Long ago, there lived a dandy king and
really liked wearing new robe. He spent a lot of time
only to stare at himself in front of the mirror, and
always wanted to wear new robe in the morning, noon
and night!
One day, there came two swindles acting
as great designers. They confessed that they were very
expert in weaving making good quality robe, till, the
cloth worm by them to make a robe would disappear,
except by smart people.
When the king heard about that, he was
very interested. “That‟s great, I can know anyone
stupid and anyone clever in this kingdom. “He
thought. The king immediately ordered both of the
men to make new robe for himself, using that special
cloth.

and then pretending as they were working hard to
make a robe.
A few days later, the king wasn‟t patient
ordering his minister to see the special robe which was
in progress. When the minister visited the swindles
who acted , he was confused. “I can‟t see anything here”
he thought.
But the ministers did not want to confess
it because he didn‟t want anyone considered him as a
stupid person. So he praised the swindles and told
them that the robe which they were making was very
beautiful. After the minister go out of the chamber, the
two swindles were laughing.

considered as a dumb, the king was pretending able to
see the special robe and said, “A very beautiful robe, I
am impatient to wear it”
The next day was a day when the king
would wear his new robe in the cortege around the city.
The two swindles who acted have permitted and gone
with an excuse that they would make robe for the king
from other kingdoms. Of course, they didn‟t forget to
bring the gold strings they have hide, and also gold
money fees of making the robe.
When the king wearing his new robe, he
still couldn‟t see the robe, and he felt very cold. But
because they didn‟t want to called as dummy, the
king was moving around in front of the mirror and
admiring his new robe, though he saw nothing. All of
the royal‟s employee also said that the new robe was
very beautiful, because they didn‟t want to called as
dummy.

A Faithful Lovers
The following story will be special for each
of you who want to know the real meaning of love.
Hmm, thete once lived a chief‟s daugther
who hag many admires. All the young men in the
village wanted to have her for a wife and were all eager
to fill her skin bucket when she went to the brook for
water.
There was a young man in the village. He
was a good hunter but he was poor and had a mean
family. He loved the maiden and wished he could
marry her. So, one day when she went for water, he
threw his robe over her head while he whispered in her
ear: “Will you marry me?”
For a long time the maiden acred as if she
hadn‟t heard anything, but one day she whispered
KUMPULAN CERITA PENDEK
19
back telling that she would be willing to marry him if
he took a scalp.
So he made a war party of seven, himself
and six other young men. Before they started, they sat
down to smoke and rest beside a beatiful lake at the
foot of a green knoll that rose from its shore. The knoll
was covered with green grass and somehow as they
looked at it they had feeling that there was something
about it that was mysterious and uncanny.
One ot the lover‟s friends was so curious
about it that he ventured into the knoll. Four of the
young men follwed. Having reached to the top of the
knoll, all five began to jump and stamp about in sport.
But, suddenly they stopped. The knoll had
begun to move toward the water. It was gigantic turtle!
The five men cried out in alarm and tried to run, but it
was too late! They cried; but the others could do
KUMPULAN CERITA PENDEK
20
nothing. In just a few moments, the waves had closed
over them.
The other two men: the lover and his friend,
went on, but with heavy hearts. After some days, they
came to a river. Worn out with fatigue, the lover threw
himself down on the bank. Fortunately, the lover‟s
friend came to help him.
The following day, his friend told him that
he found a fish which he had cleaned and asked him to
eat the fish together. The lover said that if he ate the
fish, his friend had to promise to fetch him all the
water that he could drink. When they had eaten, the
kettle was rinsed out and lover‟s friend brought it back
with full of water. The lover drank the water at a
draught. Again his friend filled the kettle at the river
and again the lover drank it dry but still asked for
more water. The lover‟s friend then took the lover to the
river. When the lover saw the river, he walked to the
KUMPULAN CERITA PENDEK
21
river, sprang in, and lying down in the water with his
head toward land, drank greedily.
Then, he called out his friend. The friend
came and was amazed to see that the lover was now a
fish from his feet to his middle. Sick at heart he ran
off a little away and threw himself upon the ground in
grief. After awhile, he returned to find that the lover
was now a fish up to his neck.
The friend went home and told his story.
There was great mourning over the death of the five
young men and for the lost lover. In the river, the lover
had become a great fish and its fin was just above the
surface. Canoes had to be portaged at great labor
around the obstruction.
Meanwhile, the chief‟s daugther mourned
for her lover as for a husband and nobody could
comfort her. Day by day, she sat inside her mother‟s
tepee with her head covered with her robe, silent,
KUMPULAN CERITA PENDEK
22
working, and working. Whenever her mother asked,
the maiden did not reply.
The days lengthened into moons until a
year had passed. And the maiden arose. She left her
mother‟s tepee with holding lots of things in her hand.
There where three pairs of moccasins, three pairs of
lenggings, three belts, three shirts, three head dresses
with beautiful feathers, and sweet smelling tobacco.
One day she had a new canoe made. Then,
the next morning she stepped into the canoe and
floated slowly down thhe river toward the great fish.
Her canoe came and stopped to the place where the great
fin arose. One by one she laid her presents on the fish‟s
back, scattering the feathers and tobacco over his broad
spince.
“Oh, fish,” she cried, “oh,fish, you who were
my lover, I shall not forget you. Because you were lost
for love of me, I shall never marry. All my life I shall
KUMPULAN CERITA PENDEK
23
remain a window. Take these present. And now leave
the river, and let the waters run free, so my people may
once more descend in their canoes. “Slowly the great
fish sank, his broad fin disappeared and the waters of
the St. Croix (Stillwater) were free.
