Kunci Jawaban Bahasa Inggris Kelas 12 SMA Kurikulum Merdeka Hal. 34-36: Damak and The Black Hat

It was always on his head. When the sun was hot, it kept him cool.
When it rained, it kept his head dry. When he was tired he pulled it over his eyes, and he went to sleep. When the wind blew he pulled it down low to keep his head warm.

He said he would never give it away. He said he would keep it always. 
But he was wrong! He did not always keep it.

One day, when he was fishing, he heard a loud noise above him. Damak looked up. He cried out. But it was too late.

A great bird came down at him. Damak put up his arm to keep the bird away. But he did not hold onto his hat. The bird took his hat!

“My hat! My lovely black hat!” cried out Damak. “Drop it, Great Bird. Gave me back my hat.”

But birds don’t listen to words like that! It flew away. It was gone.

Damak ran after it as fast as he could. There were big stones, and the path was hard to follow. Up he went, high up into the hills.
At last he found the big bird. It was resting. It did not see him coming. The hat was beside it.

Up went Damak’s knife. Then down it came, hard. It went deep into the earth. But it did not hit the bird. It had missed it. The bird flew away, but it left the hat behind.

“It’s safe. I’ve got it again,” shouted Damak loudly.

Damak put his lovely hat back on his head. He took hold of his knife. But he could not move it. It would not come out. He pulled and he pulled. At last it was free.

What could he see in the hole it had made? Gold. Lovely shining stones made of gold.

Damak filled up his pockets with gold and he filled up his hat! He took so much that his legs would not carry him.

From that day on he was well-off. However, he still committed to guarding the sea in his area from illegal fishing.
