A Woman and the Wolves

A long time ago, very few people lived in the New Territories. There were only a few villages. If the
people wanted to go from one village to another, they often had to pass through wild and unsafe
forest.

One day, a farmer’s young wife went to the next village to visit her own mother and brother. She
brought along her baby son. When it was time for her to leave, her brother said “ it is getting dark. Let
my son, Ah Tim go with you though the forest.”

So Ah Tim led the way and the young woman followed behind, carrying her baby. When they were in
the forest, suddenly they saw a group of wolves. They began to run to avoid the danger, but Ah Tim
kicked against a stone and fell down. At once the wolves caught him. The young woman cried to the
wolves, “ please eat my own son instead.” Then, she put her baby son on the ground in front of the
wolves and took her nephew away.

Everyone understood that this was because the woman was very good and kind. She had offered her
own son’s life to save her nephew.

They ran back to the house and called for help. All men in the village fetched thick sticks and went
back with her into the forest. When they got there, they saw something very strange. Instead of eating
the woman’s baby the wolves were playing with him.

A long time ago, very few people lived in the New Territories. There were only a few villages. If the people
wanted to go from one village to another, they often had to pass through wild and unsafe forest.
Pada jaman dahuu, sangat sedikit orang yang tinggal dalam suatu wilayah baru. Hanya ada beberapa desa.
Jika orang ingin pergi dari satu desa ke desa yang lain, mereka seringkali harus melewati hutan yang buas dan
tidak aman.
One day, a farmer’s young wife went to the next village to visit her own mother and brother. She brought
along her baby son. When it was time for her to leave, her brother said “ it is getting dark. Let my son,
Ah Tim go with you though the forest.”
Suatu hari, seorang istri petani yang masih muda ingin mengunjungi desa tetangga untuk menemui ibu dan
saudara laki lakinya. Dia memabawa anak laki – lakinya. Ketika sudah waktunya untuk pulang, kakanya
mengatakan kepadanya “ Hari sudah mulai gelap. Biarlah anak laki lakiku, AH Tim menemanimu melewati
hutan.”
So Ah Tim led the way and the young woman followed behind, carrying her baby. When they were in the
forest, suddenly they saw a group of wolves. They began to run to avoid the danger, but Ah Tim kicked
against a stone and fell down. At once the wolves caught him. The young woman cried to the wolves, “
please eat my own son instead.” Then, she put her baby son on the ground in front of the wolves and took
her nephew away.
Sehingga Ah Tim memimpin dan wanita muda tersebut mengikutinya dibelakang, sambil membawa anaknya.
Ketika mereka di hutan, tiba tiba mereka melihat segerombolan serigala. Mereka mulai berlari menghindari
bahaya tersebut, akan tetapi Ah Tim tersandung batu dan terjatuh. Dengan segera serigala tersebut
menangkapnya. Wanita muda tersebut menangis pada si Serigala, “ mohon makan saja anak ku,” kemudian dia
meletakkan bayinya di tanah depan serigala dan mengambil keponakannya.
Everyone understood that this was because the woman was very good and kind. She had offered her own
son’s life to save her nephew.
Semua orang mengetahui bahwa hal ini karena perempuan tersebut sangat baik dan ramah. Dia menawarkan
anaknya sendiri untuk menyelamatkan keponakannya.
They ran back to the house and called for help. All men in the village fetched thick sticks and went back
with her into the forest. When they got there, they saw something very strange. Instead of eating the
woman’s baby the wolves were playing with him.
Mereka kembali ke desa dan meminta bantuan. Semua laki laki di desa mengambil tongkat dan pergi ke hutan.
Ketika mereka sampai di sana, mereka melihat sesuatu yang aneh. Si serigala tidak memakan anak dari
perempuan tersebut akan tetapi malah bermain dengannya.
