This is the story of Jupiter, Juno, and Little Io

Jupiter was the king of all the gods. Ably assisted by his two brothers, Pluto (who Jupiter put in charge of the underworld) and Neptune (who Jupiter put in charge of the seas), Jupiter ruled the heavens, the earth, and all life. No god was more powerful than Jupiter. And no major decision was made without Jupiter's approval.

It was nice being in charge, but sometimes Jupiter found things a bit boring.

Jupiter thought about what he could do.

He could turn himself into an octopus and visit his brother Neptune under the sea, but he didn't feel much like a swim.

He could visit Pluto under the earth, but Pluto was such a gloomy fellow.

He could hurl thunderbolts, but it wasn't much fun without a target.

He could hunt up one of the other gods. But the truth was, all the other gods were terrified of Jupiter. He did have a terrible temper, but only when someone lied to him. Since the gods often lied, they mostly avoided Jupiter.

He could call for his wife, Juno. But the truth was, Juno was very busy. It was nearing the day of her festival (March 1st), when all the married women in Rome celebrated her and thanked her for all she did for them. Juno was busy whispering suggestions in many a matron's ear.

Jupiter almost never visited earth. But he did watch over it. From the heavens, Jupiter spotted two men walking along a lane. Jupiter threw his voice down to earth, making it sound like someone speaking. He was very good at that.

"Hey stupid," Jupiter cast his voice loudly, hoping to start a fight.

One man turned to the other angrily. "What did you say?" And before you could say Jupiter, the two men were fighting. Jupiter found that very funny.




A glint on the river caught his eye. It was Io, a lovely river nymph.

"What a lovely young woman," Jupiter said.

Jupiter covered heaven and earth with some really thick clouds and brought Io up to visit him.  The thick coat of clouds made Juno suspicious.

Jupiter looked up. "It's Juno!" he blinked.

Quickly, Jupiter changed Io into a cow. When Juno appeared by his side, all she found was an innocent looking Jupiter standing next to a little white cow.

"This little cow appeared out of nowhere," he told his wife, acting surprised.

Juno wasn't fooled. "What a beautiful cow," she gushed admiringly. "May I have it as a present?"

Jupiter had to agree. Juno sent the cow away under guard.

Jupiter arranged for Io to be rescued and set free. He sent his son Apollo to sing the guard asleep. When the guard closed his eyes, Apollo flew Io back to her river. But he forgot to change Io back into human form.    

When Juno heard that Io had escaped, she sent a gadfly after Io. A gadfly is a fly that bites.

"Moo moo," Io screamed, when the gadfly found her.

Io swam awkwardly to the mouth of the river, where it joins the sea, hoping the gadfly would not follow her. (Cows are not the best of swimmers.)

"Moo moo," Io screamed, when the gadfly found her again.

Feeling very sorry for herself, a dispirited Io traveled next to Egypt.

Egypt was a dismal place for a river nymph. There are no crocodiles in the Tiber as there are in the Nile. When Juno heard about it, she flew to Egypt and changed Io back into human form.

"Thank you, Juno!" Io cried humbly.

"Yes, well," mumbled Juno, her mind on her festival. "Find a husband, child." She flew quickly away, leaving poor Io in Egypt.

Io, after all, was a river nymph. Sighing heavily all the way, Io swam home.

Analytical Exposition

BANDUNG SHOULD NOT BUILD NEW ROADS

Do not agree because it will only create new problems will disappear as its catchment area, due to the reduction of green land which is used for road construction, we shall in the repair of existing roads in tailored to our needs because with it we can also suppress biaaya we spend so much money in building roads dikeuluarkan because it has a long process to be used till the moment, ranging from eviction, road construction, etc.. And it will only lead to eviction polematika barusa just like it is only going to make the numbers grow bum, because maybe they do not have to stay where tu then again that is the goal that eventually the street. Back again to the loss of green land road construction also will reduce the only green area in this city and it will create new problems

              There are many things that confused people in Bandung. One of those problems is bad quality of road problem. Yeah Bandung is a big city which contains million people, and to satisfying the needs of good service, the governments have a plan to build a new road. I think there are other ways to improve in that case. At least, there are two things why Bandung should not build new road.

Firstly, there are already many roads in Bandung. As we can see, Bandung has a lot of road, but none of it is efficient. Road in Bandung is an old Netherlands made and has it function based on Netherlands government. If we prepare to build a new road, what about our children? Will they have a house? I think not. What we can do today is to improve the efficiency of this old road.

Secondly, we have limited money. Bandung maybe have a lot of money, but should we use that money only to make another road? I think that unnecessary. There are a lot of problem in this city and we must use the government should use that money wisely for improve this city.

In conclusion, Bandung doesn’t need to build new road because we can use that money to solve other problem in this city, and we can improve the efficiency of existing road in Bandung. We must hink wisely before do something. Maybe we can do something more important than build another road
