Once upon time there were a smart mouse deer. He lived near a river. The
mouse deer used to go to the river to drink.
One day, the mouse deer was thirsty. He wanted to drink in the river but he
knew that crocodiles were staying and waiting underwater to eat him. He thought
hard and got bright idea. He said out loudly. “I will put in my leg and find
out whether the water is warm or not” Of course the mouse deer did not do what
he said. He did not put his leg but the mouse deer took a wood stick and put
one end into the water. Blurrr…! Surely a crocodile grabbed the wood stick and
pulled it underwater. Seeing that, the mouse deer laughed and said “Stupid
crocodile! Can’t you see the difference between a wood stick and a leg?” Then
the mouse deer ran to another side of the river and drink some water.
On the following day, the mouse deer was hungry. He wanted to eat some grass on
the side of the river so he had to to cross the dangerous river which was full
of crocodiles. Again he thought hard and found another smart idea and said
loudly “Crocodiles come up!” then some crocodiles rose from the water. They
looked happy and saw their sharp teeth and said “Hello, Mouse Deer. Do you come
to be my lunch? We are hungry” The mouse deer just smiled and replied. “Sorry,
Crocodiles, not today, I come to you to bring an invitation from the king. You
are invited to the party. The king ordered me to count all crocodiles in this
river so he knew how to prepare enough meal for you.”All the crocodiles felt
happy and said “Really…? Tell us what to do,” said a crocodile. “You have to
line up from this side of the river to the other side,” said the mouse deer.
Not long after that the crocodile got all his friends and family. He ordered to
lined up across the river.
The mouse deer then jumped on the Crocodile’s back. “One,” the mouse deer
counted. He jumped onto the next crocodile, “Two.” And he jumped again on the
next crocodile, “Three.” he kept jumping until he arrived on the other side of
the river. “Just enough,” said the mouse deer. “I have counted all of you” He
laughed and ran to the field of grass.

itu sering pergi ke sungai untuk minum.
Suatu hari, kancil merasa haus. Dia ingin minum di sungai, tapi ia tahu bahwa
ada buaya yang tinggal dan menunggu di bawah air yang bisa memakan dia.
Dia berpikir keras dan mendapat ide cemerlang. Dia berkata dengan nyaring.
"Saya akan memasukkan kaki saya supaya tahu apakah airnya hangat aatu
tidak" Tentu saja kancil tidak melakukan apa yang dia katakan. Dia tidak
memasukkan kakinya ke dalam air suangai itu sebagai gantinya dia mengambil
sebatang tongkat kayu dan memasukkanya satu ujung ke dalam air. Blurrr ...!
Tentu saja buaya itu meraih tongkat kayu dan menariknya ke bawah air. Melihat
itu, kancil tertawa dan berkata "Buaya bodoh! Apakah kamu tidak bisa
membedakan antara tongkat kayu dan kaki?" Kemudian kancil berlari ke sisi
lain dari sungai dan minum air.
Pada hari berikutnya, Kancil merasa lapar. Dia ingin makan beberapa rumput di
sisi sungai sehingga dia harus menyeberangi sungai yang berbahaya yang penuh
engan buaya itu. Sekali lagi ia berpikir keras dan menemukan ide cerdas lain
dan berkata keras "Buaya datanglah!" Kemudian beberapa buaya muncul
ke permukaan air. Mereka tampak bahagia dan memperlihatkan gigi tajam sambil
berkata "Halo, Kancil. Apakah kamu datang untuk menjadi menu makan siang
kami? Kami sudah lapar" Kancil hanya tersenyum dan menjawab. "Maaf,
Buaya, tidak hari ini, saya datang kepada kalian untuk membawa undangan dari
raja. Kalian diundang ke pesta. Raja memerintahkan saya untuk menghitung semua
buaya di sungai ini sehingga beliau tahu bagaimana mempersiapkan makanan bagi
kalian nanti." Semua buaya merasa bahagia dan mengatakan "Benar,
benarkah? Beritahu kami apa yang harus kami lakukan," kata buaya.
"Kalian harus berbaris dari sisi sungai ini sampai ke sisi lainnya,"
kata kancil. Tidak lama setelah itu buaya menmanggil semua teman-teman dan
keluarganya. Dia memerintahkan untuk berbaris berjejer dari satu sisi sungai
samapi sisi lainnya.
Kancil itu kemudian melompat di punggung buaya. "Satu," kancil
menghitung. Dia melompat ke buaya berikutnya, "Dua." Dan ia melompat
lagi pada buaya berikutnya, "Tiga." Dia terus melompat sampai tiba di
sisi lain sungai. "Cukup sudah," kata kancil. "Saya telah
menghitung kalian semua" Dia tertawa dan berlari ke lapangan yang penuh
dengan rumput.
