The Legend Of Rawa Pening

Finally, a generous woman helped him. She gave him shelter and a meal. When the boy wanted to leave, this old woman gave him a “lesung”, a big wooden mortar for pounding rice. She reminded him, “please remember, if there is a flood you must save yourself. Use this “lesung” as a boat”. The “lesung” was happy and thanked the old woman.

The little boy continued his journey. While he was passing through the village, he saw many people gathering on the field. The boy came closer and saw a stick stuck in the ground. People challenged each other to pull out that stick. Everybody tried, but nobody succeeded. “Can I try?” asked the little boy. The crowd laughed mockingly. The boy wanted to try his luck so he stepped forward and pulled out the stick. He could do it very easily. Everybody was dumbfounded.

Suddenly, from the hole left by stick, water spouted out. It did not stop until it flooded the village. And no one was saved from the water except the little boy and the generous old woman who gave him shelter and meal. As she told him, he used the “lesung” as a boat and picked up the old woman. The whole village became a huge lake. It is now known as Rawa Pening Lake in Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia.

How Body Reacts to Heat

When we are in a very hot condition, we have so many risks of heatstroke. This case is often found in athletes and people who work in summer.

Heatstroke comes all of a sudden and uncontrolled rise in body temperature. It is a reaction of human body for not being able to replace fluid lost through respiration. If the lost fluids are not replaced, dehydration will occurs and leads to a decrease in blood.

The body must decide whether to give blood to the main organs or skin. The body tends to give it to the main organ because it is very important as a chain reaction, the body loses ability to sweat; therefore it cannot cool itself. The lack of blood and inability to produce sweat causes over heat.

If it keeps staying, it will cause permanent injury. It is one way to protect heat.
