Daftar Isi

Once upon a time there was a story about I Lutung and I Kekua. When I Lutung was sitting under a tree he heard I Kekua talking to himself  “this life is so hard, it’s difficult to find foods in rainy season, if this lasts for so long, I will die. Then I Lutung approached I Kekua.

When he saw I Kekua, I Kekua was skinny, his body was like half-eaten fishbone. Then I Lutung advised I Kekua “Kekua, stop grouching. I know a place where you can find bananas, it’s located in the west of Cengceng river that garden is owned by I Kaki Prodong.

I went there a month ago. The bananas were almost ripe, perhaps those bananas have been ripe. Suddenly, I Kekua felt hungry no longer after hearing what I Lutung said to him. He was very happy because he would eat delicious bananas. Then he said “ Lutung what should I do to get there? The banana garden is very far from here, the river is wide”. Then I Lutung replied “How stupid you are, Kekua! You’re good at swimming, I’ll be sitting on your back while you’re swimming across the river.

When we get there you have to climb the trees to get bananas. If we get 3 bananas give me 2 bananas and you get 1 banana. When they were on their way to the banana garden I Lutung was sitting with a smile on Kekua’s back. It wasn’t take too long to cross the river.

When they got there they saw Kaki Prodong’s cottage near the garden. I Kekua was looking around the garden in order to make sure that I Kaki Prodong wasn’t there. The garden was absolutely quiet, nobody was there. Then I Lutung climbed a banana tree, meanwhile I Kekua was waiting under the banana tree. When I Lutung got 2 bananas he peeled the bananas and ate them up, but he didn’t give I Kekua even one banana. What I Lutung gave to I Kekua were the skins of bananas. It Made I Kekua angry. When I Lutung was enjoying the delicious banana, I Kaki Prodong showed up. “What an insolent monkey, I’ll kill that monkey” said I Kaki Prodong.

I Kekua was hiding under the banana tree when I Kaki Prodong was walking towards I Lutung secretly. I Lutung didn’t realize what the danger he would face because he was very happy to eat delicious bananas on a banana tree. Then I Kaki Prodong took a shotgun of his bag and aimed at I Lutung’s stomach. Then I Lutung died and fell off the tree. The carcass of I Lutung was brought to I Kaki Prodong’s cottage by him.
