The Ducks and The Tortoise

Englishstory12 – “Take me with you, please,” called a tortoise to a gray duck and a white duck that were flying over.

The ducks heard the tortoise and flew down toward him.

“Do you really wish to go with us?” asked the ducks as they came to the ground near the tortoise.

“I surely do,” replied the tortoise. “Will you please take me?”

“Why, yes, I think we can do so,” said the white duck slowly.

The two ducks talked together in low tones for a few minutes. Then they flew to the woods. They soon brought back a strong twig and dropped it in front of the tortoise.

“Now,” said the ducks, “if we take you off to see the world, you must promise us one thing.”

“What is that?” asked the tortoise. “I will promise almost anything if you will let me go.”

“You must promise not to say one word while you are in the air, NOT ONE WORD,” replied the ducks.

“All right, I promise,” said the tortoise. “Sometimes I do not say a word for a whole day because there is no one to listen to me.”

“Well, take firm hold of the middle of the twig; we are ready to start,” said the gray duck.

“If you value your life, you must hold on tightly,” said the white duck.

The tortoise took hold of the middle of the twig and each duck took hold of one end.

Then they flew up! up! up! while the tortoise swung from the middle of the twig. How he enjoyed it! He had never had such a ride.

They had gone a long way safely when they came to a hayfield. The haymakers looked up and saw the ducks and the tortoise.

“Ho! ho! the tortoise has stolen some wings,” called one of the haymakers.

“What a queer carriage he has!” laughed another in a loud voice.

“I pity his horses,” said another.

This made the tortoise so angry that he cried out, “You–” but no one knows what he was going to say, for he fell to the ground and was killed.

Bebek dan Kura-kura

Englishstory12 – “Tolong bawa aku bersamamu,” panggil seekor kura-kura kepada seekor bebek abu-abu dan seekor bebek putih yang terbang di atasnya.

Bebek-bebek itu mendengar suara kura-kura dan terbang ke arahnya.

“Apakah kau benar-benar ingin pergi bersama kami?” tanya bebek-bebek itu saat mereka sampai di tanah dekat kura-kura.

“Tentu saja,” jawab kura-kura. “Maukah kau membawaku?”

“Ya, kurasa kami bisa melakukannya,” kata bebek putih perlahan.

Kedua bebek itu berbicara bersama dengan nada rendah selama beberapa menit. Kemudian mereka terbang ke hutan. Mereka segera membawa kembali ranting yang kuat dan menjatuhkannya di depan kura-kura.

“Sekarang,” kata bebek-bebek itu, “jika kami membawamu pergi melihat dunia, kau harus berjanji pada kami satu hal.”

“Apa itu?” tanya kura-kura. “Aku akan menjanjikan apa saja jika kau mengizinkanku pergi.”

“Kalian harus berjanji untuk tidak mengucapkan sepatah kata pun saat berada di udara, TAK SATU KATA PUN,” jawab bebek-bebek.

“Baiklah, aku janji,” kata kura-kura. “Kadang-kadang aku tidak mengucapkan sepatah kata pun selama seharian karena tidak ada yang mendengarkanku.”

“Baiklah, pegang erat-erat bagian tengah ranting itu; kita siap berangkat,” kata bebek abu-abu.

“Jika kalian menghargai hidup kalian, kalian harus berpegangan erat,” kata bebek putih.

Kura-kura memegang bagian tengah ranting dan setiap bebek memegang salah satu ujungnya.

Kemudian mereka terbang ke atas! ke atas! ke atas! sementara kura-kura berayun dari bagian tengah ranting. Betapa dia menikmatinya! Dia belum pernah naik seperti itu.

Mereka telah menempuh perjalanan jauh dengan selamat ketika mereka tiba di ladang jerami. Para pembuat jerami itu mendongak dan melihat bebek-bebek dan kura-kura.

“Ho! ho! kura-kura telah mencuri beberapa sayap,” teriak salah satu pembuat jerami.

“Aneh sekali kereta yang dia miliki!” kata yang lain sambil tertawa keras.

“Kasihan sekali kudanya,” kata yang lain.

Hal ini membuat kura-kura itu sangat marah hingga dia berteriak, “Kau–” tetapi tidak seorang pun tahu apa yang akan dia katakan, karena dia jatuh ke tanah dan terbunuh.
