Narrative Text: The Rock and the Weasel

Long ago a weasel came to a forest near Phakchong. He saw many mice there. Weasels like to eat mice, so the weasel decided to stay in the forest.

First, the weasel found a place to sleep in a hole beneath a bush. The next day he walked to the top of a small hill. On the hilltop was a rock. The weasel decided to sit on the rock.

“Who’s there?” asked the rock. “Whoever you are, don’t sit on me.”

“I’ll sit here as long as I like,” said the weasel. “After all, you’re not going anywhere.”

The rock sighed, for there was nothing he could do. The weasel sat back on his hind legs. He raised his forelegs in front of him, looked at the sky, and pretended to pray. At sunset the weasel walked down the hill to his home. He did the same thing the next day, and the next day, and the next day after that.

Soon the mice became curious about the weasel. They watched him for several days. Finally they chose one brave mouse to ask the weasel what he was doing. The brave mouse climbed the hill.

“What are you doing?” asked the mouse.

“I’m praying,” replied the weasel.

The mouse ran back down the hill. He told the other mice that the weasel was praying. The mice decided that the weasel was a very great animal. They also thought he must be a very good animal. That evening they waited for him at the bottom of the hill.

 “We want to pay our respects’ to you,” said their leader. The weasel and the mice

The mice walked around the weasel three times. Then they went home. They did not notice that one mouse was missing.

Each night after that the mice waited for the weasel. Each night he came down from the hilltop. Each night the mice walked around him three times, and each night the weasel ate one mouse.

This went on for several months. Finally the leader of the mice noticed something. The forest had fewer mice than before. He called a meeting of all the mice.

“Something is wrong,” said the leader. “Mice are disappearing, I thing the weasel is eating our friends and relations.

The mice decided to look at the weasel’s home. They went the next day, while the weasel was on the rock. In the weasel’s hole they found a large pile of mouse bone. The mice ran back to the leader who told them what to do.

That evening most of the mice waited at the bottom of the hill. Some of the stronger mice walked up behind the hill. At the sundown the weasel stepped off the rock, and it began to move. The rock rolled down the hill, but the weasel didn’t hear it coming. He was thinking about his dinner.

The rock landed on the weasel.

“Get off,” cried the weasel. “Don’t sit on me.”

“I’ll sit here as long as I like,” said the rock. “After all, I’m not going anywhere.”

TRANSLATION LYRICS

You might be busy On Monday

Tuesday might seem A bit hasty, no?

Wednesday seems to Be a little be weird

I just don't like Thursday

This Friday~ How is it this Friday?

I can't wait Until this weekend

I want to tell the clock To run faster (mind control)

Every minute and second Is sweet

What is this man

I can't stop Falling in love

During all day, my heart Is on those hands of the clock

One stop at a time Closer to you

This Friday~ How is it this Friday?

There isn't a movie I want to see

There isn't a menu I would like

I can't wait Until this weekend

I want to tell the clock To run faster (mind control)

Every minute and second Is sweet

What is this man

I can't stop Falling in love

During all day, my heart Is on those hands of the clock

One stop at a time Closer to you

I think I'm possessed By something

What is this girl

I can't stop Falling in love

I'll see you this Friday Please take my heart that day

Come closer, closer Closer

HANGUL LYRICS

월요일엔 아마 바쁘지 않을까

화요일도 성급해 보이지 안 그래

수요일은 뭔가 어정쩡한 느낌

목요일은 그냥 내가 왠지 싫어

우~ 이번 주 금요일

우~ 금요일에 시간 어때요

주말까지 기다리긴 힘들어

시간아 달려라 시계를 더 보채고 싶지만 (mind control)

일분 일초가 달콤해

이 남자 도대체 뭐야

사랑에 빠지지 않곤 못 배기겠어

온 종일 내 맘은 저기 시계바늘 위에 올라타

한 칸씩 그대에게 더 가까이

우~ 이번 주 금요일

우~ 금요일에 시간 어때요

딱히 보고 싶은 영화는 없지만

딱히 먹고 싶은 메뉴는 없지만

주말까지 기다리긴 힘들어

시간아 달려라 시계를 더 보채고 싶지만 (mind control)

일분 일초가 달콤해

이 남자 도대체 뭐야

사랑에 빠지지 않곤 못 배기겠어

온 종일 내 맘은 저기 시계바늘 위에 올라타

한 칸씩 그대에게 더 가까이

나 뭔가에 홀린 것 같아

이 여잔 도대체 뭐야

사랑해주지 않고는 못 배기겠어

돌아오는 이번 주 금요일에 만나요

그 날 내 맘을 더 가져가줘요

더 가까이 더 가까이 와요 더 가까이

Narrative Text: Takatuliang

            Long, long time ago on the island of Simbau, in the Sulawesi Sea, there lived a king and his beautiful daughter. The princess was not only beautiful, but she was also wise and kind.

Many princesses wanted to marry the king’s daughter and this made the king confused. He then announced a contest: whoever presented the princess with the most valuable gift would marry her.

Takatuliang, a poor woodcarver, wated to join the contest but he was so poor that he had nothing to present. Then he went far into the forest. There he chose the best tree and carved it into a doll. Next, he took an old piece of cloth and sewed it into a dress for the doll. After that, he cut his own hair and glued it to the doll’s head.

On the day of the contest, all of the princes gathered before the king and the princess. One by one, they presented their gifts; diamonds, silk, gold jewelry. Then came Takatuliang’s turn.

“What do you have?” asked the princess

“I bring only a doll,” said Takatuliang softly.

“How many dolls like this do you have?” asked the princes again.

“Only this one. I carved it myself and decorated it with my own hair and my father’s old cloth. He died and this is the only thing he left me” answered Takatuliang.

           The princess was very touched to hear Takatuliang’s story. She decided to marry Takatuliang because he had presented her everything he had. Together, Takatuliang and Princess lived happily ever after.

Narrative Text: Yoko The Pity Monkey Story

Once upon a time, there was a young monkey, named Yoko. He was an active and playful monkey. He lived with his parents and friends in a beautiful mountain. The mountain was covered with huge old trees that grew tall into the sky. Some of the trees bore delicious fruits. Every day, Yoko and the other monkeys would eat fruits from the trees heartily. It was always cool up there in the mountain.

When it rained, the water that flowed down the mountain filled the river with Water. Yoko then could see the people from a nearby village come to the river to catch fish. They also bathed and washed their clothes in the river. These people did not disturb the trees to the animals that lived there. It made Yoko felt secure about his family and friends.

One day, one of the monkeys, Tiro, came screaming and jumping hurriedly from tree to tree. “Run!” he screamed. “Run, everyone! A huge monster is coming this way. It is eating all the trees with its large sharp teeth.”

All the monkeys, birds and other creatures that lived in the forest ran for their lives. The sound the monster made was very loud and frightening. They ran away as afar as they could. The monkeys stayed where they were until everything was quiet again. When they found their way back, they saw that all the trees were gone. Some people were standing near the monster which was actually a bulldozer. These people were different from the ones who went to the river to fish or bath.

       Yoko and other monkeys felt very sad. They did not have a home anymore. There was no food left for them. Eventually, they decided to leave the mountain and find another forest to live in.
