There were many trees whereSang Kancil's lived along the river, so he never had trouble finding food. There were always lots of leaves. He spent his time running and jumping and looking into the river.

Sang Buaya, the big bad crocodile, lived in the river with other crocodiles. They were always waiting to catch Sang Kancil for dinner. One day when Sang Buaya was walking along the river, he saw some delicious fruit on the trees on the other side the river.

Sang Kancil wanted to taste the tasty-looking fruit because he was a little tired of eating leaves. He tried to think of a way to cross the river, but he had to be careful. He didn't want to be caught and eaten by Sang Buaya. He needed to trick Sang Buaya.

Sang Kancil suddenly had an idea He called out to the crocodile, "Sang Buaya! Sang Buaya!" Sang Buaya slowly came out of the water and asked Sang Kancil why he was shouting his name. He asked Sang Kancil, "Aren't you afraid I will eat you?" Then he opened his big mouth very wide to scare Sang Kancil.

Sang Kancil said, "Of course, I am afraid of you, but the king wants me to do something. He is having a big feast with lots of food, and he is inviting everyone, including you and all the other crocodiles. But first, I have to count all of you. He needs to know how many of you will come. Please line up across the river, so I can walk across your heads and count all of you."

Sang Buaya was excited and left to tell the other crocodiles about the feast with all the good food. Soon, they came and made a line across the river. Sang Kancil said, "Promise not to eat me because or I can't report to the king how many of you are coming. They promised not to eat him.

Sang Kancil stepped on Sang Buaya's head and counted one. Then he stepped on the next one and said, "Two." He stepped on each crocodile, counting each one, and finally reached the other side of the river. Then he said to Sang Buaya,"Thank you for helping me to cross the river to my new home."

Sang Buaya was shocked and angry. He shouted at Sang Kancil, "You tricked us! There is no feast, is there?" All of the crocodiles looked at Sang Buaya angrily. They were angry because he let Sang Kancil trick all of them.

Si Luncai dan Labunya

Cerita

Keceluparan kerap kali mengundang bencana. Kata pepatah, cakap siang pandang-pandang, cakap malam dengar-dengar. Terlajak perahu boleh dibelok, terlajak kata buruk padahnya. Begitulah yang terjadi kepada Si Luncai. Akibat kata-katanya, dia dimurkai oleh raja.

Apa tidaknya, ketika menghadap raja, terluncur kata dari mulutnya bahawa muka raja mirip wajah arwah bapanya. Raja yang zalim itu terasa dipersendakan. Baginya, mukanya tidak sekali-kali boleh disamakan dengan rakyat biasa. Apatah lagi dengan muka arwah bapa Si Luncai yang miskin dan dipandang hina itu. Tanpa mempertimbangkan perkara ini dengan adil dan teliti, raja pun menjatuhkan hukuman. Penghinaan Si Luncai mesti dibayar dengan nyawa.Oleh itu, Si Luncai dihukum bunuh secara dicampakkan ke tengah laut.

Namun Si Luncai bukan anak sembarangan. Yang miskin cuma hartanya, bukan minda dan ketangkasan fikirannya. Otaknya bergeliga dengan pelbagai taktik licik untuk menyelesaikan masalah. Walaupun telah dihukum mati, Si Luncai tidak panik. Sebelum dia dibawa dengan sampan untuk dicampakkan ke tengah laut, dia sempat membeli sebiji labu besar. Sejak itu dia menangis berhiba-hiba sambil mengusap-usap labu itu.

Selang beberapa ketika, dua orang pengawal istana pun tiba untuk melaksanakan hukuman. Dengan senjata yang lengkap, mereka berdua bersedia untuk membawa Si Luncai dengan sampan untuk dihumban ke tengah laut. Menyedari kedatangan pengawal itu, Si Luncai pun tambah beria-ia menangis sambil membelai-belai labu airnya. Melihat telatah Si Luncai, dua pengawal kehairanan lalu bertanya, “Kenapa kamu menangis dan memeluk labu ini?” Si Luncai pun menjawab, “Hamba terkenangkan arwah bapa hamba, bukankah hamba akan berjumpanya sebentar lagi.”

Melihat perilaku Si Luncai itu, kedua-dua pengawal berasa kasihan. Mereka pun membenarkan Si Luncai membawa labu itu bersama dalam sampan untuk menuju ke tengah laut. Sewaktu mereka sedang mengayuh, Si Luncai pun memulakan strategi untuk menyelamatkan diri. Dia berkata, “Sebelum hamba mati, bolehkah tuan hamba berdua menunaikan hajat hamba?” Seorang daripada pengawal itu menjawab, “Boleh jika hajat itu tidak berat.”

Si Luncai gembira seraya berkata, “Memang tidak berat. Tuan hamba berdua hanya perlu menyanyi satu lagu untuk hamba.” “Lagu apa?” tanya kedua-dua pengawal itu. “Mudah sahaja, pengawal yang duduk di belakang hamba hendaklah mengulang kata yang begini, Si Luncai terjun dengan labu-labunya. Manakala tuan hamba yang di hadapan pula membalas, Biarkan, biarkan … .” “Baiklah,” jawab kedua-dua pengawal itu tanpa mengesyaki apa-apa. Mereka pun sama-sama menyanyi. Si Luncai terjun dengan labu-labunya. Biarkan, biarkan...

Senikata itu dilagukan berulang-ulang serentak dengan kayuhan sampan. Semakin lama semakin rancak. Setelah agak lama, kedua-dua pengawal itu semakin terleka. Pada saat itulah Si Luncai pun terjun dari sampan untuk menyelamatkan diri. Melihat hal itu, pengawal yang di belakang segera memberitahu kawannya yang di hadapan, “Si Luncai terjun dengan labunya!” Malangnya, pengawal di hadapan terus menjawab, “Biarkan, biarkan…” Dia menyangka, pemberitahuan itu masih lagi sebahagian senikata lagu yang mereka nyanyikan sebelumnya.

Setelah Si Luncai jauh berenang menyelamatkan diri, barulah pengawal dihadapan itu menyedari kejadian sebenarnya. Tetapi apa boleh buat, Si Luncai telah berjaya menyelamatkan diri. Mereka pun pulang tanpa memberitahu raja hal sebenarnya. Apa tidaknya, jika silap perhitungan, mereka pula akan dihukum. Si Luncai yang telah selamat daripada lemas, lari menyembunyikan diri. Namun dalam hatinya menyimpan dendam yang sangat mendalam kepada raja yang zalim dan angkuh itu. Setiap hari dia memikirkan bagaimanakah caranya untuk membalas dendam. Padanya, raja adil raja disembah, raja zalim, raja disanggah. Setelah beberapa hari lamanya, barulah Si Luncai mendapat idea.

Pada hari yang terpilih itu, Si Luncai pun mengenakan baju serba putih lengkap dengan serbannya sekali. Imej yang dibinanya adalah imej orang alim lagi warak. Setelah itu dia pun dengan beraninya pergi ke istana raja. Melihat Si Luncai datang, terkejutlah seisi istana, kerana tidak menyangka yang Si Luncai telah ‘hidup’ kembali. Raja pun keluar dan terjadilah pertemuan baginda dengan Si Luncai buat kali kedua.

“Apa yang terjadi kepada kamu?” tanya baginda. “Alhamdulillah, patik sekarang telah insaf … patik akan menjadi orang alim. Patik tidak perlukan apa-apa lagi dalam hidup ini.” “Apa yang terjadi kepada kamu?” “Patik telah sampai ke alam arwah dan bertemu dengan arwah-arwah orang yang telah mati … termasuk arwah ayah patih dan almarhum ayahanda tuanku.” “Armarhum ayahanda beta? Bagaimana gerangannya di sana?”

“Ampun, tuanku. Almarhum sangat dukacita kerana perbuatan tuanku.”

“Apa yang beta lakukan?” “Entahlah, almarhum cuma berdiam diri. Katanya baginda ingin bertemu sendiri dengan tuanku untuk memberi nasihat,” kata Si Luncai. “Bagaimana, bolehkah beta bertemu ayahanda beta?” “Masakan tidak, hamba yang hina ini pun boleh, apalagi tuanku yang mulia.”

Si Luncai tersenyum dalam hatinya. Perangkapnya sudah mengena. Raja yang zalim tapi bodoh itu akan berjaya ditipunya.

“Bagimanakah cara?” tanya raja. “Begini … tuanku hendaklah masuk ke dalam laut dalam peti yang dilubangi. Patik dahulu pun begitu juga. Di dasar lautlah akan berlaku pertemuan itu nanti.”

Tanpa berfikir panjang, raja pun bersetuju. Pendek cerita, raja pun dibuang ke laut di dalam peti yang berlubang. Apalagi, air pun masuk dan raja pun mati lemas. Si Luncai lari menyembunyikan diri dan tidak diketahui lagi keadaan dan nasibnya selepas itu.

Tema

Tema cerita ini adaah mengenai kezaliman dan kecerdikan. Kita dapat lihat kezaliman raja terhadap Si Luncai yang senang-senang sahaja menjatuhkan hukuman mati atas sebab yang tidak relevan dan kecerdikan Si Luncai untuk menyelamatkan diri daripada di campak ke laut.

Pengajaran

Cerita ini juga mengisahkan bagaimana akibat buruk yang boleh menimpa rakyat jika diperintah secara zalim oleh seorang pemerintah yang ego dan dungu. Pemerintah yang begini bukan sahaja berpotensi memporak-perandakan negara bahkan akhirnya memakan diri sendiri. Orang yang boleh ditipu hanya orang yang dungu. Orang yang boleh digertak, hanya orang yang banyak salah. Si Luncai tahu itulah hakikat raja yang sedang dihadapinya. Dan kita mesti membuktikan bahawa kita lebih cerdik dan lebih baik dengan memantapkan ilmu, amal dan bertaubat. Tidak ada jalan pintas ke syurga. Biarlah Si Luncai terjun dengan labu-labunya!

Pak Pandir and His Child

Story

One day, Pak Pandir was walking along a small lane on the way home after running an errand for his wife. He came across a piece of feces which was still fresh and warm. Curious of what it was, he decided to scoop it up and have a closer look.

“Hmm, the shape is like feces!” he exclaimed, nodding his head.

“Soft like feces!” he uttered excitedly after fingering it.

“Smell like feces!” he said after putting it near his nose.

Then Pak Pandir put the thing onto his tongue and licked it.

“Definitely it is feces, luckily I didn’t step onto it, thank God!” he laughed happily before going home to his wife.



     But Pak Pandir’s foolishness soon turned tragic. One day, Mak Andih was invited to attend a wedding feast of her relative. She got dressed and before leaving the house, she told her husband to stay home as their infant son was still sleeping soundly in the sarung.

“I have boiled a pot of water on the stove,” she told him. “When the baby wakes up, give him a bath using the water I have just boiled,” she instructed him and left.

​

     Soon the baby woke up. Pak Pandir quickly poured the hot water into a tub and put the baby inside. The water was still very hot and as a result, the baby kicked furiously and screamed loudly. Thinking his son loved the water so much and was squeaking from delights, Pak Pandir kept him inside the hot water even longer. Alas, the poor baby eventually died from scalding. When Mak Andih came back from the feast, she asked her husband about their infant son.

“He enjoyed the bath very much and now he went to sleep again,” he told her. When she went to the sarung and tried to wake him up for feeding, she found that he was motionless. In a fury, Mak Andih chased her husband around the house and beat him for his stupidity. Mak Andih was very sad to lose her baby.

​

     After evening prayers, both husband and wife wrapped the body with “mengkuang” leaves (a kind of screw pine used for mat-making) and Pak Pandir took the body to bury in the village cemetery. He put it over his shoulder but on the way, the body slipped out and fell onto the ground. Pak Pandir was not aware and walked on without looking back. When he reached the burial ground, he took out a hoe, dug a hole and buried the empty case.

​

     Then he walked back home. On the way back, he saw a body on the ground. Thinking it was the dead child of another family because all babies looked the same to him, he ran happily home to tell his wife what he saw.

“Mak Andih, Mak Andih, we are not the only one to lose a baby! Another family also lost theirs! So, it was not something to be sad about!” he tried to comfort his wife.

Theme

In this story, the theme is about naive. We can see this from Pak Pandir character which kill his own son during the bath time with hot water.

Moral Value

The moral values that we can get from this story are we have to think critically before doing something. Furthermore, we have to gain a lot of knowledge to be use in the future so we will not be like Pak Pandir. Besides that, do not do anything in a hurry. Think the solution first before take an action.
