A Kind Rabbit

Rabbit is an animal that is very funny and has a smooth hair and very beautiful. However, there was a rabbit that was so different in this story, because she had a rough and a dirty hair. Although she frequently cleaned it, her hair was dirty again easily.

She was miserable and lived alone. She lived near the river and separated from the others because no one else would make her as friend. When she passed a group of rabbits, no one approached her or just to say hello. However, they even taunted and threw dirt on her. But she was never angry and kept to be steadfast in facing those humiliations. She believed that someday the goodness would surely come to her.

One day, there was a handsome rabbit who became a wanderer. He was being hurt by tree branch that punctured her stomach. She saw it and help immediately. She brought the wanderer into her home to take care him with a traditional medicine. The wanderer initially felt disgusted with her because the bad smelling and her dirty.

Kelinci yang Baik Hati

Kelinci adalah seekor hewan yang sangat lucu dan mempunyai rambut yang halus dan sangat indah. Namun, kelinci yang ada di dalam kisah ini berbeda, karena ia mempunyai rambut yang kasar dan begitu kotor. Meskipun ia sering membersihkannya, namun rambut yang ia miliki sangat mudah kotor sehingga ia berbau.

Ia sangat menderita dan menjalani kehidupannya sendirian. Ia tinggal diseberang sungai dan terpisah dari kelompoknya karena tidak ada lagi yang mau menerimanya. Ketika ia lewat di dekat kelompoknya, tidak ada yang mendekatinya apalagi sekedar menyapa. Mereka bahkan mengejeknya dan melempar kotoran kepadanya. Namun ia tidak pernah marah dan tetap sabar dalam meghadapi segala cobaan tersebut. Ia yakin, suatu saat pasti kebaikan akan datang kepada dirinya.

Pada suatu hari, ada seorang kelinci yang merupakan seorang pengembara tampan. Pengembara tersebut sedang terluka karena perutnya tertusuk ranting pohon. Ia melihat pengembara tersebut dan segera menolong. Ia membawa pengembara tampan ke dalam rumahnya untuk diobati dengan pengobatan tradisional. Sang pengembara awalnya merasa jijik terhadapnya karena tubuhnya yang berbau dan bulunya yang kotor. Namun perasaan jijik tersebut hilang, dan sang pengembara merasa kagum terhadapnya dan sangat berterima kasih terhadap pengobatan yang ia berikan.

Sang kelinci merasa begitu gembira karena pengembara sudah sembuh berkat bantuannya. Ia kemudian ditanya oleh sang pengembara kondisinya, sang pengembara berkata “Maaf, kenapa rambutmu kasar dan kotor?” Ia menjawab, “Ini adalah penyakit yang aku miliki dan hingga saat ini aku belum menemukan obat yang tepat”. Sang kelinci kemudian diajak untuk ikut mengembara dan berkunjung ke sebuah kerajaan. Di kerajaan tersebut, ada seorang tabib yang mampu menyembuhkan segala penyakit. Ia setuju dan ikut dengan pengembara. Beberapa hari kemudian, mereka berhasil menemui tabib tersebut dan sang kelinci berhasil disembuhkan. Ternyata, setelah ia sembuh, ia menjadi sangat cantik dan membuat pengembara tersebut jatuh cinta. Mereka menikah dan hidup bahagia.
