PART E

Rescuing a Stranded Sea Turtle

 

Last summer, during a family vacation to the Coastal town of Kuta, my siblings and I had an unforgettable experience rescuing a stranded sea turtle. It was a bright and sunny morning when we decided to explore the secluded beach nearby. Little did we know that our adventure would turn intoa rescue mission.

 

As we strolled along the shore, we noticed a crowd gathering near the water. Curious, we hurried over to see what was happening. To our dismay, we found a large sea turtle struggling in the shallow water. It appeared to be entangled in a discarded fishing net, its movements restricted and labored.

 

Without hesitation, we sprang into action. My older brother waded into the water, carefully approaching the distressed turtle. With steady hands, he began to carefully untangle the net from around its flippers and shell. Meanwhile, my younger sister and I alerted the local authorities and nearby conservationists for assistance.

 

As my brother continued his rescue efforts, the turtle seemed to sense our intentions. It remained surprisingly calm, allowing him to work quickly and efficiently. After what felt like an eternity, the last bit of netting was finally removed, and the turtle was free.

With a graceful movement, the sea turtle propelled itself back into the ocean, disappearing beneath the waves. A collective cheer erupted from the crowd as we watched it swim away, a symbol of hope and resilience.

 

In the aftermath of the rescue, we felt a sense of fulfillment and gratitude. Though our encounter with the stranded sea turtle was

unexpected, it reminded us of the importance of environmental conservation and the impact of human actions on marine life.

 

As we returned to our beach house that evening, we reflected on our experience. Though we were just ordinary individuals, we had made a difference in the life of one creature. It was a reminder that every small act of kindness and compassion has the power to make ameaningful impact on the world around us.

Experiencing Flood

On 26" Decernber 2023, I was on vacation. I visited my grandparents in Grobogan. When playing football with my friends in field at 04.00 PM, suddenly the heavy rain fell down from the sky. We went home soon.

 

lt was still raining when I was home. The rain didn't stop and became bigger when the night had come. People were standing in front of their house, hoping that the flood would not come. 

 

The next day, My village had become a flood area, All activities were paralyzed.  No one went for work or school because the land had been covered by flood, However, I thank God because it can still be safe from filood. My father and I looked around my home. All that we could see was water and water. At night, the flood looked like a beautiful ocean with the moonlight on it.

 

Finally, the flood was starting to decrease in the rext morning, My farmily and I cleaned home together, That was the greatest flood that I had ever experienced in my village.
