Jangan Terlena, Waktumu Jadi Bumerang

Tahukah sobat semua, apa itu senjata bumerang? Yap, senjata khas suku pedalaman di Australia (Aborigin) ini terkenal dengan ciri khususnya yaitu kembali pada sang pemilik. Jika pada zaman dahulu, suku aborigin menggunakannya untuk berburu binatang, saat ini senjata bumerang banyak digunakan didalam cabang olahraga (dilombakan) maupun sekedar keahlian (hiburan). Bahan baku yang dipakai umumnya adalah kayu, ringan, dan senjata ini terbang dengan memutar (spin) kemudian kembali pada sang pemilik. Nah hubungannya dengan waktu, menurut penulis ada beberapa kemiripan. Pertama, waktu yang dimiliki manusia sehari 24 jam, waktu terus bergulir dan meninggalkan pemiliknya namun dampak dari waktu akan kembali pada sang pemilik, yaps benar, waktu berpeluang membuahkan karya (prestasi) maupun amal. Dengan amalan ini tentunya manusia mendapatkan keuntungan. Bumerang yang digunakan oleh pemilik yang ahli/skillful dapat mendatangkan keuntungan antara lain memperoleh hewan buruan. Namun jika sang pemilik terlena dan kurang hati-hati, bahkan jika pandir (bodoh) dalam menggunakannya maka itu kembali dengan membawa bencana yakni bisa mecelakai sang pemiliknya. Hal yang sama berlaku dengan waktu, 24 jam sehari jika dioptimalkan dengan kebaikan maka membawa keberuntungan, di dunia berupa prestasi dan karya, di akhirat berupa amal kebajikan. Sebaliknya menyia-nyiakan waktu dampak negatifnya kembali kepada sang pemilik. Hidup tiada prestasi, hampa dan hambar, lebih-lebih jika hanya terisi dengan aktivitas keburukan dan kemaksiatan. Maka menjadi pembawa malapetaka kelak di akhir hidupnya hingga di alam akhirat.
Waktu itu sendiri adalah bentuk potensi manusia, potensi yang dapat digali maupun hanya terpendam tertimbun tidak dimanfaatkan sebaik mungkin, dibiarkan berlalu begitu saja tanpa ada hal yang istimewa. Dan Al Quran sudah memberikan pedoman (panduan) pada umat Islam dalam QS Al Ashr 1-3 yang artinya:
"Demi masa. Sesungguhnya manusia itu benar-benar dalam kerugian. Kecuali orang-orang yang beriman dan mengerjakan amal shaleh, dan naseh-menasehati supaya menaati kebenaran, dan nasehat-menasehati supaya menetapi kesabaran."
Coba dipikir dan direnungkan deh, seharian online, fb enggak ketinggalan, wa selalu terpantau, bbm aktif, internet selalu terkoneksi, namun ternyata itu semua enggak ngaruh pada amalan kebaikan malahan justru kebanyakan remaja asyik kepada hal yang sia-sia. Wifi (internet) yang sejatinya berpotensi untuk menambah pengetahuan dan mengarahkan pada kebaikan justru memabukkan dan membuat terlena akan realita tugas dan tanggungjawab.
Setiap zaman selalu terdapat pengganggu khusus, artinya beda generasi, tantangan dan hambatanpun berbeda. Sehingga harus kreatif dan bijak menghadapi serta menggunakan segala fasilitas kemajuan teknologi. Gadis yang masih sekolah di jenjang SMP mengalami kehamilan di luar nikah adalah sebuah cela (aib). Sedangkan budaya freesex meski gak hamil itu induknya aib. Awalnya dari terlalu banyak hal sia-sia yang menghiasi kehidupan keseharian mereka, lambat laun kebosanan menghinggapinya dan galau itu didorong bisikan nafsu syetan maka terjerumus kepada kemaksiatan.
Analogi bumerang dengan waktu yang mirip untuk hal kedua adalah terkait kompetensi si pemilik (kecakapan). Tidak semua remaja terpengaruh  dengan dampak negatif internet dan teknologi, masih banyak remaja muslim cerdas, sholeh penuh prestasi. Inilah pribadi yang kompetensinya (kecakapan/ muwashofatnya) standar dan layak disebut generasi penerus bangsa. Untuk menjadi ideal perlu tahapan dan latihan, hal ini persis agar mahir menggunakan bumerang perlu latihan yang berulang-ulang bahkan jika perlu setiap hari berinteraksi dengan alat tersebut. Maka sebuah keharusan bagi remaja yang sedang tumbuh kembang secara fisik, mental/ emosional, bahkan spiritual sering-sering berinteraksi dengan kebaikan agar efek pembiasaan baik itu menjadi watak sekaligus kepribadian.
Meninggalkan Hidup Yang Menipu (Melenakan)
Lalai dari tugas dan tanggungjawab adalah bentuk sikap pengecut dan imbasnya sangat merugikan. Seorang suami yang lalai akan kewajibannya mencari nafkah bagi keluarga (istri dan anaknya) adalah berdosa, seorang pelajar yang hura-hura kemudian cenderung hedonis sehingga lalai tugasnya belajar itu sangat merusak pribadi dan kemajuan bangsa, seorang pemimpin yang lalai memperhatikan hak-hak rakyatnya adalah penipu dan pengecut yang dzolim. Intinya sikap lalai itu membawa kepada keburukan. Dalam firman Allah swt QS Al Munafiqun ayat 9 disebutkan:
"Hai orang-orang yang beriman, janganlah harta-hartamu dan anak-anakmu melalaikan kamu dari mengingat Allah. Barangsiapa yang berbuat demikian, maka mereka itulah orang-orang yang rugi."
Dari ayat Al Quran tersebut jelas disebutkan harta bisa melalaikan kita dari mengingat Allah, anakpun demikian. Apalagi sudah tidak punya harta, tidak bertanggungjawab pada keluarga (istri & anak), mentaati Allah pun tidak, maka sungguh kemalangan yang besar.
Orang yang rajin bekerja sehingga penghasilan dan hartanya melimpah saja masih diingatkan agar tidak lalai terhadap Allah. Maka prioritas utama muslim adalah Allah, rasulNya, kedua orangtua, kemudian prioritas dari tiap individu masing-masing.
Lihatlah sekeliling kita tinggal, kehidupan yang sudah sibuk mengurusi dunia, melulu dunia, terkadang hampir-hampir lupa pada akhirat. Lupa bahwa ia adalah hamba (makhluk) yang diciptakan dengan misi, yap misi utama manusia adalah beribadah (menyembah), mengabdi pada Tuhan, Allah yang Esa.
Maka meninggalkan hal-hal yang tidak bermanfaat, tidak ada efek terhadap kebaikan dan perbaikan diri, dan tentunya meninggalkan hal-hal yang mubazir (sia-sia) adalah ciri seorang muslim yang berkualitas. Ini sesuai dengan isi dari hadits arbaain ke-12:
Dari Abu Hurairah ra dia berkata Rasulullah saw bersabda, merupakan tanda baiknya Islam seseorang, dia meninggalkan sesuatu yang tidak berguna baginya.
(HR Turmudzi)
Paling tidak muslim itu termotivasi untuk menyibukkan hari-harinya (24 jamnya) dengan perkara-perkara yang mulia (baik) serta menjauhkan perkara yang hina dan rendah (buruk). Jika belum bisa berarti predikat muslim yang baik belum layak disematkan pada kita. Inilah karakter pemuda muslim penerus bangsa yang benar-benar layak memimpin negeri ini, generasi bangsa yang berkilau, bersinar, berprestasi di tengah-tengah kemunduran moral dan bobroknya mental baik itu orang dewasa maupun di kalangan pemudanya. Maka menjadi generasi pilihan adalah tugas semua pemuda muslim. Tentunya karena pilihan, maka kita tidak menjadi orang kebanyakan yang suka menghambur-hamburkan waktu, tenaga, harta untuk perkara yang sia-sia dan remeh temeh. Yups, semangat be greatest moslem generation. Dedikasikan waktu 24 jam sehari hanya untuk Allah swt, maknanya adalah apapun aktivitas kita dalam 24 jam sehari tersebut niatkan ibadah pada Allah swt. Itulah sumber utama motivasi yang harus dijaga agar jangan sampai padam dalam dada & jiwa setiap muslim. Berikut lirik nasyid yang memberi inspirasi bahwa manusia hidupnya itu milik Tuhan, harus didedikasikan, abdikan, dicurahkan hanya pada Allah swt, judul nasyid 'Ku MilikMu'

Kuberdoa
Dengan jiwa dan tubuhku
Setiap hari sepanjang hidupku
Dengan napasku
Aku berjanji pada-Mu
Untuk hidup hanya untuk-Mu
O Allah!
Kau bangkitkan jiwaku
Cahaya-Mu terangi hatiku
Hidupku,
Kupersembahkan pada-Mu
Ku milik-Mu
Ku milik-Mu

Chorus:
Kini kutahu rasanya
Hidup dalam cahaya kasih-Mu
Kini kutahu rasanya
Menemukan damai di hati
Seandainya semua tahu
Indahnya mengabdi pada-Mu
Seandainya semua tahu
Kasih-Mu lepaskan belenggu
Bebaskanku, kuatkanku

O Allah!
Kubersyukur pada-Mu
Walau kata tak sanggup ungkapkan
Kau buatku,
Mampu lawan keraguan
Dan tegar hadapi tantangan
Hanya Engkau
Sanggup bangkitkan jiwaku
Cahaya-Mu terangi hatiku
Dan hidupku,
Kupersembahkan pada-Mu
Ku milik-Mu
Ku milik-Mu

CHORUS

Cinta, hidup, siang, malam, harta, doa semua
untuk-Mu (x2)
Dan tiada satu pun dapat bersaing dengan-Mu di hatiku
Cinta, hidup, siang, malam, harta, doa semua untuk-Mu

    Long time ago in the island of Java, Indonesia, lived a couple of farmer. They had married for some years but they had no children. So they prayed to a monster called Buta Ijo to give them children. Buta Ijo was a ferocious and powerful monster. He granted their wish on one condition. When their children had grown up, they had to sacrifice them to Buta Ijo. He liked eating fresh meat of human being. The farmers agreed to his condition. Several months later the wife was pregnant.
    She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They named her Timun Emas. The farmers were happy. Timun Emas was very healthy and a very smart girl. She was also very diligent. When she was a teenager Buta Ijo came to their house. Timun Emas was frightened so she ran away to hide. The farmers then told Buta Ijo that Timun Emas was still a child. They asked him to postpone. Buta Ijo agreed. He promised to come again. The following year Buta Ijo came again. But again and again their parents said that Timun Emas was still a child.

    When the third time Buta Ijo came their parents had prepared something for him. They gave Timun Emas several bamboo needles, seeds of cucumber, dressing and salt.
    ‘Timun, take these things’
    ‘What are these things?’
    ‘These are your weapons. Buta Ijo will chase you. He will eat you alive. So run as fast as you can. And if he will catch you spread this to the ground. Now go!’
    Timun Emas was scared so she ran as quickly as she could. When Buta Ijo arrived she was far from home. He was very angry when he realized that his prey had left. So he ran to chase her. He had a sharp nose so he knew what direction his prey ran.

    Timun Emas was just a girl while Buta Ijo was a monster so he could easily catch her up. When he was just several steps behind Timun Emas quickly spread the seeds of cucumber. In seconds they turned into many vines of cucumber. The exhausted Buta Ijo was very thirsty so he grabbed and ate them. When Buta Ijo was busy eating cucumber Timun Emas could run away.

    But soon Buta Ijo realized and started running again. When he was just several steps behind Timun Emas threw her bamboo needles. Soon they turned into dense bamboo trees. Buta Ijo found it hard to pass. It took him some time to break the dense bamboo forest. Meanwhile Timun Emas could run farther.

    Buta Ijo chased her again. When he almost catch her again and again Timun Emas threw her dressing. This time it turned into a lake. Buta Ijo was busy to save himself so Timun Emas ran way. But Buta Ijo could overcome it and continued chasing her.

    Finally when Timun Emas was almost caught she threw her salt. Soon the land where Buta Ijo stood turned into ocean. Buta Ijo was drowned and died instantly. Timun Emas was thankful to god and came back to her home.
    Once upon time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was no other parrot like it. The parrot could say every word, except one word. The parrot would not say the name of the place where it was born. The name of the place was Catano.
    The man felt excited having the smartest parrot but he could not understand why the parrot would not say Catano. The man tried to teach the bird to say Catano however the bird kept not saying the word.
    At the first, the man was very nice to the bird but then he got very angry. “You stupid bird!” pointed the man to the parrot. “Why can’t you say the word? Say Catano! Or I will kill you” the man said angrily. Although he tried hard to teach, the parrot would not say it. Then the man got so angry and shouted to the bird over and over; “Say Catano or I’ll kill you”. The bird kept not to say the word of Catano.

    One day, after he had been trying so many times to make the bird say Catano, the man really got very angry. He could not bear it. He picked the parrot and threw it into the chicken house. There were four old chickens for next dinner “You are as stupid as the chickens. Just stay with them” Said the man angrily. Then he continued to humble; “You know, I will cut the chicken for my meal. Next it will be your turn, I will eat you too, stupid parrot”. After that he left the chicken house.
    The next day, the man came back to the chicken house. He opened the door and was very surprised. He could not believe what he saw at the chicken house. There were three death chickens on the floor. At the moment, the parrot was standing proudly and screaming at the last old chicken; “Say Catano or I’ll hit you”.
    Notes on the kinds of Narrative Text
    It is important to know that the social function of the narrative text is to inform and entertain. Narrative text will tell the story with amusing way. It provides an esthetic literary experience to the reader. Narrative text is written based on life experience. In literary term, experience is what we do, feel, hear, read, even what we dream.
    Narrative text is organized focusing at character oriented. It is build using descriptive familiar language and dialogue. There are some genres of literary text which fit to be classified as the narrative text. Some of them are:
    Once upon a time, there was a man who was living in north Sumatra. He lived in a simple hut in a farming field. The did some gardening and fishing for his daily life.
    One day, while the man was do fishing, he caught a big golden fish in his trap. It was the biggest catch which he ever had in his life. Surprisingly, this fish turned into a beautiful princess. He felt in love with her and proposed her to be his wife. She said; “Yes, but you have to promise not to tell anyone about the secret that I was once a fish, otherwise there will be a huge disaster”. The man made the deal and they got married, lived happily and had a daughter.
    Few years later, this daughter would help bringing lunch to her father out in the fields. One day, his daughter was so hungry and she ate his father’s lunch. Unfortunately, he found out and got furious, and shouted; “You damned daughter of a fish”. The daughter ran home and asked her mother. The mother started crying, felt sad that her husband had broke his promise.
    Then she told her daughter to run up the hills because a huge disaster was about to come. When her daughter left, she prayed. Soon there was a big earthquake followed by non-stop pouring rain. The whole area got flooded and became Toba Lake. She turned into a fish again and the man became the island of Samosir.
    Note on Generic Structure of the Legend of Toba Lake
    Although narrative texts are written in several kinds such as legend, myth, folk tail, love story and other stories, basically they have the same thing in common. That is about how the different forms of narrative are arranged into the whole of story.
    They way the writer or story-teller arranged his paragraphs into interesting and meaningful story is what we call generic structure. So this elements are very important which determine whether it is a narrative or not. Just to make it clear, let’s see the generic structure of the above story in the legend of Toba Lake.

    Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with her step mother and two step sisters.
    The step mother and sisters were conceited and bad tempered. They treated Cinderella very badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do the hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing the floor, cleaning the pot and pan and preparing the food for the family. The two step sisters, on the other hand, did not work about the house. Their mother gave them many handsome dresses to wear.
    One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that the king’s son was going to give at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so much time choosing the dresses they would wear. At last, the day of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help crying after they had left.
    “Why are crying, Cinderella?” a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy godmother standing beside her, “because I want so much to go to the ball” said Cinderella. “Well” said the godmother,”you’ve been such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you do go to the ball”.

Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it was too small for them, no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the king’s page let Cinderella try on the slipper. She stuck out her foot and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.
    Finally, she was driven to the palace. The king’s son was overjoyed to see her again. They were married and live happily ever after.

  4. Once upon a time, there were two animals, Sura and Baya. Sura was the name of a shark and Baya was a crocodile. They dwelled in an ocean.

    Once Sura and Baya were looking for some nourishment. Abruptly, Baya saw a goat.

    “Yummy, this is my lunch,” said Baya.

    “No way! This is my midday meal. You are greedy” said Sura. Then they battled for the goat. After several hours, they were very exhausted.

    Feeling exhausted of battling, they lived in the different places. Sura dwelled in the water and Baya dwelled in the land. The border was the sandy shore, so they would never battle afresh.

    One day, Sura went to the land and looked for some nourishment in the stream. He was very famished and there was not much nourishment in the sea. Baya was very furious when he knew that Sura broke the pledge.

    They fought afresh. They both hit each other. Sura bit Baya's tail. Baya did the same thing to Sura. He bit very hard until Sura eventually provided up and A went back to the sea. Baya was happy.

Then, the snake in revenge stung several of the farmer's cattle. It caused him great loss. However, the farmer decided to stop the fight with the snake. He brought food and honey to the mouth of its lair, and said to it, "Let's forget and forgive. Perhaps you were right to punish my son, and take revenge on my cattle, but surely I was right in trying to revenge him. Now that we are both satisfied, why should not we be friends again?"

  8. 17 Discussion text about handphone
    Lately we are faced with the school regulation that prohibits students to bring a hand phone in the school. This regulation is caused by the rise of misusing a hand phone which facilitates communication, but with a massive development in technology, hand phone turns to be a smartphone. The prohibition of bringing smartphone to school creates different opinion between the school and parents. So, what is their point of view about the rules?
    Student’s abusing smartphone is a major cause of banning to bring smartphone in the school. Of course we still remember the spread of immoral video of junior high children recorded in the classroom and watched by their friends. this frightens the school. Youth is a great imitating period. But they still cannot differentiate which is good or bad for them. So students abuse the convenience provided by smartphone. that is one example of the negative effects caused by smartphone.

    Advertisement


    However, not a few people who disagree to the regulation. Some parents think that the ban of bringing hand phone in the school is not appropriate. They argue that it makes their children difficult to contact them or their family if there are other activities outside. Moreover, if there is something unwanted happens, such as accidents or kidnapping, the hand phone is very necessary. In addition, parents are also easier to control their childrem when they bring hand phone.

    Regardless of the pros and cons of the rule, of course both of them have their benefits. But it is basically back to the individual. Certainly the role of teachers and parents are very important in educating children’s moral and mental. So they do not abuse the hand phone. Both sides should sit down together and determine the proper regulation for their best.

  10. 54 MOBILE PHONES SHOULD NOT BE BANNED IN SCHOOL
    Mobile phones is not used just for calling, but sending text, taking pictures, accessing internet, and much more. Many students bring their phones to school. For them, mobile phone has many uses. So, mobile phones should not be banned in school. Why do I said that?
    Firstly, students call their parents for other needs. By mobile phone, student can call or their close relative if they need something to be brought to school. In addition, mobile phone can be used to call their children when one of their family were hit by disasters suddenly. And then, student can called their parent to pick her up when want to go home.
    Secondly, increased of knowledge among students. When trying to find answer of difficult task at school, mobile phone can be used as a connecting to search the answer through GPRS or Wi-Fi networks.
    Finally, expand the network of friendship among students. School is the right place to find friend. Average, student been at school about 7 hours or more. So that, a lot of students found their friend in the school environment . Therefore, communication between friends should be kept on of which using a mobile phone
    So, I think mobile phone should not be banned in school. But, use your phone in the time and right place so that no one was disturbed.
    Why is it called Hortatory Exposition Text?
    Because in the text contains the structure of Hortatory Exposition Text that is a thesis, arguments, and recommendation from the writer. And can be seen also that the text use Simple Pres"Should mobile phone be banned in the school"

    Starch you already know a wide range of benefits from hand phone. benefits of these benefits relate to our lives by using the phone, at least not be an obstacle for distance communication, but how if used in schools, whether beneficial?
    When viewed from the positive side, schools hand phone very useful addition to communicating hand phone also be used as a tool for calculating the dictionary, which could be possible for the current state of hand phone can also be used to access the Internet or other features of the phone who can help the educational process.
    But when viewed from the negative side, the school used hand phone inversely proportional to the function should be suppose that the teacher was teaching her students-an sms or chat and anything else that may interfere with students and teachers in the teaching and learning system.
    Thus, the use of mobile in school depends on how we use hand phone should be used in accordance with the rules and should not be used when the learning processifit's annoying, but if in fact it can help the process, yes, that's fine, as for example the use of aids for(a calculator) or another used that are helpfull rather than annoying.ent Tense.

    Nowadays, handphone becomes the one of the primary needs of many people. And I think almost everyone in this world have handphone. Since it found about twenty years ago, handphone is being “a must have and must bring” thing. Everywhere, and everytime.
    Handphone can make the distance become closer, world become narrow. Just with clicking the numbers button, we can speak to our friend in another place, even in other country. And then with the latest technology of 3G and 3.5G we can also see the face of the caller. That’s so nice!
    Then, when we feel lonely or boring, we can listen to the radio or music player. Moreover, we can also play many games or download many applications with the internet service. If you find some beautiful views, and you don’t want to lose those moments, you can save it by take some pictures with your mobile camera.

    KPK or in English Corruption Eradication Commission is important part in our fight again corruption. As an Indonesian people we must support KPK. In some last years KPK has done a lot of good work to eradicate corruption. So, we must protect KPK from anyone who try to weaken it.

    For instance, from 2001 to 2010, Indonesia’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI) score improved from 1.7 to 2.8.

    This incremental gain is considered one of the most progressive in Asia, thanks to Indonesia’s vibrant civil society, the active press and the hardworking Corruption Eradication Commission.

    The TI data shows that in 2001 only 3% of the 91 countries surveyed were worse than Indonesia, while in 2010 the percentile increased to 40% out of 178 countries.

    The fact above show us that KPK has done great job. So, we must support KPK. If we know any information about corruption, we must report it to KPK. We also must give our support to some KPK members that are being criminalized. We must watch the judicial process, to keep it fair and according the law.

    National Exam or UN is a big issue in Indonesia. It is supposed to measure the ability of the students, but it is now a nightmare, not just for the students, but also for the parents and teachers. In fact UN has give to much pressure to the students. It must be changed.

    Nowadays, social media is part of our lives. Social media is an online media which the users can share, comments and do many more in many things. Social media has many advantages when we used it properly. However, social media sometimes has bad impact for ourselves such as; spend too much time on social media, apathetic and endangerous ourselves.

    First, many people are addicted to using social media. They access social media anytime and anywhere. Usually, they do not control how much time they spend on social media. Unexpectedly, it cuts their precious time. Leisure time which normally can be used to discuss with family or friend would be lost because we are too busy with social media.


    Second, social media bring someone far become closer, but social media also make someone closer become far. They prefer to interact with someone far through social media rather than friends who are stand next to them. We often see, when those people hang out together, they are more busy to hold up their gadget.


    Third, crime can be started from social media. When you check-in Path, you indirectly provided guidence to anyone who wants to kidnap you. When mothers upload photos of their children, they have given intake for child predator out there. We have heard the news of celebrities who reported a social media accounts to the police because use their children photos for child trafficking. How terrible!

I believe that you should not share your personal life too much because it will be used for bad thing by a person with evil intention. Also, do not use social media to do bad act.

    Social media Web sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and many others have become nearly inescapable facets of modern life, particularly for teenagers. Social media is becoming more than just a part of their world, it’s becoming their world. Teens are spending more and more time online, usually on a social media platform like Facebook or Twitter. Most teens now have smart phones where they are on social media networks all throughout the day. They are constantly texting, tweeting, and posting pictures via Snapchat and Instagram. However, hyper-connected to social media could be bad for them.

    Today teens don’t know how to disconnect. Social media has allowed them to take their life online from the time they wake up till they back to sleep via their smart phone. One reason this “always connected” activity is harmful is because of the alarming trend of cyberbullying. Bullying has now moved from not only being in the school and on the bus, but online. What does this mean? If a teen is getting bullied, they cannot get away from it! The people bullying them simply continue their bullying via social media

    A new study has found that teenagers who engage with social media during the night could be damaging their sleep and increasing their risk of anxiety and depression. Teenagers spoke about the pressure they felt to make themselves available 24/7, and the resulting anxiety if they did not respond immediately to texts or posts. Teens are so emotionally invested in social media that a fifth of secondary school pupils will wake up at night and log on, just to make sure they don’t miss out.

    Another impact social media has had on teens is teens being more comfortable online doing things that they should be more sensitive to doing. A separate study by the National Citizen Service found that, rather than talking to their parents, girls seek comfort on social media when they are worried. The survey also suggests that girls are likely to experience stress more often than boys – an average of twice a week.

With this website, we can expand either of kinship or friendship with the wider community, not only in the scope of the neighborhood itself, but from different walks of life, environmental and social status. It becomes a necessity for young people to have it.

    Therefore, social networking sites have resulted in both positive and negative impacts. The positive impacts of social networks are we are able to have many friends, able to bring together the kinship that has not seen or has dropped out, able to share the information, able to find out a place to vent, able tobe a plave to deliver our hobby such as writing, to make promotion, and able to avoid stress.

    The negative impact of social networks for teens and children are the social networking sites they have. They will feel addicted and do not care about time, do not care about the surroundings, lack of socialization with the environment, waste of money and credit, prone to dispute or misunderstanding, often social media can be a place that the fraud can be occured, and social media can damage the health of the eye of children or people who use them.
    Social Network and Us


    Nowadays, social network has become a gate of the world where people can easily interact with other people, even across the world. So many sites that give us this feature like facebook which we know as the biggest social network media in the world, twitter, Skype, My Space, and many more. Most of modern people who know the social network possibly has an account from those media.
    Social network influences the human life. People can share anything here; express what they think with words, pictures, and videos. Or we can build our own image in public to reach popularity. Even, a person can be more popular in social network but in reality is so different. For some people, updating their status or commenting someone’s status or something like that is a need. That’s why social network has big roles in human life.
    Besides those benefits of social network, there must be negative impact. Social network can be a mask for criminals. In social network there are so many manipulation and falseness because not all people give the true information of themselves. And it can also decrease the confident when people only interact in an unreal world without communicate in real world. They can’t be themselves in reality.
    All the facts above prove that something always has good and bad side. Social network can be alternative way to express ourselves, but considering it as a need or even thinking we can’t live without it, is so wrong. We must not depend on social network to interact, open your eyes and be realistic.

    In Social Network

    Thesis : Sharing problems in social network really annoys to other people and embarass themselves who do it.


    Argue1: Firstly, people who share their problems in social network really annoys to other people. In Facebook and Twitter, there are many unstable teenagers who post their problems here. Here’s an example....

    “I’m so sad. Nobody cares with me. My parents never think about me. They just think about money, money, and money.”

    Social network is not about share the problem like this. As a user of social network, I feel like they are disturbing my vision with their status. I wanna see news from people updates, but when they use it for sharing their problems, it’s annoying.


    Argue2: Not only annoys to other people, sharing problems in social network embarass themselves. With posting like what I show before, people think that the person who posted it has a terrible life. And it shows us that the person isn’t polite enough. It just makes us think that the person is bad. And it embarrasses her/himself.


    Recommended: Finally, I strongly agree that people shouldn’t share their problem in social network. It’s better for them to write their feeling in a book which called diary or they just have to share it with their friends. Because if share their problems in social network, every people who is online will know the bad side of them.nternet Chatting and Social Networking everytime. That’s not good for our healthy.

  19. 310 Bullying

    Bullying is the use of violence, threat, or force to intimidate others. This behaviour can be a habit and involve an imbalance of social and physical power. This behaviour can include verbal abuse or threats, physical violence or force and can be directed repeatedly against a certain victim. It maybe based on race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability.

    It is a very serious problem and dangerous for our social environment. We have to stop every single act of bullying because it has many impacts that could be threatening each involved part of society, not only for the bullied children, but also the children who bully, children who watch a bullying, even for the school with the issue of bullying. Bullying can bring bad influence on children’s physical and mental health. In a heavy case, bullying can be the trigger of a fatal act, as suicide.

    There are several problems that might be suffered by children as the victim of bullying. First is a variety of mental problems like depression, anxiety and sleeping trouble; this problem may be carried away until the victim grows to be an adult. The act of bullying will be so difficult to forget by the victims. Second, there would be physical health complaints, as headache, abdominal pain and muscle strain. Third, there is insecurity right in the school environment. Fourth, there is the decline in the spirit of learning and academic achievement. Fifth, in the quite rare case, the victims of bullying will probably show the nature of violence.

    Not only to the victims, could the impacts of bullying also affect the doer of bullying. According to a research, when they are growing into an adult, the children who do the act of bullying have big tendency to behave roughly, do criminality, be engaged in vandalism, consume drugs and alcohol, and be engaged in free intercourse. In addition, sixty percent of boys who bully his friend in the primary school or junior high school have convicted at least once over a crime in the age of 24 years.

    By watching the act of bullying, children can also get the impacts. They may have a big tendency to feel insecure when they are at school, they may have mental problems such as depression, anxiety, and traumatic feeling. Moreover, they misuse alcohol and drugs due to the stress.

  20. 339 "Bullying: A Cancer That Must Be Eradicated"

    Thesis

    A tragic end to an education that had barely begun 13-year-old Kiki stopped schooling because her classmates used to make fun of her relentlessly. They had accidentally discovered her humble background, her father being a street vendor. In another case, 15 year old Dinda could not take it anymore. She became depressed, left school and stayed at home because she was constantly teased by her classmates for failing in junior high school.

    And in yet another, more recent case, some senior students of a junior high school took seven junior students, and subjected them to violent beatings. Sherry, one of the junior students, was rushed to hospital with bruises on his abdomen. He is extremely scared to go to school. Julie, a 10 year old, fifth grade student, states that her first two years of elementary school were a traumatic experience. She sadly remembers being cruelly bullied by her male classmates because she was overweight. They used to call her Sumatran elephant, baboon, gentong and many other names.

    Argument (1-6)

    These are few cases out of hundreds of similar cases and the number is increasing over the time. In Indonesia bullying exists in every form, from teasing to extreme abuse. Even though incidents of bullying are common, unfortunately it is not seen as a major problem. A recent survey conducted by National Child Protection Commission has shown that more than half of bullying incidents go unreported due to the fact that it is considered normal in some parts of the society. Also the people who get bullied are either unwilling to report it because they feel it will “make a big deal”. Or worse, they are so scared that they don't trust anyone and do not want to share their plight with anyone. The issue of bullying has been a problem for years but recently it got limelight from news media when few cases were reported.

    Bullying affects the children both psychologically and physically. It is estimated that hundreds of children miss school every day due to the fear of being mistreated by other students and in some extreme cases they choose to home school, or in severe circumstances they stop studying altogether.

    Children should not be living in constant fear. They shouldn't be afraid. On the contrary, they should look forward to every day of school and enjoy school life.
    According to a research bullying has always existed in Indonesian society, but it has come to surface due to the recent proliferation of media technologies (Craig, 2009). Since bullying is prevalent in our society it is important that everyone should be made aware of this social evil. There should be campaigns to increase awareness. Everyone should be working together, against it, to stop it. It is distressing to see our children being isolated from society because they are treated badly. I am of opinion that no one has any right to harass or make people feel inferior. No one should have that kind of power. These children are our future and we should make every possible effort to stop bullying.

    I would like to point out that bullying is everyone's problem and responsibility. If you condone bullying in any way, shape or form it means you are taking part in it whether it is directly or indirectly by being silent. Majority of people agree that we have to work together towards eliminating this problem.

    Some people may consider taunting someone as funny, even though it is anything but funny to the person who is at the receiving end. Minor taunts can
    create a lot of pain and suffering. While it may seem innocent but the cumulative effect could be highly damaging. In addition to that, as the pain increases, each instance cuts a little deeper which eventually becomes a sore.

    Cheating is one of the biggest problems in Indonesian high schools. It rewards people who did not work diligently, and it prevents studentscheating-ban from reaching their potential. Cheating must be stopped.

    Firstly, students and teachers who cheat are committing a crime. People who did not study and don’t know the information should not be rewarded with good grades. Cheating is also not fair to students who do work hard to learn information and try to succeed on their own.

    Secondly, cheating prevents students from reaching their potential by creating dependence. Knowing they can cheat decreases students’ self confidence to try on their own. If this awful habit continues, students will lose the opportunity to develop their knowledge and mind.

    Therefore, in my opinion, schools should consider cheating a very serious problem. Schools should work to stop cheating and trust that students can succeed. Another solution is for schools to apply harsh punishment to students and teachers who commit this crime. Cheating

    2) Teenager Self-Esteem

    Low self esteem is the biggest problem with teenagers today. This is a difficult time when kids are developing into adults. No self-selfesteemconfidence in this time prevents teenagers from reaching their potential and causes teenagers to participate in many unhealthy activities.

    Teenagers often are not confident in their abilities. They often worry about how they look – about their weight, their hair, if they have acne, or what clothes they wear. As a result, they sometimes think negative thoughts about themselves and feel embarrassed to try new things, speak in class, or give their opinions. They miss opportunities to grow and learn because they don’t want to be seen or don’t believe they can do it.

    Many teenagers also want to feel accepted. They worry about friends liking them because they haven’t learned to appreciate and like themselves. Teenagers can become dependent on friends who may not have good values.

    Teens often follow friends and start habits like cutting school, bullying, smoking, drinking, or pre-marital sex.

    To develop self-esteem, teenagers should stop thinking negative thoughts about themselves. Each day, teenagers should write three good things about themselves. They should try new things each week and not be afraid to make mistakes. Teens should find a way to express themselves – through sports, writing, art, or something they really enjoy. Teenagers should also choose friends who support them and make them feel good about themselves. Teens should not be afraid to say their opinion around real friends they can trust. Teens should also do something good for other people – like help a classmate study, help clean the environment, or be kind to a classmate who does not have many friends. These solutions will help teens develop confidence and make them realize they are special. Then, teens can reach their potential and avoid unhealthy activities.Self Esteem

  22. 400 SCHOOL BULLYING
    THESIS:
    Educatioon is a very important part of a child’s life, and yet an increasing number of
    children are showing reluctance to attend school. It is not that they find the work too
    difficult or are afraid of the teachers. Instead, it is because they are being bullied.
    ARGUMENT:
    School bullies can make other children’s lives a misery. The butt of this abuse may
    often simply be slightly different in some way fromthe rest of the class. A child may
    have red hair, wearspectacles, or be of a different race, for example. This can make
    them a target for the school bully.
    ARGUMENT:
    Bullying takes different forms. Bullies use verbal abuse as well as physical abuse on
    their victims. They mock or insult their victims with the most insulting name calling.
    Often they will use their physical size to intimidate those who are smaller and weaker
    than themselves. The bullies will threaten their victims with a beating to extort money,
    to take their possession or to tell them to do stupid things.
    ARGUMENT:
    Some psychologists say that the desire of the class bully to dominate the others is a
    result of an inferiority complex or some personal unhappiness, but this does not help
    those who are on the receiving end.
    RECCOMENDATION:
    So great is the bullying problem that many schools have been forced to draw up an
    official strategy for dealing with it. To prevent bullying, schools need to help the
    students to develop their potential and encourage them to love, respect and help each
    others. Bullying in schools is a worldwide problem that can have negative consequences for the general school climate and for the right of students to learn in a safe environment without fear. Bullying can also have negative lifelong consequences—both for students who bully and for their victims. Although much of the formal research on bullying has taken place in the Scandinavian countries, Great Britain, and Japan, the problems associated with bullying have been noted and discussed wherever formal schooling environments exist.There is a strong correlation appears to exist between bullying other students during the school years and experiencing legal or criminal troubles as adults. Chronic bullies seem to maintain their behaviors into adulthood, negatively influencing their ability to develop and maintain positive relationships.The act of being bullied tends to increase some students’ isolation because their peers do not want to lose status by associating with them or because they do not want to increase the risks of being bullied themselves. Being bullied leads to depression and low self-esteem, problems that can carry into adulthood.
    Some things can be do to prefent bullying. It includes the following components:
    1. Give information to helps both adults and students become aware of the extent of the problem.

First day, we visited Sanur Beach in the morning. We saw the beautiful sunrise together. It was a great scenery. Then, we checked in to the hotel. After prepared our selves, we went to Tanah Lot. We met so many other tourists there. They were not only domestic but also foreign tourists. Second day, we enjoyed the day on Tanjung Benoa beach. We played so many water sports such as banana boat, jetsky, speedboat etc. We also went to Penyu island to see many unique animals. They were turtles, snakes, and sea birds. We were very happy. In the afternoon, we went to Kuta Beach to see the amazing sunset and enjoyed the beautiful wave. The last day, we spent our time in Sangeh. We could enjoy the green and shady forest. There were so many monkies. They were so tame but sometimes they could be naughty. We could make a close interaction with them. After that, we went to Sukowati market for shopping. That was my lovely time. I bought some Bali T-Shirt and souvenirs. In the evening, we had to check out from the hotel. We went back home bringing so many amazing memories of Bali.

    On February 8th, 2016, I thought this would be a great holiday for me because that was Chinese New Year holiday. I didn’t celebrate the Chinese New Year as I’m not Chinese but I guessed that it was a good time for me to get full refreshing. I was so tired to studying. However, the unpredictable fact broke everything up.

    First like an ordinary daughter, I had to get up early morning to help my mother, of course after I prayed. Then I did the dishes, cleaned up my room, and did my bed. I was really in danger if my mom knew that my room was messy. So, I made it as soon as possible. After finishing everything, my aunts called me in the afternoon. I did not meet them for a long time so we kept for hours to talk about some up to date gossips. Not long after that, my neighbor who is also my schoolmate visited me. She asked my help to finish her homework. At last, the time was running and the homework was successfully finished. An unpredictable moment happened after that. To my surprised, I just remembered that I had a lot of homework too. I got confused and regretful why I did not check it. As the consequence, I did my homework until late night and it was hardly finished. Since then, I always check my home work before having a holiday.

    I did not feel this was holiday instead of I had to work hard and got a long ship with my homework.

    One day, my sister named Putri said to me that she really wanted to go to the beach. So I promised her that the next week we would go to Mutun beach in Lampung.

    The next week, we prepared everything needed in the morning. We brought some foods and beverages, such as chocolate wafers, potato chips, water and orange juice. Before going to the beach, I ask our brother, Bayu, to join us. He agreed to join and we went there together with our parents. We went there by car. It took 3 hours to arrive there. Then, we bought tickets in the entrance gate. Before swimming, we changed our clothes first. We swam there for more than one hour. We felt so tired that we decided to eat the foods that we had brought. Next, three of us created a very big sand castle, while my parents were enjoying the beautiful scenery there. After that, we decided to go home because it was getting dark.

    On the way home, we still felt hungry. So we stopped at a restaurant to have dinner. I ordered sruit, Lampungnese traditional food, while my brother, my sister, and my parents ordered fried rice. After finished eating, we paid our bills. Then, we went home. We arrived at home at 9 o’clock. We were tired but we were absolutely happy.

    Last year, at the end of the year, my wife and I decided to spend our holiday at Tanjung Setia beach, which located around 234 kilometers from Bandarlampung.

    When we arrived at the beach, we were surprised to see the beautiful view of the beach. After having a quick dip in the ocean, which was really cold and windy, we realized that there were not many people there. We thought that it happened because it was too windy there during that time but we finally realized that it was Christmas holiday so almost all of tourists who are used to spending time there went back to their country.

    After spending few times swimming in the beach, we bought some hot chips at the takeaway store nearby, and we rode our bikes down the beach for a while, on the hard, damp part of the sand. The next day we visited Labuan Jukung beach. There, we were amazed to see the high wave owned by this beach. Because it was so high that no body was brave enough to surf on it that time.

    The third day there, we decided to go home when we finally made it back home, we were both totally exhausted because of the trip but we were so happy to travel such an amazing beach Lampung province has.

    One day, I played basket ball with my friends in my school basketball hall. It was rainy season.
    It was cloudy at that time. Before we played basket ball, we had been given some instructions by our coach. After that I and my friends had to do warming-up. Our coach asked us to run around the basketball court. While we were running, the rain fell. The coach then asked us to stop running. Not long after that, the rain stopped. I and my friends started to play a game. The coach warned us to be careful, because the court was so slippery.
    The game started with jump ball. Jumping strongly, I got the ball so I ran and dribble the ball to the basket energetically. When I tried to throw the ball, I was slipped and “BRAKKK”. I fell down suddenly. Unluckily, I broke one of my legs. My friends then brought me to a hospital. I had to have bed rest for quite a long time. But everything grew so much better when I noticed that all of my friends in our basketball team always supported me and accompanied me to train my broken leg.
    It was my unforgettable experience when I was in senior high school. This experience taught me a very valuable message to do everything more carefully.

    January 11th, 2017. I'll never forget that day. It happened when I was thirteen years old.
    That morning I ate some goldfish and realized that my stomach was hurting a little bit. But it felt like the "your hungry" sort if stomach ache. Luckily it stopped when I was on the way to school.
    I arrived at the school as usual and everything was normal. That unforgettable experience happened in mid-day. I was wearing tights that day. I wore blue and white uniform that day. When i was studying Math, I noticed like a feel of something coming out. I didn't understand and thought I was just sweating down there, or something.
    I really felt uncomfortable, though I didn't want to get up just in case it bled through. Since that condition happened, I just stayed sitting on my chair. The bell rang and the time was over. I went out from the class after all of my classmates had gone out. Many friends asked what happened to me, but I kept silent.
    Having arrived at home, I asked my mom immediately about what happened to me. Surprisingly, my mom told me that I had got my first period that day. That experience was so unforgettable. I still remember exactly that I was kept silence with my panicked mimic when I was trying to understand what’s happening at that moment which made some friends wonder about my silence. By writing this story, I hope they read this story and find out the answer of their questions about me during that mid-day

    it was the beginning of my first school year and it meant that it was the time to buy all of new stuffs for the new semester. A shopping day like this meant a busy day for moms and their children in the school age. It also happened to us. We spent almost a day for that reason.
    Having bought all stuffs for the new semester in the shopping center, I went to my favorite part of the shopping center. It was the toy department. I didn't really need to buy anything there. I just took a look at some interesting toys. I ran to the toys as fast as I could, but my mom hardly kept me up. On the top shelf, I saw a beautiful doll which looked just like a real baby. There was probably twenty of them, looked almost the same, only this one was looking down on me with her beautiful clear blue eyes. My mom saw my begging face, but told me that we couldn't afford to buy it. It was simply expensive, she said. I took my mom's hand sadly, and walked behind her. I did not beg or scream so I could get what I wanted. I knew what it meant when you can't afford something. I understood, even I was still eight years old. As usual, I could only save the dolls like other interesting toys in my dream. But, it made me stronger and more spirit-full to pursue my future so that I could buy everything I wanted.
    I hardly could buy anything except for my school stuffs when I was a young girl. But it taught me a lot about patience and pursuing dream. Now, I can buy almost everything I need in life because I have finished my study and thanks God I am accepted in a reputable company. Thanks a lot my childhood.

    Although it had already been a year since the accident happened, I could still remember it as if it happened yesterday.
    On a cold winter night, I and my best friend Shareen were driving on a freeway that was covered in a thin plane of ice. To make matters worse I was drunk at that time. Shareen had warned me not to drink alcohol but as usual I ignored his warning. As I was driving, the beer started to take effect. I felt the dizziness effects until we were about halfway home.
    When I was halfway in a sharp right turn just about to exit the freeway, I saw a flash of light streak past my left eye. Not long after that, there was a loud explosion. The darkness seemed to recede as I slowly regained consciousness. Suddenly there was a roaring fire and I immediately put off my seat belt, wanting to get out as soon as possible. Somehow I got out the car and it was then that it hit me with a thrill of horror, Shareen was gone. In fact it took me nearly ten minutes to find him. He had been thrown nearly fifteen feet away from where the car was. As I stood by his side, I realized that his injuries were far worse than my own. I also knew and I knew that he knew as well that he wasn't going to make it. Even if medical help could arrive it was far too late, he would be dead before he reached the hospital.
    "Goodbye Nichole" and with those last words, he died. Since that day, I promise not to drink alcohol anymore. My bad habit had killed my best friend. To my surprised, all of his family forgave me. Shareen is my best friend who will always remind me when I do a mistake. Although he is dead, Shareen's memory will forever live on in my heart.

    In every human life, there is always at least an unforgettable childhood experience. This journey creates both good and bed stories. I, myself, have had a few bad ones at that time. They occurred mostly when I was trying to fit in and find my inner-self. One of those stories is when I hurt one of my friends. The story taught me a valuable lesson for my future then.
    Well, it was one of my unforgettable experiences happened to my life when I was a young boy. At that time, I and my friends used to hang out around the tree which was near the playing ground. One of my friends father had tied a rope there and made a swing like stuff for us. Once, we swing there one by one peacefully. One of my friends who was very naughty tried to trick me. He said to me that it was his turn then. Of course I denied his statement because I remembered the turn very well. Not accepting my argument, he hit me and I fell down. I stood up and kept asking for my turn. Again, he hit me and I fell down. I was very angry and with the frowning eyes, I warned him, if he won't let me swing I will hit you with the stone. He said, "Whatever!". Then, I took a small stone in my hand and I throw onto him, without thinking it could hurt his eyes and harm him. He started crying and I started swinging.
    The next day, his mother come to my house complaining my mother and said, "See, what your son has done to my son! His eyes were bleeding". After that, my mother asked me about the incident and I explained her the whole story, how he hit me and my legs were bleeding and saw her the scratches on my hands, and finally, how I throw the stone on him. That lady was still shouting on me and my mother. My mother asked her to bring a stone and let her son hit on my eyes. If this could make her son feel better then do that. Then she thought for a while and said to my mother, "Oh, I am sorry. I don't know why I spelled so bad words for you. My mother said, "They are children and a friends, today they fought and tomorrow they will play together again then why we are blaming and shouting". I don't forget these words my mother told her. That day, I didn't understand what the meaning of those words was. But when I grew up, I understood, what she meant to say. After that incident I never threw any stone on anybody.

      Why are crying, Cinderella?” a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy godmother standing beside her, “because I want so much to go to the ball” said Cinderella. “Well” said the godmother,”you’ve been such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you do go to the ball”.
      Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella’s raged dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. “Now, Cinderella”, she said; “You must leave before midnight”. Then away she drove in her beautiful coach.
      Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and again with the king’s son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran toward the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass slipper was left behind.
      A few days later, the king’ son proclaimed that he would marry the girl whose feet fitted the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it was too small for them, no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the king’s page let Cinderella try on the slipper. She stuck out her foot and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.

  45. Pada jaman dahulu di daerah pasundan ada seorang raja yang bernama Prabu Tapak Agung. Beliau memimpin wilayahnya dengan sangat bijaksana, sehingga dicintai oleh rakyatnya. Sang raja mempunyai dua orang putri yang cantik. Yang tertua bernama Purbararang, dan adiknya bernama Purbasari.
    Suatu hari, saat mendekati akhir hayatnya, sang raja meminta Purbasari putri bungsunya untuk menggantikan posisinya memimpin kerajaan. "Anakku, aku sudah lelah dan terlalu tua untuk memimpin, jadi sudah saatnya aku turun tahta," kata sang raja. Purbararang, yang merupakan kakak dari Purbasari, tidak setuju dengan perintah ayahnya tersebut. Dia merasa bahwa karena dia adalah anak tertua, maka dia lah yang seharusnya menggantikan posisi ayahnya sebagai pemimpin kerajaan.

    Purbararang yang sangat geram dan iri tersebut kemudian berencana untuk mencelakakan adiknya. Purbararang pergi menemui seorang nenek sihir. Dia meminta nenek sihir tersebut untuk memanterai adiknya. Akibat dari mantera nenek sihir itu cukup parah. Purbasari tiba-tiba kulitnya menjadi bertotol-totol hitam, dan itu lah yang dijadikan alasan oleh Purbararang untuk mengusirnya dari istana. "Pergi dari sini!" kata Purbararang kepada adiknya. "Orang yang telah dikutuk seperti kamu tidak layak untuk menjadi seorang ratu, bahkan tidak layak untuk tinggal di sini!" lanjutnya.
    Purbararang lalu menyuruh seorang Patih untuk mengasingkan adiknya itu ke tengah hutan. Dengan berat hati, Patih tersebut menuruti perintahnya. Namun, di tengah hutan, sang Patih yang sebenarnya baik hati itu tidak langsung meninggalkannya. Dibuatkannya sebuah pondok untuk Purbasari. Sebelum pergi, dia juga menasehati sang putri yang malang itu, memintanya agar selalu tabah dan sabar.

  46. Selama tinggal di hutan, Purbasari tidak pernah merasa kesepian. Sang putri yang baik hati itu berteman dengan banyak hewan, yang juga selalu baik kepadanya. Di antara ratusan hewan yang menjadi temannya, ada seekor kera dengan bulu berwarna hitam yang misterius. Di antara hewan-hewan lainnya, kera tersebut lah yang paling perhatian dan paling baik hati kepada Purbasari. Kera tersebut bahkan sering membawakan bunga dan buah-buahan untuk menghibur hati sang putri. Purbasari lalu memberi nama kera itu Lutung Kasarung.

    Pada suatu malam, saat bulan purnama, kera yang menjadi teman Purbasari tersebut pergi ke tempat yang sepi untuk bersemedi. Setelah cukup lama bersemedi, tiba-tiba tanah di dekat tempatnya bersemedi mulai mengeluarkan air yang jernih dan harum, yang kemudian membentuk sebuah telaga kecil.

    Keesokan harinya, kera tersebut meminta Purbasari untuk mandi di telaga kecil itu. Walaupun awalnya merasa ragu, Purbasari menuruti permintaannya. Hal yang ajaib pun terjadi. Setelah mandi, tiba-tiba kulit Purbasari menjadi bersih seperti semula. Sang putri pun menjadi cantik jelita seperti sedia kala. Purbasari sangat terkejut dan merasa sangat gembira karena kecantikannya telah pulih.

  47. Tiba-tiba terjadi sebuah keajaiban. Monyet sahabat Purbasari berubah menjadi seorang pemuda yang gagah dan berwajah sangat tampan, jauh lebih tampan dari tunangan Purbararang. Para pengawal yang melihat hal tersebut terheran-heran dan bersorak gembira karena putri yang baik hati menang. Purbararang mengaku kalah, mengakui kesalahannya, dan meminta maaf. Purbasari yang baik hati tidak dendam dan tidak menghukum kakaknya yang jahat itu.

    Purbasari kemudian menjadi seorang ratu yang memimpin kerajaannya dengan bijaksana, ditemani oleh pemuda pujaan hatinya, yang dulu selalu menemaninya dengan setia dalam wujud seekor lutung.

  48. Telaga itu tidak seberapa lebar dan dalam, kurang lebih tiga meter panjangnya dan dua meter lebarnya dengan kedalaman dua meter. Airnya Bening dan jernih, tidak pernah kering walau kemarau panjang sekalipun. Letaknya di atas sebuah pematang, di bawah keteduhan, kelebatan, dan kerindangan pepohonan, khususnya pohon limau. Jika pohon-pohon limau itu berbunga, berkerumunlah burung-burung dan serangga mengisap madu. Di permukaan tanah itu menjalar dengan suburnya sejenis tumbuhan, gadung namanya. Gadung mempunyai umbi yang besar dan dapat dibuat menjadi kerupuk yang gurih dan enak rasanya. Akan tetapi, jika kurang mahir mengolah bisa menjadi racun bagi orang yang memakannya karena memabukkan.
    Daerah itu dihuni seorang lelaki tampan, Awang Sukma namanya. la hidup seorang diri dan tidak mempunyai istri. Ia menjadi seorang penguasa di daerah itu. Oleh karena itu, ia bergelar data. Selain berwajah tampan, ia juga mahir meniup suling. Lagu-lagunya menyentuh perasaan siapa saja yang mendengarkannya.

    Awang Sukma sering memanen burung jika pohon limau sedang berbunga dan burung-burung datangan mengisap madu. Ia memasang getah pohon yang sudah dimasak dengan melekatkannya di bilah-bilah bambu. Bilah-bilah bambu yang sudah diberi getah itu disebut pulut. Pulut itu dipasang di sela-sela tangkai bunga. Ketika burung hinggap, kepak sayapnya akan melekat di pulut. Semakin burung itu meronta, semakin erat sayapnya melekat. Akhirnya, burung itu menggelepar jatuh ke tanah bersama bilah-bilah pulut. Kemudian, Awang Sukma menangkap dan memasukkannya ke dalam keranjang. Biasanya, puluhan ekor burung dapat dibawanya pulang. Konon itulah sebabnya di kalangan penduduk, Awang Sukma dijuluki Datu Suling dan Datu Pulut.

  49. Akan tetapi, pada suatu hari suasana di daerah itu amat sepi. Tidak ada burung dan tidak ada seekor pun serangga berminat mendekati bunga-bunga Iimau yang sedang merekah.

    “Heran,” ujar Awang Sukma, “sepertinya bunga limau itu beracun sehingga burung-burung tidak mau lagi menghampirinya.” Awang Sukma tidak putus asa. Sambil berbaring di rindangnya pohon-pohon limau, ia melantunkan lagu-lagu indah melalui tiupan sulingnya. Selalu demikian yang ia lakukan sambil menjaga pulutnya mengena. Sebenarnya dengan meniup suling itu, ia ingin menghibur diri. Karena dengan lantunan irama suling, kerinduannya kepada mereka yang ia tinggalkan agak terobati. Konon, Awang Sukma adalah seorang pendatang dari negeri jauh.

    Awang Sukma terpana oleh irama sulingnya. Tiupan angin lembut yang membelai rambutnya membuat ia terkantuk-kantuk. Akhirnya, gema suling menghilang dan suling itu tergeletak di sisinya. Ia tertidur.
    Entah berapa lama ia terbuai mimpi, tiba-tiba ia terbangun karena dikejutkan suara hiruk pikuk sayap-sayap yang mengepak. Ia tidak percaya pada penglihatannya. Matanya diusap-usap.

    Ternyata, ada tujuh putri muda cantik turun dari angkasa. Mereka terbang menuju telaga. Tidak lama kemudian, terdengar suara ramai dan gelak tawa mereka bersembur-semburan air.

    “Aku ingin melihat mereka dari dekat,” gumam Awang Sukma sambil mencari tempat untuk mengintip yang tidak mudah diketahui orang yang sedang diintip.

  50. Kebingungan, ketakutan, dan rasa kesal membuat putri bungsu tidak berdaya. Saat itu, Awang Sukma keluar dari tempat persembunyiannya.

    “Tuan Putri jangan takut dan sedih,” bujuk Awang Sukma, “tinggallah sementara bersama hamba.”

    Tidak ada alasan bagi putri bungsu untuk menolak. Putri bungsu pun tinggal bersama Awang Sukma.

  51. Awang Sukma merasa bahwa putri bungsu itu jodohnya sehingga ia meminangnya. Putri bungsu pun bersedia menjadi istrinya. Mereka menjadi pasangan yang amat serasi, antara ketampanan dan kecantikan, kebijaksanaan dan kelemahlembutan, dalam ikatan cinta kasih. Buah cinta kasih mereka adalah seorang putri yang diberi nama Kumalasari. Wajah dan kulitnya mewarisi kecantikan ibunya.

    Rupanya memang sudah adat dunia, tidak ada yang kekal dan abadi di muka bumi ini. Apa yang disembunyikan Awang Sukma selama ini akhirnya tercium baunya.
    Sore itu, Awang Sukma tidur lelap sekali. Ia merasa amat lelah sehabis bekerja. Istrinya duduk di samping buaian putrinya yang juga tertidur lelap. Pada saat itu, seekor ayam hitam naik ke atas lumbung. Dia mengais dan mencotok padi di permukaan lumbung sambil berkotek dengan ribut. Padi pun berhamburan ke lantai.
    Putri bungsu memburunya. Tidak sengaja matanya menatap sebuah bumbung di bekas kaisan ayam hitam tadi. Putri bungsu mengambil bumbung itu karena ingin tahu isinya. Betapa kaget hatinya setelah melihat isi bumbung itu.

    “Ternyata, suamiku yang menyembunyikan pakaianku sehingga aku tidak bisa pulang bersama kakak-kakakku,” katanya sambil mendekap pakaian itu.

    Perasaan putri bungsu berkecamuk sehingga dadanya turun naik. Ia merasa gemas, kesal, tertipu, marah, dan sedih. Aneka rasa itu berbaur dengan rasa cinta kepada suaminya.

  52. “Aku harus kembali,” katanya dalam hati.

    Kemudian, putri bungsu mengenakan pakaian itu. Setelah itu, ia menggendong putrinya yang belum setahun usianya. Ia memeluk dan mencium putrinya sepuas-puasnya sambil menangis. Kumalasari pun menangis. Tangis ibu dan anak itu membuat Awang Sukma terjaga.

    Awang Sukma terpana ketika menatap pakaian yang dikenakan istrinya. Bumbung tempat menyembunyikan pakaian itu tergeletak di atas kindai. Sadarlah ia bahwa saat perpisahan tidak mungkin ditunda lagi.

    “Adinda harus kembali,” kata istrinya. “Kanda, peliharalah putri kita, Kumalasari. Jika ia merindukan ibunya, Kanda ambillah tujuh biji kemiri, masukkan ke dalam bakul. Lantas, bakul itu Kanda goncang-goncangkan. Lantunkanlah sebuah lagu dengan suling Kanda. Adinda akan datang menjumpainya.”

  53. Disebuah bukit yang jauh dari desa, didaerah Kalimantan hiduplah seorang janda miskin dan seorang anak gadisnya. Anak gadis janda itu sangat cantik jelita. Namun sayang, ia mempunyai prilaku yang amat buruk. Gadis itu amat pemalas, tak pernah membantu ibunya melakukan pekerjaan-pekerjaan rumah. Kerjanya hanya bersolek setiap hari.
    Selain pemalas, anak gadis itu sikapnya manja sekali. Segala permintaannya harus dituruti. Setiap kali ia meminta sesuatu kepada ibunya harus dikabulkan, tanpa memperdulikan keadaan ibunya yang miskin, setiap hari harus membanting tulang mencari sesuap nasi.

    Pada suatu hari anak gadis itu diajak ibunya turun ke desa untuk berbelanja. Letak pasar desa itu amat jauh, sehingga mereka harus berjalan kaki yang cukup melelahkan. Anak gadis itu berjalan melenggang dengan memakai pakaian yang bagus dan bersolek agar orang dijalan yang melihatnya nanti akan mengagumi kecantikannya. Sementara ibunya berjalan dibelakang sambil membawa keranjang dengan pakaian sangat dekil. Karena mereka hidup ditempat terpencil, tak seorangpun mengetahui bahwa kedua perempuan yang berjalan itu adalah ibu dan anak.

  54. Ketika mereka mulai memasuki desa, orang-orang desa memandangi mereka. Mereka begitu terpesona melihat kecantikan anak gadis itu, terutama para pemuda desa yang tak puas-puasnya memandang wajah gadis itu. Namun ketika melihat orang yang berjalan dibelakang gadis itu, sungguh kontras keadaannya. Hal itu membuat orang bertanya-tanya.

    Di antara orang yang melihatnya itu, seorang pemuda mendekati dan bertanya kepada gadis itu, “Hai, gadis cantik. Apakah yang berjalan dibelakang itu ibumu?”

    Namun, apa jawaban anak gadis itu ?
    “Bukan,” katanya dengan angkuh. “Ia adalah pembantuku !”
    Kedua ibu dan anak itu kemudian meneruskan perjalanan. Tak seberapa jauh, mendekati lagi seorang pemuda dan bertanya kepada anak gadis itu.
    “Hai, manis. Apakah yang berjalan dibelakangmu itu ibumu?” “Bukan, bukan,” jawab gadis itu dengan mendongakkan kepalanya. ” Ia adalah budakk!”
    Begitulah setiap gadis itu bertemu dengan seseorang disepanjang jalan yang menanyakan perihal ibunya, selalu jawabannya itu. Ibunya diperlakukan sebagai pembantu atau budaknya.

  55. Pada mulanya mendengar jawaban putrinya yang durhaka jika ditanya orang, si ibu masih dapat menahan diri. Namun setelah berulang kali didengarnya jawabannya sama dan yang amat menyakitkan hati, akhirnya si ibu yang malang itu tak dapat menahan diri. Si ibu berdoa.

    “Ya Tuhan, hamba tak kuat menahan hinaan ini. Anak kandung hamba begitu teganya memperlakukan diri hamba sedemikian rupa. Ya, tuhan hukumlah anak durhaka ini ! Hukumlah dia….”
    Atas kekuasaan Tuhan Yang Maha Esa, perlahan-lahan tubuh gadis durhaka itu berubah menjadi batu. Perubahan itu dimulai dari kaki. Ketika perubahan itu telah mencapai setengah badan, anak gadis itu menangis memohon ampun kepada ibunya.

    ” Oh, Ibu..ibu..ampunilah saya, ampunilah kedurhakaan anakmu selama ini. Ibu…Ibu…ampunilah anakmu..” Anak gadis itu terus meratap dan menangis memohon kepada ibunya. Akan tetapi, semuanya telah terlambat. Seluruh tubuh gadis itu akhirnya berubah menjadi batu. Sekalipun menjadi batu, namun orang dapat melihat bahwa kedua matanya masih menitikkan air mata, seperti sedang menangis. Oleh karena itu, batu yang berasal dari gadis yang mendapat kutukan ibunya itu disebut ” Batu Menangis “.
    Demikianlah cerita berbentuk legenda ini, yang oleh masyarakat setempat dipercaya bahwa kisah itu benar-benar pernah terjadi. Barang siapa yang mendurhakai ibu kandung yang telah melahirkan dan membesarkannya, pasti perbuatan laknatnya itu akan mendapat hukuman dari Tuhan Yang Maha Kuasa.

Meski ayah bawang putih hanya pedagang biasa, namun mereka hidup rukun dan damai. Namun suatu hari ibu bawang putih sakit keras dan akhirnya meninggal dunia. Bawang putih sangat berduka demikian pula ayahnya.

  57. Suatu hari ayah Bawang putih jatuh sakit dan kemudian meninggal dunia. Sejak saat itu Bawang merah dan ibunya semakin berkuasa dan semena-mena terhadap Bawang putih. Bawang putih hampir tidak pernah beristirahat. Dia sudah harus bangun sebelum subuh, untuk mempersiapkan air mandi dan sarapan bagi Bawang merah dan ibunya. Kemudian dia harus memberi makan ternak, menyirami kebun dan mencuci baju ke sungai. Lalu dia masih harus menyetrika, membereskan rumah, dan masih banyak pekerjaan lainnya. Namun Bawang putih selalu melakukan pekerjaannya dengan gembira, karena dia berharap suatu saat ibu tirinya akan mencintainya seperti anak kandungnya sendiri.

    Pagi ini seperti biasa Bawang putih membawa bakul berisi pakaian yang akan dicucinya di sungai. Dengan bernyanyi kecil dia menyusuri jalan setapak di pinggir hutan kecil yang biasa dilaluinya. Hari itu cuaca sangat cerah. Bawang putih segera mencuci semua pakaian kotor yang dibawanya. Saking terlalu asyiknya, Bawang putih tidak menyadari bahwasalah satu baju telah hanyut terbawa arus. Celakanya baju yang hanyut adalah baju kesayangan ibu tirinya. Ketika menyadari hal itu, baju ibu tirinya telah hanyut terlalu jauh. Bawang putih mencoba menyusuri sungai untuk mencarinya, namun tidak berhasil menemukannya. Dengan putus asa dia kembali ke rumah dan menceritakannya kepada ibunya.

    ReplyDelete
  58. “Dasar ceroboh!” bentak ibu tirinya. “Aku tidak mau tahu, pokoknya kamu harus mencari baju itu! Dan jangan berani pulang ke rumah kalau kau belum menemukannya. Mengerti?”

    Bawang putih terpaksa menuruti keinginan ibun tirinya. Dia segera menyusuri sungai tempatnya mencuci tadi. Mataharisudah mulai meninggi, namun Bawang putih belum juga menemukan baju ibunya. Dia memasang matanya, dengan teliti diperiksanya setiap juluran akar yang menjorok ke sungai, siapa tahu baju ibunya tersangkut disana. Setelah jauh melangkah dan matahari sudah condong ke barat, Bawang putih melihat seorang penggembala yang sedang memandikan kerbaunya. Maka Bawang putih bertanya: “Wahai paman yang baik, apakah paman melihat baju merah yang hanyut lewat sini? Karena saya harus menemukan dan membawanya pulang.” “Ya tadi saya lihat nak. Kalau kamu mengejarnya cepat-cepat, mungkin kau bisa mengejarnya,” kata paman itu.

    “Baiklah paman, terima kasih!” kata Bawang putih dan segera berlari kembali menyusuri. Hari sudah mulai gelap, Bawang putih sudah mulai putus asa. Sebentar lagi malam akan tiba, dan Bawang putih. Dari kejauhan tampak cahaya lampu yang berasal dari sebuah gubuk di tepi sungai. Bawang putih segera menghampiri rumah itu dan mengetuknya.
    “Permisi…!” kata Bawang putih. Seorang perempuan tua membuka pintu.
    “Siapa kamu nak?” tanya nenek itu.

    “Saya Bawang putih nek. Tadi saya sedang mencari baju ibu saya yang hanyut. Dan sekarang kemalaman. Bolehkah saya tinggal di sini malam ini?” tanya Bawang putih.
    “Boleh nak. Apakah baju yang kau cari berwarna merah?” tanya nenek.
    “Ya nek. Apa…nenek menemukannya?” tanya Bawang putih.

    “Ya. Tadi baju itu tersangkut di depan rumahku. Sayang, padahal aku menyukai baju itu,” kata nenek. “Baiklah aku akan mengembalikannya, tapi kau harus menemaniku dulu disini selama seminggu. Sudah lama aku tidak mengobrol dengan siapapun, bagaimana?” pinta nenek.Bawang putih berpikir sejenak. Nenek itu kelihatan kesepian. Bawang putih pun merasa iba. “Baiklah nek, saya akan menemani nenek selama seminggu, asal nenek tidak bosan saja denganku,” kata Bawang putih dengan tersenyum.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Selama seminggu Bawang putih tinggal dengan nenek tersebut. Setiap hari Bawang putih membantu mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah nenek. Tentu saja nenek itu merasa senang. Hingga akhirnya genap sudah seminggu, nenek pun memanggil bawang putih.
    “Nak, sudah seminggu kau tinggal di sini. Dan aku senang karena kau anak yang rajin dan berbakti. Untuk itu sesuai janjiku kau boleh membawa baju ibumu pulang. Dan satu lagi, kau boleh memilih satu dari dua labu kuning ini sebagai hadiah!” kata nenek.
    Mulanya Bawang putih menolak diberi hadiah tapi nenek tetap memaksanya. Akhirnya Bawang putih memilih labu yang paling kecil. “Saya takut tidak kuat membawa yang besar,” katanya. Nenek pun tersenyum dan mengantarkan Bawang putih hingga depan rumah.

    Sesampainya di rumah, Bawang putih menyerahkan baju merah milik ibu tirinya sementara dia pergi ke dapur untuk membelah labu kuningnya. Alangkah terkejutnya bawang putih ketika labu itu terbelah, didalamnya ternyata berisi emas permata yang sangat banyak. Dia berteriak saking gembiranya dan memberitahukan hal ajaib ini ke ibu tirinya dan bawang merah yang dengan serakah langsun merebut emas dan permata tersebut. Mereka memaksa bawang putih untuk menceritakan bagaimana dia bisa mendapatkan hadiah tersebut. Bawang putih pun menceritakan dengan sejujurnya.
    Mendengar cerita bawang putih, bawang merah dan ibunya berencana untuk melakukan hal yang sama tapi kali ini bawang merah yang akan melakukannya. Singkat kata akhirnya bawang merah sampai di rumah nenek tua di pinggir sungai tersebut. Seperti bawang putih, bawang merah pun diminta untuk menemaninya selama seminggu. Tidak seperti bawang putih yang rajin, selama seminggu itu bawang merah hanya bermalas-malasan. Kalaupun ada yang dikerjakan maka hasilnya tidak pernah bagus karena selalu dikerjakan dengan asal-asalan. Akhirnya setelah seminggu nenek itu membolehkan bawang merah untuk pergi. “Bukankah seharusnya nenek memberiku labu sebagai hadiah karena menemanimu selama seminggu?” tanya bawang merah. Nenek itu terpaksa menyuruh bawang merah memilih salah satu dari dua labu yang ditawarkan. Dengan cepat bawang merah mengambil labu yang besar dan tanpa mengucapkan terima kasih dia melenggang pergi.

  60. Sesampainya di rumah bawang merah segera menemui ibunya dan dengan gembira memperlihatkan labu yang dibawanya. Karena takut bawang putih akan meminta bagian, mereka menyuruh bawang putih untuk pergi ke sungai. Lalu dengan tidak sabar mereka membelah labu tersebut. Tapi ternyata bukan emas permata yang keluar dari labu tersebut, melainkan binatang-binatang berbisa seperti ular, kalajengking, dan lain-lain.

    Pada suatu sore pergilah mbok Sarni ke hutan untuk mencari kayu, dan ditengah jalan mbok Sarni bertemu dengan raksasa yang sangat besar sekali. “Hei, mau kemana kamu?”, tanya si Raksasa. “Aku hanya mau mengumpulkan kayu bakar, jadi ijinkanlah aku lewat”, jawab mbok Sarni. “Hahahaha.... kamu boleh lewat setelah kamu memberiku seorang anak manusia untuk aku santap”, kata si Raksasa. Lalu mbok Sarni menjawab, “Tetapi aku tidak mempunyai anak”.

    Setelah mbok Sarni mengatakan bahwa dia tidak punya anak dan ingin sekali punya anak, maka si Raksasa memberinya biji mentimun. Raksasa itu berkata, “Wahai wanita tua, ini aku berikan kamu biji mentimun. Tanamlah biji ini di halaman rumahmu, dan setelah dua minggu kamu akan mendapatkan seorang anak. Tetapi ingat, serahkan anak itu padaku setelah usianya enam tahun”.

    Setelah dua minggu, mentimun itu nampak berbuah sangat lebat dan ada salah satu mentimun yang cukup besar. Mbok Sarni kemudian mengambilnya , dan setelah dibelah ternyata isinya adalah seorang bayi yang sangat cantik jelita. Bayi itu kemudian diberi nama Timun Mas.

  62. Semakin hari Timun Mas semakin tumbuh besar, dan mbok Sarni sangat gembira sekali karena rumahnya tidak sepi lagi. Semua pekerjaannya bisa selesai dengan cepat karena bantuan Timun Mas.

    Akhirnya pada suatu hari datanglah si Raksasa untuk menagih janji. Mbok Sarni sangat ketakutan, dan tidak mau kehilangan Timun Mas. Kemudian mbok Sarni berkata, “Wahai raksasa, datanglah kesini dua tahun lagi. Semakin dewasa anak ini, maka semakin enak untuk di santap”. Si Raksasa pun setuju dan meninggalkan rumah mbok Sarni.

    Waktu dua tahun bukanlah waktu yang lama, karena itu tiap hari mbok Sarni mencari akal bagaimana caranya supaya anaknya tidak dibawa si Raksasa. Hati mbok Sarni sangat cemas sekali, dan akhirnya pada suatu malam mbok Sarni bermimpi. Dalam mimpinya itu, ia diberitahu agar Timun Mas menemui petapa di Gunung.

    Pagi harinya mbok Sarni menyuruh Timun Mas untuk segera menemui petapa itu. Setelah bertemu dengan petapa, Timun Mas kemudian bercerita tentang maksud kedatangannya. Sang petapa kemudian memberinya empat buah bungkusan kecil yang isinya biji mentimun, jarum, garam, dan terasi. “Lemparkan satu per satu bungkusan ini, kalau kamu dikejar oleh raksasa itu”, perintah petapa. Kemudian Timun Mas pulang ke rumah, dan langsung menyimpan bungkusan dari sang petapa.

    Paginya raksasa datang lagi untuk menagih janji. “Wahai wanita tua, mana anak itu? Aku sudah tidak tahan untuk menyantapnya”, teriak si Raksasa. Kemudian mbok Sarni menjawab, “Janganlah kau ambil anakku ini wahai raksasa, karena aku sangat sayang padanya. Lebih baik aku saja yang kamu santap”. Raksasa tidak mau menerima tawaran dari mbok Sarni itu, dan akhirnya marah besar. “Mana anak itu? Mana Timun Mas?”, teriak si raksasa.

  63. Karena tidak tega melihat mbok Sarni menangis terus, maka Timun Mas keluar dari tempat sembunyinya. “Aku di sini raksasa, tangkaplah aku jika kau bisa!!!”, teriak Timun Mas.

    Raksasa pun mengejarnya, dan Timun Mas mulai melemparkan kantong yang berisi mentimun. Sungguh ajaib, hutan menjadi ladang mentimun yang lebat buahnya. Raksasapun menjadi terhambat, karena batang timun tersebut terus melilit tubuhnya. Tetapi akhirnya si raksasa berhasil bebas juga, dan mulai mengejar Timun Mas lagi. Lalu Timun Mas menaburkan kantong kedua yang berisi jarum, dalam sekejap tumbuhlah pohon-pohon bambu yang sangat tinggi dan tajam. Dengan kaki yang berdarah-darah karena tertancap bambu tersebut si raksasa terus mengejar.

    Kemudian Timun Mas membuka kantong ketiga yang berisi garam. Seketika itu hutan pun menjadi lautan yang luas. Tetapi lautan itu dengan mudah dilalui si raksasa. Yang terakhir Timun Mas akhirnya menaburkan terasi, seketika itu terbentuklah lautan lumpur yang mendidih, dan si raksasa tercebur di dalamnya. Akhirnya raksasa pun mati.

    Timun Mas mengucap syukur kepada Tuhan YME, karena sudah diselamatkan dari raksasa yang kejam. Akhirnya Timun Mas dan Mbok Sarni hidup bahagia dan damai.

Kerajaan-kerajaan kecil di wilayah sekitar Prambanan juga sangat tunduk dan menghormati kepemimpinan Prabu Baka.

    Sementara itu di lain tempat, ada satu kerajaan yang tak kalah besarnya dengan kerajaan Prambanan, yakni kerajaan Pengging. Kerajaan tersebut terkenal sangat arogan dan ingin selalu memperluas wilayah kekuasaanya. Kerajaan Pengging mempunyai seorang ksatria sakti yang bernama Bondowoso. Dia mempunyai senjata sakti yang bernama Bandung, sehingga Bondowoso terkenal dengan sebutan Bandung Bondowoso. Selain mempunyai senjata yang sakti, Bandung Bondowoso juga mempunyai bala tentara berupa Jin. Bala tentara tersebut yang digunakan Bandung Bondowoso untuk membantunya untuk menyerang kerajaan lain dan memenuhi segala keinginannya.

    Hingga Suatu ketika, Raja Pengging yang arogan memanggil Bandung Bondowoso. Raja Pengging itu kemudian memerintahkan Bandung Bondowoso untuk menyerang Kerajaan Prambanan. Keesokan harinya Bandung Bondowoso memanggil balatentaranya yang berupa Jin untuk berkumpul, dan langsung berangkat ke Kerajaan Prambanan.

    Setibanya di Prambanan, mereka langsung menyerbu masuk ke dalam istana Prambanan. Prabu Baka dan pasukannya kalang kabut, karena mereka kurang persiapan. Akhirnya Bandung Bondowoso berhasil menduduki Kerajaan Prambanan, dan Prabu Baka tewas karena terkena senjata Bandung Bondowoso.

    Kemenangan Bandung Bondowoso dan pasukannya disambut gembira oleh Raja Pengging. Kemudian Raja Pengging pun mengamanatkan Bandung Bondowoso untuk menempati Istana Prambanan dan mengurus segala isinya,termasuk keluarga Prabu Baka.

  65. Pada saat Bandung Bondowoso tinggal di Istana Kerajaan Prambanan, dia melihat seorang wanita yang sangat cantik jelita. Wanita tersebut adalah Roro Jonggrang, putri dari Prabu Baka. Saat melihat Roro Jonggrang, Bandung Bondowoso mulai jatuh hati. Dengan tanpa berpikir panjang lagi, Bandung Bondowoso langsung memanggil dan melamar Roro Jonggrang.

    “Wahai Roro Jonggrang, bersediakah seandainya dikau menjadi permaisuriku?”, Tanya Bandung Bondowoso pada Roro Jonggrang.

    Mendengar pertanyaan dari Bandung Bondowoso tersebut, Roro Jonggrang hanya terdiam dan kelihatan bingung. Sebenarnya dia sangat membenci Bandung Bondowoso, karena telah membunuh ayahnya yang sangat dicintainya. Tetapi di sisi lain, Roro Jonggrang merasa takut menolak lamaran Bandung Bondowoso. Akhirnya setelah berfikir sejenak, Roro Jonggrang pun menemukan satu cara supaya Bandung Bondowoso tidak jadi menikahinya.

    “Baiklah,aku menerima lamaranmu. Tetapi setelah kamu memenuhi satu syarat dariku”,jawab Roro Jonggrang.

    “Apakah syaratmu itu Roro Jonggrang?”,Tanya Bandung Bandawasa.

    “Buatkan aku seribu candi dan dua buah sumur dalam waktu satu malam”, Jawab Roro Jonggrang.

    Mendengar syarat yang diajukan Roro Jonggrang tersebut, Bandung Bondowoso pun langsung menyetujuinya. Dia merasa bahwa itu adalah syarat yang sangat mudah baginya, karena Bandung Bondowoso mempunyai balatentara Jin yang sangat banyak.

    Pada malam harinya, Bandung Bandawasa mulai mengumpulkan balatentaranya. Dalam waktu sekejap, balatentara yang berupa Jin tersebut datang. Setelah mendengar perintah dari Bandung Bondowoso, para balatentara itu langsung membangun candi dan sumur dengan sangat cepat.

    Roro Jonggrang yang menyaksikan pembangunan candi mulai gelisah dan ketakutan, karena dalam dua per tiga malam, tinggal tiga buah candi dan sebuah sumur saja yang belum mereka selesaikan.

  66. Roro Jonggrang kemudian berpikir keras, mencari cara supaya Bandung Bondowoso tidak dapat memenuhi persyaratannya.

    Setelah berpikir keras, Roro Jonggrang akhirnya menemukan jalan keluar. Dia akan membuat suasana menjadi seperti pagi,sehingga para Jin tersebut menghentikan pembuatan candi.

    Roro Jonggrang segera memanggil semua dayang-dayang yang ada di istana. Dayang-dayang tersebut diberi tugas Roro Jonggrang untuk membakar jerami, membunyikan lesung, serta menaburkan bunga yang berbau semerbak mewangi.

    Mendengar perintah dari Roro Jonggrang, dayang-dayang segera membakar jerami. Tak lama kemudian langit tampak kemerah merahan, dan lesung pun mulai dibunyikan. Bau harum bunga yang disebar mulai tercium, dan ayam pun mulai berkokok.

    Melihat langit memerah, bunyi lesung, dan bau harumnya bunga tersebut, maka balatentara Bandung Bondowoso mulai pergi meninggalkan pekerjaannya. Mereka pikir hari sudah mulai pagi, dan mereka pun harus pergi.

    Melihat Balatentaranya pergi, Bandung Bondowoso berteriak: “Hai balatentaraku, hari belum pagi. Kembalilah untuk menyelesaikan pembangunan candi ini !!!”

    Para Jin tersebut tetap pergi, dan tidak menghiraukan teriakan Bandung Bondowoso. Bandung Bondowoso pun merasa sangat kesal, dan akhirnya menyelesaikan pembangunan candi yang tersisa. Namun sungguh sial, belum selesai pembangunan candi tersebut, pagi sudah datang. Bandung Bondowoso pun gagal memenuhi syarat dari Roro Jonggrang.

  71. Pada jaman dahulu, di Jawa Barat hiduplah seorang putri raja yang bernama Dayang Sumbi. Ia mempunyai seorang anak laki-laki yang bernama Sangkuriang. Anak tersebut sangat gemar berburu di dalam hutan. Setiap berburu, dia selalu ditemani oleh seekor anjing kesayangannya yang bernama Tumang. Tumang sebenarnya adalah titisan dewa, dan juga bapak kandung Sangkuriang, tetapi Sangkuriang tidak tahu hal itu dan ibunya memang sengaja merahasiakannya.

    Cerita Rakyat Nusantara " Sangkuriang (Gunung Tangkuban Perahu)"

    Pada suatu hari, seperti biasanya Sangkuriang pergi ke hutan untuk berburu. Setelah sesampainya di hutan, Sangkuriang mulai mencari buruan. Dia melihat ada seekor burung yang sedang bertengger di dahan, lalu tanpa berpikir panjang Sangkuriang langsung menembaknya, dan tepat mengenai sasaran. Sangkuriang lalu memerintah Tumang untuk mengejar buruannya tadi, tetapi si Tumang diam saja dan tidak mau mengikuti perintah Sangkuriang. Karena sangat jengkel pada Tumang, maka Sangkuriang lalu mengusir Tumang dan tidak diijinkan pulang ke rumah bersamanya lagi.


    Sesampainya di rumah, Sangkuriang menceritakan kejadian tersebut kepada ibunya. Begitu mendengar cerita dari anaknya, Dayang Sumbi sangat marah. Diambilnya sendok nasi, dan dipukulkan ke kepala Sangkuriang. Karena merasa kecewa dengan perlakuan ibunya, maka Sangkuriang memutuskan untuk pergi mengembara, dan meninggalkan rumahnya.

    Setelah kejadian itu, Dayang Sumbi sangat menyesali perbuatannya. Ia berdoa setiap hari, dan meminta agar suatu hari dapat bertemu dengan anaknya kembali. Karena kesungguhan dari doa Dayang Sumbi tersebut, maka Dewa memberinya sebuah hadiah berupa kecantikan abadi dan usia muda selamanya.

  72. Setelah bertahun-tahun lamanya Sangkuriang mengembara, akhirnya ia berniat untuk pulang ke kampung halamannya. Sesampainya di sana, dia sangat terkejut sekali, karena kampung halamannya sudah berubah total. Rasa senang Sangkuriang tersebut bertambah ketika saat di tengah jalan bertemu dengan seorang wanita yang sangat cantik jelita, yang tidak lain adalah Dayang Sumbi. Karena terpesona dengan kecantikan wanita tersebut, maka Sangkuriang langsung melamarnya. Akhirnya lamaran Sangkuriang diterima oleh Dayang Sumbi, dan sepakat akan menikah di waktu dekat.

    Pada suatu hari, Sangkuriang meminta ijin calon istrinya untuk berburu di hatan. Sebelum berangkat, ia meminta Dayang Sumbi untuk mengencangkan dan merapikan ikat kapalanya. Alangkah terkejutnya Dayang Sumbi, karena pada saat dia merapikan ikat kepala Sangkuriang, Ia melihat ada bekas luka. Bekas luka tersebut mirip dengan bekas luka anaknya. Setelah bertanya kepada Sangkuriang tentang penyebab lukanya itu, Dayang Sumbi bertambah tekejut, karena ternyata benar bahwa calon suaminya tersebut adalah anaknya sendiri.

    Dayang Sumbi sangat bingung sekali, karena dia tidak mungkin menikah dengan anaknya sendiri. Setelah Sangkuriang pulang berburu, Dayang Sumbi mencoba berbicara kepada Sangkuriang, supaya Sangkuriang membatalkan rencana pernikahan mereka. Permintaan Dayang Sumbi tersebut tidak disetujui Sangkuriang, dan hanya dianggap angin lalu saja.

    Setiap hari Dayang Sumbi berpikir bagaimana cara agar pernikahan mereka tidak pernah terjadi. Setelah berpikir keras, akhirnya Dayang Sumbi menemukan cara terbaik. Dia mengajukan dua buah syarat kepada Sangkuriang. Apabila Sangkuriang dapat memenuhi kedua syarat tersebut, maka Dayang Sumbi mau dijadikan istri, tetapi sebaliknya jika gagal maka pernikahan itu akan dibatalkan. Syarat yang pertama Dayang Sumbi ingin supaya sungai Citarum dibendung. Dan yang kedua adalah, meminta Sangkuriang untuk membuat sampan yang sangat besar untuk menyeberang sungai. Kedua syarat itu harus diselesai sebelum fajar menyingsing.

  73. Sangkuriang menyanggupi kedua permintaan Dayang Sumbi tersebut, dan berjanji akan menyelesaikannya sebelum fajar menyingsing. Dengan kesaktian yang dimilikinya, Sangkuriang lalu mengerahkan teman-temannya dari bangsa jin untuk membantu menyelesaikan tugasnya tersebut. Diam-diam, Dayang Sumbi mengintip hasil kerja dari Sangkuriang. Betapa terkejutnya dia, karena Sangkuriang hampir menyelesaiklan semua syarat yang diberikan Dayang Sumbi sebelum fajar.

    Dayang Sumbi lalu meminta bantuan masyarakat sekitar untuk menggelar kain sutera berwarna merah di sebelah timur kota. Ketika melihat warna memerah di timur kota, Sangkuriang mengira kalau hari sudah menjelang pagi. Sangkuriang langsung menghentikan pekerjaannya dan merasa tidak dapat memenuhi syarat yang telah diajukan oleh Dayang Sumbi.

    Dengan rasa jengkel dan kecewa, Sangkuriang lalu menjebol bendungan yang telah dibuatnya sendiri. Karena jebolnya bendungan itu, maka terjadilah banjir dan seluruh kota terendam air. Sangkuriang juga menendang sampan besar yang telah dibuatnya. Sampan itu melayang dan jatuh tertelungkup, lalu menjadi sebuah gunung yang bernama Tangkuban Perahu.

Dengan hanya berbekal sebuah kail, umpan dan tempat ikan, ia pun langsung menuju ke sungai. Setelah sesampainya di sungai, petani tersebut langsung melemparkan kailnya. Sambil menunggu kailnya dimakan ikan, petani tersebut berdoa,“Ya Alloh, semoga aku dapat ikan banyak hari ini”. Beberapa saat setelah berdoa, kail yang dilemparkannya tadi nampak bergoyang-goyang. Ia segera menarik kailnya. Petani tersebut sangat senang sekali, karena ikan yang didapatkannya sangat besar dan cantik sekali.

Biarkan aku hidup”, teriak ikan itu. Tanpa banyak Tanya, ikan tangkapannya itu langsung dikembalikan ke dalam air lagi. Setelah mengembalikan ikan ke dalam air, petani itu bertambah terkejut, karena tiba-tiba ikan tersebut berubah menjadi seorang wanita yang sangat cantik.

Bukankah kamu seekor ikan?, Tanya petani itu. “Aku adalah seorang putri yang dikutuk, karena melanggar aturan kerajaan”, jawab wanita itu. “Terimakasih engkau sudah membebaskan aku dari kutukan itu, dan sebagai imbalannya aku bersedia kau jadikan istri”, kata wanita itu. Petani itupun setuju. Maka jadilah mereka sebagai suami istri. Namun, ada satu janji yang telah disepakati, yaitu mereka tidak boleh menceritakan bahwa asal-usul Puteri dari seekor ikan.

Pergilah ke sana dan mintalah supaya dia mau memberi sedikit hartanya.”

Setelah mendengar maksud kedatangan Sidi Mantra, Naga Besukih menggeliat dan dari sisiknya keluar emas dan intan. Setelah mengucapkan terima kasih, Sidi Mantra mohon diri. Semua harta benda yang didapatnya diberikan kepada Manik Angkeran dengan harapan dia tidak akan berjudi lagi. Tetapi tidak pada kenyataannya harta itu habis dengan sangat cepat. Sekali lagi Manik Angkeran meminta bantuan ayahnya. Tetapi, Sidi Mantra kecewa dan menolaknya.

Tidak lama kemudian, Manik Angkeran tahu bahwa harta tersebut didapat dari Gunung Agung.

Ingatlah akan hukum karma.”

Karena ingin harta lebih banyak,maka dipotongnya ekor Naga Besukih ketika Naga beputar akan kembali ke sarangnya. Manik Angkeran segera melarikan diri ketakutan. Tetapi karena kesaktian Naga, sewaktu jejak Manik Angkeran dijilat sang Naga, maka ia terbakar menjadi abu.

    Melihat kematian anaknya, Sidi Mantra pun menjadi sangat sedih. Ia pun segera mencari Naga Besukih dan memohon supaya anaknya dapat hidup kembali. Naga Besukih mengabulkan permohonan tersebut dengan syarat Sidi Mantra mau mengembalikan ekor Naga Besukih seperti sediakala. Lalu dengan kesaktian, Sidi Mantra ekor Naga kembali seperti semula. Setelah Manik Angkeran dihidupkan, dia minta maaf dan berjanji tidak akan mengulangi nya lagi. Sidi Mantra tahu bahwa anaknya sudah bertobat tetapi dia memutuskan untuk tidak hidup bersama lagi.

"Terkadang bukit itu menyebabkan gempa bumi sehingga sering terjadi longsor dan membahayakan orang yang kebetulan lewat dibawahnya," tambah yang lainnya. "Sejak kapan kejadian itu?" Tanya Sultan Meurah. "Sudah lama Tuanku, menjelang Ayahanda Tuanku mangkat," jelas yang lain.

    Sesampai di istana Sultan memanggil sahabatnya Renggali, adik dari Raja Linge Mude. "Dari dulu aku heran dengan bukit di Lamnyong itu," kata Sultan Meurah. "Mengapa ada bukit memanjang disana padahal disekitarnya rawa-rawa yang selalu berair," sambung Sultan Meurah. "Menurut cerita orang tua, bukit itu tiba-tiba muncul pada suatu malam," jelas Renggali, "abang hamba, Raja Linge Mude, curiga akan bukit itu saat pertama sekali ke Kuta Raja, seolah-olah bukit itu mamanggilnya," tambahnya. "Cobalah engkau cari tahu ada apa sebenarnya dengan bukit itu!" Perintah Sultan.

    Maka berangkatlah Renggali menuju bukit itu, dia menelusuri setiap jengkal dan sisi bukit tersebut, mulai dari pinggir laut di utara sampai ke kesisi selatan, "bukit yang aneh, "bisik Renggali dalam hati. Kemudian dia mendaki bagian yg lebih tinggi dan berdiri di atasnya, tiba-tiba dari bagian di bawah kakinya mengalir air yang hangat. Renggali kaget dan melompat kebawah sambil berguling.

Air yg mengalir semakin banyak dari bukit itu membasahi kakinya, "hamba naga sahabat ayahmu," terdengar jawaban dari bukit itu dikuti suara gemuruh.

    Renggali sangat kaget dan di perhatikan dengan seksama bukit itu yang berbentuk kepala ular raksasa walaupun di penuhi semak belukar dan pepohonan. "Engkaukah itu? Lalu di mana ayahku? Tanya Renggali. Air yang mengalir semakin banyak dan menggenangi kaki Renggali. "Panggilah Sultan Alam, hamba akan buat pengakuan!" Isak bukit tersebut. Maka buru-buru Renggali pergi dari tempat aneh tersebut. Sampai di istana hari sudah gelap, Renggali menceritakan kejadian aneh tersebut kepada Sultan.

    "Itukah Naga Hijau yang menghilang bersama ayahmu?" Tanya Sultan Meurah penasaran. "Mengapa dia ingin menemui ayahku, apakah dia belum tahu Sultan sudah mangkat?" tambah Sultan Meurah. Maka berangkatlah mereka berdua ke bukit itu, sesampai disana tiba-tiba bukit itu bergemuruh. "Mengapa Sultan Alam tidak datang?" Suara dari bukit. "Beliau sudah lama mangkat, sudah lama sekali, mengapa keadaanmu seperti ini Naga Hijau? Kami mengira engkau telah kembali ke negeri mu, lalu dimana Raja Linge?" Tanya Sultan Meurah. Bukit itu begemuruh keras sehingga membuat ketakutan orang-orang tinggal dekat bukit itu.

    "Hukumlah hamba Sultan Meurah," pinta bukit itu. "Hamba sudah berkhianat, hamba pantas dihukum," lanjutnya. "Hamba sudah mencuri dan menghabiskan kerbau putih hadiah dari Tuan Tapa untuk Sultan Alam yang diamanahkan kepada kami dan hamba sudah membunuh Raja Linge," jelasnya. Tubuh Renggali bergetar mendengar penjelasan Naga Hijau, "bagaimana bisa kamu membunuh sahabatmu sendiri?" Tanya Renggali.

  84. "Awalnya hamba diperintah oleh Sultan Alam untuk mengantar hadiah berupa pedang kepada sahabat-sahabatnya, semua sudah sampai hingga tinggal 2 bilah pedang untuk Raja Linge dan Tuan Tapa, maka hamba mengunjungi Raja Linge terlebih dahulu, beliau juga berniat ke tempat Tuan Tapa untuk mengambil obat istrinya, sesampai di sana Tuan Tapa menitipkan 6 ekor kerbau putih untuk Sultan Alam, kerbaunya besar dan gemuk.

    Karena ada amanah dari Tuan Tapa maka Raja Linge memutuskan ikut mengantarkan ke Kuta Raja, karena itu kami kembali ke Linge untuk mengantar obat istrinya. Namun di sepanjang jalan hamba tergiur ingin menyantap daging kerbau putih tersebut maka hamba mencuri 2 ekor kerbau tersebut dan hamba menyantapnya, Raja Linge panik dan mencari pencurinya lalu hamba memfitnah Kule si raja harimau sebagai pencurinya, lalu Raja Linge membunuhnya.

    Dalam perjalanan dari Linge ke Kuta Raja kami beristirahat di tepi sungai Peusangan dan terbit lagi selera hamba untuk melahap kerbau yang lezat itu, lalu hamba mencuri 2 ekor lagi, Raja Linge marah besar lalu hamba memfitnah Buya si raja buaya sebagai pencurinya maka dibunuhlah buaya itu. Saat akan masuk Kuta Raja, Raja Linge membersihkan diri dan bersalin pakaian ditepi sungai, lalu hamba mencuri 2 ekor kerbau dan menyantapnya tetapi kali ini Raja Linge mengetahuinya lalu kami bertengkar dan berkelahi, Raja Linge memiliki kesempatan membunuh hamba tetapi dia tidak melakukannya sehingga hamba lah yang membunuhnya," cerita naga sambil berurai air mata.

    "Maafkanlah hamba, hukumlah hamba!" terdengar isak tangis sang naga. Mengapa engkau terjebak disini?" Tanya Sultan Meurah. "Raja Linge menusukkan pedangnya ke bagian tubuh hamba sehingga lumpuhlah tubuh hamba kemudian terjatuh dan menindihnya, sebuah pukulan Raja Linge ke tanah membuat tanah terbelah dan hamba tertimbun di sini bersamanya," jelas sang naga.

    "Hamba menerima keadaan ini, biarlah hamba mati dan terkubur bersama sahabat hamba," pinta Naga Hijau. "Berilah dia hukuman Renggali, engkau dan abangmu lebih berhak menghukumnya," kata Sultan Meurah. "Ayah hamba tidak ingin membunuhnya, apalagi hamba, hamba akan membebaskannya," jawab Renggali. "Tidak! Hamba ingin di hukum sesuai dengan perbuatan hamba," pinta Naga Hijau. "Kalau begitu bebaskanlah dia!" Perintah Sultan Meurah.

  85. Maka berjalanlah mereka berdua mengelilingi tubuh naga untuk mencari pedang milik Raja Linge, setelah menemukannya, Renggali menarik dengan kuat dan terlepaslah pedang tersebut namun Naga Hijau tetap tidak mau bergerak. "Hukumlah hamba Sultan Meurah!" Pinta Naga Hijau. "Sudah cukup hukuman yang kamu terima dari Raja Linge, putranya sudah membebaskanmu, pergilah ke negerimu!" Perintah Sultan Meurah.

    Sambil menangis naga tersebut menggeser tubuhnya dan perlahan menuju laut. Maka terbentuklah sebuah alur atau sungai kecil akibat pergerakan naga tersebut. Maka di kemudian hari daerah di pinggiran Kuta Raja itu disebut Alue Naga, disana terdapat sebuah sungai kecil yang disekitarnya di penuhi rawa-rawa yang selalu tergenang dari air mata penyesalan seekor naga yang telah mengkhianati sahabatnya.

  87. Teman Sejati

    Pada suatu hari di masa lau, ada dua orang berteman dekat yang berjalan melewati hutan bersama-sama. Mereka tahu bahwa di hutan bisa saja terjadi sesuatu yang berbahaya setiap saat. Oleh karena itu, dari awal mereka saling berjanji bahwa mereka akan selalu bersama-sama meski dalam keadaan bahaya sekalipun.

    Tiba-tiba, mereka melihat ada beruang besar yang semakin mendekat ke arah mereka. Kemudian seketika salah satu dari mereka memanjat pohon terdekat. Tetapi sayangnya teman yang satu lagi tidak tahu bagaimana caranya memanjat pohon. Jadi dia hanya terdorong oleh akal sehatnya, kemudian ia berbaring di tanah, menahan napasnya, dan berpura-pura menjadi orang yang sudah mati.

    Kemudian beruang itu datang dan mendekati orang yang sedang berbaring di tanah tersebut. Beruang itu pun mencium-cium telinganya, dan perlahan-lahan meninggalkan tempat tersebut karena beruang tidak mau menyentuh makhluk yang sudah mati. Setelah itu, temannya yang di pohon turun ke bawah dan bertanya kepada temannya yang berbaring di tanah itu, “Teman, apa yang beruang bisikkan ke telingamu?”, si temannya itu menjawab, “Tadi beruang itu mengatakan kepada saya untuk tidak percaya terhadap teman palsu”.

  88. Fox and A Cat

    One day, a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who was a conceited creature, boasted how clever she was. “Why, I know at least a hundred tricks to get away from our mutual enemies, the dogs,” she said.

    “I know only one trick to get away from dogs,” said the cat. “You should teach me some of yours!”.

    “Well, maybe someday, when I have the time, I may teach you a few of the simpler ones”, replied the fox airily.

    Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance. The barking grew louder and louder – the dogs were coming in their direction! At once the cat ran to the nearest tree and climbed into its branches, well out of reach of any dog. “This is the trick I told you about, the only one I know”, said the cat. “Which one of your hundred tricks are you going to use?”.

    The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use. Before she could make up her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the fox and tore her to pieces.

    Moral: A single plan that works is better than a hundred doubtful plans.

Seketika si kucing berlari ke pohon yang paling dekat dan kemudian naik ke cabang-cabangnya, dan di luar jangkauan anjing. “Ini adalah trik yang aku katakan tadi, satu-satunya yang aku tahu”, kata si kucing. “Mana salah satu dari seratus trikmu yang akan kamu gunakan?”.

  90. The Fox and The Grapes

    One afternoon there was a fox that was walking through the forest and spotted a bunch of grapes hanging from over a lofty branch. “Just the thing to quench my thirst,” quoted the fox. Taking a few steps backward, the fox jumped but unfortunately he missed the hanging grapes. Again the fox took a few paces backward, ran, and tried to reach them but he still failed.

  91. The Ant and the Dove

    One hot day, an ant was seeking for some water. After walking around for a moment, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell unintentionally into the water.

    She could have sunk if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her. Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly put off a leaf from a tree and dropped it immediately into the water near the struggling ant. Then the ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up there. Soon it carried her safely to dry ground.

    Not long after at that, there was a hunter nearby who was throwing out his net towards the dove, hoping to trap it in this way.

    Guessing what he should do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter dropped his net and the dove flew away quickly from this net.

    Semut dan Merpati

    Suatu hari yang panas, seekor semut sedang mencari air. Setelah beberapa saat berkeliling, dia sampai ke sebuah mata air. Untuk mencapai mata air itu, dia harus memanjat rumput terlebih dahulu. Saat dia memanjat ke atas, dia terpeleset dan secara tidak sengaja jatuh ke dalam air.

    Dia mungkin bisa saja tenggelam jika burung merpati yang sedang di atas pohon di dekatnya itu tidak melihatnya. Karena melihat si semut sedang dalam kesulitan, burung merpati pun cepat memetik daun dari pohon dan langsung menjatuhkannya ke dalam air dekat si semut yang mencoba menyelamatkan diri itu. Kemudian si semut pun bergerak menuju daun dan kemudian naik ke atasnya. Daun itu membawanya ke darat dengan selamat.

    Tidak lama kemudian, ada seorang pemburu yang membuang jaring ke arah burung merpati, berharap dengan cara ini bisa menjebak si burung merpati.

    Berpikir sejenak tentang apa yang harus dia lakukan, kemudian semut cepat menggigit tumit orang tersebut. Karena merasa sakit, si pemburu akhirnya menjatuhkan jaringnya dan kemudian burung merpati terbang keluar dari jaring tersebut dengan cepat.

    Pesan Moral: Satu perbuatan baik layak mendapat kebaikan yang lain.

  96. Putri Salju

    Pada suatu hari, ada seorang Ratu yang sedang duduk di balik jendela yang sangat indah sambil menjahit dan melihat salju yang turun. Secara tidak sengaja, jarinya tertusuk oleh jarum jahit hingga mengeluarkan tiga tetes darah dari jarinya. Darah tersebut jatuh di atas salju, dan warna merah pun menempel di atas salju yang putih, sehingga terlihat sangat cantik. Ratu pun berpikir “’Andai saja aku punya anak dengan kulit seputih salju dan bibir semerah darah”.

    Beberapa waktu kemudian, akhirnya Ratu pun melahirkan seorang Putri yang sangat cantik jelita yang memiliki kulit seputih salju dan bibir merah semerah darah. Sang putri pun tumbuh menjadi gadis yang sangat cantik dan juga baik hati. Ia kemudian dipanggil dengan nama Putri Salju.

    Setiap hari Sang Ratu berdiri di depan cermin ajaib sambil bertanya “Siapa wanita paling cantik di negeri ini?” dan cermin ajaib itupun selalu menjawab “Anda adalah yang paling cantik di antara semuanya”. Sang Ratu yang baru itu mengajukan pertanyaan yang sama setiap hari dan si cermin pun selalu menjawab dengan jawaban yang sama. Tapi suatu hari cermin menjawab bahwa Ratu itu sangat cantik tetapi Putri Salju jauh lebih cantik dari Sang Ratu. Hal itu membuat Sang Ratu begitu marah sehingga ia memerintahkan salah satu pemburu untuk membawa Putri Salju ke hutan dan langsung membunuhnya.

    Ternyata sang pemburu adalah seseorang yang baik hati sehingga ia tidak bisa melakukan perbuatan tersebut. Ia menyarankan kepada Sang Putri Salju untuk kabur. Dalam pelariannya ke hutan, ia menemukan tempat di mana terdapat tujuh kurcaci tinggal. Tempat tinggal mereka sangat kecil dan aneh. Sang Putri Salju memasuki rumah kecil tersebut dan tempat itu begitu berantakan. Kemudian, ia mulai membersihkan seluruh rumah itu. Di lantai atas ia menemukan tujuh tempat tidur kecil-kecil. Ia begitu letih sehingga ia pun berbaring di salah satu tempat tidur tersebut. Tidak lama setelah itu, ia pun tertidur di tempat tidur itu.

    Ketika Kurcaci pulang, mereka terkejut menemukan Putri Salju, dan setelah berdialog, mereka memutuskan untuk membiarkan ia tinggal di sana. Dia berjanji untuk memasak dan merawat mereka. Ia tinggal bersama di sana dengan bahagia.

    Sayangnya, Sang Ratu menemukan tempat di mana Putri Salju tinggal dan kemudian dirinya menyamar menjadi seorang penyihir. Kemudian ia mengambil apel beracun dan pergi ke rumah Sang Kurcaci.

Suatu hari, ia mendapat ide untuk membuat boneka agar tidak merasa kesepian lagi. Dia kemudian membuat boneka kayu itu sepanjang hari. Akhirnya, di pagi hari ia selesai membuatnya dan boneka itu dia beri nama Pinocchio. Setelah itu, ia merasa kesepian lagi karena Pinocchio tidak bisa berbicara bahkan berjalan sekali pun.

Ketika ia mencari Pinnochio di laut, gelombang besar menghempaskan dirinya. Dia kemudian berada di perut ikan paus, dan ketika ia terbangun, dia tidak bisa menemukan cara untuk keluar dari perut ikan paus tersebut.

  102. Singa dan Tikus

    Pada saat ia terbangun oleh tikus kecil yang berjalan di tubuhnya, singa perkasa itu sedang tertidur di sarangnya. Kemudian Singa itu menangkap tikus yang sedang ketakutan dengan cakar besar dan sekaligus membuka mulutnya untuk menelannya langsung. “Tolong, Raja”, kata tikus, “Bebaskan saya kali ini dan tentu saja saya tidak akan pernah melupakan kebaikan mu, suatu hari nanti aku mungkin bisa membayar kebaikanmu ini”. Singa pun berpikir bahwa itu adalah hal yang baik sehingga ia membiarkan makhluk lemah itu pergi dari cengkeramannya.

    Beberapa waktu kemudian singa itu terperangkap dalam jaring yang diletakkan oleh beberapa pemburu. Meskipun memiliki kekuatan yang besar, singa tersebut tetap tidak bisa membebaskan dirinya. Kemudian hutan pun bergema dengan auman singa yang sedang marah tersebut.

    Tikus kecil mendengar auman singa tersebut dan kemudian berlari untuk melihat apa yang sedang terjadi. Begitu si tikus kecil berhasil membuat singa bebas, “Itulah!” kata tikus dengan perasaan bangganya, “Engkau tertawa padaku saat aku berjanji untuk membalas kebaikanmu, tetapi sekarang engkau tahu bahwa meski hanya tikus kecil tapi bisa membantu singa yang perkasa untuk bebas dari perangkap”.

    Nilai moral:

    Teman yang kecil atau lemah sekalipun bisa menjadi teman yang sangat luar biasa.
    Teman yang membutuhkan adalah arti dari teman yang sebenarnya.

I will never be content until I find her!” So the ministers tried the slipper on the foot of every girl in the land until only Cinderella was left.
