Kancil and Crocodile Story
(Favorite Story from Indonesia)

Kancil, the small but clever mouse deer, had many enemies in the forest. Fortunately, he was
quick-witted, so that every time his life was threatened, he managed to escape.
One of his greatest enemies was Crocodile, who lived in the river that bordered the forest. Many
times Crocodile had tried to capture the small mouse deer. Crocodile was big, but he was not very
clever. Kancil was able to trick him every time.
 One day it was very hot. There was no wind at all to refresh the thirsty plants and trees of the
forest. It was in the middle of the dry season. For many weeks no rain had fallen so that the little
creeks where the small animals used to drink had dried up. Kancil was walking alone in the forest; he
was very thirsty. He had walked a long way; looking for a brook where he could quench his thirst, but
he had found only dry mud in the once gay rippling brooks. It was very quiet in the forest. All the
animals seemed to sleep. Even the birds did not sing in the trees. Kancil finally decided to go to the
river that bordered the forest. Usually he avoided going there as he knew that Crocodile was always
on the look-out for him, waiting for an opportunity to catch him.
When he arrived at the river. Kancil looked cautiously around him. There was no body to be
seen. The clear river water mirrored blindly the rays of the sun. step by step Kancil approached the
water. His sharp eyes looked right and left; his pointed ears strained to catch the slightest sound. But
no danger seemed to threaten him this time. Relieved, he bent his head to enjoy the cool water.
Suddenly, his glance fell upon an object that was floating not far away from where he stood. It was a
blackish thing. It looked like a fallen branch . Or, like the back of crocodile! Kancil jumped back,
surprised and thoughtful. But he was also very thirsty. How could he possibly know whether the thing
there in the river was really a log or a crocodile? Then he smiled a little as he hit upon an idea. In a
clear voice he shouted, “ Hey! There, you who are in the river. If you are crocodile, don ’t answer me,
but if you are only a long of wood, tell me your name!”
Now it was really Crocodile who was floating in the river. He had seen Kancil approaching and
he was waiting for him to bend his head to drink. At the very moment when Kancil did not look.
Crocodile would catch him. Without thinking any further, Crocodile answered Kancil in his gruff voice,
“Don’t be afraid, I’m only a harmless log!”
Immediately, Kancil ran away as fast as his leg could carry him, while shouting over his
shoulder, “O, stupid Crocodile, have you ever heard a log of wood talk?”
A fortnight later, however, Kancil forgot this incident. The dry season was not over yet and it
seemed to be hotter than ever. Kancil remembered the cool, fresh river water. How wonderful it would
be take a bath in it! He decided to try his luck once again. This time there was nothing suspicious to
be seen, so Kancil went to the water and drank to his heart ’s content. It was very quite, and also very
hot. Without thinking any further Kancil went down into the river and began to splash himself. In his
delight he forgot all about danger. He pick up a dry twig that was floating by and began to beat the
water with it. He made so much noise that he woke up .who else, but old crocodile who was sleeping
in the neighborhood.
“Well, well, this seem to be my lucky day,” thought Crocodile. In a flash he shot out of his hiding
place and all of a sudden. Kancil felt sharp teeth biting into one of his legs. It hurt him very much, but
though he was shocked and frightened Kancil did not lose his wits. Without hesitation he dipped the
dry twig into the water and in a mocking tone he said, “stupid old log of wood, do you really think you
have got me? It is only a twig you have in your mouth, not my leg. Here is my leg ’ catch it if you can! ”
Kancil moved the twig rapidly to and in front of Crocodile’s eyes. Crocodile could not see very
well in the water and above all, he really was blockhead! He believed the clever tal of the little mouse
deer, released kancil’s leg and snapped his jaw on the twig. Of course, kancil did not wait one second
to jump out of the water and run to the safety of the woods. Though his leg was very sore, he laughed
heartily. Once more he had tricked Crocodile.

One day, Mouse Deer went down to the river to take a drink. But he knew that the crocodile might be waiting
underwater to eat him, so he said out loud. “I wonder if the water’s warm. I’ll put in my leg and find out.” Of
course Mouse Deer didn’t put in his leg. He picked up a stick instead and put one end into the water. Chomp !
Crocodile grabbed the stick and pulled it underwater. Mouse Deer laughed. “Ha ha ha Stupid crocodile!
Cant you tell the difference between a stick and a leg?” Then Mouse Deer ran off to drink somewhere else.

In the next day, Mouse Deer wanted to cross the river. He wanted to eat the fruits on the other side of the river.
He saw a floating log in the river. He knew that Crocodile looked like a log when he floated. Mouse Deer didn ’t
want to be eaten by Crocodile when he crosses the river. He had an idea. He called out loud, “Crocodile! ”
Crocodile rose from the water, “Hello, Mouse Deer. Have you come to be my lunch?” Mouse Deer smiled.
“Sorry, not today, Crocodile. I have orders from the King. He wants to invite all the crocodiles in this river to a
party. He wants me to count all the crocodiles so he could prepare enough meal for you.”

Really ? Tell us what to do,” said Crocodile. “You must line up from this side of the river to the other side, ”
said Mouse Deer. Crocodile then got all his friends and family. They lined up across the river. Mouse Deer then
jumped onto Crocodile’s back. “One,” he counted. He jumped onto the next crocodile, “Two.” And the next
crocodile, “Three.” Mouse Deer kept jumping until he arrived on the other side of the river. “How many are
there?” asked Crocodile. “Just enough,” said Mouse Deer. He laughed as he ran to the forest.
