Love under the Table
Devi is a 2nd grade of junior high school girl. Among her friends, she is famously known as quiet one. However, nobody knows that she is very good at writing poems. She always spends her spare time alone and writes poem in her beloved blue book.

…there is no word to say
No feeling to convey
It’s me
It’s my self

The beauty of falling in love is in the air of her heart, regardless her disability to get along with others well. No body expects that this silent girl has a crush on her senior, Rezky, the most wanted boy in her school. Since she is very quiet and shy, she always feels that she does not have any right to love Rezky. Thus, she can only express what is in her heart through poems.

… I want you to know that right here I’m waiting for you
Though I have to wait till the end of my time
And I hope this feeling will last forever…


A Dog and his Shadow

A dog which got a bone from someone was running happily to his house as fast as possible. When he passed a very small bridge, he looked down and saw his own shadow mirrored from the water under the bridge. That greedy dog thought that he saw another dog which brought a bigger bone than his.
If only he stopped to think for a while, he would know that it was only his shadow. But that dog did not think at all. He dropped the bone form his mouth and directly jumped into the river. Got nothing, that greedy dog eventually swam with full effort to the bank of the river. When he finally reached the bank of the river safely, he only could stand and feel sad because the bone he brought previously had gone. Then he regretted what had happened and realized how stupid he was.

It is very stupid to be a greedy person.

A Buffalo and a Goat

A buffalo had successfully escaped an attack from a lion by entering a cave which often used by a herd of goats as a place to take shelter and stay when night came or when the weather was getting worse. At that moment, there was only a billy goat in the cave. When the buffalo entered the cave, the billy goat took a bow and ran to hit the buffalo with his horns so that the buffalo got out from the cave and eaten by the lion. The buffalo stood still watching the billy goat’s act, whereas the lion outside the cave was here and there looking for his prey.
Then the buffalo said to the goat, “Never think that I will surrender and do nothing seeing you acting like a coward because of my fear to you. When the lion has gone, I will give you an unforgettable lesson.”

It is very cruel to take an advantage from the difficulties of others.
