The Disciple – English Podcast – Della Marda Hakiky

  https://redaksi.pens.ac.id/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/The-Disciple-2.mp3 THE DISCIPLE When Narcissus died the pool of his pleasure changed from a cup of sweet waters into a cup of salt tears, and the Oreads came weeping through the woodland that they might sing to the pool and give it comfort. And when they saw that the pool had changed from a cup of sweet waters into a cup of salt tears, they loosened the green tresses of their hair and cried to the pool and said, `We do not wonder that you should mourn in this manner for Narcissus, so beautiful was he.’ `But was Narcissus beautiful?’ said the pool. `Who should know that better than you?’ answered the Oreads. `Us did he ever pass by, but you he sought for, and would lie on your banks and look down at you, and in the mirror of your waters he would mirror his own beauty.’ And the pool answered, `But I loved Narcissus because, as he lay on my banks and looked down at me, in the mirror of his eyes I saw ever my own beauty mirrored.’ source : https://americanliterature.com/author/oscar-wilde/poem/the-disciple...

The Dog The Cock and The Fox – English Podcast – Mayshella A.W

https://redaksi.pens.ac.id/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/the-dog-the-cock-and-the-fox.mp3 A Dog and a Cock, who were the best of friends, wished very much to see something of the world. So they decided to leave the farmyard and to set out into the world along the road that led to the woods. The two comrades traveled along in the very best of spirits and without meeting any adventure to speak of. At nightfall the Cock, looking for a place to roost, as was his custom, spied nearby a hollow tree that he thought would do very nicely for a night’s lodging. The Dog could creep inside and the...

The Wolf And The Lion

A Wolf had stolen a Lamb and was carrying it off to his lair to eat it. But his plans were very much changed when he met a Lion, who, without making any excuses, took the Lamb away from him. The Wolf made off to a safe distance, and then said in a much injured tone: “You have no right to take my property like that!” The Lion looked back, but as the Wolf was too far away to be taught a lesson without too much inconvenience, he said: “Your property? Did you buy it, or did the Shepherd make you a gift of it? Pray tell me, how did you get it?”   Source Story : https://americanliterature.com/author/aesop/short-story/the-wolf-and-the-lion...

The Dog and The Bees – English Podcast – Verent Flourencia Irene

https://redaksi.pens.ac.id/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/podcast_2110171006.mp3 A dog being very much annoyed by bees, ran quite accidently into an empty barrel lying on the ground, and looking out at the bung-hole, addressed his tormentors thus: “Had you been temperate, stinging me only one at a time, you might have got a good deal of fun out of me. As it is, you have driven me into a secure retreat; for I can snap you up as fast as you come in through the bung-hole. Learn from this the folly of intemperate zeal.” When he had concluded, he awaited a reply. There wasn’t any reply;...

The Night Came Slowly – English Podcast – Raka Arya Pratama

https://redaksi.pens.ac.id/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/THE-NIGHT-CAME-SLOWLY_01.mp3 The Night Came Slowly by Kate Chopin I am losing my interest in human beings; in the significance of their lives and their actions. Some one has said it is better to study one man than ten books. I want neither books nor men; they make me suffer. Can one of them talk to me like the night – the Summer night? Like the stars or the caressing wind? The night came slowly, softly, as I lay out there under the maple tree. It came creeping, creeping stealthily out of the valley, thinking I did not notice. And the...
