed to beckon him. He stood slowly up as if he was
in trance, then started to walk towards the tree. Its branches were scraggly
and tough, its roots dug into the ground like claws. The tree had thoms all
over it and vines hung around it. John tried to turn a way but he couldnt. A

The mock strawberry or "Gurbir", Potentilla indica (formerly Duchesnea
indica), also called Indian strawberry or false strawberry, has foliage and
fruit similar to true strawberry, though it is not in the genus Fragaria. It can
readily be distinguished by its yellow flowers, as opposed to the flowers of true
strawberries which are white or slightly pink. It is native to eastern and southern
Asia, but has been introduced to many other areas as an ornamental plant. It
has been naturalized in many regions, including the southern United States, and
is considered a noxious weed in some regions.
The leaves are trifoliate, roughly veined beneath, dark green, and often
persisting through the winter, arising from short crowns. The plant spreads along
creeping stolons, rooting and producing crowns at each node. The yellow flowers
are produced in mid spring, then sporadically throughout the growing season.
The fruits are white or red, and entirely coverered with red seeds. They are
edible, though unpleasant to eat, as they have no discernable taste.
Recent genetic evidence has shown that this genus is better included within
Potentilla,[1] but currently most sources still list it in the genus Duchesnea.
