It
was early in the morning we left Ubud and travelled to Gili Air which is one of
three islands of Lombok. It took 4 hours in total by boat. The travelling was
not bad but it was a hot day. I said to Jane on the slow boat " It`s
alright babe, it won`t be so hot and stuffy once we get moving.”
When
we got to Gili Air it was still quite so we were able to get a bungalow near
the beach for about $ 15 a night plus breakfast. We shared our room with quite
a number of geckos. Some of them were quite large ones.
The
weather was still hot when I went diving. Jane waited for me at the seashore.
She observed some fishermen who had just caught some fish. She did not want to
dive because she had a trauma with sea animals. We had three days here which we
spent walking around the island which takes about an hour. Every night, we sat
on the couches near the beach and watched the waves and the stars.
It
was a fantastic journey that I ever had.

A man with his
donkey carrying two sacks of wheat was on his way to the market. After a little
while he was tired and they rested under a tree.
When
he woke up from his nap he could not see the donkey and started searching for
the donkey everywhere. On the way he met a boy, he asked the boy, “Have you
seen my donkey?” The boy asked, “Is the donkey’s left eye blind, his right foot
lame and is he carrying a load of wheat?” The man was happy and said, “Yes,
exactly! Where have you seen it?” the boy answered “I haven’t seen it.” This
made the man very angry and he took the boy to the village chief for
punishment.
The
judge asked, “Dear boy, if you had not seen at the donkey, how could you
describe it?” The boy answered, “I saw the tracks of a donkey and the right and
left tracks were different from this I understood that the donkey that passed
there was limping. And the grass on the right side of the road was eaten but
the grass on the left was not. From that I understood that his left eye was
blind. There were wheat seeds scattered on the ground and I understood that he
must have been carrying a load of wheat. The judge understood the boy’s
cleverness and told the man to forgive the boy.
