 * The Origin of the Tekko Indonesian Assignment**

**Q1.In what area/s of Indonesia is the story set {if the story tells you}?**

A. The story does not explain what area of Indonesia the story is set in, the main place is the Haji where Tekko went to.

**Q2. Describe/list the main characters.**


 * 1) 1. Tekko
 * 2) The Haji
 * 3) Tekko’s Mother

**Q3. Write A brief summary.**

A. The story, The Origin Of The Tekko is about a boy named Tekko who is not very smart and so his mother decides to send him to a Haji to learn some skills and discovers that this particular Haji as different to the rest, he used Tekko as a servent and taught him different skills. Tekko then learns how to roast 9 particular seeds on a fire.

**Q4. Is there a moral?**

A. I believe that this story does have a moral, practise makes perfect, I would say that because when Tekko is roasting the seeds on the fire, he finally cooks all nine seeds and does not miss one like he always did {practise makes perfect!!!!}

**Q5. What things about the characters, setting or style of story are different to other stories you know from other countries? What might these things tell us about this region of Indonesia, and/or about Indonesian customs, beliefs, cultures or history?**

A. I don’t notice anything in this story to be very different to other stories fro other countries. These types of stories are quite common, about what happens to people etc.

**Q6. Would you call this story a folk tale, a legend, a myth or fable? Why?**

A. I would call this story a fable as it is about a person who is doing something and not about something that may be true, or something weither you believe it or you don’t.
