Anjing yang Serakah (La Fontaine)
- Updated: Agustus 13, 2023
Ulangkisah oleh: Kak Nurul Ihsan
Dogi seekor anjing yang serakah tapi bodoh.
Suatu hari, ia membawa daging yang digigit di mulutnya.
Namun ketika melewati sebuah jembatan, tiba-tiba pikirannya berubah.
“Wah, tak kusangka! Di dalam sungai ada seekor anjing yang serupa denganku membawa daging ayam juga!”
Karena serakah tentu saja ia ingin mendapatkan daging ayam itu.
“Hehehe…. Kalau aku memiliki dua daging, tentu saja aku akan makan kenyang, dong!”
Byuuur!
Maka tanpa berpikir panjang lagi, si Dogi langsung melompat ke dalam sungai.
Karena anjing yang membawa daging ayam di dalam sungai itu hanya bayangan dirinya sendiri, tentu saja ia tak akan mendapatkannya.
Sementara itu, daging ayam yang sedang digigitnya tadi tak sengaja terlepas ketika ia meloncat ke dalam sungai.
Dan yang paling menyedihkan, dagingnya itu sekarang sudah hanyut terseret arus sungai. ***
Pesan Moral
Karena serakah bisa jadi kita tidak akan mendapatkan apa-apa.
The Greedy Dog (La Fontaine)
Repeat story by: Kak Nurul Ihsan
Dogi is a greedy but stupid dog.
One day, he brought a bit of flesh in his mouth.
But when crossing a bridge, suddenly his mind changed.
“Wow, I don’t think so! In the river there is a dog that looks like me carrying some chicken too!”
Because of greed of course he wanted to get the chicken meat.
“Hehehe…. If I have two meats, of course I will eat my fill, dong!”
Byuuur!
So without thinking anymore, Dogi immediately jumped into the river.
Because the dog that brought the chicken in the river was only his own shadow, of course he wouldn’t get it.
Meanwhile, the chicken meat that he was biting earlier was accidentally released when he jumped into the river.
And the saddest thing, the meat has now been washed away by the river current. ***
Moral message
Because greedy could be we will not get anything.
