1. Mawar yang Sombong (The Proud Rose)
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful rose plant in the garden. The rose in the garden was very proud of its beauty. However, it was disappointed that it was growing next to an ugly cactus.
Every day, the rose would insult the cactus about its appearance, but the cactus remained silent.
All the other plants in the garden tried to stop the rose from insulting the cactus, but the rose was too haughty by its own beauty to listen to anyone.
One summer, a well in the garden dried up and there was no water for the plants. The rose slowly began to wilt.
She saw a sparrow dipping its beak into the cactus in search of water. She then felt ashamed for making fun of the cactus all these years. But since it needed water, it asked the cactus if it could have water.
The kind cactus agreed, and the two of them spent the summer as friends.
2. Singa Serakah (The Greedy Lion)
On a hot day, a lion in the jungle starts to feel hungry. He started hunting for his food when he found a hare wandering alone. Instead of catching the rabbit, the lion let it go.
"A little rabbit like this can't satisfy my hunger", he said and scoffed. Then, a beautiful deer passed by and he decided to devour it.
He ran and ran behind the deer but because he was weak from hunger, he could not reach it.
The lion went back to look for the rabbit to fill his stomach for now, but the rabbit was gone. The lion was sad and remained hungry for a long time.
