A Buffalo and a Monkey
It was a very hot day. A monkey was walking by the riverside. He was very thirsty and hungry. He took some water and drank it. He was very happy. Then, he saw some banana trees. But they were across the river. The monkey could not swim so he was thinking very hard. Suddenly, "Aha!" said the monkey. He had an idea. Not far from him, a buffalo was drinking some water in the river. He came closer to the buffalo and told him his plan. "Hello, Mr Buffalo. Are you hungry?" "Yes, I am. I really want to eat some grass," said the buffalo. "I know a place where you can eat a lot of grass. It is across the river." "I know that place.
It's a field. A farmer owns it. He will be angry if I eat the grass on his field," said the buffalo. "You are right. He is angry if he sees you eating the grass. If he does not see you, he won't be angry, right?" the monkey kept on persuading the buffalo. "Come on! Let's go now. We just have to be quiet and do not make noise," said the monkey. Actually, he wanted to trick the buffalo. He wanted to sit on the buffalo's back while they were crossing the river. "Ok then. But promise you won't be noisy," said the buffalo. The monkey immediately jumped to the buffalo's back. The buffalo's body was big. He did not have problem in crossing the river. After a while, they arrived at the farmer's field. Both of them immediately ate. "Mr Buffalo, I'm already full. Let's go back," said the monkey. "But I'm not full yet. Wait for a moment." The monkey was impatient. He was thinking how he could ask the buffalo to go back across the river. Then he had an idea. He made a lot of noise. It was very loud! The farmer heard the noise and he approached them.
When he saw two animals were eating on his field, the farmer threw some stones. One big stone hit the buffalo's head. The buffalo's cried in pain. He immediately ran to the river. The monkey followed him and jumped on the buffalo's back. "Why did you make a lot of noise? You promised to keep quiet!" said the buffalo while they were crossing the river. "Now, I want to take a bath here. I want to clean up my wound." "But I cannot swim. If you take a bath here, I will be drawn," the monkey was panic."I don't care. You made me bleeding." The buffalo then rolled over his body. The monkey had to hold very tight. He was very scared. After the buffalo finished taking bath, then he crossed back to the riverside. The monkey was very wet. He was very weak and frightened. He apologized to the buffalo. And he promised not to do it again.

Seekor Kerbau dan Monyet
Itu adalah hari yang sangat panas. Seekor monyet sedang berjalan di tepi sungai. Dia sangat haus dan lapar. Dia mengambil air dan meminumnya. Dia sangat senang. Kemudian, dia melihat beberapa pohon pisang. Tapi mereka berada di seberang sungai. Monyet itu tidak bisa berenang sehingga dia berpikir keras. Tiba-tiba, "Aha!" kata monyet. Dia punya ide. Tidak jauh darinya, seekor kerbau sedang minum air di sungai. Dia mendekati kerbau dan menceritakan rencananya. "Halo, Tuan Kerbau. Apakah Anda lapar?" "Ya, saya benar-benar ingin makan rumput," kata kerbau. "Aku tahu tempat di mana kamu bisa makan banyak rumput. Itu di seberang sungai." "Aku tahu tempat itu.
Ini adalah lapangan. Seorang petani memilikinya. Dia akan marah jika saya memakan rumput di ladangnya," kata kerbau. "Kamu benar. Dia marah jika melihatmu memakan rumput. Jika dia tidak melihatmu, dia tidak akan marah, kan?" monyet terus membujuk kerbau. "Ayo! Ayo pergi sekarang. Kita hanya perlu diam dan tidak membuat keributan, "kata monyet. Sebenarnya, dia ingin menipu kerbau. Dia ingin duduk di punggung kerbau saat mereka menyeberangi sungai. "Baiklah kalau begitu. Tapi janji jangan ribut," kata kerbau. Monyet langsung melompat ke punggung kerbau. Badan kerbau besar. Dia tidak kesulitan menyeberangi sungai. Tak lama kemudian, mereka sampai di ladang petani. Keduanya langsung makan.” Pak Kerbau, saya sudah kenyang. Ayo kembali," kata monyet. "Tapi aku belum kenyang. Tunggu sebentar." Monyet itu tidak sabar. Dia berpikir bagaimana dia bisa meminta kerbau untuk kembali menyeberangi sungai. Lalu dia punya ide. Dia membuat banyak suara. Itu sangat keras! Petani itu mendengar suara itu. dan dia mendekati mereka.
Ketika dia melihat dua hewan sedang makan di ladangnya, petani itu melemparkan beberapa batu. Satu batu besar menghantam kepala kerbau. Kerbau itu menangis kesakitan. Dia segera berlari ke sungai. Monyet itu mengikutinya dan melompat ke punggung kerbau. "Mengapa kamu membuat banyak suara? Kamu berjanji untuk tetap diam!" kata kerbau saat mereka sedang menyeberangi sungai. "Sekarang, aku ingin mandi di sini. Aku ingin membersihkan lukaku." "Tapi aku tidak bisa berenang. Jika kamu mandi di sini, aku akan ditarik," monyet itu panik. "Aku tidak peduli. Kamu membuatku berdarah." Kerbau itu kemudian berguling-guling di atas tubuhnya. Monyet itu harus memegang sangat erat. Dia sangat takut. Setelah kerbau selesai mandi, barulah ia menyeberang kembali ke tepi sungai. Monyet itu sangat basah. Dia sangat lemah dan ketakutan. Dia meminta maaf kepada kerbau. Dan dia berjanji tidak akan mengulanginya lagi.
