The cattleman then gave the cash with disturbance.

A couple of weeks after the fact, the officer returned. He asked, "What do you provide for these dairy animals?"

The rancher gladly answered, "I give them a scrumptious dinner, I bolster my bovines milk and cheeseburgers, even a couple of days back I purchased them Pizza".

The officer immediately contended, "You need to pay 3 million rupiah".

The cattleman answered, "Why? I have treated all cows in a great way, right?"

Once more, the officer argued, "You have treated every one of these cows past the sensible ways".

I had a really bad experience with love when I was at the university. I was so young, spirited, and blinded by romantic love stories from TV series.

It was my first year at the university. I had many new friends and most of them were boys. We were so close to each other. We liked to share jokes and laughed so hard as if we had been friends for years.

But I found one who was very special and I called him John. We cracked jokes and shared stories more than we did with other friends.

One day, John sent me a message. He said that he wanted to meet me in the cafeteria. I was so curious and happy at the same time. I thought he had something urgent to tell, maybe he wanted to say that he loved me.

When I was there, I saw John who was busy with his books. I approached him and asked what he wanted. Do you know what? I felt very disappointed when he told me that he wanted to borrow my book. He had an urgent assignment with an immediate deadline. That’s all, nothing more.

It was a bad and embarrassing experience. I thought he would say that he loved me but all I got was he only wanted to borrow a book. I think this experience can be a great lesson for me to control my thoughts.

Students at an elementary school were asked to write an essay about what they would like God to do for them. At the end of the day, while grading the essays, a teacher read one that made her very emotional.

Her husband, who had just walked in, saw her crying and asked her "What happened?" She answered "Read this. It is one of my school's students' essays".

"Oh God, tonight I ask you something very special. Make me into a television set. I want to take its place and live like the TV in my house.

Have my own special place, and have my family around me. To be taken seriously when I talk. I want to be the center of attention and be heard without interruptions or questions.

I want to receive the same special care as the TV set receives even when it is not working. Have the company of my dad when he arrives home from work, even when he is tired. And I want my mom to want me when she is sad and upset, instead of ignoring me. And I want my brothers to fight to be with me.

I want to feel that family just leaves everything aside, every now and then, just to spend some time with me. And last but not least, ensure that I can make them all happy and entertain them. Lord, I don't ask you for much. I just want to live like a TV."

At that moment the husband said "My God, poor kid. What horrible parents!"

The wife looked up at him and said "That essay is our son's!"
