PONDIK
One day, when Pondik was sitting lazy and thinking about what he would eat today, his eyes suddenly focused on a beehive in a tree. "Well, it looks like I'll get a lot of money today," she said, smiling. Carefully, he picked up the honeycomb and put it in a pot, then he pitched around the village shouting, "Gong ... gong ... who will buy?"
Many people are attracted and crowded around. "Hi Pondik, should not gong be made of metal? Why are yours made of soil? Will not it break if we run it?" asked a man. "Oh, this gong does not need to be beat, you just wiggle it," Pondik replied while he was shaking the earthen pot. Sure enough, the sound "Ngiiinnngggg ... ngiiiiinnnggg .." was heard from the inside of the pot.
Finally the pot was also sold. Pondik grinned as he accepted the money while saying, "You can only wiggle him after I leave." As soon as Pondik left, the buyer could not wait to shake the pot. More longer, the noise came out became louder. "Ngiiinnngggg ... ngiiiiinnnggg .." The owner and other residents became curious. "What makes the pot beeping?" they asked. Then, they opened the pot. In an instant, the bee troupe went out and attacked them. Their bodies were swollen from stings. Furiously they searched for Pondik.
"There he is!" shouted those who found Pondik sitting in front of his house. They then arrested and drove Pondik to the village hall to be tried. Being deemed to have injured the citizen, he was punished with both hands hung on a tree until he apologized and regretted his deeds. However, Pondik was still a cunning. Instead of regrets, he even trapped others to replace him.
"What are you doing, Pondik?" asked his friend Mtembong who had just returned from a neighboring village.
"Oh, I'm exercising," he replied, swinging. "Well, very diligent, that is why your stomach is slim and your hands are strong," said Mtembong.
Hearing the praise, the idea came to offer Mtembong to try the "sport". Mtembong agreed and immediately untied Pondik's hand and soon he was hanging on the tree trunk.
After swinging all day, Mtembong started from pain. Where's Pondic? He has disappeared. Fortunately there was a passing citizen.
"Hi Mtembong, what are you doing, is not Pondik who should be serving the punishment?"
"Punishment?" asked Mtembong in surprise. After his friend explained the problem, Mtembong realized that Pondik had deceived him.
