An old man and his sons

(Narrative teks dan artinya II) 

An old man had three sons who could not live at peace among themselves. The old man had tried every way to make them love one another, but all was in vain. At last he thought out a plan.

He showed them a bundle of arrows which were tied together. “Try to break the bundle!” said the old man. All of them tried one after another, but no one could break it.

Then the old man untied the bundle. He gave his sons each an arrow, and said, “Try to break it now.”

The single arrow was easily broken one by one.

“My sons,” said the old man, “you have learned a good lesson from these arrows. If you cannot live at peace, you are very weak like a single arrow. But if you love one another, you are very strong like the bundle of arrows.”

Dia menunjukkan beberapa anak panah yang diikat dalam satu ikatan “Coba kalian patahkan ini!” kata kakek tersebut. Ketiga putranya memcoba untuk mematahkannya tapi tak satupun yang berhasil.

Kemudian kakek itu membuka ikatan anak panah tersebut dan memberikan masing-masing satu anak panah pada ketiga putranya dan berkata, “Sekarang coba kali patahkan anak panah tersebut.” Satu anak panah sangat mudah dipatahkan oleh setiap putranya.

“Anak-anakku,” kata kakek itu “Kamu telah mendapat pelajaran baik dari anak panah ini. Jika kamu tidak bisa berdamai (selalu bertengkar) kamu akan menjadi lemah seperti sebuah anak panah (yang mudah dipatahkan). Tapi jika kamu saling menyayangi maka kamu akan menjadi kuat seperti seikat anak panah.

Once there was a young fisherman who live on Pulau Hantu. His home on the northern shore of the island was made of dried palm leaves, and he found it very comfortable. Though he was often lonely.

The mermaid and the fishermen story

Each morning the young fisherman went fishing, and then he took his fish  to Singapore where he would sell them in the market. One morning when he was pulling in his nets, he heard someone crying. He looked down into the water and saw that he had caught a mermaid!

The young fisherman quickly pulled his net into the boat. “Let me go.” Cried the mermaid. “Let me go.”

The fisherman was too surprised to move. “What are you doing here?” he asked.

“I am on my way home to my father’s kingdom beneath the sea. I had stopped a moment to look at those island over there when you caught me.”

“Do you like the island?” asked the fisherman. “I live on one of them myself.”

“They are beautiful. But don’t you ever get lonely? There can’t be many smiled people on the island.”

The fisherman smiled. “Yes I do sometimes get lonely,” he said. “But my work keeps me busy,”

“Tell me about it.”

“Well, there isn’t much to tell. I catch fish, and then I sell them in the market. Then I take my boat and go home.”

“Do you always catch so many fish?” asked the mermaid. Looking at the many fish in the nets.

“Not always. In fact, some morning I don’t catch any.”

As the mermaid listened to the fisherman. She felt in love with him. Soon she wished to marry him and live with him on the island, and so, the mermaid and the fisherman were married.

They were very happy. She helped him by swimming ahead of his boat and telling him where the best fish were. She cooked for him and helped him repair his nets. The young fisherman was a good husband. He worked hard and soon he was able to buy a fine new boat.

One evening the mermaid said to the fisherman. “If you are ever lost at sea, I shall ask the gods to turn me into a bird. Then I shall fly all over the earth to look for you.”

“Don’t worry,” said the fisherman. “I’m sure nothing like that will happen.”

The fisherman was wrong. One day a terrible storm came to the sea near the island while he was out in his boat. The mermaid, who was at home, prayed that he would come home safely. She prayed and waited for several days, and she became very ill. “Gods of the sea and the earth,” she prayed. “change me into a bird,” soon she died, and the gods granted her wish; they changes her into a bird so she could look for her lost husband.

He looked all over the island for her without success. Then he sat down to wait. The days of waiting turned into weeks and the weeks into years. The fisherman grew old and sad, waiting for his wife to come home.

Then one day a white seagull flew over the fisherman’s house. The seagull cried out, but the fisherman didn’t hear it because he was dreaming of his mermaid. A few hours later. He died.

When the fisherman died. The gods of the sea and the earth turned him into a seagull. He flew joy fully to his wife, and together they flew away.
