Opa Johan May Look Like A Scarecrow
Do you remember when Kartini said “Your puffs don’t rise. Mine rises and is as big as a tennis ball but yours is as small and as soft as a turtle egg.” But I insist that your puffs are the most delicious. Melting on your tongue like cream, though it might not be very pleasing to the eye.
Hearing her exquisite voice on CD I fancied her as a slender beautiful little angel. Seeing her in a picture: a corpulent lady.
Did you ever ride in Krisanty’s car? It is old, worn, faded from the outside, but its engine is powerful.
So, I may look like a scarecrow but inside am I “jempolan”, (as he raises up his thump), ha, ha, ha. Aren’t you proud of your husband?
What, which, whom do you choose, like? (Remember, this is Indonesian English)
