ARTHUR GOES TO CAMP

One day, there was a mouse, the name was Arthur. He sat beside the river. He was looked so sad and very confuse about something. Then his friends came to him and said something.

“Hi Arthur… What are you doing? Are you wait some fishes come to you?”

“Exactly, no… I am very confuse Luna. I lost my father’s watch. I am afraid, if he is angry and he asks me to clean the bathroom as a punishment. What do you think? What should I do? Should I run away?”

“Hahaha… It is impossible Arthur. How cruel your father are. Are you just kidding? I think… you just need to say the real fact and say sorry to him. I promise, if your father give you a punishment, I will help you to clean the bathroom” Luna said.

Luna was Arthur’s new friend. She came from London and went to England to help his parent job as a farmer in an elite farm. And now, she met Arthur as a new and first friend in England.

Now, she met Arthur again in sad condition. She just wanted to help Arthur to get problem solving. She tried to make him smile by sang a song and stood up comedy in front of him. Actually she could not do that, but she just wanted his friend had good mood and forgot all Arthur’s problem.

Finally, Arthur laughed, because he looked funny action from Luna. Luna was very happy until

She jumped and without careful, she fell down to the river. Arthur was very happy until his tears came out and he could not stop laugh.

Soon, Luna stood up and went to her house to clean her cloth. At that time, Arthur still laugh. After 10 minutes, Luna came back and used dry cloth.

            “Hi Arthur, STOP LAUGH!!” said Luna.

            “I am very happy with your action today, thanks a lot to help me forget my problem.” Said Arthur with his good mood.

            “Hm, you just say THANKS? I don’t need it...”

            “So?? What should I do for you?” said Arthur with still laughed.

            “Emmm… I know… you have to join camp with my new friends and me!!”

            “Exactly, NO. I will not do that, I don’t like it. I will stay in my house and watch the movie.”

“Oww… so, you just say thank you to me, without give me something? If you are not do that, I will tell your father that you throw his watch into the river...!” Luna said.

“Hey.. It’s not true. Don’t lie!!” Said Arthur with little bit angry.

“I will not do that, but you have to join us to go to camp. How? Are you agree? Luna said with happy feeling.

Finally, Arthur agreed with Luna. Next week, they would go to the Gnd (Ghost and Danger) Forest. That forest was very famous with kind ghost and that place had beautiful water fall. So, Luna thought that it would become the new experience for Arthur.

One week was coming. Luna and his friends were already to go to Gnd Forest with full of spirit. While Arthur… he was already finish with his preparation and he invited one person to go that place. He was Brian, he was a best friend of Arthur. While… Luna invited two new his friend. He is Cikraks and Topeng. They were neighbor and school mate of Luna.

At 08.00, they began to take a long journey by a small truck. On the way to go to that place, they sang many songs until they slept. Finally they arrived in that place. Directly, they descended from the truck and they began to go to Water Fall, to look how beautiful it is.

On the way to go to that place… Suddenly, the rain came…

“Hey friends… I think, we have to build our tents, soon. We cannot still here until the rain stops.” Cikraks said with bad expression.

Directly, we built our tent so that they could take shelter, soon. After the rain was stop, they still took shelter in the tent with cold situation. The condition was very muddy and cold. So, Topeng had initiative to move to somewhere and repair the tent.

They still walked and walked… until they found the right place. That place was near the river and that place was comfort and they could take water easily.

Soon, they built again the tent, while Luna and Brian were preparing the materials to make foods. Brian asked Arthur to go to somewhere and found the wood to make a bonfire.

“NO… why not you? I am so tired and I don’t know, where I should go, I don’t know anything about this place. I afraid if there is a lion that want to eat me.”

“Hey… It is impossible, this forest is sterile from that kind of animals. I guarantee that you will be safe.” Said Brian with optimism.

“No, I still afraid. How if I invite Topeng? Are you agree?”

“Up to you, Arthur. Just try to invite him.”

“Ya… Let’s go…” said Topeng with full of spirit.

“Oh.. God…” said Arthur with less of spirit.

Finally, they began to find the wood. They went to somewhere until he found the good quality of wood to make a bonfire. But, the night was coming. Arthur and Topeng turned on their flash light.

“Arthur… I think we need to come back and I think we walk too far from our camp site.” Said Topeng with worried.

“Ya.. You’re alright. I don’t want to waste my time in the middle of forest. Let’s go.”

They came back to their camp site. After they walked do far. Topeng thought that they were gone astray. It made Arthur so worry.

“Hey… Shut up, I don’t want to hear that sentence. We have to believe that we go to the right way.” Said Arthur with worried feeling but try to cover it by showed the calm feeling.

We still walked and walked… until Arthur hear something behind the banana tree.

“Are you hear something?” said Arthur with afraid feeling.

“No… I don’t hear anything. What’s wrong with your ear? Are you okay?”

They continued their journey to come back to their camp site. But Arthur fell that there is someone who walked beside them. Now, Topeng also heard it and tried to believe about what Arthur said. They began to walk faster and almost ran.

Suddenly…

“AAA…” Topeng screamed.

“AAA…” and now Arthur also screamed.

They looked a girl with long hair and used white cloth. Now, she stood up in front of him with smile.

            Directly, Arthur and Topeng ran as faster as they can.

            “Topeng what should we do...?” said Arthur with confuse and afraid, and they were still running.

            “I don’t know Arthur, we just need to run as faster as we can, so that she cannot find us…” said Topeng with worried and afraid.

           

After two hours they ran, they looked a light in front of them. Ya… it is their camp site… they begin to smile and very thankful to God. Directly, they ran to their camp site.

            “Hey… where are you?  What time now? Are you need long time to find the wood…?” said Luna with little bit angry.

            “Hey…shut up… we are so tired… you know… that we meet a ghost? And we run as faster as we can and finally we arrive to our camp site.” Said Arthur and he was so tired.

            “Is it true? I ever talk to you that this forest is contain of good ghost. So, when you meet them, you just need to say hi to them and they will be happy.” Said Luna with smile.

“Hey!!! Are you crazy...” said Arthur and Topeng.

“Ya… I am serious, my friend ever do that and they are the type of kind ghost.” said Luna

Arthur and Topeng could not believe that there is a type of ghost with that habit. They still thought that it was really impossible. But, the important one was Arthur and Topeng came back to the camp site with safe.

Now, they began to make a bonfire and they tried to make foods and warmed up their hand near the bonfire.
