GUNO AND KOYO

GUNO AND KOYO

Everywhere Java Sumatra and Celebes the people know the two men named Guno and Koyo when they here these names they have a big smile. One day Guno convinced Koyo to rob an old hadji. So during the night they dug a hole to get inside inside the old hadji's house by digging under the wall. After digging the hole Guno got inside and Koyo who watched outside to look for strangers and guard Guno from the outside. Guno got the valuables the old hadji owned but when coming out of the house Guno saw the hadji's beautiful and colorful robe. So he wore it then he was ready to go out but Guno did not want to get the robe dirty so Guno went to the door and unlocked the door and went outside. Koyo was still waiting outside the hole they dug so when Koyo saw the colorful robed figure outside the door Koyo thought it was the hadji so he ran then Guno saw Koyo running he thought the hadji was behind him so Guno ran after Koyo. The both of them made so much noise that they woke up the villagers near by they chased Guno and Koyo with sticks and sickles. Guno and Koyo ran until they were on the edge on the riverbed. Guno jumped in the riverbed first then Koyo. Then they noticed that the riverbed was dry then the villagers arrived. Then Guno and Koyo were doing swimming actions to trick the villageres but they knew already the riverbed was dry. Then villagers just started laughing then they left. Then came the quote "Don't go swimming in a dry river bed!" became real. 

INTRODUCTION

Guno and koyo is a story written by Harold Courlander. I wanted to know is this story real? Or just made to  inspire or to teach a lesson. The two boys are really interesting. Not only are they robbers but someone who is crazy enough to do something as fake swimming to get out of their very bad actions

So this blog will talk about the origin of this story and also my opinion on it.

A Hadji from islam

I put this picture here because a hadji was also talked about in the guno and koyo story. Also this is a picture of a hadji that lived in islam also Hadji (also spelled Hajji, Haji or Hatzi) is a title and prefix added to an existing family name that is awarded to a person who has successfully completed the Hajj ("pilgrimage") to Mecca (for Muslims, or Jerusalem in the case of Christians) also pilgrimage is a tradition where a journey, especially a long one, made to some sacred place as an act of religious devotion. Now i will talk about the where and other things country's that were briefly mentioned in guno and koyo. First the country Java: Java is only the fourth largest island in Indonesia but contains more than half of the nation's population and dominates it politically and economically. The capital of Java and of the country is Jakarta (formerly Batavia), which is also Indonesia's largest city. Next is Sumatra: Sumatra is an Indonesian island in Southeast Asia that is part of the Sunda Islands. Sumatra has a wide range of plant and animal species but has lost almost 50% of its tropical rainforest in the last 35 years. Many species are now critically endangered, such as the Sumatran ground cukoo, the Sumatran tiger, the Sumatran elephant, the Sumatran rhinoceros, and the Sumtran orangutan. Deforestation on the island has also resulted in serious seasonal smoke haze over neighboring countries, such as the 2013 Southeast  Asian haze causing considerable tensions between Indonesia and affected countries Malaysia and Singapore. Next is Celebs: Sulawesi, formerly known as Celebs is an island in Idonesia. One of the four Greater Sunda islands, and the world's eleventh-largest island, it is situated east of Borneo, west of the Maluku Islands, and south of Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago . in Indonesia, only Sumatra, Borneo and Papua are larger in territory, and only Java and Sumatra have larger populations.Now I will talk about the quote "Dont go swimming in a dry riverbed!"  it is a quote from the story it means "don't do something stupid to get out a situation you are in" for me i say this quote is correct.

CONCLUSION

I have come to a realization that this story is teaching us that it’s wrong to run from our problems and we should confront them and as the quote from Guno and koyo say “Don’t go swimming in a dry riverbed!”
