Takatuliang, the Woodcarver Long time ago, on the island of Simbau, in the Celebes Sea, lived a king and his beautiful daughter. Not only was the princess beautiful, but she was also wise and kind. Many princes wanted to marry the king's daughter and this made the king confused. He, then, announced a contest. Whoever presented the princess with the most valuable gift would marry her. Takatuliang, a poor woodcarver, wanted to join the contest, but he was so poor that he had nothing to present. Then, he went far into the forest. There he chose the best tree and carved it into a doll. Next, he took an old piece of cloth and sewed it into a dress for the doll. After that, he cut his own hair and glued it to the doll's head. On the contest day, all of the princes gathered before the king and the princess. One by one, they presented their gifts: diamonds, silk, gold, jewelry, and other expensive gifts. Then came Takatuliang's turn. "What do you have?" asked the princess. "I bring only a doll," said Takatuliang softly. "How many dolls like this do you have?" asked the princess again. "Only this one. I carved it myself and decorated it with my own hair and my father's old cloth. He already died and this is the only thing he left for me," answered Takatuliang. The princess was very touched to hear Takatuliang's story. She decided to marry Takatuliang because he had presented everything he had. Together, Takatuliang and the princess lived happily ever after. 28. Why did Takatuliang carve a doll as a gift ?

A. That was the only thing that he could do.
B. He was a poor wood carver.
C. His father told him to do it.
D. He found the best tree in the forest.

Correct Answer

A. A. That was the only thing that he could do.

Explanation

Takatuliang carved a doll as a gift because he was a poor woodcarver and it was the only thing he could do. He didn't have any valuable materials or resources to create an extravagant gift like the other princes, so he used his skills to create something meaningful and heartfelt. The doll was made with his own hair and his father's old cloth, making it a sentimental and personal gift. Despite its simplicity, the princess was touched by the story behind the doll and chose to marry Takatuliang because he had given everything he had.

They have a distinctive body shape. They have thick and soft fur and wide cars. They also have large claws for climbing trees. The body weight is different from one another. For example, the males can reach 14 kg, while the females in the northern part weight only 5 kg. They spend all their time at the top of the tree. They are quiet animals and do not like a fuss. They spend 20 hours each day to sleep. However, during the mating season, they become more active. Even the males can emit a loud sound and can be heard up to a radius of 1 km. In the wild, they only eat eucalyptus leaves. They contain low protein phenolic and terpene compounds. These compounds can be toxic to other animals.

B. They get water from eucalyptus leaves.
C. They consume water at the top of the tree.
D. They like sleeping so they do not get thirsty easily.

Correct Answer

A. B. They get water from eucalyptus leaves.

Explanation

Koalas can survive without drinking water because they obtain the water they need from the eucalyptus leaves they eat. Eucalyptus leaves contain water, and koalas have the ability to extract and utilize this water to meet their hydration needs. This adaptation allows them to rely on the moisture in their food source and survive in areas with limited access to water.

Many years ago, the sea tasted like ordinary rainwater so it was tasteless. The people living in the islands did not have salt for their food but, luckily, they knew about a friendly giant who kept mounds of salt in his cave. People would cross the ocean with their boats to reach the giant's island, and that was how they were able to bring salt back to their villages in order to prepare more delicious meals. One day the ocean was quite rough for several days so they could not sail out to gather salt. They eventually ran out of salt and the villagers could no longer enjoy their tasteless meals. They wondered how they could get salt again. A child suggested them to ask the giant to stretch out his legs over the ocean so that they could walk on his legs to his island. The kind-hearted giant agreed, and the villagers with empty salt sacks walked along the giant's legs. Unfortunately, the giant's feet landed on an ant hill, and the dangerous red ants started biting his enormous legs. The giant felt hurt, but they still managed to arrive at the giant's island to get the salt. On their way back home, the giant asked the people to hurry up, but the heavy salt sacks slowed them down. Before the villagers could make it back to their island, the giant cried out and push his ant-bitten feet into the ocean. All the packed salt fell into the plain-water sea and dissolved. The giant saved the people from drowning, but no one was able to get the spilled salt again. From that day, the sea became salty 38. What does the text tell us about ?
