Venice is a city in northern Italy. It has been known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”, “City of
Bridges”, and “The City of Light”. The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy
Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.
Venice is world famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 117 islands
formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are
connected by about 400 bridges. In the old centre, the canals serve the function of roads, and
every form of transport is on water or on foot.
You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which nowadays is mostly
used for tourists, or weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. Now, most Venetians travel by
motorised waterbuses which ply regular routes along the major canals and between the city’s
islands. The city has many private boats. The only gondolas still in common use by Venetians
are the Traghetti, foot passenger ferries crossing the Grand Canal at certain points without
bridges.

Once a fisherman named Batara Guru Sahala lived in Batakland. One day, he caught a fish.

accordingly.
As soon as the fish was free, it changed into a woman. She was so beautiful that the
fisherman fell in love with her at once. He asked her to marry him. The woman agreed to
marry Sahala. However, she told him that he must never let out the secret that she was once
