THE
MONKEY AND THE TURTLE1
Once
upon a time there was a heavy down pour that made rivers
overflow their banks. So a monkey and a turtle agreed to go to the river
to pick up rampe (things brought by the flood) from the stream. When they
arrived at the river, they found a banana trunk drifting along the
river. They picked up the banana trunk and then divided it between them to grow
in their fields. The monkey thought it would be better if he took the upper
half of trunk so that it could grow easily and yield fruit sooner than the
lower half of it because the upper half was closer to where the bananas were.
The monkey then gave the lower half to the turtle and together they went
directly home to plant their shares.
Everyday
the monkey came to the turtle’s field asking how his lower
half grew and how many
leaves it had.
The turtle answered. “Quite
dense, I guess!”“And how is your upper half, Monkey?” “Well, it withered,”
answered the monkey.
Days
went by and almost everyday the monkey asked the
turtle about his lower half. And the turtle always answered, “Denser and
denser!” On the contrary, the monkey always ansewered, “Withered and
winthered!” At last, the monkey’s upper half stopeed growing, while the lower
half of the turtle began to bear fruit. Soon the turtle’s bananas were ripe
enough to harvest, but the turtle could not climb the banana tree to pick the
fruit. So he sent for the monkey to help him climb the banana tree and pick the
bananas.
When
the monkey got to the top of the tree, he began to pick ripe bananas, peeled
them one by one and ate them greedily. The monkey went on eating, while the
turtle was watching him from below. He got no bananas whatsoever from the
monkey even after he begged him kindly. “Pass one or two to me, Monkey!” “Wait!
Let me finish tasting all of them first!”
The
turtle went on asking for the bananas but the monkey only dropped the banana
skins for his friend.
This
scene went on and on until the turtle got angry since his right was denied by
the monkey. Then the turtle left the place. On his return, he
brought with him
several pieces of
sharp-pointed bamboos. He stuck the bamboo pieces upright on the grass
around the banana tree, and said, “Hey Monkey! When you get down, remember not
to jump upon the grassless part of the field because you might be bitten by the
king’s watchdogs. Please jump on the grass!”
Having
eaten up all turtle’s bananas, the monkeys jumped down on the grassy area shown
by the turtle and ... what happened then? The bamboo stakes, prepared by the
turtle, worked and the monkey was stabbed right through his belly and died. The
turtle immediately took along bamboo
to catch the monkey’s blood flowing from the wound and
then he carried it on his shoulder. The turtle walk along the streets singing,
offering his merchandise... “Who wants to buy some sugar, please”
As
the turtle passed by the palace, the king heard his singing and asked his man
to send for the turtle since he wanted to buy the sugar. When the turtle came
before the king and showed his sugar, the king bought it. But, when the king
was about to pay the turtle refused to receive the money. He wanted the king to
give him a gong in exchange for the sugar. The king agreed to the turtle’s
demand and gave the turtle a gong. Having received the gong, the turtle went on
his way to sell the sugar. All along his way he beat the gong while singing his
song. “Gong... gong... gong... gong... Eat, ... eat up the bones of your fellow
man Drink, ... drink up the blood of your fellow man.”
The
turtle went on singing all along the street. And when the king heard this song,
he realized that he had been deceived by the turtle in buying his sugar. The
king asked his man to send for the turtle again. When he came before the king,
the trutle confessed that he had actually sold the king monkey’s blood instead
of sugar. The king got angry at what the turtle had done to him. Unjustly he
decided to sentence the turtle to death by beheading. The turtle accepted the
sentence, but he had a request to propose, “I accept the king’s decision, but
should the punishment be executed, I want my head cushioned on the king’s
thighs.” This request was granted by the king.
The
punishment was executed in front of the people, attended by all knights,
ministers, and governors of the kingdom. The turtle was laid upon the king’s
thighs. The executioner was ready with his long sharp sword, which was shining
in the sun. As he was about to chop the turtle’s head, immediately the turtle
withdrew his head inside the shell. What happened then? The sword surely cut
the king’s thighs off and killed him.
This
story ended with the death of the greedy monkey and of the unjust king.(M.

THE STAG AND THE WATER
One
day a stag stood by the side of a pond. He looked at himself in the water. “My antlers are
so beautiful!” he said. “They are so long and graceful. I wish I could the rest
of my body was as nice. But look at my ugly legs! They are so thin. I don’t
like them at all.”
Just then he
heard some
dogs. He could hear the hunters on their horses. He ran away. His long legs jumped
over the branches and dead trees. Soon he had left the dogs and the men far
behind. the woods to hide. But his antlers got caught on some branches. He
pulled and turned. But he could not get away. Then he went into the woods to
hide. But his antlers got caught on some branches. He pulled and turned. But he
could not get away.
As the hunters
came closer, he said, “What a fool I was! My antlers made me so proud. Now they
will cause my death. I thought my legs were so ugly. But they were the only
things that could have saved me.”
Sometimes the
things we like most are not good for us. And something we don’t like, we need.

THE ORIGIN OF A COUNTRY
CALLED
MINANGKABAU(Minangkabau,
West Sumatera)
A ship came from the sea carrying
a buffalo with long horns. The ship anchored and the buffalo landed at a hill Bull Gombak, and then it was bathed in a river called Sungai Emas, and after that the ship passed along the foot of a hill
called Bukit Batu Patah.
So the buffalo was taken outside; its length was fifteen fathoms, its bulk
eight fathoms, its horn six fathoms. Then the skipper said to Datuk
Ketumanggungan and Datuk Perpatin nan Sabatang as well as to all the people of
the country, “Would you, all the people gathered here, like to make a bet by
having our buffaloes fight? In case my buffalo is defeated, all my ship will
belong to you,” Then Datuk Perpatin nan Sabatang and Datuk Ketumanggungan as
well as dignitaries and all of the intelectual expressed their common view. “Let’s
hold it after seven days.” They were going to look for a young buffalo which
was still sucking milk from its mother. Meanwhile they made an iron support
having nine branches with six apexes.
Before the seven days elapsed, during the night the young calf was not given the oppurtunity to be suckled by its
mother. On the mouth of the thirsty calf they fixed the iron support mentioned
above. All men and women went out of their houses to watch the fight. The big
buffalo was driven to the large field, while the young buffalo was released and
also driven to the
center of the field. At once the
young buffalo hurried up toward the big buffalo to suck milk to quench its
thirst, but in so doing, it attacked with its iron support the belly of the big
buffalo; and the young buffalo won the game.
How ashamed the skipper was. He abandoned all his
ships and he went back to the sea; he left a acock behind. Then all the
inhabitants of Nature throughout the county came to an agreement to call the
place Pulau Perca (the island of rubber). At present it is called Minangkabau,
and up till now the name has not been changed.

REFLECTION SUMMARY M3 LA2
NARATIVE TEXT ( Fabel )
1.
In this activity, I have learned;
To understand detailed information from the stories of fabel; The Monkey
and The Turtle, The Stag and The Water, The Origin Of A Country Called
Minangkabau by completing the table of the story elements (e.g. setting,
characters, problem, solution, ending) correctly.
to analyze the structure of the texts, including how specific sentences,
paragraphs, and larger portions of the text (e.g. setting, plots, characters,
or problem)
To draw conclusion of the plot, character(s) and personality, the problems
occurred, and the solutions to the conflicts in each story
to understand and make inferences of the narrative style in terms of
vocabulary, sentence structures, and other language features in the plots or
sequences, characters, problems and solutions or in other aspects of the story.
2.
The key features of narrative texts in stories of The Monkey and The Turtle, The Stag and The Water, The Origin Of A Country
Called Minangkabau;
Narrative text ( fabel) is a text which has these elements: setting, plot,
theme, characters, problem and solution and conclusion
Setting: refers to the time and the place in which an event or an action
happens. Components of setting are Location; Weather; Time Period; Time of Day.
To identify key aspect of setting you have to find words and phrases that
signal the time and place a story occurs. Read the beginnings of stories and noting
the clues for time and place.
Characters are the people or personified animals who are involved in the
story. Authors use a variety of words to develop their characters’ traits and
problems and the story’s setting. To describe a character who is typically
sloppy, an author does not repeat the word sloppy but creates a sense of this
trait with words such as slovenly, chaotic, and disorganized. The unknown words
in narrative texts are often synonyms for concepts you already have but are
often words that you have not encountered before.
Plot is sequence of events involving characters in conflict situations:
Plot is Beginning, Middle, End or Introduction, Problem, and Resolution. To
understand the plot, you have to look for the information included in the introduction
of a story: time, place, circumstances, main characters. You look for the
series of incidents where main characters go about achieving goals; Call
attention to how the goals are achieved or not achieved in the conclusion, and
the high point of the action; and make time lines of the story.
Problem in a narrative text is also called complication. It is presented in
the plot (beginning, middle, and the end of the story). Problem is when the
(main) character faces problems/series of incidents where the main character
goes to about achieving goals. To understand conflict in a narrative text, you
look at
Solution is the way character respond to the problem encountered. You have
to look for the action. What do characters do about the problem and what is the
outcome?
Point of View is seen from the perspective of
1) First Person:
a) Story is told through eyes of one person; b) Reader experiences story as
the narrator views it; and c) Found mostly in picture books.
2) Third Person:
a) Readers can know the viewpoint of one character; b) The author is
godlike: sees and knows all, c) Found mostly in chapter books.
3.
What I like most about this activity
is/are; First, I need hear the story of Minangkabau. It’s a very good story I think. I
also have learnt much about fabel which which has these elements: setting,
plot, theme, characters, problem and solution.
4.
What I need to improve/learn more
is/are
a.
Read as many as fabels to enrich my knowledge
b.
Try to remember every fabel I read
c.
Try to make local fabels based on stories told by local people in my
village
