Moving To a New House

by Intan

When we moved into a new house, I felt sad as we had to leave our house near rice field. In the new house, initially I did not go out to play as I had not known anyone yet. But, I now have new friends, they are Diah and Devka. Diah is a kind-hearted girl and Delva, her brother is quite naughty.

I live together with my family, grandma and grandpa. Our new house is quite big. It is close to Masri'ah's house.

On school days, I usually go to the rice field straight after school instead of going to home. I helped my mom in the field. I used to play with my brother only, but now, I can play together with Cynthia, Umi, Lina-Lini and Gio. We like to play cooking, hunting for cherries (we eat them up) and noni fruit. We use the noni fruit as material in cooking play.

In the afternoon, I watch television with my brother, grandma and mom. I usually take a bath in the rice field before heading home. During school holiday this time, I spent most of my time to play in the rice field.

The point of my story is that eventhough I have moved house, it does not mean I could not play in the rice field anymore. I even have more opportunities to spend my time in the rice field.
