The Mouse Deer and the Snake

Once upon a time, there was a clever mouse deer who lived in the jungle. He liked to wander around and look for delicious fruits and vegetables. One day, he found a big cucumber plant near the river. He was very happy and decided to eat some cucumbers.

However, he did not notice that there was a snake hiding under the plant. The snake was hungry and wanted to eat the mouse deer. He waited patiently for the right moment to attack.

The mouse deer was enjoying the cucumbers so much that he did not pay attention to his surroundings. He ate one cucumber after another, until he was full. He decided to take a nap under the shade of the plant.

The snake saw his chance and quickly wrapped himself around the mouse deer’s body. He squeezed him tightly and said, “Ha ha ha, I got you, mouse deer. You are my lunch today.”

The mouse deer was shocked and scared. He tried to free himself from the snake’s grip, but it was too late. He realized that he had been careless and foolish. He thought hard and fast, looking for a way to escape.

He noticed that the snake had not bitten him yet. He asked the snake, “Why don’t you bite me and finish me off? Are you afraid of my blood?”

The snake was surprised by the mouse deer’s question. He said, “No, I am not afraid of your blood. Why do you ask?”

The mouse deer said, “Well, you see, I have a special blood. It is very poisonous and bitter. If you bite me, you will die instantly. That is why I am not afraid of you.”

The snake was doubtful and curious. He said, “Really? How do I know that you are telling the truth?”

The mouse deer said, “If you don’t believe me, you can try it yourself. Bite one of my legs and see what happens.”

The snake thought for a while and decided to test the mouse deer’s claim. He loosened his grip on the mouse deer’s body and moved his head towards one of his legs. He opened his mouth and prepared to bite.

The mouse deer saw his opportunity and quickly kicked the snake’s head with his other leg. He freed himself from the snake’s coil and ran away as fast as he could. He shouted, “Ha ha ha, you are so gullible, snake. I tricked you. My blood is not poisonous at all. You should have bitten me when you had the chance. Goodbye, snake. I hope you learned your lesson.”

The snake was angry and embarrassed. He realized that he had been fooled by the mouse deer. He said, “You are very cunning, mouse deer. You lied to me and escaped. But I will not give up. I will catch you again someday and make you pay for this.”

The mouse deer did not hear the snake’s words. He was already far away, looking for another place to eat and rest. He was proud of himself for outsmarting the snake. He said to himself, “That was close. I almost became the snake’s lunch. But I used my wit and courage to save myself. I am the smartest and bravest animal in the jungle.”

The end.

Artinya

Kancil dan Ular

Dahulu kala, ada seekor kancil pintar yang tinggal di hutan. Dia suka berkeliaran dan mencari buah-buahan dan sayuran yang lezat. Suatu hari, dia menemukan tanaman mentimun besar di dekat sungai. Dia sangat senang dan memutuskan untuk makan mentimun.

Namun, dia tidak memperhatikan bahwa ada ular yang bersembunyi di bawah tanaman. Ular itu lapar dan ingin memakan kancil. Dia menunggu dengan sabar saat yang tepat untuk menyerang.

Kancil sangat menikmati mentimun sehingga dia tidak memperhatikan sekelilingnya. Dia makan mentimun satu demi satu, sampai dia kenyang. Dia memutuskan untuk tidur siang di bawah naungan tanaman.

Ular itu melihat kesempatannya dan dengan cepat membungkus dirinya di sekitar tubuh kancil. Dia meremasnya erat-erat dan berkata, "Ha ha ha, aku menangkapmu, kancil. Kamu adalah makan siangku hari ini."

Kancil terkejut dan takut. Dia mencoba membebaskan dirinya dari cengkeraman ular itu, tetapi sudah terlambat. Dia menyadari bahwa dia telah ceroboh dan bodoh. Dia berpikir keras dan cepat, mencari cara untuk melarikan diri.

Dia memperhatikan bahwa ular itu belum menggigitnya. Dia bertanya kepada ular itu, "Mengapa kamu tidak menggigitku dan menghabisiku? Apakah kamu takut dengan darahku?"

Ular itu terkejut dengan pertanyaan kancil itu. Dia berkata, "Tidak, saya tidak takut dengan darah Anda. Mengapa Anda bertanya?"

Kancil berkata, "Yah, Anda tahu, saya memiliki darah khusus. Sangat beracun dan pahit. Jika Anda menggigit saya, Anda akan mati seketika. Itu sebabnya aku tidak takut padamu."

Ular itu ragu dan penasaran. Dia berkata, "Benarkah? Bagaimana saya tahu bahwa Anda mengatakan yang sebenarnya?"

Kancil berkata, "Jika kamu tidak percaya padaku, kamu bisa mencobanya sendiri. Gigit salah satu kakiku dan lihat apa yang terjadi."

Ular itu berpikir sejenak dan memutuskan untuk menguji klaim kancil itu. Dia melonggarkan cengkeramannya pada tubuh kancil dan menggerakkan kepalanya ke salah satu kakinya. Dia membuka mulutnya dan bersiap untuk menggigit.

Kancil melihat kesempatannya dan dengan cepat menendang kepala ular itu dengan kakinya yang lain. Dia membebaskan dirinya dari gulungan ular dan melarikan diri secepat yang dia bisa. Dia berteriak, "Ha ha ha, kamu sangat mudah tertipu, ular. Aku menipumu. Darahku tidak beracun sama sekali. Kamu seharusnya menggigitku ketika kamu punya kesempatan. Selamat tinggal, ular. Saya harap Anda belajar dari pelajaran Anda."

Ular itu marah dan malu. Dia menyadari bahwa dia telah dibodohi oleh kancil. Dia berkata, "Kamu sangat licik, kancil. Anda berbohong kepada saya dan melarikan diri. Tapi saya tidak akan menyerah. Aku akan menangkapmu lagi suatu hari nanti dan membuatmu membayar untuk ini."

Kancil tidak mendengar kata-kata ular itu. Dia sudah jauh, mencari tempat lain untuk makan dan istirahat. Dia bangga pada dirinya sendiri karena mengakali ular itu. Dia berkata pada dirinya sendiri, "Itu sudah dekat. Saya hampir menjadi makan siang ular itu. Tapi saya menggunakan kecerdasan dan keberanian saya untuk menyelamatkan diri. Aku adalah hewan terpintar dan paling berani di hutan."
