The school holiday season has arrived and it is commonplace for students to fill their vacation time by traveling and traveling out of town. To fill the school holidays, some students take the time off to take a break after several months of struggling with lessons. In addition to taking a break, some students fill it with fun things. such as enjoying hobbies, cooking in the river with friends, camping, visiting museums, visiting grandma's house in the village and so on.
In filling the school holidays which are usually two weeks, a 6 year old boy named Angel fills his spare time with mountain climbing activities with his father who is a former student who loves nature. This mountain climbing activity was not Angel's plan, but his father's plan with the aim of introducing Angel to the outside world as well as educating Angel to be closer to nature so that a sense of love and care for nature grows from an early age.
The planned day has arrived, the Sun smiles giving a morning greeting in love with a burst of yellow light. You can see a view of a fresh green mountain covered in fog. The blue sky in the sky with its light blue without being covered by clouds.
"It's a very sunny morning, Dad," said Angel
"Very bright and very happy, this will be the first experience to fill school holidays by climbing mountains," answered Angel's father.
In the arms of the thick fog that continues to envelop all the way up. With a hard struggle and without being stuck with a sense of surrender. It doesn't feel like reaching the top of the hill. How happy Angel's heart was seen from the look on his face, although he was a little tired in reaching the top of the hill. Climbing the hill for the first time he did. He looked at the beautiful view of the mountain.
There are green weeds all the way up the hill. How beautiful the mountain is that makes the angel's heart stunned at the sign of God's greatness. Gratitude is spoken from his mouth for all the beauty of His very great creation.
"Oh God, your creation is really beautiful, help us to take care of it" Angel said softly
In the midst of continuing the ascent, the angel along the way looks enthusiastic while singing his favorite song, The Itsy Bitsy Spider. For some reason, maybe because of the fun, Angel suddenly tripped over a tree root and fell.
""Ouch!" His screams broke the silence of the mountains.
The boy was very surprised when he heard a voice in the distance imitated the exact same scream, "Ouch!"
What a child, he shouted again, "Hey, who are you?" and the answer that was heard was
"Hey, who are you?"
Annoyed that his voice was imitated, the boy shouted "You coward!"
Again he was surprised when the voice from there replied with the same curse. He asked his father, "what happened, father?"
With full wisdom, the father smiled, "My son, try to pay attention"
The father said loudly, “I admire you!” a voice in the distance replied, “I admire you!”
Once again the father shouted “You are a fighter, you are smart, you are a champion!” And the voice answered again, “You are a fighter, you are smart, you are a champion!”
Angel was surprised, even so he still did not understand. Then the father explained, "The sound is an Echo, but really that is LIFE".
"Life provides feedback on all your words and actions, son," explained the father. “In other words, our life is a reflection or shadow of our actions. If you want to get a lot of love in this world, then create love in your heart. If you want your work team to have high abilities, then increase the ability within yourself. Life will give back everything you have given to it. Remember my son, life is not a coincidence, but a reflection of yourself," said the father.
Hearing the words of the angel's father seemed to understand a little, and finally they continued their journey uphill with enthusiasm.
The End
