Seeking Justice/Rice Relief

       In Ancient Times, a Squirrel lived in the trunk cavity of a Tree for a long period of time. He loved his place.

       One day, he left his nest to feed and finally found a Coconut Tree.

“Why is my favorite food.” he said. He immediately climbed up the Coconut Tree and began to eat the Fruit. The little squirrel was very fond of leaving the Coconut fruit in his Tree for a few days.

Finally, the Coconut Fruits were all gone. “All right I'm home now.” He thought, “I've long since left my lair.”

However, when the Squirrel left, a little Rat and the Joy had occupied its nest in the Wood's cavity. When the Squirrel returns, he is shocked to find the Rat occupying his home. “What are you doing in my ward?” Ask the squirrel angrily.

“What do you mean say your nest? answer the Rat. “This place was empty when I came.”

“I went to stay on a Coconut tree for a while. That doesn't mean giving you the right to move to my lair. Now you better get out before I get really mad.” cried the Squirrel.

“I don't care if you're angry or not. I will not leave my sarang.” said the little Mouse.

Hearing the quarrel between the Squirrel and the little Rat, all the Beasts gathered around him.

“Already, you do not snatch this storm.” said A Deer

“Then what should we do?”

“Why don't you just ask a judge to decide who is entitled to this nest?” said The Deer

“That's a good idea.” says Squirrel and Rat together.

Then they both looked for a just judge everywhere. But in the end, they came across a cat. He seemed very old and learned.

“For me he seems like a Wise Cat. Let's ask him to solve our quarrel problem!” said the Squirrel.

“Ah..., no! Later we both can be prey.”

The Cat listened to the talk of the Squirrel and the Rat “Here is my chance to eat big.” he thought. He quickly closed his eyes, pretending to pray.

“I think this Cat seems to be a Holy Cat. I'm not sure he'll hurt us.” said Squirrel.

“Yes! Look how solemn he is Praying” said the Rat.

The old cat opened his eyes and said, “Yes, virtue helps me to decide who is right and who is wrong. Tell me about the problems of you two!”

Then the Squirrel and the Mouse began to tell the Cat what had happened. “I'm very old. I can't hear clearly. Can you guys get a little closer.” said the Cunning Cat. Squirrels and mice move a little closer to the cat.

“I still can't hear anything. Try to get closer!” said the Cat. The foolish Squirrel and Rat moved closer to the Cat and before they realized what was happening, the Cat pounced on him with its claws and immediately ate it. That's the result of quarrels, both equally wretched.

Rat Relief

One day, the Tiger was walking in the Forest. He saw the Snake twisting the Rat. The Snake's body twists were extremely powerful, making the Rat unable to break free.

Strong tiger, help me. Help me to escape the coils of the Snake,” said the Rat.

“Don't the laws of Nature say that the strong will win? The snake has caught you. He will definitely eat you,” replied the Tiger.

“If you want to help me, someday I will help you. Whatever trouble you get, I'll help. My family is waiting for me at home. If I die, they will be very sad,” said the Rat. Hearing that, Tiger, Tiger felt pity.

The tiger then approached the snake. He asked the Snake to release his twists on the Rat. Out of fear, the Snake released its twists. The mouse was very relieved and thanked the tiger a lot. After that, the Rat went home and told the Tiger's kindness to his family.

One day, the Tiger was walking in the middle of the Forest. However, he was very surprised when suddenly his leg was hit by something. Then, from the top of the Tree, a mesh fell right on top of his body. He's caught in an animal hunter's trap.

The tiger tried to break away, but the net was very strong. He then screamed loudly for help. The mouse, who happened to be near the scene, heard the Tiger's voice.

Quickly, the Rat ran towards the trapped Tiger. How shocked he was when he saw the body of a tiger tied up in a tree. He came closer and spoke to the Tiger. “What happened to you?”

“I'm stuck in this mesh. I can't get off. Help me,” said the Tiger.

“Not to worry. I will definitely release you from there,” replied the Rat.

Then, the mouse ran quickly towards his house. He called all his family members, as well as his friends. They came in groups to the Tiger's place. They climbed the net and bit until the ropes came off.

Strong Rat teeth can tear and break the ropes that ensnare the Tiger's body. The tiger is free and can get out of the trap. The Tiger was very grateful and thanked the Rats who helped him.
