Once there was a young fisherman who live on Pulau Hantu. His home on the northern
shore of the island was made of dried palm leaves, and he found it very comfortable.
Though he was often lonely.
Each morning the young fisherman went fishing, and then he took his fish to
Singapore where he would sell them in the market. One morning when he was pulling
in his nets, he heard someone crying. He looked down into the water and saw that he
had caught a mermaid!
The young fisherman quickly pulled his net into the boat. The mermaid asked
the fisherman to release her, but he was too surprised to find her.

The mermaid said that she was in her way for home, but was caught by him "I
am on my way home to my father's kingdom beneath the sea. I had stopped a moment
to look at those island over there when you caught me."
Then, there was a conversation between them, the fisherman asked her
whether she liked the island she lived.
The mermaid also asked the fisherman about his opportunity in catching fish,
but it was not so lucky for him for his catch. As the mermaid listened to the fisherman
story. She felt in love with him. Soon she wished to marry him and lived with him on
the island, and so, the mermaid and the fisherman were married.
They were very happy. She helped him by swimming ahead of his boat and
telling him where the best fish were. The young fisherman was a good husband. He
worked hard and soon he was able to buy a fine new boat.
One evening the mermaid said to the fisherman. "If you are ever lost at sea, I
shall ask the gods to turn me into a bird. Then I shall fly all over the earth to look for
you."
One day a terrible storm came to the sea near the island while he was out in his
boat. The mermaid, who was at home, prayed that he would come home safely. She
prayed and waited for several days, and she became very ill. "Gods of the sea and the
earth," she prayed. "Change me into a bird," soon she died, and the Gods granted her
wish; they changed her into a bird so she could look for her lost husband.
The young fisherman, meanwhile, was on another island where the sea had
taken him during the storm. After the storm had passed, he returned home, but the
mermaid was gone. He looked all over the island for her without success. Then he sat
down to wait. The days of waiting turned into weeks and the weeks into years. The
fisherman grew old and sad, waiting for his wife to come home.
Then one day a white seagull flew over the fisherman's house. The seagull cried
but the fisherman didn't hear it because he was dreaming of his mermaid. A few hours
later. He died. When the fisherman died, the Gods of the sea and the earth turned him into
a seagull. He flew joyfully to his wife, and together they flew away.

The rabbit’s tail story

Many years ago, rabbits had long tails, not short ones, and crocodiles had tongues. One
such long-tailed rabbit lived near a pond. He drank water from the pond and the grass
nearby.

Now, in the pond lived a crocodile. The crocodile saw the rabbit eating grass and
drinking water, and he thought how nice it would be to eat the rabbit.

One day the crocodile swam very close to the edge of the pond. He lay still in the
water, hoping that the rabbit wouldn’t see him. When the rabbit came to drink, the crocodile
opened his mouth wide. Then he closed it with a snap. The rabbit was caught between the
crocodile’s sharp teeth!
 Of course, the rabbit was very frightened, but he did not want the crocodile to know
this. “I’m not afraid of you,” said the rabbit. “I’m only afraid of animals that roar. Everyone
knows that crocodiles can’t roar, so you can’t frighten me”

When the crocodile heard this, he became very angry. He wanted to show the rabbit
that he could roar as fiercely as a tiger. And so, the crocodile opened his mouth to roar.
When the crocodile opened his mouth, the clever rabbit jumped free. As he jumped, the
rabbit’s sharp toenails caught the crocodile’s tongue and tore it out.

The crocodile tried to catch the rabbit again, but his great teeth only snapped off the
end of the rabbit’s tail. Again and again the crocodile tried to catch the rabbit, but the rabbit

was too quick for him. Sometimes the crocodile caught a piece of the rabbit’s tail, but he could never
roar at the rabbit because he had lost his tongue.
That is why rabbit today have short tail, and crocodiles have no tongue.
