Expect the Unexpected

They say that fortune favors the bold, but I am apt to think that fortune favors those who are hardworking even more. Therefore I have included this quality of diligence for this episode. 

Are you hardworking? Yes, I think you are because you have taken effort to learn Malay online by listening to this Uplifting and Inspirational Podcast Series.

We shall make sentences with the Malay word for hardworking and go through the different sentence variations.  

Joy to Our World

I am hardworking!

寒い冬が北方から、狐の親子の すんでいる森へもやってきました。

ある朝 洞穴から子供の狐が出ようとしましたが、

　「あっ」

と 叫んで目を抑えながら 母さん狐のところへ ころげてきました。

　「母ちゃん、目に何か刺さった、ぬいてちょうだい 早く早く」

と言いました。
母さん狐がびっくりして、あわてふためきながら目を抑えている子供の手を
恐る恐る とりのけてみましたが、何も刺さってはいませんでした。

母さん狐は洞穴の入口から外へ出て はじめて わけが わかりました。
昨夜のうちに、真白な雪がどっさり降ったのです。
その雪の上から お陽さまがキラキラと照らしていたので、雪は眩しいほど反射していたのです。
雪を知らなかった子供の狐は、あまり強い反射をうけたので、目に何か刺さったと思ったのでした。
