It wanted to lay under the sun, near the river. After it did sunbathing, it felt hungry. It imagined if there was its favaorite food i.e. cucumber. It looked around the river and it found a cucumber field. That was Mr. Farmer’s field. The cucumber seemed very delicious. However, the ucumber field was accross the river. It wondered how it could cross the river. It thought the way to get there. Then, it suddenly jumped cheerfully and shouted.
“Hey, the crocodiles, come out! Come on, guys. I have delicious food for you all!”
After the mouse deer said that, the crocdiles which lived under the river came out and stared at the mouse deer. Then, the mouse deer shouted once more.
“The crocodiles, do you want fresh meat?” the mouse deer offered.
The leader of the crocodiles responded, “Hey, who’s shouting there? Who did annoy us just now?”
“It’s me. The mouse deer.” It answered.
“Shut up, you, mouse deer. You annoyed us. It’s our sleeping time. Go away or we will eat you instead.” The crocodile said.
But, the mouse deer was still persistent to call the crocodile, “I am so sorry if I annoyed you, my friends. Please, listen to me. I have fresh meat for you.”
“You want to say that you bring yourself here to be our lunch? Hmm… you are so kind. You looked delicious. Fortunately, we haven’t had breakfast.” The crocodile responded.
“Oh it’s not like you thought, my friend. I already prepared some foods. I need to cross this river to share it with you. I put it there. Besides, I need to count all of you to share it.” The mouse deer said.
“Wow. That’s great, my tiny friend. So, what should we do for you?” The crocodile said.
The mouse deer told the crocodiles how to do it, “It’s easy. You only need to make a row until I can cross the river. I will be walking on your back and counting.”
Without thinking any longer, the crocodiles did what the mouse deer told. The crocodiles made a row until the other side of the river. They looked like a bridge on the river.
Then, the mouse deer started to count, “One, two, three, four,….”
The mouse deer counted until the last crocodile and it was successful to cross the river. It laughed and said something in its mind “Hahaha. It’s so easy. Easier than I thought.”
When it arrived at the other river side, it said something to the crocodiles which already helped it.
“Hey, the crocodiles, actually there’s no food that I want to share with you. Don’t you see that there’s no food here and I don’t bring any food in my hand? I only want to cross the river and I need a bridge to pass by. I would like to say thanks for you because you already helped me, my friends. I am sorry if you feel annoyed.”
The crocodiles were shocked and disappointed because the mouse deer tricked them.
“Oh, it’s bad. You are so naughty mouse deer. You tricked us. Watch out. We will eat you if we meet you again.”
The crocodiles were angry. On the other hand, the mouse deer didn’t hear what the crocodiles said. The mouse deer ran away to Mr. Farmer’s field to look for the cucumber.
The end.

Sang Kancil and the Farmer[edit]
One day, Sang Kancil is trying to steal cucumbers from a farmer's field. The first time, he steals some cucumbers successfully. He then encounters a scarecrow, and he mocks it because it cannot scare him. He kicks the scarecrow with his front leg, but his front leg gets stuck in the scarecrow, which has been filled with glue by the farmer. He tries to pull out his leg, but in vain as the glue is too strong for him to pull out his leg. Later, the farmer comes and laughs at Sang Kancil, who has been trapped by the glue on the scarecrow. He then puts him inside a cage for the rest of the day. Later that night, the farmer's dog comes to see Sang Kancil. He mocks him and said that he will be cooked the next morning. Sang Kancil stays calm and relaxed. The dog got confused and asks him why. He said, 'You are wrong, I'm not going to be cooked! I'm going to be a prince!' The dog becomes more confused. 'I’ll marry the farmer's daughter and I will become a prince. I feel sorry for you, all of your loyalties were paid just like this! You just become a dog! Look at me! Tomorrow, I'll become a prince!' said Sang Kancil proudly. The dog, who felt discriminated against by his own master, asks him to switch place. He thinks that by switching place with Sang Kancil, he will become a prince instead. So he opens the cage and lets him free. The next morning, the farmer is confused, because he does not see him anywhere; instead, he sees his own dog in the cage, wagging his tail.
Sang Kancil and the Elephant[edit]
One day, Sang Kancil is trapped inside a hole made by some hunters. He screamed for help but no one heard him. He thought it was hopeless for him to escape from the trap. He waited for while until an elephant came. Then, he had an idea. He said, 'Hurry, come down here! Come down and seek shelter with me because the sky is falling!' The elephant, confused yet terrified, foolishly followed his order and jumped down into the hole. Sang Kancil quickly hopped onto the elephant's body and then jumped out of the hole, leaving the elephant trapped in the hole.
Sang Kancil and the Crocodiles[edit]
One day, Sang Kancil wants to cross a river, but however, the river is full of hungry crocodiles. The crocodiles might eat him if he crosses the river. Eventually, Sang Kancil had an idea. He told the crocodiles, 'You cannot eat me unless you make a row!' One of the crocodiles replied, “Why must we do that?” Sang Kancil replied, 'The King (sometimes referred to as King Sulaiman) wants to make a party and he wants me to count all the animals in the jungle.” Believing in what he said, the crocodiles followed his order and formed a row of between the two sides of the river. He then quickly hops from one crocodile to another until he reaches the other side of the river, leaving the crocodiles far behind, angry.
Sang Kancil and the Tiger[edit]
One day, Sang Kancil was drinking on the river, when a tiger suddenly came who wanted to eat him. Sang Kancil tried to escape, but the tiger was faster than he was. Cornered by the tiger, he thought of how to escape. The tiger, who thought Sang Kancil praised the him, forgotten to eat Sang Kancil. Then he said to the tiger, 'Your mightiness and toughness are very great, but my king has a greater strength than yours! Nobody can match his!' Feeling taunted, the tiger declared he would challenge this “king”. He led the tiger to the river and told him, 'Look at the water and you will see my king.' The tiger looked into the river and thought saw another tiger in the water. He growled, but the 'king', his reflection, growled too. Then he jumped into the water, believing there was another tiger there. Sang Kancil took his opportunity to escape. After fighting with his own reflection in the river, the tiger realized it was only his reflection. Fooled by Sang Kancil, the tiger wanted revenge and continues to hunt him down to this day.
