Queen Aji Bidara Putih
Muara Kaman lies along the Mahakam River, in eastern Borneo. In the past the area was a kingdom ruled by Queen Aji Bidara Putih. She was a typical queen of myths: beautiful, wise, and sensitive. Many princes and kings proposed to her but she always refused them because she was more concerned with ruling her country and guarding her people.
One day, a Chinese boat came to eastern Borneo. First, the people thought it was a merchant ship but the boat was loaded with trade goods and highly trained soldiers. Their envoys brought gold and porcelain to announce the marriage proposal from a prince of China. The queen didn’t refuse instantly and replied that she had to ponder the proposal first. After the envoys left the palace, the queen called a court officer and ordered him to infiltrate the Chinese boat to gather information on the prince.
When night fell, the officer sneaked onto the boat, and finally found the prince’s room. The large door would not open and he couldn’t find a peek hole, so the officer put his ear to the wall, trying to catch sounds from inside. He heard that the prince was having his dinner and the noise of his chewing and slurping surprised the officer. It was like a boar that he had once heard when he was hunting.
He quickly left the boat and returned to the palace. He reported that the prince must have been a phantom, not a human. He believed that the phantom could be in a human’s form only during the daytime. The queen was so surprised and got angry. On the next day, she refused his proposal.
The enraged prince ordered his troops to raid Muara Kaman. The battle was won by the prince’s huge band of troops. As they drew near to the palace, Queen Aji Bidara Putih chewed a leaf of betel vine and sang a mantra while holding it. When she threw it at the Chinese troops, it turned to giant centipedes. The Chinese troops started to retreat but three centipedes chased them and sank the boat. The site of the sunken ship is now known as Danau Lipan (Lake of Centipedes), with Chinese treasures hidden on the lake’s bed.

You and I learnt to walk when we were a few months old, but baby giraffes can walk after only twenty minutes. Baby giraffes live in a dangerous world. Lions and other animals like to eat them, so the babies must learn quickly. They learn to run fast and to stay on their feet almost all of the time. Even at night, giraffes do not lie down. They stand by a tree and sleep. Big giraffes have long legs and they can run at fifty kilometers per hour. The English word giraffe comes from the Arabic word xirapha. The word means 'runs fast'.
Giraffe’s also have very long tongues. A giraffes tongue can be fifty centimeters long! Giraffes use their tongues for cleaning them selves! Their tongues are important for other things too. A giraffe’s favorite food is green leaves from acacia trees. These trees have sharp thorns, but the giraffe’s tongue can go between the thorns.

Dear Dina,
How are you getting along? It has been quite some time since I wrote to you. I hope that you and your family are doing well. As you can see from the address above I have moved house. My father bought a new house. We sold off the double storey terrace house and moved to a double storey semi-detached house.
I like the new house. The compound is so much bigger than the old house.
There are more rooms and we have big garden. My father said that we could have a swimming pool in the garden if we want to. However, my mother said she would rather have a rock garden complete with waterfall. As for me I would rather have a space for playing football or badminton. I think my father will listen to my mother.
How about visiting me and seeing our new house? I have already found a river which is good for fishing. I think you will enjoy a weekend here. See you soon!
