Borobudur. We arrived there at four p.m. At 5 p.m. we heard the announcement that Borobudur
gate would be closed.

Talaga Warna
Long ago there was a kingdom in West Java. The kingdom was ruled by a king called Pr
abu.Prabu was a kind and wise king, and there was no hunger in his kingdom. But Prabu and his
queen didn’t have any children. It made them very, very sad.
Then one day Prabu went into the jungle. There he prayed to his god for a child. A few
months later, the queen was expecting a baby, and all the people in the kingdom were happy. Pr
abu and the queen loved their little daughter and gave her everything. Th is made the princess a
very spoiled girl. If she didn’t get what she wanted, she became very angry. But even though the
princess behaved badly, her parents loved her, and so did the people in the kingdom.
Day by day, the princess grew more beautiful. When she was 17, her parents invited all t
he people in the kingdom to a party. Prabu took their gift s of gold and bright jewels and had a b
eautiful necklace made for his daughter.
On the day of the birthday, people gathered in the palace field. When Prabu and the quee
n appeared, people welcomed them happily. The cheers were even louder when the beautiful pri
ncess appeared. Prabu took the necklace. “My beloved daughter,” he said, “today I give this nec
klace to you. It is a gift from the people of this country because they love you so much.”The pri
ncess looked at the necklace. “I don’t want it! It’s ugly!” she shouted, and she threw the necklac
e on the ground, where it broke into pieces. Everyone was shocked. Nobody spoke.They never t
hought that their beloved princess would do that terrible thing.
In their silence people heard the queen crying. Everyone was sad and began crying, too.
A pool of water formed on the ground. Soon the pool became a big lake. The lake sank all of the
kingdom.
Today, people called the lake Talaga Warna. It means ‘Lake of Colours’. It is located in
Puncak, West Java. On a bright day, the lake is full of amazing colours, which in fact come from
the reflection of the trees and flowers around it. But some people believe that the colours are fro
m the princess’s necklace, which still lies in pieces at the bottom of the lake.

I ran in my first marathon in 2011, and it was fantastic. I trained for four months for the race. So
metimes it was hard, but usually I enjoyed it. There were five thousand runners in my race, and I
was one of the last ones to arrive – it took me seven hours and twelve minutes! But that isn’t imp
ortant. I enjoyed it and felt proud that I finished the 42.195 kilometres. Yes, that’s how far we ra
n. Now I’m training for my next marathon. If I’m fit enough, I’ll take part in the London Marathon
next year.
