Contoh Story Telling Bahasa Inggris “The Mouse Deer and the Snail”
The Mouse Deer and the Snail
Once, in a tropical forest lived a big-headed mouse deer that was over proud of himself. When he was walking around and puffing out his chest, a little snail greeted him, “Hi, my dear friend mouse deer! How are you today? It seems you look so happy today.” “Oh, hi little snail, of course, I am happy. Isn’t it an obvious thing that I am the smartest and the fastest animal in this forest, is it?” the mouse deer replied.
“How boastful you are,” the snail said. “I am not boasting. A tiny and slow animal like you will never understand me, a smart and agile animal,” said the mouse deer proudly.
The snail started to feel annoyed with the mouse deer’s vanity, “Well, I do not think that you are the smartest and fastest animal in this forest. I challenge you to have a race against me from one side to another side of this forest tomorrow morning. We will see, who is the smartest and fastest between us?” said the snail challenged him.
“Hahaha,” the mouse deer laughed. “Are serious? Do you think you can beat me on a race?” said the deer underestimated him. “However, I will accept your challenge and prove that you have made a wrong decision for challenging me,” answered the deer as he left him.
The next morning, all the animals in the forest gathered to see their race. The mouse deer and snail were ready and set on their position. “Don’t worry little snail, I will go easy on you. You can go first,” said the mouse deer teased him. “Okay, just don’t regret if you lose,” the snail replied. Then the snail went first.
After a few minutes had passed, the mouse deer decided to go. Since he thought that he would surely win the race, he ran slowly. After a few steps, he tried to call the snail to know his position. “Snail, where are you?” called the mouse deer loudly. The snail yelled, “Here, I have been far ahead of you.”
The mouse deer was surprised to know it. The snail really had run quite far and left him behind. Then the deer run faster and tried to call the snail again, “Snail, where are you?” The snail replied, “Here, I am far ahead of you.”
This time, the mouse deer ran with his full speed tried to catch the snail up. After a few minutes, he once again called the snail, “Snail, where are you?” The mouse deer still got the same answer. Afraid of losing the race, he ran as fast as he could. His legs felt so tired but he kept running. Finally, he saw the finish line only a few feet ahead. He was so happy. He tried to catch his breath and said, “Hahaha, you lose snail, I am the winner.”
“I don’t think so. I have arrived here earlier,” said the snail while sitting on a rock ahead of the finish line. Suddenly, the mouse deer stopped and looked completely stunned. His legs trembled and slowly approached the snail. “See, you are not the only smartest and fastest animal here, so do not be so arrogant.” He bowed his head and admitted his loss, “I am really sorry and I will respect all of the other animals from now on.”
The mouse deer did not realize that he had been deceived by a tiny, slow creature. Actually, one day before the race, the snail gathered all of his friends and asked them for help. They were asked by him to line up and hiding under a rock, log, or in a bush along the path of the race to answer the mouse deer’s call.
Arti Terjemahan Story Telling Bahasa Inggris “Si Kancil dan Siput”
Si Kancil dan Siput
Suatu ketika di sebuah hutan tropis hiduplah seekor rusa sombong yang terlalu bangga terhadap dirinya sendiri. Saat dia sedang berjalan-jalan sambil membusungkan dadanya, seekor siput menyapa, “Hai, kawanku kancil! Bagaimana kabarmu hari ini? Kelihatannya kamu senang sekali hari ini.” “Oh, hai siput kecil, tentu saja aku senang. Bukankah sudah jelas kalau aku binatang yang terpandai dan tercepat di hutan ini, iya kan?” jawab kancil.
“Sombong sekali kamu,” kata siput. “Aku tak membual. Seekor siput kecil dan lamban sepertimu tak akan pernah mengerti aku, seekor binatang cerdas yang lincah,” kata kancil dengan bangganya.
Siput mulai risih dengan kesombongan si kancil, “Ya, menurutku kamu bukan binatang yang terpandai dan tercepat di hutan ini. Aku tantang kamu untuk berlomba melawanku dari satu sisi hutan ke sisi yang lainnya esok pagi. Kita akan lihat, siapa binatang yang terpandai dan tercepat di antara kita?”
“Hahaha,” si kancil tertawa. “Kamu serius? Apa kamu pikir kamu bisa mengalahkanku dalam perlombaan tersebut?” kata kancil meremehkannya. “Meski begitu, aku akan menerima tantanganmu dan membuktikan kalau kamu telah membuat keputusan yang salah dengan menantangku,” jawab kancil sembari meninggalkannya.
Pagi berikutnya, semua binatang di hutan berkumpul untuk menyaksikan perlombaan mereka. Si kancil dan siput siap dan berada pada posisinya. “Jangan khawatir siput kecil, aku akan bermain mudah denganmu. Kamu bisa pergi duluan,” kata kancil mengejeknya. “Baiklah, hanya saja jangan menyesal kalau kamu kalah,” jawab siput. Lalu siput pergi duluan.
Setelah beberapa menit berlalu, kancil memutuskan untuk mulai. Karena dia pikir dia pasti akan memang dalam perlombaan, dia lari dengan perlahan. Setelah beberapa langkah, dia coba memanggil siput untuk tahu posisinya. “Siput, di mana kamu?” panggil kancil keras. Siput berteriak, “Di sini, aku sudah jauh di depan.”
Kancil terkejut mengetahuinya. Siput benar-benar telah lari lumayan jauh dan meninggalkannya di belakang. Kancil lalu berlari lebih kencang dan coba memanggil siput kembali, “Siput, di mana kamu?” Siput menjawab, “Di sini, aku jauh di depanmu.”
Kali ini, kancil lari dengan kecepatan penuhnya coba untuk menyusul siput. Setelah beberapa menit, dia kembali memanggil siput, “Siput, di mana kamu?” kancil masih mendapatkan jawaban yang sama. Takut kalah dalam perlombaan, dia berlari sekencang mungkin yang dia bisa. Kakinya begitu lelah tapi ia terus berlari. Akhirnya, dia melihat garis finis hanya beberapa kaki saja di depan. Dia sangat senang. Dia coba mengambil nafas dan berkata, “Hahaha, aku mengalahkanmu siput, aku yang menang.”
“Aku rasa tidak. Aku tiba lebih awal di sini,” kata siput sambil duduk di sebuah batu di depan garis finis. Tiba-tiba, kancil berhenti dan terlihat begitu terkejut. Kakinya gemetaran dan perlahan menghampiri si siput. “Lihat kan, kamu buka satu-satunya binatang terpandai dan tercepat di sini, jadi jangan terlalu sombong.” Dia menunduk dan mengakui kekalahannya, “Aku benar-benar minta maaf dan mulai sekarang aku akan menghormati binatang yang lain.”
Si kancil tak menyadari kalau dirinya telah diperdaya oleh seekor makhluk kecil yang lamban. Sebenarnya, sehari sebelum perlombaan, kancil mengumpulkan semua temannya dan meminta bantuan mereka. Mereka diminta untuk berbaris dan bersembunyi di bawah batu, kayu, ataupun di dalam semak-semak sepanjang rute perlombaan untuk menjawab panggilan si kancil.
