One day, there was a mouse deer. He was thirsty so he wanted to drink on
the river.
When the mouse deer came next to the rive, a tiger approached him and wanted to
eat him. Of course the mouse deer tried to escape, but the tiger run faster and
caught him. In that dangerous situation the mouse deer thought hard how to
escape the tiger. Then he got idea and said to the tiger, “Listen! Your
mightiness and toughness are all great! But I have my own king. He has a
greater strength than yours! I am sure that nobody can match his powers!”
Because the tiger felt taunted, he declared that he would challenge the mouse
deer’s king.
Next the mouse lead the tiger to the river, and said, “Now Look at the water.
You will see my king” Foolishly the tiger looked in the river and surely saw
another tiger in the water. Then he growled, but the tiger in the river
imitated to growl too. Because of his too high self pride, the tiger
jumped into the water, and wanted to fight. He was believing there was another
tiger in the water.
The mouse deer took that opportunity to escape. After fighting with himself in
the river, the tiger realized that he was fooled by the mouse deer.
Arti Cerita
Kancil Dan Harimau dari Teks Bahasa Inggris
Suatu hari, ada seekor kancil. Dia merasa haus dan ingin minum di sungai.
Ketika kancil tiba di pinggir sungai itu, seekor harimau mendekat dan ingin
memakannya. Tentu saja kancil mencoba melarikan diri, namun harimau berjalan
lebih cepat dan menangkapnya. Dalam situasi berbahaya seperti itu, kancil
berpikir keras bagaimana cara untuk melepaskan diri dari harimau itu. Lalu ia
mendapat ide yang bagus dan berkata kepada harimau, "Dengar! Binatang yang
tangguh dan besar! Tapi saya punya raja sendiri. Dia memiliki kekuatan yang
lebih besar dari Anda! Saya yakin tidak ada yang bisa menandingi
kekuatannya!" Karena harimau merasa terhina, ia menyatakan bahwa ia akan
menantang raja kancil itu.
Maka kancil pun mengajak harimau ke sungai, dan berkata, "Sekarang
Lihatlah kedalam air itu. Anda akan melihat raja saya" Bodohnya harimau
itu, tentu saja ia melihat bayangan sekor harimau lain di sungai itu. Lalu ia
menggeram, dan harimau yang tampak di sungai juga ikut menggeram. Karena
kesombongan, harimau itu melompat ke dalam air untuk melawan. Ia percaya ada
harimau lain di dalam air sungai itu.
Kancil pun mengambil kesempatan yang baik itu untuk melarikan diri. Setelah
bertarung dengan bayangannya sendiri di sungai, harimau itu baru menyadari
bahwa ia tertipu oleh kancil.
