Once upon a time, there was a dog which felt so hungry. The dog ran as long as outskirts of beach and found a cave. In the cave, the dog found a sea-urchin. The dog and the sea-urchin fight then the dog won the war and eat a half of the sea-urchin. The dog got out from the cave and found the dog’s owner (His name is Arjasangku, since this article texted, He still alive and often stay at park area) realized that his dog has eaten a sea-urchin because in the dog’s mouth remain pigswill.
