Ulangkisah oleh: Kak Nurul Ihsan
Ada seekor serigaka yang licik.
Ia suka berpura-pura bersikap baik pada tetangganya.
Suatu malam, ia sengaja mengundang Bu Bangau tetangganya yang paling dekat untuk makan malam.
Pak Rubah sudah menyiapkan hidangan sup yang sangat lezat.
Namun, dasar licik.
Pak Rubah menghidangkan supnya itu di dalam piring ceper yang sangat dangkal.
Wah, tentu saja.
Bu Bangau yang berparuh panjang kesulitan menyantap sup itu.
Piring itu hanya cocok untuk makan Pak Rubah yang bermulut pendek.
Diperlakukan seperti itu, Bu Bangau hanya diam saja.
Bahkan, ia malah mangundang Pak Rubah untuk makan malam ke rumahnya besok malam.
Di rumah, Bu Bangau sudah menyiapakan hidangan sup jamur yang sangat lezat.
“Silakan, Pak Rubah. Dimakan supnya,” kata Bu Bangau mempersilakan.
Namun, Pak Rubah kebingungan.
Karena Bu Bangau menghidangkan sup itu di dalam tempat yang sangat tinggi dan sempit sehingga Pak Rubah tidak bisa memasukkan mulutnya yang besar ke dalam wadah itu.
Wadah itu hanya cocok untuk makan Bu Bangau saja yang berparuh panjang dan kecil runcing. ***
Pesan Moral
Bila kita suka menipu orang lain, maka orang lain pun bisa membalas menipu kita.
The Fox and the Crane (Phaedrus)
Repeat story by: Kak Nurul Ihsan
There is a cunning wolf.
He likes to pretend to be nice to his neighbors.
One night, he accidentally invited his closest neighbor Mrs. Stork to have dinner.
Mr. Fox has prepared a very delicious soup dish.
However, you sneaky one.
Mr. Fox served the soup in a very shallow flat plate.
Wow, of course.
Mrs. Stork, who had a long beak, had a hard time eating the soup.
The plate was only suitable for short-mouthed Mr. Fox to eat.
Treated like that, Mrs. Stork just said nothing.
In fact, he even invited Mr. Fox to have dinner at his house the next night.
At home, Mrs. Stork has prepared a very delicious mushroom soup dish.
“Go ahead, Mister Fox. Eat the soup,” said Mrs. Stork invitingly.
However, Mr. Fox was confused.
Because Miss Crane served the soup in a very high and narrow place so that Mr. Fox couldn’t get his big mouth into the container.
The container was only suitable for eating, Miss Heron, who had a long and sharp beak. ***
Moral message
If we like to deceive others, then other people can deceive us in return.
