Membaca...
Long time ago in far far away land there was a big male
mouse. He was very strong and
fierce. He could beat his enemies with his teeth and claw. He was so big for a mouse that cats did not
want to eat him. Although there were
many cats in his neighborhood, he was safe.
They even got along well.
As days passed by the big mouse grew stronger and
stronger. When he was as big as a grown
up male cat he was the strongest mouse in his area. So he wanted to become a king. His intention was inspired by human
being. As he lived in a ditch in front
of a luxurious house, he often saw a rich man who lived there. He never saw the man working. Many people worked for him instead. Then he told the cats about his
intention. First they laughed at him.
‘You want to be a king?
Come on!’
“Yes, please allow me to become the king of mouse here’
The most influential cat said :
‘I am the number one cat here but still I am not a king’
But suddenly he got a brilliant idea.
‘Oh, OK then. If
you really want to become the mouse king I and the whole cat community will
fully support you. Anybody stands in
your way will become our enemy. If you
need help, just call us. We will come immediately and ready to help
twenty for hours a day. But there is a
condition’
‘What’s that?’
‘You must give us ten mice per day for the rest of your
life’
‘Oh, that’s not fair.
You do nothing and you ask for ten mice per day?’
‘You said we do nothing?
We support you. I know there is a
strong mouse over there ready to eliminate you.
In one year he will be stronger than you. He will be more than ready to be a king. I believe he will be ready to give us fifteen
mice per day. So the choice is yours’
OK, I agree. But
please help me to eliminate him’
‘You are very wise.
Of course we will eliminate him. There is no problem for us. From now on you are the king of all mouse in
this area. Your words will become law’
‘Thank you very much for your support. I invite you to my inauguration tomorrow’.
‘I have a better idea’ Said number one cat.
‘You’d better cancel your inauguration. Tell your humble citizen that your king is
human being. Tell them that you will
represent the king. You rule on behalf
of the king. That way you will be more
powerful’
‘Thanks for your brilliant idea’
The next day the big mouse called all mouse in the
neighborhood. In front of them he made a
declaration.
‘From now on our area become a kingdom of mice. The ruler is His Majesty King Prabu. But since he is very busy, he cannot take
care of the day to day operation of our community. Therefore he appointed me as your chief. I will work for you. I will serve you. So please obey all my command. Dissidents will punished. And here is my first order. All of you must work hard to provide
offerings for our king. The offering
must be put in front of his palace, here in front of my house. And everyday the king needs ten mice to work
for him’
Since then on they gave offerings of food, fruits, and
vegetables to their king. They brought
them to big mouse’s house in the ditch.
And the big mouse gave ten mice daily to king’s palace. The big mouse was very happy because he did
not have to work anymore. The cats were
very happy because they did not have to hunt.
But then something went wrong. The big mouse was taking ten mice to the
palace when it happened. One of them was
a strong male mouse. As they arrived in
the palace, he was shocked when he saw cats had been waiting for them. He was told that they would work for the
king. He realized that he would be a
victim. Then he ran as fast as he
could. The cats chased him. Luckily he could hide in a ditch. After that he told the mouse community.
‘Hey, the big mouse is a liar! He betrayed us. He sacrificed us to the cats. I saw our friends were eaten by cats. I am sure he eats our offerings too’
His words traveled fast.
All members of the mouse community knew this secret. soon they were very angry. The crowd of mice then came to the big
mouse’s house.
‘Hey big mouse, why do you sacrificed our friends to the
cats?
‘It was a mistake.
The cats attacked us when we were there’.
‘Liar ! You must
be punished ! We will tell the king
about this’.
‘I am your king !
I am the real king. Obey my
command!’
‘Liar! Bring him to the king!’
The angry crowd got out of control. Then they attacked the big mouse. The big mouse was a strong and brave mouse so
he fought back. He could kill two or
three of them. But he was
outnumbered. When he was exhausted he
could not fight anymore. Finally the
crowd of mice killed him. The big mouse
died a tragic death. His body was bitten
to pieces. Mice remembered him as a liar
and an oppressor who betrayed his own community.
