THE FABLE OF HOW UNCLE BREWSTER WAS TOO SHIFTYFOR THE TEMPTERBy: George Ade (1866-1944)

The following story is reprinted from More Fables. George Ade. New York: Herbert S. Stone,1900.

When Uncle Brewster had put on his Annual Collar and combed his Beardand was about to start to the Depot, his Wife, Aunt Mehely, looked at himthrough her Specs and shook her Head doubtfully.

Then she spoke as follows: "You go slowly there in the City. You know yourFailin's. You're just full of the Old Harry, and when you're Het Up you're justlike as not to Raise Ned."

"I guess I can take keer of myse'f about as well as the Next One," retortedUncle Brewster. "I've been to the Mill an' got my Grist, if any one should ask.I ain't no Greeny."

With that he started for the Train, which was due in one Hour.

As he rode toward the Great City he smoked a Baby Mine Cigar, purchased ofthe Butcher, and told the Brakeman a few Joe Millers just to throw out theImpression that he was Fine and Fancy.

After he had registered at the Hotel and Swelled Up properly when addressedas "Mister" by the Clerk, he wanted to know if there was a Lively Show inTown. The Clerk told him to follow the Street until he came to all the ElectricLights, and there he would find a Ballet. Uncle Brewster found the Place, andlooked in through the Hole at an Assistant Treasurer, who was Pale and worea Red Vest.

"I want a Chair near the Band," said Uncle Brewster. "How much does one of'em fetch?"

"Two Dollars," replied the Assistant Treasurer, pulling down his Cuffs and thenexamining himself in a small Mirror at one side of the Diagram.

"Great Grief!" ejaculated Uncle Brewster. "I only paid Thirty-Five Cents for theGlass Blowers, an' I'll warrant you they beat your Troupe as bad asCranberries beats Glue. I'll see you plumb in Halifax before I"

"Stand aside, please," said the Assistant Treasurer.

Uncle Brewster saw a Policeman, and thought it his Duty to tell the Officerthat the Theater Folks were a Pack of Robbers.

"Up an Alley," said the Policeman.

Instead of going to a Show, Uncle Brewster stood in front of a Clothing Storeand watched the Wax Figures.

When he got back to his Room the Bell-Hopper came around and asked him ifhe cared to Sit in a Quiet Game. Uncle Brewster wanted to know whetherthey were Gamblers or Business Men, and the Boy said they were BusinessMen. It was all friendly, with an Ante of Two Bits and the Chandelier as the


2/18

Limit. Uncle Brewster said he was accustomed to playing with Lima Beans,Three for a Cent and One call two and no fair to Bluff. The Bell-Hopper toldhim to Turn in and gets a Good Night's Rest.

Next Morning at the Hotel he spotted a stylish little Chunk of a Woman whokept the Cigar Case and sold Books with Actress Photos on the outside.

He walked over to buy a Cigar, but he happened to see the "3 for 50c." Labeland his Feet got cold.

So, instead of buying a Cigar, he conversed with the Proprietress. He seemedto be a Success with her, and ventured to say that he was a Stranger in Townand would like first-rate to go out to a Lecture or some other kind ofEntertainment that Evening if he could find a Nice Girl that didn't mind goingwith a Respectable Man who could give References, and besides was nearlyold enough to be her Father. Then after the Lecture they could go to a First-Class Restaurant and have an Oyster Stew.

Uncle Brewster had read the Illustrated Papers in the Barber Shop out Home,

and he certainly knew what was expected of a Man who wanted to give aGay Girl the Time of her Life.

The Cigar and Literary Girl said she would be Charmed to accompany himonly for one Thing: She said she didn't have a Hat that was fit to Wear. Shesaid she could tell by his Looks that he was a Gentleman that wouldn't wantto go anywhere with a Lady whose Lid was Tacky. Possibly he would be willingto Stake her to a Hat.

"What would the Hat come to?" asked Uncle Brewster, somewhat Leary.

"Only Fourteen Dollars," she replied.

"I'll Think it Over," quote Uncle Brewster, in a choking Voice, and he was soGroggy he walked into the Elevator instead of going out the Street Door.

A little while later Uncle Brewster met an Acquaintance who gave him aComplimentary Badge to the Races. He walked out to the Track, so as tomake the Expense as Reasonable as possible.

As soon as he was in the Ring a Tout took him back of a Hot Sausage Boothand told him not to Give it Out, but Green Pill in the First Race was sure toWin as far as a man could throw an Anvil, and to hurry and get a Piece ofMoney on. Uncle Brewster looked at the Entries and began to Quiver. Hewished that Doc Jimmison could be there to advise him. Green Pill was 30 to

1, and the Tout had his information from a Stable Boy that slept with theHorse.

A Reckless Spirit seized Uncle Brewster. He said he would take a Chanceeven if he didn't know for Sure that he would win. So he walked up to aBookie and said to him: "I want to Bet Fifty Cents on Green Pill, and this is aDollar here, so you want to give me Fifty Cents Change."

Whereupon the Bookie told him to Back Up and Fade and do a DisappearingSpecialty.

Uncle Brewster Escaped and found himself at a Bar. He decided that hewould take a Drink, because he wouldn't be Home until next Day and by thattime it would be off his Breath.

So he laid his Bosom against the Brass Railing and said to the Man in White,"You might as well draw me a Glass of Beer."

"We've got it in Bottles," said the Barkeep, regarding Uncle Brewster withouta sign of Enthusiasm.

"What do you git for a Bottle?" asked Uncle Brewster.

"Twenty Cents," was the Reply of the Liquor Clerk.

"Keep it," said Uncle Brewster.

Perceiving that the Race-Track was in the hands of Gougers, Uncle Brewsterwalked back to the Hotel. By that Time his New Shoes had crippled him, andhe decided to take the Afternoon Train for home instead of Waiting Over.

That Evening he was back at his own Fireside, with the Bunged-Up Feetresting in Carpet Slippers. As he sat and read the Poultry Magazine, AuntMehely looked at him sidewise, and full of Suspicion said, "I s'pose you justPlayed Hob there in the City."

And Uncle Brewster replied as follows: "No, Mother, I didn't Drink and I didn'tgamble. I didn't do Nothin'not even go to a Theater."

And as he spoke an Aureole of Virtue seemed to curdle above him, while hisCountenance bore an Expression of Placid Triumph, which meant that he wasthe real Asbestos Paragon who had been tried in the Furnace and declaredNon-Combustible.

MORAL: Some People are good because it comes high to be Otherwise.

A MOONLIGHT FABLEBy: H. G. Wells

The following story is reprinted from The Door in the Wall and Other Stories. H. G. Wells. NewYork: Mitchell Kennerley, 1911.

There was once a little man whose mother made him a beautiful suit ofclothes. It was green and gold and woven so that I cannot describe howdelicate and fine it was, and there was a tie of orange fluffiness that tied upunder his chin. And the buttons in their newness shone like stars. He wasproud and pleased by his suit beyond measure, and stood before the longlooking-glass when first he put it on, so astonished and delighted with it thathe could hardly turn himself away.

Ada sekali se orang kecil ibu siapa membuat dia suatu pakaian yang indah/cantik dari pakaian. Itu hijaudan emas dan menenun sehingga aku tidak bisa menguraikan itu betapa bagus dan enak/bagus adalah,dan di sana adalah suatu dasi dari jeruk fluffiness bahwa mengikat di bawah dagu nya. Dan tombol-tombol di dalam corak baru mereka bersinar seperti bintang-bintang. Ia bangga/sombong danmenyenangkan oleh pakaian luar biasa nya, dan berdiri di hadapan cermin yang panjang(lama ketikayang pertama ia menuliskannya di, sangat yang dikejutkan dan yang digembirakan dengannya sehinggaia bisa dengan susah menolak dirinya.

He wanted to wear it everywhere and show it to all sorts of people. Hethought over all the places he had ever visited and all the scenes he hadever heard described, and tried to imagine what the feel of it would be if hewere to go now to those scenes and places wearing his shining suit, and hewanted to go out forthwith into the long grass and the hot sunshine of themeadow wearing it. Just to wear it! But his mother told him, "No." She toldhim he must take great care of his suit, for never would he have anothernearly so fine; he must save it and save it and only wear it on rare and greatoccasions. It was his wedding suit, she said. And she took his buttons andtwisted them up with tissue paper for fear their bright newness should be

tarnished, and she tacked little guards over the cuffs and elbows andwherever the suit was most likely to come to harm. He hated and resistedthese things, but what could he do? And at last her warnings and persuasionshad effect and he consented to take off his beautiful suit and fold it into itsproper creases and put it away. It was almost as though he gave it up again.But he was always thinking of wearing it and of the supreme occasion whensome day it might be worn without the guards, without the tissue paper onthe buttons, utterly and delightfully, never caring, beautiful beyond measure.

Ia ingin memakai nya di mana-mana dan menunjukkan kepada segala rupa orang. Ia mempertimbangkansemua tempat yang ia telah pernah; selalu mengunjungi dan semua [peristiwa; pemandangan] yang iatelah pernah; selalu mendengar menggambarkan, dan mencoba untuk membayangkan meraba-raba nya

jika ia pergi sekarang ke itu [peristiwa; pemandangan] dan tempat-tempat yang memakai pakaian kilauannya, dan ia ingin keluar dengan segera ke dalam rumput yang panjang(lama dan sinar matahari yangpanas dari padang rumput yang memakai nya. Hanya untuk memakai nya! Tetapi ibu nya mengatakankepada dia, "Tanpa." Dia mengatakan kepada dia ia harus mengambil besar dengan alamat pakaian nya,karena tidak akan pernah ia mempunyai yang lain hampir sangat bagus; ia harus selamatkan nya danselamatkan nya dan hanya itu pakaian(pengausan di jarang dan saat-saat besar. Itu adalah pakaianpernikahan nya, dia berkata. Dan dia mengambil?membutuhkan tombol-tombol nya dan atas merekaterpelekok dengan kertas tisu karena takut corak baru mereka yang terang/cerdas harus dipudarkan, dandia pengawal-pengawal kecil tacked (di) atas lipatan lengan dan siku-siku dan di mana saja pakaian itudatang hampir bisa dipastikan untuk merugikan. Ia membenci dan menentang berbagai hal ini, tetapi apabisa ia ?Dan pada akhirnya peringatan-peringatan nya dan pendekatan-pendekatan mempunyaipengaruh dan ia menyetujui untuk membuka itu pakaian dan [kali] lipatan indah/cantik nya ke dalamlipatan-lipatan nya yang yang tepat dan menuliskannya jauhnya. Itu hampir seolah-olah ia memberi nyaatas lagi; kembali. Tetapi ia selalu memikirkan memakai nya dan [tentang] yang tertinggi menyebabkan

ketika suatu hari itu bisa dikenakan/dekil tanpa pengawal-pengawal, tanpa kertas tisu di tombol-tombol,sama sekali dan dengan gembira, jangan pernah mempedulikan, luar biasa indah/cantik.

One night when he was dreaming of it, after his habit, he dreamed he tookthe tissue paper from one of the buttons and found its brightness a littlefaded, and that distressed him mightily in his dream. He polished the poorfaded button and polished it, and if anything it grew duller. He woke up andlaid awake thinking of the brightness a little dulled and wondering how hewould feel if perhaps when the great occasion (whatever it might be) should


5/18

arrive, one button should chance to be ever so little short of its first glitteringfreshness, and for days and days that thought remained with him,distressingly. And when next his mother let him wear his suit, he wastempted and nearly gave way to the temptation just to fumble off one littlebit of tissue paper and see if indeed the buttons were keeping as bright as

ever.Pada suatu malam ketika ia sedang mencita-citakan nya, setelah kebiasaan nya, ia bermimpi iamengambil?membutuhkan kertas tisu dari salah satu [dari] tombol-tombol dan menemukan terang nyasuatu yang kecil memudar, dan bahwa menyusahkan dia dengan kuat di dalam mimpi nya. Ia menyemirtombol usang lemah(miskin dan menyemir nya, dan jika tidak demikian itu tumbuh lebih tumpul. Iabangun dan meletakkan terjaga memikirkan terang suatu dulled yang kecil dan merasa ragu bagaimanaia akan merasakan jika barangkali ketika kesempatan yang besar (apapun juga [yang] itu bisa )perlu tiba,satu tombol perlu kebetulan adalah sedikit sekali kekurangan kesegaran bercahaya nya yang pertama,dan berhari-hari dan hari-hari bahwa pemikiran tinggal dengan dia, secara menyusahkan. Dan ketika ibuyang berikutnya nya biarkan dia memakai pakaian nya, iadigoda dan hampir mengalah kepada godaanhanya untuk meraba-raba batal satu sedikit dari kertas tisu dan melihat jika sungguh tombol-tombol itusedang memelihara sama yang terang/cerdas seperti pernah; selalu.

He went trimly along on his way to church full of this wild desire. For you

must know his mother did, with repeated and careful warnings, let him wearhis suit at times, on Sundays, for example, to and fro from church, whenthere was no threatening of rain, no dust nor anything to injure it, with itsbuttons covered and its protections tacked upon it and a sunshade in hishand to shadow it if there seemed too strong a sunlight for its colors. Andalways, after such occasions, he brushed it over and folded it exquisitely asshe had taught him, and put it away again.

Ia pergi secara garis hiasan sepanjang dalam perjalanan nya kepada gereja penuh dengan keinginan liarini. Karena anda harus mengetahui ibu nya lakukan, dengan yang diulangi dan peringatan-peringatanhati-hati, biarkan dia memakai pakaian nya kadang-kadang, Pada Hari-Hari Minggu, sebagai contoh,mondar mandir dari gereja, ketika tidak ada ancaman hujan, tanpa debu maupun apapun untuk

melukai/merugikan nya, dengan tombol-tombol nya mencakup dan perlindungan-perlindungan tacked nyadi atas nya dan suatu pelindung sinar matahari di dalam tangan nya kepada itu bayangan jika di sananampak terlalu kuat suatu cahaya matahari untuk warna-warna nya. Dan selalu, setelah saat-saat sepertiitu, ia itu brushed (di) atas dan melipat nya secara elok seperti(ketika dia telah mengajar dia, danmenuliskannya pergi lagi; kembali.

Now all these restrictions his mother set to the wearing of his suit he obeyed,always he obeyed them, until one strange night he woke up and saw themoonlight shining outside his window. It seemed to him the moonlight wasnot common moonlight, nor the night a common night, and for a while he layquite drowsily with this odd persuasion in his mind. Thought joined on tothought like things that whisper warmly in the shadows. Then he sat up in hislittle bed suddenly, very alert, with his heart beating very fast and a quiver inhis body from top to toe. He had made up his mind. He knew now that hewas going to wear his suit as it should be worn. He had no doubt in thematter. He was afraid, terribly afraid, but glad, glad.

Sekarang semua ibu pembatasan nya ini yang di-set kepada memakai pakaian nya, ia patuh, selalu iamematuhi mereka, sampai nya malam asing/aneh ia bangun dan gergaji jendela kilauan sinar bulan luarnya. Itu sepertinya akan dia sinar bulan itu bukan sinar bulan umum, maupun malam suatu malam yangumum, dan sebentar ia meletakkan sungguh dengan setengah mengantuk dengan pendekatan yanganeh ini di dalam pikiran nya. Pemikiran gabung[kan ke atas memikirkan seperti berbagai hal bahwa


6/18

membisikkan dengan hangat di dalam bayangan-bayangan. Lalu ia duduk di dalam tempat tidur kecil nyatiba-tiba, sangat siaga, dengan pukulan [hati/jantung] sangat cepat nya dan suatu tempat anak panah didalam dari atas sampai ke bawah tubuh nya. Ia telah menyusun pikiran nya. Ia mengetahui sejak ia akanmemakai pakaian nya karena harus dikenakan/dekil. Ia tidak punya keraguan di dalam perihal. Iaketakutan, sangat ketakutan, hanya gembira, gembira.

He got out of his bed and stood a moment by the window looking at the

moonshine-flooded garden and trembling at the thing he meant to do. Theair was full of a minute clamor of crickets and murmurings, of theinfinitesimal shouting of little living things. He went very gently across thecreaking boards, for fear that he might wake the sleeping house, to the bigdark clothes-press wherein his beautiful suit lay folded, and he took it outgarment by garment and softly and very eagerly tore off its tissue-papercovering and its tacked protections, until there it was, perfect and delightfulas he had seen it when first his mother had given it to him--a long time itseemed ago. Not a button had tarnished, not a thread had faded on this dearsuit of his; he was glad enough for weeping as in a noiseless hurry he put iton. And then back he went, soft and quick, to the window and looked out

upon the garden and stood there for a minute, shining in the moonlight, withhis buttons twinkling like stars, before he got out on the sill and, making aslittle of a rustling as he could, clambered down to the garden path below. Hestood before his mother's house, and it was white and nearly as plain as byday, with every window-blind but his own shut like an eye that sleeps. Thetrees cast still shadows like intricate black lace upon the wall.

Ia keluar dari tempat tidur nya dan berdiri sebentar oleh jendela memperhatikan minuman keras dibuatsecara gelap membanjiri kebun dan menggigil di hal yang ia bermaksud/arti untuk lakukan. Angkasaadalah penuh dengan satu suara rikut menit dari jengkerik/permainan kriket dan berbisik, sorak-soraiyang kecil sekali makhluk hidup yang kecil. Ia pergi sangat dengan lemah-lembut ke seberang berkeretak[papan/meja]-[papan/meja], kalau-kalau ia mungkin bangun tidur rumah, untuk pakaian gelap besar tekandalam mana pakaian indah/cantik nya meletakkan dilipat, dan ia mengambil?membutuhkan nya ke luarpakaian oleh pakaian dan pelan-pelan dan sangat dengan bernafsu mencabut perlindungan kertas halusnya dan perlindungan-perlindungan nya yang tacked, sampai di sana itu adalah, menyempurnakan danmenyenangkan seperti ia telah melihat nya ketika ibu yang pertama nya telah memberi nya ke(pada lamahim--a yang nampak yang lalu. Bukan suatu tombol telah memudarkan, bukan suatu benang/ulir telahmemudar di pakaian yang menyayangi ini dari miliknya; ia gembira cukup karena menangis seperti disuatu yang tidak bersuara cepat-cepat ia menuliskannya di. Dan lalu kembali ia pergi, lembut dan cepat,ke(pada jendela dan memeriksa atas kebun dan berdiri ke sana untuk sebentar, bersinar di dalam sinarbulan, dengan tombol-tombol nya yang berkelip seperti bintang-bintang, sebelum iamenerbitkan/meminjam di ambang dan, membuat sebagai kecilnya dari suatu berdesir seperti(ketika iabisa, dipanjat hingga [menuju] ke alur kebun di bawah. Ia berdiri di hadapan rumah ibu nya, dan itu putihdan hampir sama dataran seperti siang hari, dengan setiap jendela buta[kan tetapi nya sendiri yang yangditutup seperti satu mata bahwa tidur. Pohon-pohon melempar bayangan-bayangan keheningan sepertirenda hitam yang kompleks atas tembok [kota.

The garden in the moonlight was very different from the garden by day;moonshine was tangled in the hedges and stretched in phantom cobwebsfrom spray to spray. Every flower was gleaming white or crimson black, andthe air was aquiver with the threading of small crickets and nightingalessinging unseen in the depths of the trees.

Kebun di dalam sinar bulan itu sangat berbeda dari kebun siang hari; minuman keras dibuat secara gelapdibuat binggung di dalam pagar-pagar dan meregangkan di dalam sarang laba-laba hantu dari percikanke percikan. Setiap bunga sekilas putih atau merah padam hitam, dan angkasa menggigil dengan


7/18

penguliran nyanyian jengkerik/permainan kriket dan burung bulbul kecil yang tidak kelihatan di dalamkerendahan dari pohon-pohon.

There was no darkness in the world, but only warm, mysterious shadows;and all the leaves and spikes were edged and lined with iridescent jewels ofdew. The night was warmer than any night had ever been, the heavens by

some miracle at once vaster and nearer, and spite of the great ivory-tintedmoon that ruled the world, the sky was full of stars.

Tidak ada kegelapan di dalam dunia, tetapi hanya hangat, bayangan-bayangan misterius; dan semuadaun-daun dan sepatu lari dibingkai dan yang dilapisi dengan permata-permata yang berwarna-warni dariembun. Malam itu lebih hangat dibanding setiap malam mempunyai pernah; selalu ,lapisan-lapisan langitoleh beberapa mukjizat dengan segera sangat banyak dan lebih dekat, dan kedengkian dari gading yangbesar mewarnai bulan bahwa menguasai dunia, langit adalah penuh dengan bintang-bintang.

The little man did not shout nor sing for all his infinite gladness. He stood fora time like one awe-stricken, and then, with a queer small cry and holdingout his arms, he ran out as if he would embrace at once the whole warmround immensity of the world. He did not follow the neat set paths that cutthe garden squarely, but thrust across the beds and through the wet, tall,scented herbs, through the night stock and the nicotine and the clusters ofphantom white mallow flowers and through the thickets of southern-woodand lavender, and knee-deep across a wide space of mignonette. He came tothe great hedge and he thrust his way through it, and though the thorns ofthe brambles scored him deeply and tore threads from his wonderful suit,and though burs and goose grass and havers caught and clung to him, he didnot care. He did not care, for he knew it was all part of the wearing for whichhe had longed. "I am glad I put on my suit," he said; "I am glad I wore mysuit."

Orang kecil itu tidak bersorak maupun bernyanyi untuk semua kegembiraan yang tanpa batas nya. Iamewakili satu waktu seperti satu perasaan kagum, yang melanda, dan lalu, dengan suatu tangis kecilyang aneh dan bertahan lengan nya, ia berlari(menjalankan ke luar seolah-olah ia akan memeluk;menganut dengan segera keseluruhan kebesaran tak terhingga putaran yang hangat dunia. Ia tidakmengikuti alur-alur yang di-set rapi bahwa potong kebun secara jujur, tetapi menusukkan ke seberangtempat tidur dan melalui basah, jangkung, tumbuh-tumbuhan bumbu yang diberi wewangian, melaluibursa/stock malam dan nikotin dan seikat-seikat dari tumbuhan mallow hantu putih berbunga dan melaluisemak belukar dari kayu selatan dan lembayung muda, dan setinggi lutut ke seberang suatu ruang(spasiyang lebar/luas dari sejenis tumbuhan berbunga. Ia datang ke pagar yang besar dan ia menusukperjalanan nya nya(itu, dan meskipun [demikian] semak duri dari sejenis semak berduri mengumpulkannilai dia sangat dan menyobek benang/ulir-benang/ulir dari pakaian yang luar biasa nya, dan meskipun[demikian] rumput duri kecil dan angsa dan havers menangkap dan bertaut pada dia, ia tidakmempedulikan. Ia tidak mempedulikan, karena ia mengetahui nya adalah semua bagian dari memakai dimana ia telah merindukan. "Aku gembira aku mengenakan pakaian ku," ia berkata; "Aku gembira akumengenakan pakaian ku."

Beyond the hedge he came to the duck-pond, or at least to what was theduck-pond by day. But by night it was a great bowl of silver moonshine allnoisy with singing frogs, of wonderful silver moonshine twisted and clottedwith strange patterning, and the little man ran down into its waters betweenthe thin black rushes, knee-deep and waist-deep and to his shoulders,smiting the water to black and shining wavelets with either hand, swayingand shivering wavelets, amid which the stars were netted in the tangled


8/18

reflections of the brooding trees upon the bank. He waded until he swam,and so he crossed the pond and came out upon the other side, trailing, as itseemed to him, not duckweed, but very silver in long, clinging, drippingmasses. And up he went through the transfigured tangles of the willow-herband the uncut seeding grass of the farther bank. And so he came glad and

breathless into the highroad. "I am glad," he said, "beyond measure, that Ihad clothes that fitted this occasion."

Di luar pagar ia datang ke itik, kolam, atau sedikitnya kepada apa yang merupakan kolam itik siang hari.Tetapi di waktu malam hari itu adalah suatu mangkuk/pasu yang besar dari minuman keras dibuat secaragelap perak semua yang ribut dengan kodok-kodok nyanyian, dari minuman keras dibuat secara gelapperak yang luar biasa membelit dan clotted dengan pola yang asing/aneh, dan orang kecil melemah kedalam perairan nya antara kesibukan-kesibukan kurus hitam, setinggi pinggang dan setinggi lutut danuntuk bahu-bahu nya, memukul air itu kepada yang hitam dan bersinar koncah-koncah dengan yangmanapun tangan, mengayunkan/ berayun dan menggigil koncah-koncah, di antara yang mana bintang-bintang dijaring di dalam cerminan/pemantulan-cerminan/pemantulan yang dibuat binggung pohon-pohonyang jeli atas bank. Ia menyeberangi?menyeberangi(berusaha dengan susah payah sampai ia berenang,dengan demikian ia menyeberang kolam dan muncul dari seberang, seret, karena sepertinya akan dia,bukan yang duckweed, tetapi sangat perak di dalam panjang(lama, melekat, meneteskan massa. Dan

atas ia melewati kekusutan-kekusutan yang dirubah rupa dari tanaman/jamu pohon willow dan rumputpersemaian yang belum dipangkas dari bank yang lebih jauh. Dengan demikian ia datang sesak napasdan gembira ke dalam highroad. "Aku gembira," ia berkata, "luar biasa, bahwa aku telah pakaian bahwamencoba kesempatan ini."

The highroad ran straight as arrow flies, straight into the deep blue pit of skybeneath the moon, a white and shining road between the singingnightingales, and along it he went, running now and leaping, and nowwalking and rejoicing, in the clothes his mother had made for him withtireless, loving hands. The road was deep in dust, but that for him was onlysoft whiteness, and as he went a great dim moth came fluttering round hiswet and shimmering and hastening figure. At first he did not heed the moth,

and then he waved his hands at it and made a sort of dance with it as itcircled round his head. "Soft moth!" he cried, "dear moth! And wonderfulnight, wonderful night of the world! Do you think my clothes are beautiful,dear moth? As beautiful as your scales and all this silver vesture of the earthand sky?"

Highroad berlari(menjalankan lurus ketika panah terbang, lurus ke dalam lubang(galian kecil yangkebiruan dari langit di bawah bulan, suatu yang putih dan bersinar jalan antara burung bulbul nyanyian,dan sepanjang itu yang ia pergi, berlari/menjalankan sekarang dan melompat, dan sekarang berjalan dangembira, di dalam pakaian, ibu nya telah buat untuk dia dengan tangan-tangan yang tak kunjung letih,penuh kasih. Jalan itu adalah asyik debu, tetapi bahwa karena dia hanya sifat putih yang lembut, danketika ia pergi suatu ngengat suram/samar yang besar datang pengibaran [membulatkan/ mengelilingi]basah nya dan gemerlapan dan figur persegeraan. Pada mulanya ia tidak memperhatikan ngengat, danlalu ia melambai tangan-tangan nya pada itu dan membuat sejenis tarian dengannya karena melingkari[membulatkan/ mengelilingi] kepala nya. "Ngengat lembut!" ia menangis?berteriak, "ngengat menyayangi!Dan malam yang luar biasa, malam yang luar biasa dunia! Apakah Anda berpikir pakaian ku bersifatngengat indah/cantik, menyayangi? Sama timbangan indah/cantik mu seperti dan semua yang pakaianperak dari ini bumi dan langit?"

And the moth circled closer and closer until at last its velvet wings justbrushed his lips . . . . .


9/18

And next morning they found him dead with his neck broken in the bottom ofthe stone pit, with his beautiful clothes a little bloody and foul and stainedwith the duckweed from the pond. But his face was a face of such happinessthat, had you seen it, you would have understood indeed how that he haddied happy, never knowing the cool and streaming silver for the duckweed in

the pond.Dan ngengat melingkari semakin dekat dan semakin dekat sampai pada akhirnya sayap-sayap beludrunya hanya brushed bibir-bibir nya . . . . .

Dan pagi berikutnya mereka menemukan dia mati dengan leher nya masuk secara paksa alas/pantat darilubang(galian kecil batu, dengan pakaian indah/cantik nya suatu berdarah yang kecil dan kecurangan danstained dengan yang duckweed dari kolam. Tetapi muka nya adalah suatu muka dari kebahagiaan, ituseperti itu, telah anda melihat nya, anda pasti telah memahami sungguh bagaimana bahwa ia telahmeninggal berbahagia, jangan pernah mengetahui dingin[kan dan perak pengaliran untuk yang duckweeddi dalam kolam.

THE ORIGIN OF LAKE TOBABy: Marguerite Siek

In north Sumatra there is a lake which is said to be the largest lake in

Southeast Asia and one of the deepest in the world. It lies 900 meters above

sea-level and is surrounded by pine-covered beaches, high cliffs, and Steep

Mountain slopes. This famous lake is called Lake Toba, the birthplace of the

Batak people. Here is a story which tells how the lake was formed.

A long time ago, there was a fisherman called Batara Guru Sahala. Day

after day he rowed his boat in the river, spread his net in the water, and if he

was lucky, he would catch fish which he would sell for his living. There where

10/18

times, however, when he was unlucky and his net would remain empty. Then

the young man had very little food.

One day, Batara Guru Sahala was fishing as usual. He had been

working for hours, but not a single fish had come into his net. The hot

weather made the young man feel tired, his head nodded and he feel asleep.Suddenly, a sharp pull4 on his net woke him up.

That mush be a big fish, he said to himself, bringing the net in. Sure

enough, caught in the net was a huge silvery fish. The young man pulled the

fish up into his boat and decided to take it home immediately. This will bring

mea good price, he said happily.

Batara Guru Sahala pulled the heavy fish to his hut and put it in a

corner. Then he went out to get some wood in order to light the stove. He

had not eaten since the early morning so he felt hungry and wanted to cook

some rice. When he came back to his hut some time later, he saw to his

surprise that the fish had gone. Who would have taken it?

Batara Guru Sahala, dont look for the fish, he suddenly heard a soft

voice saying. The young man turned around and saw a beautiful girl standing

in the corner of the room.

Who are you? he asked.

I was the fish you caught. A magician once taught me a spell that

would change me into a human if I was unlucky enough to be caught, said

the young girl. She was so beautiful that Batara Guru Sahala fell in love with

her immediately. He asked her to marry him and she said, I will stay with

you and be your wife on one condition. Dont tell anybody about my origin,

not even our children. Batara Guru Sahala agreed and so the two were

married.

After his marriage, the young fisherman never came home empty

handed. Every day his nets were full, and soon he was able to build a bigger

and better house for himself and his wife. Then one day a boy was born, andthe year after, a girl. Batara Guru Sahala never told anyone that his wife had

once been a fish. In fact, he himself often forgot about it. The boy and girl

grew up and soon they were able to help their parents.

Once day, Batara Guru Sahala went fishing at the side of the river as

usual. The day was very hot, and at noon he felt both thirsty and hungry.


11/18

Impatiently, he waited for his children to bring him his lunch. When they did

not come at the usual time, Batara Guru Sahala decided to look for them. He

was worried that they might have had an accident.

The boy and girl had come to the river as usual. The boy was carrying

a parcel of rice, vegetable and meat, and the girl had and earthen jug withfresh, cool water. It was very hot that day and the two children had a long

way to go. I m so thirsty, brother, said the little girl.I wish I could have a

drink from his jug. Just a mouthful would do.

And Im hungry, said the boy. I wish I could have a little bit of

fathers rice and vegetable, After walking a bit further, the boy said, lets

take a little bit of fathers food. I dont think hell notice.

The children knew that they were not allowed to take their parents

food. Because among the Batak people children were forbidden to touch the

food intended for their parents. But they were very young and they forgot

about this rule. So they sat down by the side of the road and ate a little of

the rice and each drank a mouthful of water from the jug. And that is what

they were doing when Batara Guru Sahala found them.

In his anger, he forgot the promise he had made to his wife so many

years ago. He lifted his hand and hit both the children. You greedy, Lazy fish

children! He shouted. Crying, the frightened children ran home to tell

their mother.

When Batar guru Sahala came home that afternoon, he found the hutempty. He could not see his wife and children anywhere. He looked for them

everywhere; he called their names many times. Finallyhe went back to river

bank. And there he saw his wife facing the river, her hands stretched out

over the water and her head lifted to the sky.

Batara Guru Sahala ran towards her and asked her to forgive him, but

his wife did not listen. He had broken his promise and now she had to go

back to her home in the river. She sang to the waters, and under her spell

the water rose. A storm broke over the land and the river. Rain poured

heavily from the heavens, and the water rose and rose. Soon it swept overthe river banks, covering the land, the houses, the tress where before

there was a village; there was now a huge lake.

Batara Guru Sahala and his wife and children were changed into fish.

And to his day the people who live around Lake Toba believe that the fish in

the lake are the descendants of Batara Guru Sahala and his wife
