Si kancil dan Buaya
One day, Mouse Deer went down to the river to take a drink. But he knew that the crocodile might be waiting underwater to eat him, so he said out loud. “I wonder if the water’s warm. I’ll put in my leg and find out.” Of course Mouse Deer didn’t put in his leg. He picked up a stick instead and put one end into the water. Chomp…! Crocodile grabbed the stick and pulled it underwater. Mouse Deer laughed. “Ha… ha…ha… Stupid crocodile! Can't you tell the difference between a stick and a leg?” Then Mouse Deer ran off to drink somewhere else.
In the next day, Mouse Deer wanted to cross the river. He wanted to eat the fruits on the other side of the river. He saw a floating log in the river. He knew that Crocodile looked like a log when he floated. Mouse Deer didn’t want to be eaten by Crocodile when he crosses the river. He had an idea. He called out loud, “Crocodile!” Crocodile rose from the water, “Hello, Mouse Deer. Have you come to be my lunch?” Mouse Deer smiled. “Sorry, not today, Crocodile. I have orders from the King. He wants to invite all the crocodiles in this river to a party. He wants me to count all the crocodiles so he could prepare enough meal for you.”
“Really…? Tell us what to do,” said Crocodile. “You must line up from this side of the river to the other side,” said Mouse Deer. Crocodile then got all his friends and family. They lined up across the river. Mouse Deer then jumped onto Crocodile’s back. “One,” he counted. He jumped onto the next crocodile, “Two.” And the next crocodile, “Three.” Mouse Deer kept jumping until he arrived on the other side of the river. “How many are there?” asked Crocodile. “Just enough,” said Mouse Deer. He laughed as he ran to the forest.***
The Fable of Birds and Tortoise(dongeng burung dan kura-kura)
Once upon a time, there was a big feast in the sky, all the birds were
invited to a feast by the people of the sky. Tortoise was very clever
and very hungry and as soon as it heard about the great feast, it began
to plan how it would travel to the sky.
Tortoise went to the birds home and asked if it could go with them. The
birds agreed and they each give it a feather, with which it made a pair
of wings for the Tortoise.
The great day came, and Tortoise and the birds set off on their journey to the sky.
Finally, the birds and Tortoise arrived at the party. The people of the
sky invited the birds to eat the delicious food they had prepared, but
then Tortoise asked, “For whom have you prepared this feast?”
“for you, because you are special animals,” replied the people on the sky.
Tortoise turned in the birds and said, “Remember i am is the most
special animal, cause i am the only on Tortoise who can fly. You will
eat after me.”
The birds waited angrily as Tortoise ate and drank most of the feast.
Then they came forward to eat, but a few of them were too angry to eat.
Before flying home, each bird took back the feather it had lent Tortoise
unnoticely. So, there Tortoise stood full of food and drink, but
without any wings to fly home.
When the feast is over, birds and Tortoise jumped back go home, but the
tortoise was surprised because he lost his wings. So, the Tortoise fell
and fell and fell and landed with a great crash on the ground. It wasn’t
hurt but its shell broke into pieces. fortunately, there was a good
doctor in the neighbourhood. Tortoise’s wife sent for him and he
collected all the bits of Tortoise’s shell and stuck them together. That
is why, Tortoise’s shell is not smooth.
