The Greedy Mouse

Tikus yang serakah

A greedy mouse saw a basket full of corn.
Seekor tikus yang serakah melihat sekeranjang penuh jagung.

He wanted to eat it.
Dia ingin memakannya.

So he made a small hole in the basket.
Lalu dia membuat lubang kecil di keranjang itu.

He squeezed in through the hole.
Dia merangsek masuk ke dalam lubang itu.

He ate a lot of corn. He felt full and was very happy.
Dia makan banyak sekali jagung. Dia merasa kenyang dan senang sekali

Now he wanted to come out. He tried to come out through the small hole.
Sekarang dia ingin keluar. Dia berusaha untuk keluar lewat lubang kecil itu.

But he couldn't. His belly was full.
Tapi dia tidak bisa. Perutnya terlalu besar.

He tried again. But it was of no use.
Dia berusaha lagi. Tapi percuma saja.

The mouse started crying. A rabbit was passing by.
Si tikus mulai menangis. Seekor kelinci sedang lewat.

She heard the mouse's cry and asked, "Why are you crying, my friend?"
Dia mendengar tangisan si tikus dan tanya, 'kenapa kau menangis, kawan?'

The mouse explained, "I made a small hole and came into the basket to eat the corn, now I am not able to get out through that hole."
Si tikus menjelaskan, 'aku tadi membuat lubang kecil dan masuk ke keranjang ini untuk makan jagung, sekarang aku tidak bisa keluar lewat lubang itu'

The rabbit said, "It is because you ate too much. Wait till your belly shrinks." The rabbit laughed and went away.
Si kelinci bilang, 'itu karena tadi kamu makan terlalu banyak. Tunggu aja sampai perutmu mengecil.' Si kelinci tertawa dan pergi.

The mouse fell asleep in the basket. The next morning his belly had shrunk.
Si tikus ketiduran di dalam keranjang. Keesokan paginya perutnya telah mengecil.

But he wanted to eat some more corn. He forgot all about getting out of the basket.
Tapi dia ingin makan jagung-jagung itu lagi. Dia lupa tentang semua hal kalau dia ingin keluar dari keranjang.

So he ate the corn and his belly was really big again.
Jadi dia makan lagi jagung-jagung itu dan perutnya menjadi sangat besar lagi.

After eating, the mouse remembered that he had to escape.
Selesai makan, si tikus baru ingat kalau dia harus kabur.

But obviously, he could not. So he thought, "Oh! Now I will go out tomorrow."
Tapi tentu saja, dia tidak bisa. Jadi dia pikir, 'oh! Ya sudah aku keluarnya besok saja.'

A cat was the next passerby. He smelt the mouse in the basket. He lifted its lid and ate the greedy mouse.
Seekor kucing lewat. Dia mencium bau tikus di dalam keranjang. Dia mengangkat penutup keranjang dan memakan si tikus serakah itu.
