Kancil dan Harimau
Kisah Sang Kancil dengan Pengajaran

2
Once in a forest there lived a mouse deer. It was known that this mouse deer
was clever and full of fun.
In another part of the forest lived a hungry tiger. He was looking for something
to eat.
Tiger spotted Mousedeer and his friends.
“That's a clever hiding place,” Tiger said to Mousedeer. “Mousedeer, oh come
on let's do it again. My little friend, do stay still so I can eat you.”
Suatu ketika di dalam hutan hiduplah seekor kancil.Diketahui kancil ini pandai
dan seronok. Di bahagian lain hutan itu hidup seekor harimau yang kelaparan.
Dia mencari sesuatu untuk dimakan. Harimau ternampak Kancil dan kawan-
kawannya. "Itu tempat persembunyian yang bijak," kata Tiger kepada
Mousedeer. “Kancil, oh, mari kita buat lagi. Kawan kecil saya, sila diam supaya
saya boleh makan awak.”

Mousedeer spotted a mud pool nearby and this gave him an idea.
“You can't eat me Tiger. I promised Lion, the King of the Jungle
that I would guard his pudding. His pudding Oh Tiger, is the finest
pudding in the whole world. Only the King of the Jungle deserves to eat it.”
“A King in a jungle?” Tiger said. “I'll show him who's King of the jungle.
That pudding is mine.”
Mousedeer ternampak kolam lumpur berhampiran dan ini memberinya
idea.“Awak tak boleh makan saya Tiger. Saya berjanji dengan Singa, Raja
Rimba bahawa saya akan menjaga pudingnya. Pudingnya Oh Tiger, adalah
yang terbaik puding di seluruh dunia. Hanya Raja Rimba yang layak
memakannya.” “Seorang Raja di dalam hutan?” Harimau berkata. “Saya
akan tunjukkan kepadanya siapa Raja hutan. Puding itu milik saya.”

“I can't fight you Tiger,” Mousedeer told Tiger. “You can have the pudding but
let me run far away so Lion won't blame me.” Mousedeer then started to run
away as fast as he could. Tiger chased after Mousedeer and caught up with
him. “ Wait a minute! This is mud! I've been tricked!” Tiger cried. “That wasn't
pudding, it was a mud puddle. Huh, now you're mine,” Tiger said.
Once again Mousedeer had to think of something to save himself.
He noticed a wasp nest hanging from a tree branch downwards.
"Saya tidak boleh melawan awak Tiger," Mousedeer memberitahu Tiger. "Anda boleh
makan puding tetapi biarkan saya lari jauh supaya Lion tidak akan menyalahkan saya."
Kancil kemudian mula melarikan diri secepat mungkin. Harimau mengejar Mousedeer
dan cepat mendekatinya. " Tunggu sekejap! Ini lumpur! Saya telah ditipu!” Harimau
bersuara kuat. “Itu bukan puding, ia adalah lopak lumpur. Hah, sekarang awak milik
saya,” kata Tiger. Sekali lagi Mousedeer terpaksa memikirkan sesuatu untuk
menyelamatkan dirinya. Dia perasan sarang tebuan tergantung di dahan pokok ke
bawah.

Mousedeer said to Tiger, “You can't eat me Tiger because I'm guarding Lion’s
magic drum.”
“Oh really?” Tiger shouted. “Well, what does this magic drum do?”
“The drum makes the most heavenly sound in the world but only the King of
the Jungle is allowed to hear it,” Mousedeer explained.
“Hey, who does this Lion think he is anyway,” Tiger yelled angrily. “If I want to
hit the drum I will hit the drum.”
Kancil berkata kepada Harimau, "Anda tidak boleh memakan saya Harimau
kerana saya menjaga gendang ajaib Singa." “Oh betul ke?” jerit Harimau.
"Nah, apa yang dilakukan oleh gendang ajaib ini?" "Gendang mengeluarkan
bunyi paling syurga di dunia tetapi hanya Raja Rimba yang dibenarkan
mendengarnya," jelas Mousedeer. "Hei, siapa Singa sangka dia ini," jerit Tiger
dengan marah. "Jika saya mahu memukul dram, saya akan memukul dram."

“I can't fight you Tiger. You can hit the drum but let me run far away so
that Lion won't blame me,” Mousedeer cried.
Tiger started to hit the “drum” which was actually a wasp nest. The angry
wasps flew out of their nest and started to attack Tiger. Tiger on being
stung ran away as fast as he could with the swarm of wasps after him.
Tiger then jumped into a river to escape from the wasps.
“Saya tak boleh lawan awak Tiger. Awak boleh pukul dram tapi biar saya lari jauh-
jauh supaya Singa tak salahkan saya,” Mousedeer berkata dengan kuatnya.
Harimau mula memukul "gendang" yang sebenarnya merupakan sarang tebuan.
Tebuan yang marah terbang keluar dari sarangnya dan mula menyerang Harimau.
Harimau kerana disengat melarikan diri sepantas mungkin dengan segerombolan
tebuan mengejarnya. Harimau kemudian melompat ke dalam sungai untuk
melarikan diri dari tebuan.

Mousedeer knew that Tiger would be very angry after coming out of the river.
He decided to get help from the snake Python.
“What’s wrong my friend? Python asked Mousedeer.
“Tiger is trying to eat me,” Mousedeer told Python. “I've been tricking him so
that I could escape but he keeps coming back,”
Python then declared, “Let us together trick Tiger.”
Kancil tahu bahawa Harimau akan sangat marah selepas keluar dari sungai.
Dia memutuskan untuk mendapatkan bantuan daripada ular Python.“Apa
masalah kawan saya?” Python bertanya Mousedeer.
"Harimau cuba memakan saya," Mousedeer memberitahu Python. "Saya telah
menipu dia supaya saya dapat melarikan diri tetapi dia terus kembali. “
Python kemudian mengisytiharkan, "Mari kita bersama-sama menipu
Harimau."

8
As Mousedeer and Python settled on their plan, they could hear Tiger
coming. Python coiled himself up on a rock like a cone and remained still.
Tiger then came upon Mousedeer again. Tiger growled, “Mousedeer, we
meet again and this time I am going to eat you!”
Mousedeer pointing at the coiled-up python screamed loudly, “Tiger, you
can't eat me. I have to guard Lion’s crown. He will get very angry if you
eat me.”
Ketika Mousedeer dan Python menyelesaikan rancangan mereka, mereka dapat
mendengar Harimau datang. Ular sawa menggulung dirinya di atas batu seperti kon
dan diam. Harimau kemudian menemui Kancil sekali lagi. Harimau menggeram,
"Kancil, kita berjumpa lagi dan kali ini saya akan makan kamu!“ Kancil menunjuk
ke arah ular sawa yang bergelung itu dan menjerit kuat, “Harimau, kamu tidak
boleh makan saya. Saya perlu menjaga mahkota Singa. Dia akan marah sangat
kalau awak makan saya.”

Python looked so magnificent that Tiger believed Mousedeer yet again.
“Lion’s crown, ha, ha,” Tiger shouted out. “I will wear the crown because I
am the King of The Jungle. Then I will eat you Mousedeer!”
Tiger then snatched Python and put it on his head like a crown. “I am
going to eat you Mousedeer!” Tiger told Mousedeer again.
Ular sawa kelihatan sangat hebat sehinggakan Harimau mempercayai
Mousedeer sekali lagi. "Mahkota singa, ha, ha," jerit Harimau. “Saya akan
memakai mahkota kerana saya Raja Rimba. Kemudian saya akan makan
kamu Kancil!” Harimau kemudiannya merampas Python dan
meletakkannya di atas kepalanya seperti mahkota. “Saya akan makan
awak Kancil!” Tiger memberitahu Mousedeer lagi.

10
At this moment, Python stretched out and coiled its body round Tiger and
began to tighten its grip. Python told Tiger, “Sorry Tiger but you are not
going to have my little friend Mousedeer for lunch.”
Tiger could feel himself being crushed by Python . He said, “You tricked
me again Mousedeer.
Pada ketika ini, Python menghulurkan dan melingkarkan badannya di
sekeliling Harimau dan mula mengeratkan cengkamannya. Python
memberitahu Tiger, "Maaf Harimau tetapi anda tidak akan membawa
kawan kecil saya Mousedeer untuk makan tengah hari.”
Harimau dapat merasakan dirinya dihimpit oleh Python. Dia berkata,
“Kamu menipu saya lagi Kancil.

11
You're too clever for me. Mousedeer, please ask your friend Python to
release me. I promise I won’t eat you.” Mousedeer then asked Python to
release Tiger. Upon being freed, Tiger went away leaving Mousedeer in
peace.
“Thank you, Python,” Mousedeer told Python.
“You are welcome my little friend,” Python replied.
Awak terlalu bijak untuk saya. Kancil, tolong minta kawan Python untuk
melepaskan saya. Saya janji saya takkan makan awak." Kancil kemudian
meminta Python untuk melepaskan Harimau. Setelah dibebaskan,
Harimau pergi meninggalkan Kancil dalam keadaan aman.
"Terima kasih, Python," Mousedeer memberitahu Python.
"Anda dialu-alukan, kawan kecil saya," jawab Python.
