3 My name is Denny. My dad helps out small farms. This summer we went to the country of Bali. That is an island in the Indian Ocean. Kids don t speak English there. They speak Indonesian.

4 My new friend Ketut taught me to say makanan. It means food. Mom and Dad didn t learn any Indonesian words at first. I helped them out a lot. The food there was good. We ate fried rice, chicken, and ice cream. And you can eat with your fingers. Everyone in Indonesia does that, except Mom and Dad. 4 5

5 In Bali our house was called a rumah. The front door was a gate in a big wall. We had a beautiful garden to play in. In a rumah all the rooms stand alone. The kitchen is one building. The bathroom is another building. The living room has no walls. My bedroom was like my own little house. At first it was scary. But I started to like it. 6 7

6 In Bali, you go to a temple, not a church. Families drive motorcycles, not cars. Ketut s family took us to a temple. There was a puppet show at the temple. It lasted all night long. I fell asleep. It was still the best night of our Bali summer. 8 9

7 Now I am back in California. I am in second grade. I fit in here. I dress like my friends. I eat with a knife and fork. The bathroom is down the hall. But now I miss being the new kid. I remember Bali. I was the new kid there. It was somewhere that I was someone special. That makes me feel good
