My funniest moment

 My funniest moment

    My funniest moment began when I started with my story with my classmate who had just returned from athletic training. On the way, who knows who started first, we argue about who is faster to run because both of us no one would give up. Finally we decided to test it by running as far as a block (100 meters). At that time, about 6 o’clock in the evening and the situation was quite the doom and gloom.

     We took their positions and 1... 2... 3... My friend and I ran ‘sprint’ as soon as possible. Obviously we are both balanced and as fast.

     A few meters from the end of the block (which is the finish line) suddenly a guard on patrol in each block chased us. The guard ran quickly and are just a few meters behind us.

    I wonder. Why the guard was chasing the two of us. We tried to run as fast as possible for fear caught by the guard. I’ve had no time to think and as I nervously ran to 5 blocks with my friend earlier. The guard strong enough because he still followed us. Though I’ve been tried but I still running.  Past the sixth block of the two of us are not hard to run and we fatigue.

     Finally at the junction of the small lanes we both stopped and sighs of fatigue. A few minutes later the guard also arrived at our place and he stopped with a gasping breath. The three of us were silent for a few seconds, respectively unwind. Finally after a relatively quiet, with a wonder that I asked the guard

“Uncle, why do we pursue?”

The guard looked bewildered, may still be confusion and fatigue. The guard replied in a thick Javanese.

“Lha koe wong loro mlayu ok aku yo melu, lha kiro nek ono opo ngono”

Meaning.
“Just now I saw you two ran so fast. I think there is anything that happens. So I go away too...

This story told by my brother.
