Mouse Deer and Crocodile

One day, Mouse Deer went down to the river to take a drink. But he knew that the

crocodile might be waiting underwater to eat him, so he said out loud. “I wonder if the

water’s warm. I’ll put in my leg and find out.” Of course Mouse Deer didn’t put in his leg.

He picked up a stick instead and put one end into the water. Chomp…! Crocodile grabbed

the stick and pulled it underwater. Mouse Deer laughed. “Ha… ha…ha… Stupid crocodile!

Cant you tell the difference between a stick and a leg?” Then Mouse Deer ran off to drink

somewhere else.

In the next day, Mouse Deer wanted to cross the river. He wanted to eat the fruits on

the other side of the river. He saw a floating log in the river. He knew that Crocodile looked

like a log when he floated. Mouse Deer didn’t want to be eaten by Crocodile when he

crosses the river. He had an idea. He called out loud, “Crocodile!” Crocodile rose from the

water, “Hello, Mouse Deer. Have you come to be my lunch?” Mouse Deer smiled. “Sorry,

not today, Crocodile. I have orders from the King. He wants to invite all the crocodiles in

this river to a party. He wants me to count all the crocodiles so he could prepare enough

meal for you.”

“Really…? Tell us what to do,” said Crocodile. “You must line up from this side of

the river to the other side,” said Mouse Deer. Crocodile then got all his friends and family.

They lined up across the river. Mouse Deer then jumped onto Crocodile’s back. “One,” he

counted. He jumped onto the next crocodile, “Two.” And the next crocodile, “Three.”

Mouse Deer kept jumping until he arrived on the other side of the river. “How many are

there?” asked Crocodile. “Just enough,” said Mouse Deer. He laughed as he ran to the

forest.

Suatu hari, Kancil pergi ke sungai untuk minum. Tapi ia tahu bahwa buaya mungkin

menunggu didalam air untuk memakannya, jadi dia berteriak keras-keras. “Aku ingin tahu

apakah air hangat. Aku akan memasukkan kaki saya ke dalam air dan mencari tahu. “Tentu

dalam air. Chomp …! Buaya menyambar tongkat dan menariknya ke bawah air. Kancil

tertawa. “Ha … ha … ha … buaya bodoh! Tidak bisakah membedakan antara tongkat dan

kaki? “Lalu Kancil lari untuk minum di tempat lain.

Pada hari berikutnya, Kancil ingin menyeberang sungai. Dia ingin makan buah-

buahan di sisi lain sungai. Dia melihat batang kayu mengambang di sungai. Dia tahu bahwa

Buaya tampak seperti kayu mengambang ketika ia mengambang. Kancil tidak mau dimakan

oleh buaya ketika ia melintasi sungai. Dia punya ide. Ia berseru keras, “Buaya!” Buaya

terangkat dari air, “Halo, Kancil. Apakah kamu datang untuk menjadi makan siang saya?

“Kancil tersenyum. “Maaf, tidak hari ini, Buaya. Saya mendapat perintah dari Raja. Dia

ingin mengajak seluruh buaya di sungai ini ke pesta. Dia ingin aku menghitung semua

buaya sehingga ia bisa mempersiapkan cukup makanan untuk kamu. ”

“Sunggu…? Beritahu kami apa yang harus dilakukan, “kata Buaya. “kamu harus

berbaris dari sisi sungai ke sisi lain,” kata Kancil. Buaya kemudian memanggil semua

teman-temannya dan keluarganya. Mereka berbaris di seberang sungai. Kancil lalu

melompat ke punggung buaya. “Satu,” ia menghitung. Dia melompat ke buaya berikutnya,

“Dua.” Dan buaya berikutnya, “Tiga.” Kancil terus melompat sampai ia tiba di sisi lain

sungai. “Berapa banyak?” Tanya Buaya. “Cukup,” kata Kancil. Dia tertawa sambil berlari

ke hutan

 Lutung Kasarung
Pada jaman dahulu kala di tatar pasundan ada sebuah kerajaan yang pimpin oleh seorang
raja yang bijaksana, beliau dikenal sebagai Prabu Tapak Agung.
Prabu Tapa Agung mempunyai dua orang putri cantik yaitu Purbararang dan adiknya Purbasari.
Pada saat mendekati akhir hayatnya Prabu Tapak Agung menunjuk Purbasari, putri
bungsunya sebagai pengganti. “Aku sudah terlalu tua, saatnya aku turun tahta,” kata Prabu Tapa.
Purbasari memiliki kakak yang bernama Purbararang. Ia tidak setuju adiknya diangkat
menggantikan Ayah mereka. “Aku putri Sulung, seharusnya ayahanda memilih aku sebagai
penggantinya,” gerutu Purbararang pada tunangannya yang bernama Indrajaya. Kegeramannya
yang sudah memuncak membuatnya mempunyai niat mencelakakan adiknya. Ia menemui seorang
nenek sihir untuk memanterai Purbasari. Nenek sihir itu memanterai Purbasari sehingga saat itu
juga tiba-tiba kulit Purbasari menjadi bertotol-totol hitam. Purbararang jadi punya alasan untuk
mengusir adiknya tersebut. “Orang yang dikutuk seperti dia tidak pantas menjadi seorang Ratu !”
ujar Purbararang.
Kemudian ia menyuruh seorang Patih untuk mengasingkan Purbasari ke hutan. Sesampai di
hutan patih tersebut masih berbaik hati dengan membuatkan sebuah pondok untuk Purbasari. Ia
pun menasehati Purbasari, “Tabahlah Tuan Putri. Cobaan ini pasti akan berakhir, Yang Maha
Kuasa pasti akan selalu bersama Putri”. “Terima kasih paman”, ujar Purbasari.
Selama di hutan ia mempunyai banyak teman yaitu hewan-hewan yang selalu baik
kepadanya. Diantara hewan tersebut ada seekor kera berbulu hitam yang misterius. Tetapi kera
tersebut yang paling perhatian kepada Purbasari. Lutung kasarung selalu menggembirakan
Purbasari dengan mengambilkan bunga –bunga yang indah serta buah-buahan bersama teman-
temannya.
Pada saat malam bulan purnama, Lutung Kasarung bersikap aneh. Ia berjalan ke tempat
yang sepi lalu bersemedi. Ia sedang memohon sesuatu kepada Dewata. Ini membuktikan bahwa
Lutung Kasarung bukan makhluk biasa. Tidak lama kemudian, tanah di dekat Lutung merekah dan
terciptalah sebuah telaga kecil, airnya jernih sekali. Airnya mengandung obat yang sangat harum.
Keesokan harinya Lutung Kasarung menemui Purbasari dan memintanya untuk mandi di
telaga tersebut. “Apa manfaatnya bagiku ?”, pikir Purbasari. Tapi ia mau menurutinya. Tak lama
setelah ia menceburkan dirinya. Sesuatu terjadi pada kulitnya. Kulitnya menjadi bersih seperti
semula dan ia menjadi cantik kembali. Purbasari sangat terkejut dan gembira ketika ia bercermin
ditelaga tersebut.
Di istana, Purbararang memutuskan untuk melihat adiknya di hutan. Ia pergi bersama
tunangannya dan para pengawal. Ketika sampai di hutan, ia akhirnya bertemu dengan adiknya dan
saling berpandangan. Purbararang tak percaya melihat adiknya kembali seperti semula.
Purbararang tidak mau kehilangan muka, ia mengajak Purbasari adu panjang rambut. “Siapa
yang paling panjang rambutnya dialah yang menang !”, kata Purbararang. Awalnya Purbasari
tidak mau, tetapi karena terus didesak ia meladeni kakaknya. Ternyata rambut Purbasari lebih
panjang.
“Baiklah aku kalah, tapi sekarang ayo kita adu tampan tunangan kita, Ini tunanganku”,
kata Purbararang sambil mendekat kepada Indrajaya. Purbasari mulai gelisah dan kebingungan.
Akhirnya ia melirik serta menarik tangan Lutung Kasarung. Lutung Kasarung melonjak-lonjak
seakan-akan menenangkan Purbasari. Purbararang tertawa terbahak-bahak, “Jadi monyet itu
kamu tunangan ?”.
Pada saat itu juga Lutung Kasarung segera bersemedi. Tiba-tiba terjadi suatu keajaiban. Lutung
Kasarung berubah menjadi seorang Pemuda gagah berwajah sangat tampan, lebih dari Indrajaya.
Semua terkejut melihat kejadian itu seraya bersorak gembira. Purbararang akhirnya mengakui
kekalahannya dan kesalahannya selama ini. Ia memohon maaf kepada adiknya dan memohon untuk
tidak dihukum. Purbasari yang baik hati memaafkan mereka. Setelah kejadian itu akhirnya mereka
semua kembali ke Istana.
Purbasari menjadi seorang ratu, didampingi oleh seorang pemuda idamannya. Pemuda
yang ternyata selama ini selalu mendampinginya dihutan dalam wujud seekor lutung.
