An Untruthful Elephant

Hy friends , I want tell you a story about an untruthful elephent


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.

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 waters warm. Ill put in my leg and find out. Of course Mouse Deer didnt
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 haha 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 didnt 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 Crocodiles 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.***

Terjemahan Cerita Kancil dan Buaya dalam Bahasa Inggris


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
saja Kancil memasukkan kakinya. Dia mengambil tongkat dan memasukkan satu ujung ke
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.
