Read the story and answer the questions.

________________________________

Once upon a time, lived a man who caught fish at sea to support his living. One day, something heavy was entangled in his net. He cursed sarcastically. His face turned red. Then, he hauled his net and threw it carelessly as it was heavy. That was when he saw something yellowish and shiny.

“Gold chain, I’m lucky!” he screamed.

His eyebrows suddenly tilted. Then he said to himself, “ I should pull it more.”

He worked hard and part by part of the gold chain was pulled. His small boat started to sink because of the gold chain’s weight. He knew it as water started filling in his boat. Instead of stopping, he pulled faster and put it around his body. In a second, water rushed into his boat. It eventually capsized. The gold chain sank to the bottom of the sea. Helplessly, the man was drawn along.

Kunci jawaban:

• The best title for the story could be "The Greedy Fisherman." This is because the man's greed for the gold chain led him to ignore the danger, which ultimately caused his downfall.

• The man was a fisherman who caught fish at sea to make a living.

• The man cursed because something heavy got stuck in his net, and he was frustrated, thinking it would be a burden to deal with.

• The man seems to be greedy and impatient. Even though he realized the gold chain was too heavy and dangerous, he continued to pull it in without thinking about the consequences, driven by his desire for wealth.

• The boat capsized because the gold chain was too heavy, and as the man continued to pull it, the weight caused the boat to fill with water and eventually sink.

• The moral lesson of the story is that greed can lead to destruction. The man’s greed for the gold chain made him ignore the risks, leading to the loss of his boat and life.

• If I were the man, I would have stopped pulling the gold chain once I noticed it was too heavy and endangering my boat. It’s important to know when to let go of something that could cause harm, even if it seems valuable.
