5. Retell the story with your own words

Jawaban: 

Damak was a humble fisherman who lived by the sea on Ambo Island. Every day, he caught fish to eat and sold the rest to buy rice. One day, while fishing, he heard a loud explosion—it turned out some fishermen were using bombs to catch fish, a dangerous and illegal practice that harms the sea.

Angry at what they were doing, Damak bravely confronted them. Because he was skilled in martial arts and known for his courage, the illegal fishers got scared and left. Damak then made a promise to protect the sea from such harmful actions.

In appreciation of his bravery, the village leader gave Damak a special gift: a beautiful black hat. He loved the hat and wore it every day. It protected him from the sun, rain, and even helped him rest. He said he would never part with it.

But one day, while fishing, a large bird swooped down and took his hat. Damak ran after the bird through a rocky path into the hills. Eventually, he found the bird resting with the hat beside it. Damak tried to scare it away with his knife, but he missed. The bird flew away—but it left the hat behind.

As Damak picked up his hat, he noticed something shiny in the hole his knife had made. It was gold—shining stones of gold! He filled his pockets and even the hat with gold, becoming wealthy from that day on.
