KERA JADI RAJA (APE TO BE KING)

Sang Raja hutan "Singa" ditembak pemburu, penghuni hutan rimba jadi gelisah. Mereka tidak mempunyai Raja lagi. Tak berapa lama seluruh penghuni hutan rimba berkumpul untuk memilih Raja yang baru. Pertama yang dicalonkan yaitu Macan Tutul, tetapi macan tutul menolak. "Jangan, melihat insan saja gua sudah lari tunggang langgang," ujarnya. "Kalau begitu Badak saja, kau kan amat kuat," kata binatang lain. "Tidak-tidak, penglihatanku kurang baik, gua telah menabrak pohon berkali-kali." "Oh! mungkin Gajah saja yang jadi Raja, tubuh kau kan besar..", ujar binatang-binatang lain. "Aku tidak mampu tubruk dan gerakanku amat lambat," sahut gajah. Binatang-binatang menjadi bingung, mereka belum menemukan raja pengganti. Ketika hendak bubar, tiba-tiba simpanse berteriak, "Manusia saja yang menjadi raja, ia kan yang sudah membunuh Singa". "Tidak mungkin," jawab tupai. "Coba kalian semua perhatikan aku, gua menyerupai dengan insan bukan?, maka akulah yang cocok menjadi raja," ujar kera. Setelah melalui perundingan, penghuni hutan sepakat Kera menjadi raja yang baru. Setelah diangkat menjadi raja, tingkah laku Kera sama sekali tidak menyerupai Raja. Kerjanya hanya bermalas-malasan sambil menyantap makanan yang lezat-lezat. Penghuni binatang menjadi kesal, terutama srigala. Srigala berpikir, "bagaimana si simpanse mampu menyamakan dirinya dengan insan ya?, badannya saja yang sama, tetapi otaknya tidak". Srigala mendapat ide. Suatu hari, ia menghadap kera. "Tuanku, saya menemukan makanan yang amat lezat, saya yakin tuanku pasti suka. Saya akan antarkan tuan ke kawasan itu," ujar srigala. Tanpa pikir panjang, kera, si Raja yang gres pergi bersama srigala. Di tengah hutan, teronggok buah-buahan kesukaan kera. Kera yang tamak eksklusif menyergap buah-buahan itu. Ternyata, si simpanse eksklusif terjeblos ke dalam tanah. Makanan yang disergapnya ternyata jebakan yang dibuat manusia. "Tolong! tolong," teriak kera, sambil berjuang keras semoga mampu keluar dari perangkap. "Hahahaha! Tak pernah kubayangkan, seorang raja mampu berlaku bodoh, terjebak dalam perangkap yang dipasang manusia, Raja menyerupai simpanse mana mampu melindungi rakyatnya," ujar srigala dan binatang lainnya. Tak berapa lama setelah binatang-binatang meninggalkan kera, seorang pemburu datang ke kawasan itu. Melihat ada simpanse di dalamnya, ia eksklusif membawa tangkapannya ke rumah. HIKMAH :Perlakukanlah teman-teman kita dengan baik, janganlah sombong dan bermalas-malasan. Jika kita sombong dan memperlakukan teman-teman semena- mena, nantinya kita akan kehilangan mereka
