The Story
La Ndoke-ndoke Te Manu
Once upon a time, there lived a
monkey and a cock. They were friends. The monkey lived near by the cock. One
day, they took a walk. They enjoyed the walk very much. It makes them forgot
the time. When they realize, the sun was already about to set. Then the monkey
realized that he hadn’t eat anything since morning. He suddenly felt very
hungry. At the time, there was no food around them. The monkey could only see
the cock as a food for him. Then he catch the cock. He took away the cock’s
feather. Lucky for the cock, he was strong enough to escape from the monkey. He
ran away from the monkey. He went to his best friend, a crape. In the crape’s
house, he told the crape what the monkey had done to him. The crape then help
him to grew back his feather. The cock couldn’t accept what the monkey had done
to him. He wanted to take a revenge on him. He told the crape about his
willing. They decided to make a plan for the monkey. They planned to make a
boat from land. They wanted to invite the monkey to go with them to the island
across the sea. They will told the monkey that there’s a lot of fruits in that
island. When he got the invitation, the monkey was very happy. He thought that
he would get many fruits in that island, while his two friends would just watch
him eat the fruits because they couldn’t climb tree. In the mean day, the cock,
together with his best friend and the monkey, went to the island. In the middle
of the sea, the cock perforated the floor of the boat. When the boat was field
of water and was about to sink, the cock fly to the sea shore. The crape jumped
into the sea and swam to the land. The poor monkey couldn’t fly nor swim. So he
died in the middle of the sea.
Intrinsic Unsure
1. Theme
The
story is about friendship and loyality.
2. Characters
Ø
The
Monkey
Monkey has a
characteristic of greedy. He is selfish and a little bit stupid. He is also
careless. As we can see in the text, the monkey was only care about his food.
Even he almost kill his friend for food.
Ø
The
Cock
The cock was a
picture of fairness. He was a typical of a good one. However, he wouldn’t let
anyone to do anything to him. He wouldn’t just take it when someone did
anything bad to him.
Ø
The
Crape
The Crape was a
picture of a good friend but not a very good friend. A good friend should have
told his friend not to do anything bad to other person, or in this case to other
animal, even in the name of “revenge”.
3. Setting
The
setting of the place of the story was in the wood near the sea shore. Monkey is
an animal that generally lived in the wood and a crape is normally lived near
the sea or in the sea shore. The time of the events in the story mostly in the
day and afternoon.
4. Point of view
The
point of view that the author used to write the story is the “first person”.
5. Plot
The
story can be classified into some part. The first part was the exposition. In
this part the author introduce the characters of the story. In the summary above
the exposition was in the first and the second sentence. The next part of the
plot is the rising action or conflict. The conflict started when the monkey
tried to eat the cock. The next part is the climax of the story. The climax is
when the cock told the crape about what happened to him and planned to take a
revenged. The falling action was when the cock and the crape invited the monkey
to go to another island. The denouement of the story was the end of the story.
That was when the monkey died in the middle of the sea.
6. Impression
What
happened among the characters in the story is actually a reality in a real
society. In the story, the monkey intended to kill his friend for eating. In
real society we would find a man/woman betrayed or even kill his friend for money,
job, authority, or woman.
7. Message
What
we could learn from this story is that we can’t underestimate someone because
he couldn’t do the thing we could. We should never forget that everybody has
their own ability.
