MOUSEDEER  AND TIGER

One day, Tiger was walking along the forest. Suddenly he saw Kancil playing a stick with his front legs in the forest.Tiger wanted to know what Kancil really did.

“What are you doing, Kancil?” asked Tiger.

“Shh, don’t disturb me, Tiger.” Answered Kancil, “I’m thinking of a present from Nabi Suleiman.”

“A present?” asked Tiger.

“Yes, a present,” said Kancil.

“What present is it?” Asked Tiger.

“I don’t know, but it must be very beautiful or expensive. Nabi Suleiman is very rich, isn’t he?” Kancil answered .

“I know it. But why will he give you a present?” said Tiger.

“Well, because I help him guard his holy drum.”

“What drum? Where is it?” asked Tiger 

“A holy drum. It is up there in the tree,” said Kancil.

“I think it is not a drum. It is a beehive,”said Tiger.

“A beehive? How dare you compare his holy drum with a beehive,”criedKancil,

 “Be careful with your mouth, Tiger.”

“Ok Kancil, I’m very sorry. May I play the drum, then?”

“Oh, no Tiger.Nabi Suleiman will be very angry with me.”

“Please, Kancil, just one or two minutes, “ begged Tiger.

“All right. I give you three minutes to play the drum.”answered Kancil,

“But let me go a bit far from here because I’m afraid Nabi Suleiman is angry with me.”

“Ok, go quickly Kancil,” said Tiger.

When Kancil is far from the drum, tiger beat the drum with Kancil’s stick.

Suddenly, thousand of bees flew out of their home and stung Tiger. Tiger cried loudly for help but Kancil was not there.

“Oh no…?! Help….help…help me,kancil?! Cried the tiger.

Finally Tiger ran into the river, jumped into the river so that the bees left him.
