The Clever Mouse Deer and the Crocodiles
In a peaceful rural village near a wide river, lived a clever animal named Kancil, the mouse deer. One hot day, Kancil was very thirsty and wanted to drink from the river on the other side. However, the river was full of dangerous crocodiles waiting to catch him.
Kancil sat under a banana tree and thought hard. “How can I cross the river without becoming lunch for the crocodiles?” he wondered. Then, he had a brilliant idea.
He shouted to the crocodiles, “Hey Crocodiles! The King of the Jungle has sent me to count how many crocodiles live in this river. He wants to give a reward to all of you!”
The crocodiles were excited and quickly lined up from one side of the river to the other. Kancil thanked them and began to “count” by stepping on each one’s back:
“One... two... three...”
He continued until he reached the other side safely. Once he was across, he laughed and said, “Thank you, Crocodiles! I just needed to cross the river, not count you!”
The crocodiles were angry, but it was too late—Kancil had already escaped.

The trick
Example
Title : The Clever Rabbit and the Forest Tiger
Setting : A forest
Animal : A rabbit
The Trick : Pretends to have a magical power
Once upon a time, there was a clever rabbit who lived deep in the jungle. One day, he needed to get across a wide river to reach a new berry patch, but the only path was guarded by two hungry tigers.
The Tiger growled, “You cannot pass, little rabbit. We are the kings of the forest!”
The rabbit thought quickly. “Ah, but I am no ordinary rabbit. I have magical powers!” he said confidently.
The tigers were curious. “Magical powers? Show us, then!”
The rabbit grinned. “I have the power to summon a huge flood that will fill this forest and sweep away anyone who stands in my way!”
The tigers laughed. “A rabbit with magical powers? You must be joking.”
“No,” said the rabbit, “if you don’t let me pass, I will call upon the mighty flood right now!”
The tigers were unsure. “Well, we don’t want to be swept away,” they said nervously.
With that, the rabbit hopped past the tigers, across the river, and into the berry patch, leaving the tigers standing in the forest, too scared to follow.
Dahulu kala, ada seekor kelinci pintar yang tinggal jauh di dalam hutan. Suatu hari, ia harus menyeberangi sungai yang lebar untuk mencapai ladang beri baru, tetapi satu-satunya jalan dijaga oleh dua harimau yang lapar. Harimau itu menggeram, "Kau tidak bisa lewat, kelinci kecil. Kami adalah raja hutan!" Kelinci berpikir cepat. "Ah, tapi aku bukan kelinci biasa. Aku punya kekuatan ajaib!" katanya dengan percaya diri. Harimau-harimau itu penasaran. "Kekuatan ajaib? Tunjukkan pada kami, kalau begitu!" Kelinci itu menyeringai. "Aku punya kekuatan untuk memanggil banjir besar yang akan memenuhi hutan ini dan menyapu siapa pun yang menghalangi jalanku!" Harimau-harimau itu tertawa. "Seekor kelinci dengan kekuatan ajaib? Kau pasti bercanda." "Tidak," kata kelinci, "jika kau tidak membiarkanku lewat, aku akan memanggil banjir besar sekarang juga!" Harimau-harimau itu tidak yakin. "Yah, kami tidak ingin hanyut," kata mereka dengan gugup. Dengan itu, si kelinci melompat melewati harimau-harimau itu, menyeberangi sungai, dan memasuki perkebunan beri, meninggalkan harimau-harimau itu berdiri di hutan, terlalu takut untuk mengikutinya.
Moral : Cleverness and confidence can sometimes be just as powerful as strength.
Moral : Kecerdasan dan kepercayaan diri kadang-kadang sama kuatnya dengan kekuatan.
