Dongeng Singkat The Tortoise and The Birds

Once upon a time, all the birds were invited to a feast by the people of the sky. Tortoise was very clever and very hungry and as soon as it heard about the great feast, it began to plan how it would travel to the sky.

Tortoise went to the birds and asked if it could go with them. The birds agreed and they each give it a feather, with which it made a pair of wings.

The great day came and Tortoise and the birds set off on their journey.

There in one important thing which we must not forget, they said, as they flew. When people are invited to a great feast like this, they use new names. So, they each used a new name and so did Tortoise. It was to be called all of you.

Finally, the birds and Tortoise arrived at the party. The people of the sky invited the birds to eat the delicious food they had prepared, but then Tortoise asked, For whom have you prepared this feast?

For all of you, replied the people on the sky.

Tortoise turned in the birds and said, Remember that my name is all of you. You will eat after me.

The birds waited angrily as Tortoise ate and drank most of the feast. Then they came forward to eat, but a few of them were too angry to eat. Before flying home, each bird took back the feather it had lent Tortoise. So, there Tortoise stood in its hard shell full of food and drink, but without any wings to fly home. It asked the birds to pass a message to its wife, but they all refused except Parrot.

Parrot, my good friend, said Tortoise, Please ask my wife to bring out all the soft item from our house so that I can jump down from the sky safely.

Parrot flew away, but when it reached Tortoises house, Parrot ask Tortoises wife to bring out all the hard items from the house. Tortoise looked down from the sky and saw its wife, but it was too far to see what its wife was bringing out.

When everything was ready, it jumped. It fell and fell and fell and landed with a great crash on the ground. It wasnt hurt but its shell broke into pieces.However, there was a good doctor in the neighbourhood. Tortoises wife sent for him and he collected all the bits of Tortoises shell and stuck them together. That is why, Tortoises shell is not smooth.

Legenda Candi PrambananDi dekat kota Yogyakarta terdapat candi Hindu yang paling indah di Indonesia. Candi ini dibangun dalam abad kesembilan Masehi. Karena terletak di desa Prambanan, maka candi ini disebut candi Prambanan tetapi juga terkenal sebagai candi Lara Jonggrang, sebuah nama yang diambil dari legenda Lara Jonggrang dan Bandung Bondowoso. Beginilah ceritanya.

Konon tersebutlah seorang raja yang bernama Prabu Baka. Beliau bertahta di Prambanan. Raja ini seorang raksasa yang menakutkan dan besar kekuasaannya. Meskipun demikian, kalau sudah takdir, akhirnya dia kalah juga dengan Raja Pengging. Prabu Baka meninggal di medan perang. Kemenangan Raja Pengging itu disebabkan karena bantuan orang kuat yang bernama Bondowoso yang juga terkenal sebagai Bandung Bondowoso karena dia mempunyai senjata sakti yang bernama Bandung.

Dengan persetujuan Raja Pengging, Bandung Bondowoso menempati Istana Prambanan. Di sini dia terpesona oleh kecantikan Lara Jonggrang, putri bekas lawannya -- ya, bahkan putri raja yang dibunuhnya. Bagaimanapun juga, dia akan memperistrinya.

Lara Jonggrang takut menolak pinangan itu. Namun demikian, dia tidak akan menerimanya begitu saja. Dia mau kawin dengan Bandung Bondowoso asalkan syarat-syaratnya dipenuhi. Syaratnya ialah supaya dia dibuatkan seribu candi dan dua sumur yang dalam. Semuanya harus selesai dalam waktu semalam. Bandung Bondowoso menyanggupinya, meskipun agak keberatan. Dia minta bantuan ayahnya sendiri, orang sakti yang mempunyai balatentara roh-roh halus.

Pada hari yang ditentukan, Bandung Bondowoso beserta pengikutnya dan roh-roh halus mulai membangun candi yang besar jumlahnya itu. Sangatlah mengherankan cara dan kecepatan mereka bekerja. Sesudah jam empat pagi hanya tinggal lima buah candi yang harus disiapkan. Di samping itu sumurnya pun sudah hampir selesai.

Seluruh penghuni Istana Prambanan menjadi kebingungan karena mereka yakin bahwa semua syarat Lara Jonggrang akan terpenuhi. Apa yang harus diperbuat? Segera gadis-gadis dibangunkan dan disuruh menumbuk padi di lesung serta menaburkan bunga yang harum baunya. Mendengar bunyi lesung dan mencium bau bunga-bungaan yang harum, roh-roh halus menghentikan pekerjaan mereka karena mereka kira hari sudah siang. Pembuatan candi kurang sebuah, tetapi apa hendak dikata, roh halus berhenti mengerjakan tugasnya dan tanpa bantuan mereka tidak mungkin Bandung Bondowoso menyelesaikannya.

Keesokan harinya waktu Bandung Bondowoso mengetahui bahwa usahanya gagal, bukan main marahnya. Dia mengutuk para gadis di sekitar Prambanan -- tidak akan ada orang yang mau memperistri mereka sampai mereka menjadi perawan tua. Sedangkan Lara Jonggrang sendiri dikutuk menjadi arca. Arca tersebut terdapat dalam ruang candi yang besar yang sampai sekarang dinamai candi Lara Jonggrang. Candi-candi yang ada di dekatnya disebut Candi Sewu yang artinya seribu.

Cerita Inggris Indonesia: Why Snails Climb up Grass - Long long ago, Mr. Fish, Mr. Fly, Mr. Wasp and Mr. snail lived together in a small house. They divided the work among themselves. Mr. fish was the biggest and strongest.

He was made the head of the house and his job was to find food. Mr. Fly, who could fly very fast, was made a messenger. Mr. Wasp was made a guard because of his painful sting. And Mr. Snail, who could only move slowly, looked after the house.

Early one day, Mr. Fish went out to look for food. He swam slowly in a nearby river. Suddenly, he saw something moving in the water. It was a big frog. What a lovely meal. He thought. He quickly seized the frog in his mouth and started to swim home.

But he did not know there was a hook inside the frog which was tied to a string. Someone pulled the string and soon Mr. Fish found himself inside a fishermans basket. The fisherman took him home and ate him.

Of course, his friends did not know what had happened to him. They waited for him for several days. By this time, they all felt very hungry. Then Mr. Fly was sent out to look for Mr. Fish. Suddenly, he saw something moving in the water below. It was a fish whose lips moved in and out on the surface of the water.

Mr. Fly was angry. He thought the fish was laughing at him.

Dont laugh me! he cried, Im looking for my friend Mr. Fish, have you seen him?

But the fish still seemed to laugh at him. Mr. Fly flew lower and lower as he wanted to bite the fish. Suddenly, he felt very weak. He had not eaten any food for such a long time. His wings became heavier and heavier. Plop! he fell into the water and the fish swallowed him in a second.

Mr. Wasp and Mr. Snail were still waiting for Mr. Fish and Mr. Fly to return. Although they were both hungry, Mr. Snail was not as hungry as Mr. Wasp. He could eat mud while Mr. wasp could only tighten his belt. At last, Mr. wasp could not stand it any longer.

He flew out of the house to look for Mr. Fish and Mr. Fly. While he was flying, his hunger became worse. He tightened his belt again and again until finally he broke into two. That was the end of Mr. Wasp.

Now only Mr. Snail was left. He left the house to look for his three friends. He was crying because he felt so lonely. Whenever he found some grass, he would climb up it to look around for his friends. Even today snails still cry, and whenever they see any grass they will climb up it and look around for their old friends.

How Bear Lost His Tail Native American Lore

Back in the old days, Bear had a tail which was his proudest possession. It was long and black and glossy and Bear used to wave it around just so that people would look at it. Fox saw this. Fox, as everyone knows, is a trickster and likes nothing better than fooling others. So it was that he decided to play a trick on Bear. It was the time of year when Hatho, the Spirit of Frost, had swept across the land, covering the lakes with ice and pounding on the trees with his big hammer. Fox made a hole in the ice, right near a place where Bear liked to walk. By the time Bear came by, all around Fox, in a big circle, were big trout and fat perch. Just as Bear was about to ask Fox what he was doing, Fox twitched his tail which he had sticking through that hole in the ice and pulled out a huge trout. "Greetings, Brother," said Fox. "How are you this fine day?" "Greetings," answered Bear, looking at the big circle of fat fish. " I am well, Brother. But what are you doing?" "I am fishing," answered Fox. "Would you like to try?" "Oh, yes," said Bear, as he started to lumber over to Fox's fishing hole. But Fox stopped him. "Wait, Brother," he said, "This place will not be good. As you can see, I have already caught all the fish. Let us make you a new fishing spot where you can catch many big trout." Bear agreed and so he followed Fox to the new place, a place where, as Fox knew very well, the lake was too shallow to catch the winter fish--which always stay in the deepest water when Hatho has covered their ponds. Bear watched as Fox made the hole in the ice, already tasting the fine fish he would soon catch. "Now," Fox said, "you must do just as I tell you. Clear your mind of all thoughts of fish. Do not even think of a song or the fish will hear you. Turn your back to the hole and place your tail inside it. Soon a fish will come and grab your tail and you can pull him out." "But how will I know if a fish has grabbed my tail if my back is turned?" asked Bear. "I will hide over here where the fish cannot see me," said Fox. "When a fish grabs your tail, I will shout. Then you must pull as hard as you can to catch your fish. But you must be very patient. Do not move at all until I tell you." Bear nodded, "I will do exactly as you say." He sat down next to the hole, placed his long beautiful black tail in the icy water and turned his back. Fox watched for a time to make sure that Bear was doing as he was told and then, very quietly, sneaked back to his own house and went to bed. The next morning he woke up and thought of Bear. "I wonder if he is still there," Fox said to himself. "I'll just go and check." So Fox went back to the ice covered pond and what do you think he saw? He saw what looked like a little white hill in the middle of the ice. It had snowed during the night and covered Bear, who had fallen asleep while waiting for Fox to tell him to pull his tail and catch a fish. And Bear was snoring. His snores were so loud that the ice was shaking. It was so funny that Fox rolled with laughter. But when he was through laughing, he decided the time had come to wake up poor Bear. He crept very close to Bear's ear, took a deep breath, and then shouted: "Now, Bear!!!" Bear woke up with a start and pulled his long tail hard as he could. But his tail had been caught in the ice which had frozen over during the night and as he pulled, it broke off -- Whack! -- just like that. Bear turned around to look at the fish he had caught and instead saw his long lovely tail caught in the ice. "Ohhh," he moaned, "ohhh, Fox. I will get you for this." But Fox, even though he was laughing fit to kill was still faster than Bear and he leaped aside and was gone. So it is that even to this day Bears have short tails and no love at all for Fox. And if you ever hear a bear moaning, it is probably because he remembers the trick Fox played on him long ago and he is mourning for his lost tail.

By the end of dusk, the scare crow had been ready and taken and set in the middle of the field.I know the mousedeer is a smart animal, he will mock this scarecrow butlet me see what is going to happen, the farmer thought. That's true, in the darkness of the night the smart mousedeer was coming toward the field. The mousedeer laughed to know there was a scare crow. "Just a scare crow, who is scared?" he said to himself.Then the mousedeer came and passed the sticky doll, but his behaviour of rose. Ike hit the scare crow with his front legs. "Auch! Why have my legs stuck with it?" He cried surprisingly. The sticky glue laid on. it was so strong that he could not take his legs off. He could only cry all night long. The following day the farmer came around the corner carrying a bar of bamboo stick for beating. "Well, well, well, this is the trouble maker, I catch you now!""Forgive me Mr. Farmer, I didn't ruin your cucumber. I just ate two or three cucumbers". The mousedeer told a lie. But Mr. Farmer didn't trust him anymore. He bend the mousedeer and dragged him home. In the farmer's house, the mousedeer was put inside a chicken cage. "This stone is heavy enough, it is impossible for you to slip off, I am going to the market to buy spicy". "Please forgive me Mr. Farmer. don't eat me", the mousedeer cried. When Mr. Farmer was away to the market, there was a dog coming toward the cage."Hey Cil, why are you caged?", the dog asked him."I'll become a son in law of Mr. Farmer", the mousedeer answered. "Yes I am going to get married with his beautiful daughter", he added. "Where is Mr. Farmer now?" the dog asked. "He is shopping to prepare delicious food for a big party", the mousedeer exclaimed."It doesn't suit you. Your body is small. I will be better to replace you to become a son in law of Mr. Farmer", the dog said."No way, no way! go away dirty dog", the mousedeer pretended.The dog suddenly groaming angrily. "If you don't want to be replaced now, I will push the stone on top of the cage and I will bite you and break your neck off, the dog said angrily."Easy boy ..., don't be like that. If you want it ... I will do what you want". The mousedeer now felt that he could trick the dog successfully.The dog pushed the stone until it fell down off the cage. It made the mousedeer could lift and open it easily. The mousedeer got out of the cage then the dog got into the, cage."Congratulation on your becoming Mr. Farmer's son in law", the mousedeer said and ran away satisfactorily.A few minutes later, Mr. Farmer came, he was surprised to see the dog inside the cage instead of the mousedeer."My regard for you, my father in law, the dog said proudly", the mousedeer has given his right to me to become your son in law. I am the strongest and the most courageous dog in this village"."Then, where is the mousedeer?" Mr. Farmer asked."He has gone to the jungle, Mr. Farmer. He is not suitable with your beautiful daughter. He is not handsome and he is not strong either, but I am", the dog replied."Do you want to become my son in law?" Mr. Farmer asked."Yes, Mr. Farmer", the dog answered happily."Now, get out of the cage then sit down sweetly, and close your eyes, I will call my daughter", Mr. Farmer said. The dog waited nervously, then Mr. Farmer came back not with his daughter but with a cudgel in his hand."This is a present for you", the farmer shouted angrily then hit the head and the back of the dog hard till it cried in pain. "Please forgive me, Mr. Farmer, what's wrong with me, please don't hit me like that" the dog ran away creaming.

Mousedeer and Crocodiles

The dog was so furious that it ran after the mousedeer but it couldn't catch him because the mousedeer hid behind the bush smartly. The dog barked and could only say, "You are liar! You told me that I would be the farmer's son in law ..., the fact that Mr. Farmer would slaughter you to be made satay!"Despite his small body, mousedeer had always brilliant ideas so that he hid under thick bushes in order not to be seen. If it were racing with the dog, mousedeer would surely lose. "What a stupid dog!" the mousedeer said in laughter. He carefully covered the traces of his feet with the dust so that the dog wouldn't know where the mousedeer was.When it was safe the mousedeer came out of the bushes and ran in different direction with the poor dog. This time he arrived in the bank of a deep river. "It seems that it is a very deep river", he said to himself and thought for a few minutes to find the way to cross it. "I've got an idea", he whispered. Then he walked toward a group of banana trees, he pushed them strongly till they fell down one by one.Several minutes later he tied several logs and the rowing boat was ready to cross the river. "How heavy it is", he thought while dragging it into the river.He was not aware that several hungry crocodiles were watching him from the distance. Suddenly a big crocodile caught him from behind ... but this time he was late. His left leg had been stabbed with the sharp teeth of the crocodile. "Auch ... hey ... wait a minute Mr. Crocodile!" the mousedeer begged."Wait for what? I am starving!" the crocodile said."Don't worry, Mr. Crocodile, it is impossible for me to fight with you, I'm starving, too. My stomach is empty, my body contains no meat, let me look for food first!" the mousedeer said.The crocodile agreed, he took his sharp teeth off the mousedeer's leg. "Then, what do you want?" the crocodile asked. "You have a lot of friends, don't you?" the mousedeer asked. "Yes, you're right, I'll call my friends".Then in a short time, a great number of crocodiles rose on the surface of the river. "One of you must take me to cross this river to seek some meal so that my body is fat enough for you all to eat", the mousedeer said."Hey, the mousedeer, don't try to trick me, will you?" Mr. Crocodile warned him. "How do I dare to trick you, you are so strong and powerfull no one dares to trick you!" the mousedeer convinced."Well, ok, I'll take you there and you must eat a lot of food to make you fat", the crocodile agreed. The mousedeer jumped on the crocodile's back hurriedly and the crocodile swam across the river with him. "Wow what a nice sailing!" the mousedeer shouted cheerfully. "For the time being, enjoy your trip but by and by I'll swallow you", the crocodile thought."Remember little mousedeer, don't try to trick me", Mr. Crocodile reminded him while waiting on the river bank. After eating a lot of fruits and cucumber, the mousedeer backed to the river bank where there was the crocodile waiting. The mousedeer was so full that he looked a little bit fatter than he used to be. "Mr. Crocodile, how many friends of yours are there in the river?" the mousedeer started to play a trick again. "Many!" the crocodile answered. "How many are there precisely?" the mousedeer asked again. "I can't count them, there are a great number, and also I've never counted them!" the crocodile shouted angrily. "It's too bad, how can you share and devide my body if you don't know the number of your friend?" the mousedeer asked. "Well, if so, I myself will count the number of your friends, and now you must form a line across this river."That's right, I agree with you, remember I'm the leader in this river so that I have the right to have your delicious tight", the crocodile claimed. In a few minutes the crocodiles have made a formation of a line across the river. Later, the mousedeer jumped on the crocodiles back one by one while counting them ... one, two, three ... arriving in another side of the river, the mousedeer waved his hard happily saying thanks to all crocodiles who could only stare at him."Hey ... stop!!! don't go away! I've not eaten you, yet!" but the mousedeer kept running away from them. He didn't care of them anymore and walked into the jungle.
