The eagle's news quickly spread. That kancil lost race ran the same tortoise! This news is also heard by monkeys. Period, deer lost racing ran the same tortoise? I'm smarter than a mouse deer! Moreover the tortoise! Monkeys were determined to try to complain cleverness with the tortoise. I will challenge the turtle to race to plant a banana. Which banana tree is faster to bear fruit. I already know how!
On a sunny morning, by the river, a turtle is engrossed to see farmers planting rice, some planting bananas, corn and beans.
Come a monkey who wants to try out the intelligence of the tortoise.
Hi turtle, let's race to plant a banana. Which banana tree will be fruit first!
Why would we race to plant a banana? I have not been able to and have never planted a banana, the tortoise replied.
Said you won the race ran the same mouse deer? Now let's race to plant a banana! Anyway if you lose, you can no longer show up on land! You can only live in the river. I will not lose like a mouse deer! I'm smarter than Kancil. How is a turtle, brave? The monkey challenged the turtle with his arrogance.
Well then, tomorrow we start. There's empty land there is a farmer's pack, the tortoise replied.
So the next day a turtle and a monkey look busy making a hole to plant a banana. The tortoise planted a small banana tree, imitating the farmer's pack that he saw when planting bananas. Strangely the monkey planted is not the tree, but the heart of the banana!
It's finished turtle? How long ago? Hahahahaha ... plant it long, when is it fruitful? The monkey laughs at the turtle, mocking.
Let's see later! replied the tortoise as he continued to hoard the existing pit of his banana tree.
Having finished planting the heart of his banana, the monkeys drift away leaving the unfinished tortoise to plant his banana plant. The monkey feels that he will surely win.
A day, two days, almost every day monkeys and turtles see their banana plants. The monkey was sure that his banana plant would be fruitful. Monkeys think that bananas come out of the heart of bananas, why should the tree be planted? If the direct heart is planted, it means that the fruit will be faster. Monkeys forgot that the banana heart came out of a banana tree!
Almost everyday the monkeys ridiculed the turtle who diligently watered his banana tree, weeding the grass that grows around it, loosening the soil. Surrounded by bamboo. While the monkeys just sit lazy while watching the turtles who are diligent work.
Three weeks have passed.
Turtle? asked the monkey
Kuk! "Answered the turtle
How's your banana plant? "Asked the monkey again.
Already grown new leaves four sheets, height added one meter. How have you got? answered the tortoise.
"Still jatung, add eot ae! replied monkey (still the heart added peot bae, Sundanese language), it means still a thin heart plus just.
That's the question of the monkey and turtle every day. Usually monkeys who asked first, answered by the turtle "Kuk". And if the turtle asks, answered by monkey "Still jatung, add eot ae!"
One month, two months,
And out of the banana heart among the banana leaves, banana trees have tortoises. While the heart of the banana planted in the monkey instead added thin, wilted and decayed!
Turtle? asked the monkey.
Yoke! answered the tortoise.
How is your banana plant?
Already out of his heart, soon to bear fruit. How have you got? replied the tortoise asked the monkey.
The monkey does not directly answer the turtle question. Perhaps shy or what, he went to leave the tortoise.
Your turtle is clever. I accept defeat, and you can live on land.
The turtle did not say anything, his eyes filled with tears.
Thank you God. You have helped me! said the turtle crying.
