“or… prince Manggale…” said Anka

Reza wondered, and told to his little sister and Togar to check it out. Togar hesitant. But then finally the

And suddenly… Jreeenggg! Sigale-gale’s head was turning into them! Reza, Togar, and Anka shocked.
They just could stand there, without any action. But suddenly, they heard another sound.

“nguk..nguk..! nguk..!”

That voice sound very sad and scary. Reza, Anka, and Togar looked each other.

“don’t you hear? That sound..” asked Reza

“I think it comes from Sigale-gale” said Togar.

“hm… okay it sounds very scary. Let’s come back to home.” Said Reza

“okay”

“NO!” shout Anka firmly

“it sounds like a monkey’s voice. Sounds so sad. Or… he injures overhere” said Anka again with afraid

a monkey? Absolutely so appropriate to give two thumbs.

“okay let’s find where the monkey is” said Reza

“nguk….nguk..nguk”

“look!” Togar pointed

In the back side sigale-gale, a monkey that injured seemed very weak in Masterpiece’s threads.

“ah, so the monkey causes sigale-gale move” said reza satisfied after he finished the mystery.

“ Ohh… monkey loveyy…” Anka take the monkey gently

Togar and Reza was smiling.

“ok now, let’s go back to home” said Togar

Sigale-gale”

Liburan kemarin Anka dan Reza menghabiskan liburan mereka di Desa Tomok, Pulau Samosir. Mereka
mengunjungi teman mereka, yaitu Togar. Anka sangat senang berlibur di sana, tapi satu-satunya hal yang
sangat aneh dan mengganggu pikirannya adalah sosok Sigale-gale di depan rumah Togar. Anka bisa
melihat Sigale-gale dari jendela Togar. Sigale-gale adalah boneka kayu khas dari suku Batak. Proporsinya
yang seperti manusia itu disebut-sebut sama seperti Pangeran Manggale.

Pangeran Manggale wafat ketika perang. Ayahnya sang Raja sangatlah sedih. Akhirnya figur Sigale-gale
dibuat. Anehnya, Sigale-gale bisa bergerak dengan sendirinya dan menari tor tor di depan Raja. Menurut
cerita rakyat, jiwa Pangeran Manggale bergabung dalam boneka kayu itu.

Sampai saat ini, tarian Sigale-gale menjadi wisata menarik paling terkenal di Pulau Samosir. Tapi sekarang
Sigale-gale digerakkan oleh penggerak di balik layar. Tapi Anka masih benar-benar takut dengan apa yang
dilihatnya. Pada malam hari, setelah makan malam, Anka, Reza, dan Togar sedang bermain kartu. Anka
melihat ada sesuatu yang bergerak di jendela. Dalam kegelapan Anka melihat Sigale-gale melambai!
Refleks, Anka menjerit keras-keras.

“Ada apa, Anka?” tanya Tagor dan Reza terkejut, dan langsung melompat dari kursi dan mendekati Anka.

“Sigale-gale itu melambai!” Kata Anka panik.

“APA?!” Togar dan Reza kaget.

“Benarkah begitu, Togar?” tanya Reza.

“Emmhhhh … mungkin itu karena angin atau hal lainnya” jawab Togar tetap tenang. Togar tidak ingin
membuat tamunya takut.

“Tunggu sebentar! Ini sangat aneh. Sigale-gale begitu berat, bagaimana bisa melambai akibat angin?
“Kata Reza

“Atau … pangeran Manggale …” kata Anka

Reza bertanya-tanya, dan memberi tahu adiknya dan Togar untuk memeriksanya. Togar ragu. Tapi
akhirnya rasa penasarannya menang. Mereka menyelinap keluar rumah. Di luar, angin sangat kencang. Di
atas bulan cahaya, wajah sigale-gale tampak sangat menyeramkan. Dengan lengan bajunya yang
melambai-lambai seperti tor tor.

Dan tiba-tiba … Jreeenggg! Kepala Sigale-gale bergerak menghadap mereka! Reza, Togar, dan Anka kaget.
Mereka hanya bisa berdiri di sana, tanpa tindakan apapun. Tapi tiba-tiba, mereka mendengar suara lain.

“Nguk..nguk ..! nguk ..! “

Suara itu terdengar sangat sedih dan menyeramkan. Reza, Anka, dan Togar saling pandang.

“Tidakkah kamu dengar suara itu? .. ” tanya Reza

“Aku pikir itu berasal dari Sigale-gale” kata Togar.

“Hm … oke kedengarannya sangat menyeramkan. Ayo kembali ke rumah.” ajak Reza

“baik”

“TIDAK!” Teriak Anka dengan tegas

“Kedengarannya seperti suara monyet. Kedengarannya sangat menyedihkan. Mungkin… dia terluka.” kata
Anka lagi dengan perasaan takut

Reza tersenyum. Dia tahu adik perempuannya sangat menyukai binatang. Sekarang dia bertarung dengan
ketakutan hanya untuk membantu seekor monyet? Sama sekali pantas memberi dua jempol.

“Oke mari kita cari dimana monyet itu” kata reza

“Nguk … .nguk..nguk”

“Lihat!” Togar menunjuk

Di sisi belakang sigale-gale, seekor monyet yang terluka tampak sangat lemah tersangkut karena benang
penggerak.
“Ah, jadi monyet itu yang menyebabkan sigale-gale bergerak” kata reza puas setelah ia menyelesaikan
misteri tersebut.

“Ohh … monyet sayang …” Anka menyelamatkan monyet dengan lembut. Togar dan Reza tersenyum.

“Ok sekarang, ayo kembali ke rumah” kata Togar

Mereka pergi ke rumah Togar, meninggalkan sigale-gale yang tiba-tiba menoleh.

Mereka tidak sadar, monyet itu masih kecil. Dia tidak bisa menarik benang, sampai bisa berbalik ke
depan.

Majesty! I did not mean to wake you, it was a mistake. I was only playing. Please let me go - and I
promise I will be your friend forever. Who knows but one day I could save your life?'

The lion looked at the tiny mouse and laughed. 'You save my life? What an absurd idea!' he said
scornfully. 'But you have made me laugh, and put me into a good mood again, so I shall let you go.' And
the lion opened his claws and let the mouse go free.

her, “because I want so much to go to the ball” said Cinderella. “Well” said the godmother,”you’ve been
such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you do go to the ball”.

footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella’s raged dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful ball
gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. “Now, Cinderella”, she said; “You must leave
before midnight”. Then away she drove in her beautiful coach.
