EEL SEA AND SHRIMP

The ocean is full of very beautiful marine animals. In it there are sharks, clown fish, sea horses, sea shells, crabs, remora fish, sea turtles, sea eels, crabs, anemones, coral reefs, jellyfish and many more.

 One bright morning, there were a bunch of sea eels around the coral reefs.  They  were enjoy to talk.

“Hi red sea eel. Have you breakfast this morning?,” said the white sea eel

Red sea eel replied, “Well, I have been eating small fish around the coral reefs,”

“That’s sound good,”

“How about you white sea eel?,”

“I have not yet breakfast. I just want to look the jellyfish dance again like yesterday, you know it?,”

“Hurry up to breakfast you’ll get sick. Yes so do I, I want too,”

“Okay thanks friend. Yup maybe wait some minutes and they’ll performance. Where is sharks and remora? Today I don’t see them,”

“I don’t know where they are, why you ask me?,”

“Actually I’m jealous of their friendship. Sharks benefit due to impurities in his body cleaned by remora while remora getting food from shark’s body,” said the white sea eel

“Yes I also think like that. It’s same with the friendship of fish and anemones. Life among their mutual benefit,”

Finally their brief conversation that ended when the turtle comes,

“Hi, I saw a bunch of shrimp from the north,” said the turtle

“What are they doing here? They will make a mess,” comment the red sea eel

The atmosphere of the sea was an uproar because the presence of shrimp. Earlier in the area there was no shrimp live.

At nightfall, the sea eels usually sleep near the coral reef. They didn’t realize the presence of shrimp that approached them. When the sea ell was  evaporating, shrimp enter into the mouth of eel. After that they go back out and left that place.

The next day, the red sea eel woke up the first from the other. He felt his mouth feeling clean. The remnant of food in his teeth was clean. He would tell the other sea eels. They also felt the same.

“Who clean my teeth ?”,  said the white sea eel to all animals marine

Sea horse replied, “Last night I saw a bunch of shrimp near with you when you were sleeping,”

All sea eels didn’t trust the horse sea talk about, except the white sea eel that try to ask again to the crab.

“Yes, I’m sure I saw they but I don’t know where they go next,” answered the crab

Finally, the white sea eel realized of the good shrimp and soon find out the shrimp. Not long after the white sea eel found it.

“Hi the shrimps, where are you going?”, said white sea eel

“We’ll find a place where we can get food,” replied one of the shrimp with sadness

“Come with me, you’ll get the food and I also need your help,”

Finally, a bunch of shrimp met again with the sea eels. Apparently a bunch of shrimp moved from their home to look for food because their homes have no food again. Shrimps know that sea ells didn’t like with their presence.  But they were very hungry and they ate the remnant of food in sea eel’s teeth. Starting from it, the sea ells were finally realized that the shrimps helped clean their teeth. Now increase by one family of shrimp in there, creating a friendship between the sea eel and shrimp.

On a sunny morning,

Shrimp greeting, “Hi red sea eel, how are you this morning?,”

“I was very glad this morning. I had been eating lot of small fish around the coral reefs but now my teeth so dirty,” replied the red sea eel.

“Do you want if I clean your teeth?,”

“Certainly,” red sea eel delighted

Shrimp entered into the mouth of the red sea eel. The mouth of red sea ell was clean and shrimp get the food. Until now, the life of the sea eel and shrimp are interdependent. “Friendship is mutual benefit”

The Exotic Of Gawai Dayak

Gawai dayak is one of the cultural events tat held in Pontianak, Kalimantan Barat. It is one of the exotic event in this modern era, because it’s not only show the traditional ceremonies but also the traditional games, traditional foods and drinks and many more.

If we see from the content or the plate, gawak dayak is not purely traditional events, because it’s usually based on the development of our era. Now gawai dayak is the harvest ceremony, and it has a different name for each place in Kalimantan Barat, for example are : Hulu peoples say it with Gawai, Maka’ Dio’ in Sambas and Donge in Putusibau.

At the time, Gawai dayak is usually held in village, or locally call it Ketimanggungan. Gawai dayak has the exclusive food and beverage, for example : salika/poe’, tumpi’ (cu-cur) and many more. The food must be taken from the harvest storage, for example sauka/poe’ is taken from rice. A long of development in this era, Gawai dayak not only happen in village but also in several Bigcity, like : Pontianak and Sambas/Landak. Something that make Gawai dayak is so exotic is each year the dayakneseshow us the spectacular parade.

Gawai dayak is another name of post harvest celebration in west Kalimantan, over all gawai dayak  ceremonies is the same with naik dango (also the cultural event in Kalimantan Barat). Both of them are celebrating the success of post harvest and to celebrater/to thanks the healthy and safety from Jubata (a kind of God in Dayak believing). Besides that the Dayaknese hope the Jubata can increase the agricultural of food.

Before the events held, the dayaknese reciting the mantras or local people call it with nyangahathn. There are 18 steps of Gawai dayak ceremonies, and must be started by nyangahathn, the goal is to inform and ask blessing to Jubata, hope the parade/festival will be okay tomorrow. Nyangahatn takes 3 place : on the livingroom, is to summon the spirit /soul of rice that hasn’t been returned, on the granary is to gather the spirit and the last one is on the Jars of rice, is to survive/to blessing the rice and not run out quickly

.           Nyangahathn is the main step to express the religious part of Dayaknese/the symbol of religious ceremonies. There are 4 steps of Nyangahathn; matik, ngalantekatn, mibis and Ngadap Buis. Matik is to inform the family to ancestral spirit. Ngalantekatn is a hope to make all family still can be survived. Mibis is hope to make everything/something dirt can be clean and the last one is Ngadap Buis is a step to accepting the offerings (sesajen). But in this era, there is a simpliefied steps of Nyangahathn; it’s only the simpliefied pray and simpliefied offering (sesajen), this simpliefied Nyangahathn call Babamang.

            Gawai Dayak is taken from myth in Pontianak. The story of Banang Kulup. This story begins with a spring of rice in the mountain’s Jubata then there is a sparrow wich was stolen and fall into the hands of Jack. Then he comeback to his home with his spring of grass and his friends laugh to him. In the end of story Jubata runaway from his village because he got married with human.
