example, they contain many vitamins, especially vitamins A and C, and many minerals, such
as calcium, potassium, and zinc. They also provide fiber for a healthy digestive system and
carbohydrates that the body needs to make energy. They dont have a lot of calories to
make us fat.

People use fruits for many things. We make juices from them. We cook bread and
pie with them. We make jams and jellies and sweets. We freeze them to eat later. We even
make alcohol from fruit. Beer comes from grains, wine comes from grapes, and some
brandies are made from plums, apricots, or other fruits.But most of the time, we dont do
anything special with fruits. We eat them fresh, just as they are!

The Lake of Colour

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom. The kingdom had a kind and wise king
named Prabu. He and all his people lived in happiness. There was only one thing that made
Prabu and his people sad. Prabu did not have any children. There was no prince or princess
in the kingdom.

One day, Prabu went to the jungle to pray God. Everyday he begged for a child. And
after several time, the dream came true. The Queen got pregnant. All people in the kingdom
felt happy so did Prabu and the King. Many of them sent presents to the palace.

The queen gave birth of a beautiful princess and Prabu and all his people got
happier. Many of the people sent presents to the palace. Everyone in the kingdom loved her.
So did the King and the Queen. Everything she wanted must be realized.She became a
spoiled girl.

Her 17th birthday was coming and Prabu prepared a beautiful necklace as her
birthday present. The party was so crowded and all people in the kingdom came and
attended the party.
 And then, Prabu presented the necklace to his beloved daughter and said that the
beautiful necklace was presented by all people in the kingdom. Suddenly, the Princess threw
the necklace and said that she did not like the necklace. She said that she did not want to
accept that necklace.

All people, including Prabu and he Queen, were sad and began to cry. Then,there
was a miracle. Suddenly, the Earth was crying. It made a pool of water. The palace was
getting full. Soon the place became a big lake. The lake sank the entire kingdom and
became Telaga Warna (Lake of Colour).
