Narrative Text Fable - Kancil and the giant Story

One beautiful morning Kancil decided to fish in a certain river. On the way he met his friend, Swine,
who stopped him for a chat. When Swine heard that Kancil wanted to go fishing, he asked whether he
could join him, Kancil did not object, as Swine promised to help him with the work. The two of them went
on together and soon they met Tiger and Elephant. When they heard that Kancil and Swine were going to
the river, they decide to go along, too. And so the four animals went together to the river to fish.

Kancil and the giant story

When they arrived at the river bank, Kancil immediately began to give orders left and right.
Elephant had to dam the river with stones and tree trunks. Tiger and Swine had to throw away the river
water while Kancil himself set out to catch the fish left on the dry river bed. There were, however, few
fish, so they decided to go further down the river to try their lick again. Kancil ordered Swine to stay
behind with their catch. He himself went with Tiger and Elephant further downstream where the tree of
them began their work all over again.

Meanwhile, a giant came to the place where Swine sat. As soon as he saw the glittering fish, he
grabbed them greedily and stuffied them what into his mouth. It was useless for Swine to protect and
the giant did not even listen to him. Swine ran toward his friends and told them had happened. Of course,
the three others were bot very pleased.

The second time, too, they did not catch enough fish. did not even listen to him. Ordered Tiger to
stay behind with their second catch, while he, Swine and Elephant went further away to dam the river at
another place. As soon as the three of them were out of sight, the hungry giant came from behind the
bushes and ate up all the fish. Tiger snarled angrily, but he did not dare to fight the giant.

When the other animals came back with their catch they found a very ashamed Tiger without a single fish.
Kancil scolded him until he became red in the face. Now it was Elephants turn to play guard.
You are so big. Friend Elephant. Certainly, we can trust you to defend our fish, said Kancil.
For the third time the giant came to eat the fish. When Elephant saw how big he was, he became
afraid and let the giant steal their fish. Kancil and the others came back, they found the basket empty
again. Kancil was very angry with his three friends. He shouted, Whats the use of having such big and
strong bodies, if you cant even chase away one single giant. This time I will stay here myself. Do you think
I am too small to do this job? Go away , the three of you, and catch as a many fish as you can. When you
come back, you will find that robber lying here in front of me, bound and helpless.

After Swine, Tiger and Elephant had gone away, Kancil plucked a big bunch of reeds from the river
side. He tied these reeds around his body. Then lying down under the nearest tree, he bound the reed
ends to the roots of the tree. He was very busy tying himself when the giant came. Kancil pretended not
to see him and went on with his work. The giant became curious and instead of grabbing the fish he
stopped to look sown at Kancil and asked what he was doing.

Well. Well. Dont you know what is going happen today? asked Kancil in a surprised tone.
What is going to happen today? asked the giant curiously.
I thought everybody knew about it, answered Kancil. You must have been asleep when Nabi
Sulaiman came into the forest to warn all the animals about the big flood. The big flood will carry
everybody away to the see, unless he takes precaution to be safe.
Oh, I have not heard about this flood, answered the giant, who believe every word Kancil said, Tell
me, what do you do to avoid being carried away?
Dont you see what I am doing said Kancil. I bind myself to these roots, so that the water will not
drag me away

Thats a very good idea, said the stupid giant. Wont you help me a little?
Why not? I am always ready to help somebody in need, answered Kancil. But these reeds are not
strong enough to hold your heavy body. Why dont you go into the forest and collect a big bunch of thick
rattan? I shall wait for you here. But hurry, we dont have much time as the flood will come soon after
noon.
Narrative Text Fable - Kancil and the giant Story
The stupid giant, afraid of losing his life, ran into the woods and soon came back with a big load of rattan.
Kancil told him to bind his own legs tightly together with the rattan, then sit with his back against a big
tree so that Kancil could help him tie his body against the tree trunk. The giant did everything Kancil said.
Soon he was sitting boud and helpless against the tree. To be completely safe, Kancil wound several more
pieces of rattan round him so that the giant could hardly move.

Then the clever little animal called out to his friends who were still busy catching fish some distance
away. Swine, Tiger and Elephant did not have much trouble killing their enemy.
Of course, Kancil did not tell them that he had tricked the giant, and the other three animals
thought that he had fought with him. They all admired his enormous strength. They gave Kancil the
biggest share of the fish, and after having finished their meal each of them went his own way.
