Fable 1

Kancil was trying to sleep when Pipit came to seek his help.
         “Kancil! Kancil! Kura-Kura has fallen into a well! You must come and help,” the little bird said and led Kancil to the place.
         When Kancil arrived, he saw that all his friends were there. They were trying to save the tortoise but failed. Kancil looked into the well. It was very deep and dark. He could not see the tortoise but he could hear him crying.
         Kancil quickly brought four elephants with him to a river. He told them to take in as much water as they could. Then they brought the water back and filled up the well. The water level rose and Kura-Kura floated to the top of the well.
         “Hurray! Hurray!” the rabbits, monkeys and beavers cheered. Kura-kura was very grateful to the clever mousedeer.
