Worms And A Caterpillar Story (Indonesian)

Tujuh ekor cacing baru saja selesai sarapan paginya di sebuah pohon yang besar dekat sungai. Mereka sedang akan meninggalkan pohon itu kembali ke rumah mereka. Ibu mereka berjalan dengan senang di depan mereka.

“Ayo anak-anak. Mari kita pulang ke rumah,” kata Ibu Cacing.

Dalam perjalanan pulang mereka, seekor jangkrik berteriak,”Ya Tuhan! Anak terakhirmu jelek sekali!”

“Jelek?” Tanya Ibu Cacing. Kemudian dia melihat ke anak terakhirnya. Dia tidak sama dengan anak-anak lainnya.

“Hei Jelek!” teriak Ibu Cacing, “kamu bukan anakku. Pergi!”

Cacing kecil menundukkan kepalanya dan berjalan pergi. Dia sangat sedih. Ketika dia sampai ke sebuah danau, dia melihat ke air dan melihat wajahnya.

“Oh lihatlah diriku. Aku memang benar sangat jelek,” dia menangis.

Tiba-tiba, cacing kecil itu mendengar suara.

“Kamu tidak jelek. Tidak ada orang yang jelek,” kata suara itu.

Cacing itu melihat sekitarnya. Kemudian dia melihat seekor ulat besar bersama anak-anaknya yang tampak sama seperti dia.

“Terima kasih Tuhan, aku menemukanmu anakku. Aku telah mencarimu kemana-mana. Dengarkan aku, anakku. Orang boleh mengatakan kamu jelek,” Kata Ibu Ulat, “tapi untukku, kamu adalah anak yang paling cantik.”

“Bisakah kamu melihat kupu-kupu yang cantik itu?” Tanya Ibu Ulat.

“Iya saya bisa,” jawab cacing kecil itu.

“Suatu hari sayangku, kamu akan berubah menjadi kupu-kupu yang cantik, sama seperti mereka,” jelas Ibu Ulat.

 

 

Cacing kecil itu akhirnya tahu bahwa dia adalah ulat dan merasa sangat bahagia telah mengetahuinya.

The Smartest Creature (Indonesian)

Pada suatu ketika, ada seorang petan dari Laos. Setiap pagi dan malam dia membajak sawahnya dengan kerbaunya.

Suatu hari, seekor harimau melihat petani dan kerbaunya bekerja di sawah. Sang harimau sangat terkejut melihat makhluk besar itu menuruti perintah makhluk kecil. Harimau ingin tahu lebih tentang makhluk besar dan kecil itu.

Setelah petani itu pulang, harimau itu bertanya kepada si kerbau, “kamu begitu besar dan kuat. Kenapa kamu melakukan semua yang orang itu perintahkan kamu?” Si kerbau menjawab ,”oh, orang itu sangatlah pintar.”

Harimau itu bertanya,”bisakah kamu memberitahuku betapa pintar orang itu?”

“Tidak, aku tidak bisa memberitahumu,”kata si kerbau, “tapi kamu bisa bertanya padanya.”

Jadi keesokan harinya sang harimau bertanya kepada petani, “Bisakah aku melihat kepintaranmu?”

Tetapi sang petani menjawab, “kepintaranku ada di rumah”.

“Bisakah kamu pergi dan mengambilnya?” pinta si harimau.

“Bisa,”jawab si petani, “tapi aku takut kamu akan memakan kerbauku ketika aku sedang tidak ada. Bisakah aku mengikatmu di pohon?”

Setelah si petani mengikat si harimau di pohon, dia tidak pergi ke rumah untuk mengambil kepintarannya. Dia mengambil cangkul dan memukul si harimau. Kemudian dia berkata,”Sekarang kamu tahu kepintaranku meskipun kamu belum melihatnya!”

The Smartest Creature (English)

Once upon a time, there was a farmer from Laos. Every morning and every evening, he ploughed his field with his buffalo.

One day, a tiger saw the farmer and his buffalo working in the field. The tiger was very surprised to see a big creature listening to a small creature. The tiger wanted to know more about the big and the small creatures.

After the man went home, the tiger spoke to the buffalo, “you are so big and strong. Why do you do everything the man tells you?” The buffalo answered, “oh, the man is very intelligent”.

The tiger asked; “can you tell me how intelligent he is?”

“No, I can’t tell you”, said the buffalo; “but you can ask him”

So the next day the tiger asked to the man, “Can I see your intelligence?”

But the man answered, “It is at home. “

“Can you go and get it?” asked the tiger.

“Yes” said the man; “but I am afraid you will kill my buffalo when I am gone. Can I tie you to a tree?”

After the man tied the tiger to the tree, he didn’t go home to get his intelligence. He took his plough and hit the tiger. Then he said, “Now you know about my intelligence even you haven’t seen it.”

A Wolf & A Goat Story (Indonesian)

Seekor serigala melihat seekor kambing sedang merumput di tepi tebing tinggi yang curam.

Serigala itu menyentuh bibirnya dengan pikiran seekor kambing yang mantap untuk makan malam.

“Wahai temanku,”kata serigala itu dengan suara termanisnya, “apakah kamu tidak takut jatuh dari tebing itu? Turunlah ke sini dan merumput di rumput-rumput yang nikmat di sebelahku pada permukaan yang rata dan aman.

“Tidak, terima kasih,”kata si kambing.

“Baiklah,”kata serigala, “apakah kamu tidak dingin diatas sana karena angin? Kamu akan merasa lebih hangat merumput di bawah sini di sebelah ku di area yang teduh.”

“Tidak, terima kasih,”kata kambing.

“Tapi rasa rumputnya lebih baik di bawah sini,”kata serigala yang jengkel, “kenapa makan sendirian?”

“Serigala yang terhormat,”si kambing akhirnya berkata ,”apakah kamu cukup yakin bahwa yang kamu khawatirkan adalah makanan ku dan bukan makananmu?”
