In ancient times there lived a tortoise and a hawk. Although the turtle and the eagle is rarely met because the turtle spent more time disemak-bush while the more eagles fly, but does not prevent the hawks to always visit a nice little friend, the turtle.
The turtle family is very friendly and always welcome the arrival of the eagle with joy. They also always give the eagle food with very royalnya. So the hawks are always many times to come because the food is free from the family turtle. Each time after eating the turtle family always laughed at the eagles the turtle: "ha ha how stupid the tortoise, I can feel the pleasure of food he always gave, but no way he could enjoy my food because that sarangku situated well above the mountain "
Because so often laughed at and with the eagle's selfish to eat the turtle, then the whole forest began to arouse the attitude of the eagle. The inhabitants of these forests was unhappy with the casual attitude of the eagle to the turtle kind. One day a frog called a turtle who was walking near a river. "Hi my friend the turtle, give me a bowl of peas, then I will give wise words for you" cried the frog. Having spent a bowl of peas from the turtle, the frog said again: "the tortoise, the eagle had abused best friend friendship and your kindness. Each time after a visit at the nest, he's always fun of by saying" ha ha how stupid the turtles, I can feel the pleasure of eating he always gave, but no way he could enjoy my food because sarangku which lies far above the mountain ". On one day the eagle would come back and will ask for a basket of food from you and promise to provide food to you and your children "
It is true that is said by the frog, the eagle came with a basket and as always the hawks enjoy food from the turtle. The eagle said: "O my friend the tortoise, let me fill the basket with food from you, it will send it to the child my wife and my wife will give you a homemade meal for your wife and child." Then the eagle fly and the back laughing at the tortoise. And immediately the turtle into the basket and covered with vegetables, fruits by his wife, so it is not visible. When the eagle back, the turtle's wife said her husband had just left and provide a full basket of food to the hawks. The eagle immediately went flying, carrying the basket.
Back she laughed at the stupidity of the turtles. But this time the turtle to hear his own words. They came to the eagle's nest, and soon the eagle eating the contents of the basket until the end. What a surprise to see the turtle out of the basket. "Hi my friend the hawk, you have often visited sarangku but I've never even visited the nest. It appears that I will be very berbahagianya can enjoy your food as you enjoy my food." How angry the hawk because he felt tersindir. Angrily he pecked her tortoise-shell kura.Namun home thanks to the hard tortoise, the tortoise can not be pecked by the eagle. With the sad turtle said: "I have seen what kind of friendship you offer me, O the eagle. What a disappointment to me. Well take me back to sarangku and our friendship will end." The elangpun said: "Well if that's you want. I'll take you home" But evil thoughts arise on the eagles themselves. "I'll bring you down and eat the remnants of yourselves" he thought again.
Thus, the turtle holds the feet of the eagle that flies high. "Pull my leg" cried the angry hawk. Patiently the tortoise replied: "I will deliver your feet if you have lead me back to sarangku" to upset the eagle was flying high, menungkik and wiggle her feet in the hope that the turtle will fall. But there's no point. Finally she dropped the turtle on its nest, and soon flying high with a feeling of shame.
When the eagle flies, the turtle cried: "O my friendship requires mutual sharing of one another. Kaupun I respect and appreciate me. But anyway, since you made our friendship just a game, and I laugh at my family friendliness then you should not have again come to me ".
