The Promise of Firetruck Gede

“Ethan mau firetruck gede”

It was the beginning of new school year. Dad made a deal with you: Dad promise to buy the big firetruck, as long as you diligently go to school. What dad mean by diligent?

1. Wake up early to go to school
2. Change from sleep to school attire
3. Walk from car to your class by yourself.

And so, begin the long waiting period. On one occasion, you asked for the firetruck that you once climb on. Where should we parked that firetruck? On another time, at a visit to toys’ shop, you would point to every firetruck that you can find, while saying: “Ethan mau firetruck gede.” As time pass, you started to come out with specific features that you expect from firetruck gede:

1. One which has sirens and blinking light: Ninoninonino
2. One which ladder can extend: Zuuutttt
3. One with water hose that can spray water: Zuuussshhhh

After close to 4 months, after diligently go to school, you earned your prize: Firetruck gede. Just how big the firetruck is, look at the picture below

It also has sirens and interchangeable blinking light. And the ladder is extendable and long enough to reach the top of Emak’s stove.

And finally, a water hose that can spray water. It has a hole where you can put water in. And a pump that once primed, can spray water to Emak’s plants.

Now, on the side note, Dad thinks that you start to grow out of firetruck. I think that this would be your ultimate firetruck collection, before you move on to another big car. Enjoy your present, you have earned it.
