Dongeng Binatang: Kelinci Sombong dan Kura-Kura

Sebuah hutan kecil di pinggiran desa jadi tempat hidup sekelompok binatang. Di sana ada kelinci yang sombong dan suka mengejek binatang lain yang lebih lemah. Binatang lain seperti kura-kura, siput, semut, ulat, cacing, kupu-kupu tak ada yang suka pada kelinci sombong itu. Pada suatu saat si kelinci sombong berjalan dengan angkuh mencari korban untuk diejek. Kebetulan dia bertemu kura-kura. Hei, kura-kura lambat! Kamu jangan cuma jalan dong. Belajarlah berlari biar cepat sampai, kata kelinci mencibir. Biar saja, jalanku memang lambat, tapi yang penting tetap selamat. Daripada cepat tapi jatuh dan terluka, lebih baik tetap selamat, jawab kura-kura. Bagaimana kalau kita adu lari, ajak kelinci menantang. Kalau kau menang, aku beri hadiah apapun yang kau minta, kata kelinci pongah. Mana mungkin aku beradu cepat denganmu. Kamu kan bisa lari dan loncat, sedang aku, kan hanya bisa jalan pelan, karena terbebani rumahku ini, kata kura-kura tahu diri. Harus mau! Kamu tidak boleh menolak tantanganku. Besok pagi aku tunggu kamu di bawah beringin. Aku akan menghubungi srigala untuk jadi wasit, kata kelinci. Awas kalau sampai nggak datang, kata kelinci mengancam. Kura-kura hanya diam melongo. Dalam hati dia berkata, Apa mungkin aku mengalahkan kelinci? Keesokan harinya kelinci sombong sudah menunggu di bawah beringin. Srigala sudah datang untuk jadi wasit. Setelah kura-kura ada dan sejumlah binatang hadir jadi penonton, Srigala berkata, Peraturannya begini. Kalian balapan lari mulai dari garis di bawah pohon mangga itu, kata Srigala sambil nunjuk, terus cepet-cepetan sampai di bawah pohon beringin ini. Yang menginjak garis duluan yang jadi pemenang. Semua yang hadir pun ngangguk ngangguk.

Setelah semua siap, Oke, satu dua tiga lari! kata srigala memberi aba-aba. Kelinci langsung meloncat mendahului kura-kura. Sementara itu kura-kura melangkah pelan karena rumahnya jadi beban. Ayo kura-kura, lari dong..! teriak Kelinci dari kejauhan sambil mengejek. Baiklah aku tunggu di sini ya, kata kelinci mengejek. Kelinci pun duduk-duduk sambil bernyanyi, mengejek kura-kura yang sulit melangkah. Karena angin berhembus pelan dan sejuk, tanpa disadari kelinci jadi ngantuk. Celakanya, tak lama kemudian kelinci pun tertidur. Penonton mengira kelinci hanya pura-pura tidur untuk mengejek kura-kura. Meskipun pelan, kura-kura terus melangkah sekuat tenaga. Diam-diam dia melewati kelinci yang tertidur, terus melangkah dan .akhirnya mendekati garis finish. Tepat saat kura-kura hampir menginjak garis finish, kelinci terbangun. Dia sangat terkejut mendapati kura-kura sudah hampir mencapai finish. Sekuat tenaga dia berlari dan meloncat, mengejar kura-kura yang diejek dan disepelekannya. Namun apa daya, semuanya sudah terlambat. Kaki kurakura telah menyentuh garis finish dan Srigala telah mengibarkan bendera finish saat kelinci masih berlari. Kura-kura jadi pemenang dan si kelinci sombong terdiam tak percaya. Kenapa aku bisa tertidur ya? katanya menyesal. Nah, siapa yang menang? tanya kura-kura pada kelinci. Ya, kaulah yang menang, jawab kelinci malu. Kamu ingat kan? Kemaren kamu janji aku boleh minta hadiah apa pun bila menang lomba ini kan? Kata kura-kura mengingatkan. Ya, pilih saja hadiah yang kau ingin, kata kelinci deg-degan. Aku hanya minta satu hadiah dari kamu. Mulai sekarang kamu jangan sombong lagi, jangan mengejek, dan jangan ganggu binatang lain kata kura-kura. Hanya itu?! kata kelinci terkejut. Ya, itu saja. Kata kura-kura mantap. Baik, aku berjanji tidak akan sombong lagi, tidak mengejek, dan . aku minta maaf, kata kelinci disaksikan semua binatang.
