Gasing is a game that is made from wood that can be spinning it comes in many shape and size. Other than that gasing also have many type and each type have their own unique. For example the type of gasing such as gasing jantung, gasing piring, gasing kelamar, gasing telur, gasing berembang, gasing melayu, gasing cina, gasing buku benang dan gasing pinang.

For my story I want to show that the important of each part of the gasing that will make the gasing spinning perfectly and will spinning in a long time. This is some of my narrative for my story :

Introduction

In a village there is one boy name Abu. He has 2 best friend names Ah Seng and Mutthu. Every evening they will spend time together playing gasing. One day while they playing under a big tree in front of the house suddenly Abu’s mothers call him. She asks Abu to help her go to shop and buy some groceries for her. Abu leave his friend for a while.

Climax

While Abu goes to the shop his friend stops playing gasing and take a break. Meanwhile in the same time gasing, string, nail and Tapak Uri start taking to each other. They argue who is the most important part in a gasing game. Everyone wants to say that he is the most important part compare to each other. After that they start to fight to each other.

Ending

He explains to them that all of them are very important to make the gasing spin perfectly. They understand and befriend again. At the same time Abu comes back from the shop and get his friend back. They start playing the gasing game and they enjoy playing the game.

Closure

            Every situation that has been created has its own advantages and importance. like a top, they need each other to ensure that the top can spin properly if one of the top part of it is not perfect, it cannot be spinning tops with balanced.

REFLECTION

= From this task I know more about the history of the gasing and know the function of each part of the gasing.

= This task make me remember all the joy moment when I a little kid compare with nowadays majority the kid does not know what is gasing event they do not know how to play gasing. Kids nowadays always with their smart phone and I think it is not a healthy lifestyle.
