Cerita Kancil dan Anjing Pemburu dalam Bahasa Inggris dan Artinya

The Mouse Deer and the Hunting Dog

Once upon a time, in a dense forest, there lived a clever mouse deer. He was always able to escape from the hunters who wanted to catch him. One day, a hunter managed to trap the mouse deer in a net. The hunter was very happy and carried the mouse deer on his shoulder. He also brought his hunting dog, who helped him find the mouse deer in the forest.

The mouse deer was very scared. He knew that he would be cooked for dinner by the hunter. He tried to think of a way to escape. He noticed that the hunter’s dog was tied to a rope near the hunter’s house. The mouse deer decided to talk to the dog.

“Hello, dog. How long have you been serving your master, the hunter?” the mouse deer asked.

“I have been serving him since I was a puppy. It’s been about five years. I like following him. He often takes me to hunt in the forest,” the dog answered.

“Oh, you poor dog. You are so foolish. What do you get from following him? You only get some rice and leftover food, right? And you have to work hard for him for five years. He doesn’t appreciate you at all,” the mouse deer said.

The dog was silent, listening to the mouse deer’s words.

“You know what your master said to me earlier? He said that he will cook you!” the mouse deer continued.

“That’s impossible. My master loves me very much,” the dog said.

“You don’t believe me? Your master also said that you are getting old. Your movements are slow and you like to sleep a lot. He said that you are useless and he wants to replace you with a younger dog,” the mouse deer lied.

The dog was shocked and angry. He couldn’t believe that his master would say such things about him.

“Let me see him. I want to confront him. Untie me, mouse deer. Let me go,” the dog demanded.

“Okay, okay. I will untie you. But you have to promise me one thing. You have to let me go too. You have to tell your master that you caught me by yourself and you don’t need his help. Deal?” the mouse deer said.

“Deal. Just hurry up and untie me,” the dog agreed.

The mouse deer quickly untied the dog and himself. He ran away as fast as he could, leaving the dog behind. The dog ran to the hunter’s house and barked loudly.

“Master, master. I have something to tell you. I caught the mouse deer by myself. You don’t need to hunt anymore. You can cook me instead. I heard you say that you want to eat me and replace me with a younger dog,” the dog said.

The hunter was confused and surprised. He didn’t understand what the dog was talking about. He looked at his shoulder and saw that the mouse deer was gone. He realized that he had been tricked by the mouse deer.

“Dog, you are so stupid. I never said those things. The mouse deer lied to you. He escaped from my net and made you free him too. Now he is gone and we have nothing to eat. You are a bad dog. Go away from me. I don’t want to see you again,” the hunter scolded.

The dog felt ashamed and regretful. He wished he hadn’t listened to the mouse deer. He lost his master’s trust and his home. He learned his lesson the hard way. He should have been loyal and grateful to his master, instead of being deceived by the cunning mouse deer.

Kancil dan Anjing Pemburu

Pada suatu hari, di sebuah hutan yang lebat, hiduplah seekor kancil yang cerdik. Dia selalu bisa lolos dari para pemburu yang ingin menangkapnya. Suatu hari, seorang pemburu berhasil menjebak kancil dalam sebuah jaring. Pemburu itu sangat senang dan menggendong kancil di atas bahunya. Dia juga membawa anjing peliharaannya, yang membantunya menemukan kancil di hutan.

Kancil sangat ketakutan. Dia tahu bahwa dia akan dimasak untuk makan malam oleh pemburu. Dia mencoba berpikir cara untuk melarikan diri. Dia melihat bahwa anjing pemburu diikat dengan tali di dekat rumah pemburu. Kancil memutuskan untuk berbicara dengan anjing.

“Halo, anjing. Sudah berapa lama kamu melayani tuanmu, si pemburu?” tanya kancil.

“Aku sudah melayaninya sejak aku masih anak-anak. Sudah sekitar lima tahun. Aku suka mengikutinya. Dia sering membawaku berburu ke hutan,” jawab anjing.

“Wah, kasihan kamu. Kamu sangat bodoh. Apa yang kamu dapatkan dari mengikutinya? Kamu hanya mendapatkan nasi dan sisa makanan, kan? Dan kamu harus bekerja keras untuknya selama lima tahun. Dia tidak menghargaimu sama sekali,” kata kancil.

Anjing diam saja, mendengarkan perkataan kancil.

“Kamu tahu apa yang tuanmu bilang padaku tadi? Dia bilang bahwa dia akan memasakmu!” lanjut kancil.

“Tidak mungkin. Tuan ku sangat sayang padaku,” kata anjing.

“Kamu tidak percaya padaku? Tuanmu juga bilang bahwa kamu sudah semakin tua. Gerakanmu lambat dan kamu suka sekali tidur. Dia bilang bahwa kamu tidak berguna dan dia ingin menggantimu dengan anjing yang lebih muda,” bohong kancil.

Anjing terkejut dan marah. Dia tidak percaya bahwa tuannya akan mengatakan hal-hal seperti itu tentangnya.

“Biarkan aku menemuinya. Aku ingin menegurnya. Lepaskan aku, kancil. Biarkan aku pergi,” minta anjing.

“Baiklah, baiklah. Aku akan melepaskanmu. Tapi kamu harus berjanji satu hal padaku. Kamu harus membiarkan aku pergi juga. Kamu harus bilang pada tuanmu bahwa kamu menangkapku sendiri dan kamu tidak butuh bantuannya. Setuju?” kata kancil.

“Setuju. Cepat lepaskan aku,” kata anjing.

Kancil segera melepaskan anjing dan dirinya sendiri. Dia lari secepat mungkin, meninggalkan anjing di belakang. Anjing berlari ke rumah pemburu dan menggonggong keras-keras.

“Tuan, tuan. Aku ada sesuatu untuk memberitahumu. Aku menangkap kancil sendiri. Kamu tidak perlu berburu lagi. Kamu bisa memasak aku saja. Aku dengar kamu bilang bahwa kamu ingin memakanku dan menggantiku dengan anjing yang lebih muda,” kata anjing.

Pemburu bingung dan kaget. Dia tidak mengerti apa yang anjing bicarakan. Dia melihat ke bahunya dan melihat bahwa kancil sudah hilang. Dia sadar bahwa dia telah ditipu oleh kancil.

“Anjing, kamu sangat bodoh. Aku tidak pernah bilang hal-hal itu. Kancil berbohong padamu. Dia lolos dari jaringku dan membuatmu membebaskannya juga. Sekarang dia sudah pergi dan kita tidak punya apa-apa untuk dimakan. Kamu anjing yang buruk. Pergi dari sini. Aku tidak mau melihatmu lagi,” pemburu memarahi.

Anjing merasa malu dan menyesal. Dia berharap dia tidak mendengarkan kancil. Dia kehilangan kepercayaan dan rumahnya. Dia belajar pelajaran dengan cara yang sulit. Dia seharusnya setia dan bersyukur kepada tuannya, bukan tertipu oleh kancil yang licik.
