I said to Tika on the slow boat, “It’s alright Tik, it won’t be so hot and stuffy once we get moving.”
When we got to Gili Air it is still quiet so we were able to get a bungalow near the beach for about $15 a night plus breakfast. We shared our room with a quite number of geckoes. Some of them are quite large ones.
The weather was still hot when I went diving. Tika waited for me at the seashore. She observed fishermen who had just caught some fish. She didn’t 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 watch the waves and the star. It’s a fantastic journey that I have ever had.

It was early in the morning when we left Ubud and travelled to Gili Air which is one of three islands of Lombok. It took four hours in total by boat. The travelling was not bad but it was a hot day. I said to Tika on the slow boat, “It’s alright Tik, it won’t be so hot and stuffy once we get moving.”
When we got to Gili Air it is still quiet so we were able to get a bungalow near the beach for about $15 a night plus breakfast. We shared our room with a quite number of geckoes. Some of them are quite large ones.
The weather was still hot when I went diving. Tika waited for me at the seashore. She observed fishermen who had just caught some fish. She didn’t 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 watch the waves and the star. It’s a fantastic journey that I have ever had.

friendship
Two inseparable friends, Sam and Jason, met with an accident on their way to Boston City. The following morning, Jason woke up blind and Sam was still unconscious. Dr. Berkeley was standing at his bedside looking at his health chart and medications with a thoughtful expression on his face. When he saw Sam awake, he beamed at him and asked." How are you feeling today Sam?" Sam tried to put up a brave face and smiled back saying, "absolutely wonderful Doctor
. I am very grateful for all that you have done for me. "Dr Berkeley was moved at Sam's deed. All that he could say was, "You are a very brave man Sam and God will make it up to you in one way or another". While he was moving on to the next patient, Sam called back at him almost pleading, "promise me you won't tell Jason anything".
"You know I won't do that. Trust me." and walked away.
"Thank you " whispered Sam. He smiled and looked up in prayer " I hope I live up to your ideas...please give me the strength to be able to go through this..Amen"
Months later when Jason had recuperated considerably, he stopped hanging around with Sam. He felt discouraged and embarrassed to spend time with a disabled person like Sam.
Sam was lonely and disheartened ,since he didn't have any body else other than Jason to count on. Things went from bad to worse. And one day Sam died in despair. When Jason was called on his burial, he found a letter waiting for him. Dr Berkeley gave it to him with an expressionless face and said" This is for you Jason. Sam had asked me to give it to you when he was gone".
In the letter he had said: " Dear Jason, I have kept my promise in the end to lend you my eyes if anything had happened to them. Now there is nothing more that I can ask from God, than the fact ,that will see the world through my eyes. You will always be my best friend........Sam".
When he had finished reading Dr. Berkeley said " I had promised Sam to keep his sacrifice he made a secret from you. But now I wish I didn't stick it Because I don't think It was worthy it" .
All that was left for Jason while he stood there was tears of regret and memories of Sam for the rest of his life .

the wolf and the lamb
One day the wolf was slaking his thirst at a stream when he chanced to see a lamb, also drinking, at some distance down the stream.
Outraged, he growled, You are muddying my drinking water, now I shall eat you.
The lamb protested, But, Sir, how can I be muddying your drinking water? I am farther down stream than you are. The water is flowing from your part of the stream to where I am.
Upstream or downstream, your drinking is muddying my water, and I shall eat you. So saying, the wolf leaped upon the lamb and devoured him.
