Peninsular , there lived a mousedeer named Sang Kancil. It was very clever. Sang Kancil loved to eat tropical fruits such as rambutans, durians and his favourite fruit was guava or jambu air. One hot afternoon, Sang Kancil felt very thirsty, so, he went down to the river to drink. When he reached there, he saw a guava tree on the opposite side of the river with delicious guavas. “Wow, my favourite guava is there.” said Sang Kancil excitedly. “But how do I cross the river? The river is wide and deep and I can’t swim,” he thought to himself.
Sang Kancil looked around and thought for a while.
In the excitement of looking at the fruit tree, Sang kancil did not notice a sleeping crocodile. The crocodile was in deep sleep. (SOUND)…… Suddenly, the crocodile heard a loud voice and he woke up. “What are you doing here, mousedeer?” asked crocodile.
“Sang Buaya , I called you many times but you did
not hear me. You must be deaf.” lied the mousedeer.
“Oh! really, so what do you want from me?.”
“Well, I don’t want anything from you Sang Buaya. But I’m here on the Sultan’s order. His Majesty wants me to count the number of crocodiles in the river. And there will be handsome rewards for all of you if you help me”. The crocodile laughed heartily. “Ha…ha…ha(3x). Oh, really. You don’t try to trick me”, said Sang Buaya. “No, no , I have never tried to fool you.” said Sang Kancil.
The crocodile felt so excited and quickly called the
other crocodiles to line up. “Dear friends, the majesty wants to count us. Therefore, I would like to welcome all of you to line up now.”
After all the crocodiles lined up , Sang Kancil then
hopped, skipped and jumped on the back of each crocodile counting aloud as well as singing merrily .
“One, two, three fools , the delicious guavas I must
have. I taught I counted wrongly. Sorry. I count again. “One, two, three fools , the delicious guavas I must have. Finally, Sang Kancil reached the opposite bank happily. “Thanks for helping me to cross the river, Sang Buaya. Now I can eat my favourite guava. Ha…ha… ha(3x).”said the mousedeer to the angry crocodiles.
