Playing in the Sugar Cane Fields

I was so playful when I was a kid. I personally believed that I had a lot of enjoyable moments at that time.

I lived in Sragi, a small village in the border of Pekalongan Regency. Sragi was famous of its sugar factory. Long time ago, Holland established the factory in my lovely village. No wonder, the surrounding of Sragi was full of sugar cane fields.
As a kid, I spent my day by playing all along the day. I had some close friends to play with. It was a windy day so my friends and I decided to play a kite. We went to the back of one of my friends’ house. There was a sugar cane field behind the house. We decided to play the kite there. The wind was so great as it could fly our kite easily. On the other side of the field, we could see another kite fly. Thus, a battle between our kite and their kite could not be avoided. Fortunately, we won the battle as their kite was cut. The kite flew down, it goes without saying. Then, we chased the kite since someone who caught the kite first would be the new owner of the kite. My friend could catch the kite, so he was the next owner of the kite. After that, we took a rest in the side of the sugar cane field. We ate some sugar canes to restore our stamina.

Playing with my friends was my favorite activity when I was a kid. It was extremely fun, I guess.
