A Greedy Deer
A deer and an elk were on the edge of the forest. They were very hungry and looking for the fruits. Apparently, there were no fruits that they could pick because at the edge of the forest there were only a few trees. A few minutes later, the deer asked the elk to go into the forest and took the foods, because there were big trees that always had so many fruits.
When they were in the forest, they found a lot of trees with heavy fruits. However, the fruit have not been ripe yet, so it could not be consumed. The deer were very hungry so he asked the elk to eat without worry. The elk refused and forbade the deer to consume the raw fruit. The elk said that the raw fruit could cause stomach ache.
Nevertheless, he still ate those raw fruit and ignored the advice from the elk. He thought that the fruit was a healthy meal even though it was still raw. He consumed all of the raw fruits and after that he felt very satisfied.
Suddenly, the monkey and the giraffe come with many fruits that were ripe and tasted so sweet. They said that there were no ripe fruits in this forest, so they looked for the food in another forest. The deer and the elk were very happy because they were given the delicious food by monkey and giraffe. However, when the deer wanted to eat the fruits, he felt the soreness in his stomach.
He said “Owh, my stomach is so hurt, my stomach is hurt”. Then the elk replied “you have stomach ache because you did not obey my advice, you continued to eat the raw fruit while I have warned you not to eat it”.
The deer finally eat a very bitter medicine to stop the pain, meanwhile, the elk, the monkey, and the giraffe ate the delicious food together.
Artinya :
Kancil yang Tamak
Kancil dan rusa sedang berada di tepi hutan. Mereka sangat lapar dan sedang mencari buah-buahan. Tampaknya, tidak ada buah yang bisa mereka petik karena di tepi hutan hanya terdapat sedikit pepohonan. Beberapa menit kemudian, kancil mengajak rusa untuk mencari makanan ke dalam hutan karena di dalam hutan terdapat pohon yang besar-besar dan tentu saja banyak buah matang yang bisa diambil.
Ketika mereka berada di dalam hutan, mereka menemukan banyak sekali pohon dengan buah yang lebat. Namun, buah-buahan tersebut belum matang sehingga tidak dapat dikonsumsi. Kancil sangat lapar sehingga ia mengajak rusa untuk mengkonsumsi buah tersebut. Ajakannya ditolak oleh rusa dan rusa melarangnya untuk mengkonsumsi buah mentah tersebut. Rusa mengatakan bahwa buah mentah dapat menyebabkan sakit perut.
Kendati demikian, ia tetap memakan buah tersebut dan tidak memperdulikan nasehat dari rusa. Ia berpikir bahwa buah merupakan makanan yang sehat meskipun belum matang. Ia menghabiskan berbagai macam buah-buahan mentah dan setelah itu ia merasa sangat kenyang.
Tiba-tiba, monyet dan jerapah datang membawa berbagai macam buah-buahan yang sudah matang dan rasanya begitu manis. Mereka mengatakan bahwa tidak ada buah-buahan yang matang di hutan ini, sehingga mereka mencari makanan di hutan lain. Kancil dan rusa sangat senang karena mereka diberikan makanan lezat oleh monyet dan jerapah. Namun, ketika akan memakan buah-buahan matang tersebut, kancil merasa bahwa perutnya begitu sakit.
Ia berkata “owh, perutku sakit, aku tidak mampu menahannya, perutku sakit sekali”. Kemudian rusa menjawab “perutmu sakit karena kau tidak mematuhi nasehatku, kau terus memakan buah mentah sementara aku telah memperingatkanmu untuk tidak memakannya”.
