Kancil Mencuri Ketimun (Mouse deer Steal Cucumber)

Pagi itu seperti biasa Pak Tani pergi ke ladang. Alangkah kagetnya tatkala melihat tanaman
mentimunnya rusak.
In the morning, as usual the farmer went to the field. How surprised was he, seeing his
cucumber was damage.
Ah, siapa yang berbuat seperti ini! Aku harus mencari akal agar mengetahui siapa yang
melakukan hal seperti ini.
Who did this! I had to look for a way to know who did this
Lalu, Pak Tani membuat boneka kayu. Setelah selesai, boneka tersebut dilumuri getah karet
mentah kemudian dipasang di tengah ladang.
Then, the farmer made a wooden doll. After that, the wooden doll was polished with latex
then put that in the middle of his field.
Kancil ternyata tahu apa yang dilakukan Pak Tani.
It turned out that Kancil knew what the farmer did.
Setelah Pak Tani pergi, Kancil mendekati boneka Pak Tani. Boneka ini tidak membuatku
takut. Apa yang bisa dilakukan boneka bodoh ini?
After the farmer left, Kancil approached the wooden doll. This doll doesnt make me scare!
What can this stupid doll do?
Ah, aku bisa makan semua mentimun di ladang! Ayo, boneka bodoh! Tangkap aku kalau
kamu bisa! ejek Kancil.
Ah, I can eat all of cucumbers in this field! Come on, stupid doll! Catch me if you can!
mocked Kancil.
Aku akan merobohkanmu! teriak Kancil sambil menendang boneka kayu dengan kaki
depannya. Tapi apa yang terjadi?
Ill break you down! shouted kancil while he kicked the wooden doll with his forelegs. But
waht happened?
Kaki kancil menempel pada boneka kayu. Tak lama kemudian, Pak Tani datang. Nasib
Kancil bagai telur di ujung tanduk*.
Kancils forelegs sticked to the wooden doll. Not so long after that, the farmer came. The fate
of Kancil like an egg on the tip of a horn*.
Aku tidak mencuri dan merusak kebunmu! kata Kancil. Mendengar Kancil yang tidak
jujur, Pak Tani berkata, Tahukah kamu, bahwa kejujuran itu sangat penting. Tanpa
kejujuran, kamu akan menjadi makhluk hina!
I dont steal and ruin your field! said kancil. Hearing Kancil lied, the farmer said, Dont
you know that honesty is really important. Without it, youll be despicable!
Kancil merasa malu dan menyesali perbuatannya. Sejak saat itu, dia tidak pernah mencuri
atau merusak tanaman Pak Tani.
Kancil was embarassed and felt guilty. Since then, he never stole or ruined the farmers field.
