Ingredients :
* 2 cups milk (not skim) or cream
* 2 tablespoons sugar
* 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (can substitute other flavoring.)

* 1 cup salt (rock salt is best, but table salt can also be used)

* Tub or large coffee can to hold salt and ice
* Glass bowl or small coffee can
* Electric mixer or whisk
* Ice cream scoop
* Storage container for freezer
Instructions :
1.

2.
- Combine the ingredients. Mix together the milk, sugar, and vanilla in the glass
bowl. Then, set this bowl in the tub filled with ice and rock salt, making sure that the salt

conflict of power and interest, but also a symbol of fertility and prosperity. Since 20 years

fought to prevent revenge and continued loss of life. So Baliem Festival is an event that

Once upon a time, there was a flock of doves that flew in search of food led by their
king. One day, they had flown a long distance and were very tired. The smallest dove
picked up speed and found some rice scattered beneath a banyan tree. So all the doves
landed and began to eat.
Suddenly a net fell over them and they were all trapped. They saw a hunter
approaching carrying a huge club. The doves desperately fluttered their wings trying to
get out, but to no avail. The king had an idea. He advised all the doves to fly up together
carrying the net with them. Each dove picked up a portion of the net and together they
flew off carrying the net with them. They flew to a hill near a city of temples where there
lived a mouse who could help them. He was a faithful friend of the dove king.
When the mouse heard the loud noise, he went into hiding. The dove king gently
called out to him and then the mouse was happy to see him. The dove king said that they
needed the mouses help to set them free. The mouse began to cut the net and one by
one all the doves were freed. They all thanked the mouse and flew away together.

Text following text is for questions 5 to 9.
The Songkran festival is celebrated in Thailand as the traditional New Years Day. It is
celebrated from 13 to 15 April. It coincides with the New Year of many calendars of South
and Southeast Asian countries. It is believed to have been adapted from the Sankranti
Hindu festival. It is now observed nationwide even in the far south.
However, the most famous Songkran celebrations are still in the northern city of Chiang
Mai, where it lasts for six days and even longer. It has also become a party for foreigners
and an additional reason for tourists to visit Thailand. The most obvious celebration of
Songkran is the throwing of water to other people. Thais roam the streets with containers
of water or water guns. In addition, many Thais will have small bowls of cheap beige
colored talc and mixed with water which is then smeared on the faces and bodies of
random passersby as a blessing for the new year. City officials close off many sections of
the street for the festival.
Besides the throwing of water, people celebrate Songkran by going to a wat (Buddhist
monastery) to pray and give food to monks. They also cleanse Buddha images in the
household shrines as well as Buddha images at monasteries by gently pouring water
mixed with a Thai fragrance over them. It is believed that doing this will bring good luck
and prosperity in the New Year. In many cities, such as Chiang Mai, the Buddha images
from all of the citys important monasteries are paraded through the streets so that people
can toss water at them, ritually bathing the images as they pass by.

A long time ago, there was an orchard which was owned by a rich couple and filled with
the most delicious tamarind trees. One day, a fairy decided to test the couple's generosity.
She came to the orchard, dressed as a poor, old woman and begged for the couple to give
her a few fruits since she was very hungry. The selfish couple let their dogs loose on her.
The old woman was bitten by the dogs and badly injured. She touched the giant tamarind
tree and cursed, "Your greed shall be punished". As the woman walked away, the sky
darkened and a ferocious storm broke out. The downpour continued until late at night.
The next morning, the sky was clear and blue. The couple came to tend their orchard
and they were bewildered to find their entire orchard gone. Instead, there was water
everywhere. When they looked down into the water, they could still see their precious trees
at the bottom of the lake. People call the lake "Sampaloc Lake" which means Tamarind
Lake in English.

The Following text is for questions 5 to 9.
Held annually as a community celebration, Dieng festival presents various art and cultural
performances, Dieng's finest product exhibition, and to top it all is the unique dreadlock kids' ritual
ceremonies (or Ruwatananakgembel-gimbal).
The Festival features Dieng's own distinct traditional art forms such as the Rodad Dance, Lengger
Dance, RampakYakso, Warokan, Barongsai, Cakil Dance, and WayangKulit or Javanese leather
puppet show.
As the main feature of the festival, the ceremonies of shaving off the kids' dreadlock hair are truly
exceptional. While globally dreadlock hair is commonly known from Jamaica, in the highlands of
Dieng, dreadlock is a mystical feature which only occurs in children. According*to local belief, these
kids are somehow chosen by their ancestors to hold these gifts, and that the dreadlock must not be
trimmed until the children ask for it. The precious moments when these dreadlocks are shaven are
celebrated in a series of ritual ceremonies known as the ruwatan anak gimbal.
The ceremonies are started with the procession of the dreadlock kids around the village. They are
paraded on Javanese traditional horse drawn carriage or Dokar guarded by ManggalaYudha or royal
troops and followed by various traditional art processions. Then they are taken to the Arjuna Temple
in the Dieng Temple complex where the ritual of the dreadlock hair cutting will take place.
Subsequently, the hair will be taken to the lake and submerged as symbol of returning the hair to the
ancestors.
