Text 1
Once upon a time, a Hawk feels in love with a hen. The Hawk flew down from
the sky and asked the Hen, Wont you marry me? The Hen loved the Brave, strong
Hawk and wishes to marry him. But she said, I cant fly as high as you can. If you
give time, I may learn to fly as high as you. Then we can fly together. This is to show
that you have promised to marry me, said the Hawk.
So it happened that the Hen had already promised to marry a rooster. So, when
the rooster saw the ring, he became very angry, throw that ring away at once!
Didnt you yell the Hawk that youd already promised to marry me? shouted the
rooster. The Hen was so frightened at the roosters anger that she threw away the
ring immediately.
When the Hawk came the next day, the Hen told him the truth. The Hawk was
so furious that he cursed the Hen. Why didnt you tell me earlier? Now, you will
always be scratching to earth, and Ill always be flying above you to catch your
children, said the Hawk.
The curse seems to have come true.

Many years ago, there lived a hermit in a forest in Sumatera. He did not grow
foods but depended on the jungle to survive. Soon, there was a drought, all the plants
and fruit trees in the jungle died.
The old man had nothing to eat now, so he turned to begging. He went to nearby
village trying to get some food. At first, the villagers were very happy to help him.
However, when he came continually, they refused to give him any more food. They told
him to grow his own food.
One day, while the hermit was sitting in his hut, sad and hungry, he began to think
about growing his own food. Just then a boatman stopped by and taking on the hermit,
gave him some rice seeds.
Before the boatman went away, he said, These seeds will grow and give you
everlasting harvest if you work very hard. If you are tired of the work, the rice plants will
turn into weeds.
The old hermit worked hard to clear the land and sowed the seeds before the rains
came. Strangely, after a short period of time, the rice was ready for harvesting. The old
man got a lot of rice from the harvest. After each harvest, the plants grew back again
right away.
When the villagers heard about the hermit and his wonderful rice, they flocked to
his rice-field and took home as much rice as they could.
