 AN UNTRUTHFUL ELEPHANT

In a country, lived a pair of elephants who love each other. They were Shawn
and Honey. They had been living together since 2 years ago and had two
children. Their first child was Andy and their second child was Danny. Danny
was the elephant that often lied and he was always scolded by his parents
because of the lies that he often did.

While their older child, Andy was an elephant who was very honest and made
the parents were so proud. However, although his parents were proud of him,
he was not arrogant, so all the elephants liked him. All those conditions made
Danny jealous and did not like his brother. But, he had not made him changed and
he became more and more lying frequently. He was never to be deterrent even though
often punished by his parents.

Meanwhile, his brother, Andy was never bored and stopped to advise him.
However, all of the advice and the punishment he received was never made him
wary. A lie that often done by him was screaming near the river so that
someone else thinks he was drowning. In fact, he only intended to pretend and
lied.

One day, he wanted to drink the water in the river which was deep enough.
Because he was so thirsty, he did not pay attention to the depth of the river
and immediately stuck his trunk into the water. The surfaces that were near the
river were so slippery but he did not pay attention. Suddenly, Danny slipped
and he plunged into the river. There was no elephant that was near river
because they were all in the pasture which was far enough away from the river.
He then yelled very loudly and asked for help to all the elephants.

The elephants heard it, but he often lied, so that the elephants on the pasture
ignored his scream. In fact, his parents did not pay attention because they
thought he was lying. However, his brother was curious and wanted to see
whether Danny was lying or not. When the brother reached the river, he saw
that Danny was not lying and Danny almost drowned.

Andy immediately saved Danny and took him out on the pasture to be treated.
The elephants in the meadow shocked and immediately huddled beside him. A
few minutes later, he woke up and he promised never to lie again.
 GAJAH YANG TIDAK JUJUR

Di sebuah negeri, hiduplah sepasang gajah yang saling mencintai. Mereka

bernama Shawn dan Honey. Mereka telah hidup bersama sejak 2 tahun yang
lalu dan sekarang telah mempunyai dua ekor anak gajah. Anak pertama
mereka adalah Andy dan anak kedua mereka adalah Danny. Danny adalah
gajah yang sering berbohong dan ia selalu dimarahi oleh orang tuanya karena
kebohongan-kebohongan yang sering ia lakukan.

Sedangkan anak pertama mereka, Andy merupakan seekor gajah yang sangat
jujur dan sangat dibanggakan oleh orang tuanya. Namun, meski ia dibanggakan
oleh orang tuanya, ia tidak sombong sehingga semua gajah semakin menyukai
Andy. Semua kondisi tersebut membuat Danny iri dan tidak menyukai
kakaknya. Sikap iri yang ia miliki tidak membuatnya berubah dan ia menjadi
semakin sering berbohong. Ia tidak pernah jera meskipun sering dihukum oleh
orang tuanya.

Sementara itu, kakaknya, Andy tidak pernah bosan dan berhenti untuk
menasehatinya. Namun, semua nasihat dan hukuman yang ia terima tidak
pernah membuat dirinya jera. Salah satu kebohongan yang sering dilakukan
olehnya adalah berteriak-teriak di dekat sungai agar orang lain mengira dirinya
tenggelam. Padahal, ia hanya berpura-pura dan bermaksud berbohong.

Pada suatu hari, ia ingin minum air yang ada di sungai yang cukup dalam.
Karena begitu haus, ia tidak memperhatikan kedalaman sungai tersebut dan
langsung menjulurkan belalainya ke dalam air. Permukaan yang ada di dekat
sungai begitu licin namun ia tidak memperdulikannya. Tiba-tiba, Danny
terpeleset dan ia tercebur ke dalam sungai. Tidak ada satu ekorpun gajah yang
berada di dekat sungai karena mereka semua sedang berada di padang rumput
yang cukup jauh dari sungai tersebut. Ia kemudian berteriak dengan sangat
keras dan meminta tolong kepada semua gajah.

Para gajah mendengarnya, namun karena ia sering berbohong, maka gajah-

gajah yang sedang berada di padang rumput tidak memperdulikannya. Bahkan,
orang tuanya tidak memperdulikannya karena mengira ia sedang berbohong.
Namun, kakaknya penasaran dan ingin melihat apakah danny berbohong atau
tidak. Ketika sampai di sungai, ternyata Danny tidak berbohong dan ia hampir
mati tenggelam.
Andy segera menyelamatkan Danny dan membawanya ke padang rumput
untuk diobati. Para gajah yang ada di padang rumput terkejut dan segera
berkerumun di samping danny. Beberapa menit kemudian, ia tersadar dan ia
berjanji tidak akan berbohong lagi.
