English text follows.
Ayah saya membelikan saya buku ini hampir sepuluh tahun lalu ketika saya masih duduk di sekolah dasar. Sampai sekarang saya masih membacanya sebagai referensi sastra yang baik.

This is a book for children. But this book is a good literature reference for adults too. Everyone can learn by this book.
