Musim Hujan

O/eh Stevanus Nauw

Pada suatu hari, hujan turun dari pagi-pagi benar sampai sore hari. Di sebuah asrama pelajar

tinggallah tiga anal< laki-Iaki.

Ketiga orang itu bemama Vance, Vahya, dan Otto. Merel<a masih dalam bangl<u

pendidil<an.. Sementara mereka dudul< dan menyanyi, hujan bertambah besar dan juga ada kilat

serta guntur yang hebat. Kemudian mereka beri<ata, uKasihan, kita ini merasa lapar saja di sini,

begini kita punya bapa, mama dorang begini makan di daerah kita Kambuaya di sana. "

Lalu mereka bersiul karena merasa sedih sekali. Ketil<a mereka mengingat kembali kepada

bapadan mama yang tinggal di kampung Kambuaya, mereka menangis .. Pada malam hari mereka

tiga masuk da/am rumah untuk tidur. Mereka tidur saja dengan menahan ke/aparan. Mereka

merasa mau panggil seseorang, tetapi siapa yang kenai mereka dan menyahut, karena di sekitar

itu semua orang tidak kenai mereka. Mereka tidur dengan lapar karena mereka sekolah di negeri

orang di Jayapura.

Singing the Blues in Rainy Season

by Stevanus Nauw

It had been raining all day long. So the three boys were sitting around in their dormitory feeling rather depressed. Their names were Vance, Yahya and Otto. They were students from the interior studying on the coast. But when it rained this hard, they didn't go to class.

So there they sat. They began singing sad songs which made them homesick. Soon the rain was coming down even harder and thunder was booming, which left them feeling even more depressed. To add to that they didn't have any food in the house and so were hungry. It didn't help to think about their families back home, who had plenty to eat. They got so sad they even began crying.

When it got dark they just went to bed hungry and feeling sorry for themselves. They were so lonely 'they only had the birds to talk to'. None of the people living nearby were from their language group. "Why in the world did we ever get so excited about the idea of going to school in town?" they wondered.

Pada Suatu Hari di Musim Kemarau

O/eh Stevanus Nauw

Pada tahun 1982 terjadi musim kemarau yang panjang. Pada waktu itu anak-anak merasa

senang sekali untuk pergi berkemah di hutan serfa pulau-pulau di pinggir danau. Pada waktu itu

ada empat orang laki-Iaki yang bersaudara. Yang tua namanya Obet, yang berikut namanya

Abahbeta, yang berikutnya namanya Yance, lalu yang bungsu namanya Sem. Mereka bermain­

main di siang hari. Obet sedang duduk lalu panggil semua saudara-saudaranya dan berkata kepada

merela, "Sekarang musim kemarau bagus begini, mari kita pergi untuk tidur di Pulau Amin. "

Waktu mendengar itu saudara-saudaranya senang. Lalu yang namanya Abahbeta berkata,

"Ayo, mari, kita pergi!"

Mereka mengambil mereka punya barang-barang dan perlengkapan semua, yaitu: parang,

dua buah belanga untuk masak ikan dan masak betatas,selimut untuk tidur dan lain-Iainnya.

Sesudah barang-~arang tersebut dikumpulkan, mereka semua duduk lagi dan Obet berkata, "Kits

pergi ke Ikuf cari ke/adi, betatas dan juga singkong. Setelah itu kita semua pergi tidur di Pulau

Amin. " Mereka pergi ke Ikuf untuk membawa bahan makannan yang mereka sudah merencanakan

itu.

Lalu mereka berjalan ke Amin. Dalam perjalanan ini Sem berjalan di tengah-tengah mereka

semua. Sampai di danau besar, Sem takut karena dia masih kecil, sedangkan yang lain besar .. Dis

baru melihat danau besar itu lalu dia lari kembali. Begitu mereka melihat Sem merek berkata, "Sem,

4

Sem merek berkata, "Sem, kau jangan takut. Berdiri dulu baru kami pergi bawa barang ini taruh di sebelah

dan kembali untuk dukung kau. n

Mereka ke sebelah dulu untuk taruh barang, kemudian kembali untuk dukung Sem menyebrang

sampai di sebelah danau itu. Mereka ikut pinggiran danau ke atas. Abahbeta berjalan sendiri agak jauh

dari mereka. Dia melihat seekor ikan mas di satu kolam yang sudah kering. Abahbeta memanggil

saudara-saudaranya, "Kamu semua datang, baru kita angkat ikan mas yang ada ini !"

Waldu mereka mendengar itu, mereka senang dan berlari datang. Mereka tangkap ikan di sini

sampai lama. Karena menunggu lama Sem kecil merasa lapar! Lalu dengan merasa lapar dia tidur.

Karena melihat keadaan adik mereka begitu, mereka menjadi takut, karena dia tidur. Karena Sem begitu

berkeringat mereka katakan, "Lihat, mungkin dia lapar ini. "

Mereka berdiri lalu dukung dia ke Amin. Kemudian mereka masak dan kasih dia makan., Mereka

juga makan yang lain. Pada sore hari, mereka memandang matahari yang terbenam di ufuk barat. Saat

terdengar burung satu-satu yang berkicau sangat bagus sekali, mereka merasa sedih ketika mengingat

saudara-saudari mereka yang tinggal di negeri orang yang jauh di kota lain. Obet meniup seruling yang

sangat merdu sekali. Waldu mereka semua mendengar Ober meniup seruling, mereka merasa sedih

karena mengingat kakak-kakak Simson, E/sina, Amelia, Paula, Yuli, Oce, yang tinggal di kota Sorong.

Mereka masih duduk ingat-ingat sampai malam tiba dan mereka pergi tidur sampai pagi hari. Mama dan

bapa datang mencari mereka lalu berdiri panggil mereka. Mereka duduk dan mendengar, lalu berdiri dan

jalan ke bapa dan mama, untuk mereka sama-sama pulang.

The Drought

by Stevanus Nauw

During the drought of 1982 some children wanted to go camping. They were four

brothers. Obet was the eldest, then Abahbeta, Yance and the youngest was named Sem. It was

mid-day and they were relaxing when Obet asked his brothers, "Hey, this is nice dry weather.

Let's go camp out on Amin island tonight!" His brothers all agreed with the idea. So they got-up

and packed a few things they'd need including their machete and a couple of pans in which to

cook fish. They got their things and one of them said, "Lets go to our garden at Ikuf first to get

some taro, sweet potatoes and tapioca root. Then we'll head for Amin island and camp there."

They went by their garden at lkufand got the food they'd need. Then continued on to

Amin. When they came to the big lake, Sem, the youngest got scared. He wanted to tum back and

run away. But they said, "Don't be afraid. We'll go over first and put our stuff down, then we'll

come back and carry you across." They crossed over with the things then returned to carry Sem

across. After crossing, Abahbeta walked along the edge of the lake where the water had receded,

5

while the others climbed the bank and walked along on top. Abahbeta noticed that a lot of carp were

trapped in a pool at the edge of the lake. So he called to his brothers, "Hey, come on down! Here's

our fish! Come and get them!" They were excited to hear this and came running. They caught the

carp with their hands and got sort of carried away. Meanwhile little Sem had gotten hungry and

fallen asleep. It was quite awhile before they noticed him laying there all hot and sweaty. They felt

badly having neglected him. So they picked him up and carried him the rest bf the way to Amin.

There they cooked some food and fed him before eating themselves.

By now it was late afternoon and the sun was sinking below the horizon. And they heard

the lonely call of a bird. They became quite melancholy as they thought of their siblings far

away in the city. They missed Simson, Eisina, Amelia, Paula, Yuli and Oce who now lived

in Sorong. Obet played his flute softly and with feeling until night fell. Then they slept.

The next morning they were awakened by the sound oftheir mother and father calling out in

search of them. They got up and went to meet their parents. And then they all walked back to the

village together.

Mri dan Van Memancing Udang

o/eh Sfevanus Nauw

Pada suatu hari Mri dan om Van duduk di waktu siang hari. Lalu Mri bertanya kepada Van,

"Bagaimana Van, siang ini kami dua tinggal di sin; saja kah?" Lalu Van mengatakan kepada Mri

lagi, "Baru menurut kau bagaimana?" Jawab Mri, "Saya tidak mau tinggal di sini siang hari. "

Tanya Mri kepada Van, "Saya beritahukan sesuatu ini, apakah kau setuju atau tidak?" Kata Van ,

7

"Saya setuju, Om Mri, sampaikan sudah." Kata Mri, "Kami dua pergi memancing udang lagi di mata

air di Haorut dan Semana?" Yan menjawab, "Oke, saya setuju. "

Setelah mendengar perkataan Yan, Mri berkata, "Engkau pergi ambil koba-koba satu, dan

ambil kau punya parang satu lagi bawa kemari.Begitu pun saya lagi pergi ambit saya punya koba­

koba dan parang lagi. Saya pegang baru kami dua jalan." Setelah Yan kembali, mereka mulai

betja/an. Di tengah petja/anan, Yan bertanya kepada Mri, "Nanti kita dua pergi memancing itu,

barang yang kami dua memancing mana?" Mri menjawab, "Barang sudah ada di sana. Keladi atau

umpan dengan tali yang kita tarik udang semua sudah ada di sana. "Kata Yan, "Oke. Saya senang

juga."

Mereka berjalan sampai di kebun yang Mri punya. Mri berkata, "Kami punya keb

un ini. Kau berdiri lalu saya cabut keladi dua. " Mri membawa dua buah keladi tersebut dan

membelahnya menjadi empat bagian sehingga Yan mendapat dua bagian dan Mri mendapat dua

bagian. Mri juga melihat dua helai tali bsin yang bagus. Dia memotong tali bsin menjadi dua bagian

dan berikan satu bagian untuk Yan dan satu bagian untuk dia sendiri. Kemudian mereka sampai di

mata air Horut. Di situ mereka membagi tempat supaya satu orang duduk di satu mata air. Di tiap

mata air, Yan dan Mri mancing udang sendiri-sendiri. Tiba-tiba Yan melihat seekor ular mengejar

kodok masuk di tempat di mana ia sedang memancing. Lalu Yan lari meninggalkan tempat itu.

·Yan, kenapa kau lari?", tanya Mri. Jawab Yan "Ada ular masuk tempat di mana saya sedang

memancing. "

. Karena itu Mri berkata, "Mari kami dua pergi memancing di kali Semana. " Mereka dua

berjalan sampai di Semana. Satu orang duduk di satu mata air memancing. Di tempat itu sangat

banyak udang. Mri dan Yan memancing udang sampai larut malam sebelum mereka pulang.

Mri and Van Fish for Crayfish

by Stevanus Nauw

One day Mri and fan were just silling around. Mri asked fall, "Do YOli want to just sit around?"

Van said; "What do you want to do?" Mri replied saying, "Well, I don't just want to sit here doing nothing! I have

something in mind. Are you going to join me?" Van said, "Well tell me what it is first!" Mri said, "Lets go fish for crayfish at Haorut Spring and Semana Spring." Van said, "Okay, sure!"

8

Mri said, "Okay, then go get your rain-cape and machete and meet me back here. And I'll run get my rain-cape and machete. Then we'll go."

Van returned and they started out walking. Along the way Van spoke up, "What about our fishing gear?"

Mri answered, "Oh, it's already there. I keep some taro for bait and some vine up there."

"Okay." said Van, "It sounds good to me!" They walked along and came to Mri's family garden. "This is our garden." He said.

"You wait here and I'll go pull some taro." He pulled two, and divided them into four pieces; two for each of them. Then Mri saw two vines which would work well. He broke them off giving one to Van and kept one for himself

The two of them arrived at Horat Spring. There they split up and fished individually in different spots so they'd get more crayfish. As Van was sitting there a snake crawled right by him chasing a frog into the water. So Van jumped up and ran.

"What's the matter?" asked Mri. Van answered, "A snake just crawled right by me chasing a frog into the water!"

Since Van was spooked, Mri suggested they move on and try their luck at Semana. There they caught lots of crayfish: Both big ones and little ones. They saw that it was getting late so they decided to get their things and return to the village.

Nov; dan Son; O/eh Stevanus Nauw

Novi punya mama dan bapa mau pergi bakar mereka punya kebun di Insas. Malam itu

semua tidur dan waktu bangun pada pagi hari, Novi melihat bapa dan mama mengambil parang dan

noken. Karena Novi melihat mama dan bapa bersiap-siap untuk pergi, dia bertanya kepada

mereka, -Kamu mau pergi ke mana?" Kata mama dan bapa, uKami mau pergi bakar kebun di kita

punya tempat Insas." Novi dan Soni bertanya, uKami dua ikut lagi kah?" Jawab mama dan bapa,

·Jangan, kamu dua pergi seko/ah dulu di SD Frawaeh. Kalau ka/ian pulang seko/ah, makanlah

10

ke/adi dan makanan yang ada. Setelah itu kalian datang ke tempat yang kami bakar kebun itu. "

Setelah kedua anak itu mendengar perintah orang tua mereka, mereka pergi untuk mandi.

Mereka pakai pakaian seko/ah, mengambil buku dan bolpen, lalu ja/an ke seko/ah. Mereka bela jar

sampai kira-kira jam sepuluh siang. Kemudian mereka keluar seko/ah dan pulang ke rumah

mereka. Waldu mereka sedang makan, Novi memberitahukan sama Soni, "Habis makan, kami dua

pergi sama mama dan bapa, yang sudah ja/an duluan ke kita puya tempat di Insas. ""

Sete/ah mendengar perkataan dari Novi, Soni makan selesai. Lalu Soni ber#<ata kepada

Novi, "Novi, kita dua ja/an sudah. "Mereka berdiri, lalu Soni ber#<ata kepada Novi. "Mari, kau yang

besar jadi ja/an di depan baru saya ikut. " Kemudian Novi berja/an di depan lalu balik ber#<ata sama

Son;, -Kalau saya ja/an di depan, kau harus lari cepat ya! Terus ka/au kau lari, jangan menang;s

ya!- Sampai di pertengahan jalan, mereka mendengar ada seekor burung kontaif ber#<icau. Novi

sudah mendengamya, tetapi ia berja/an saja terus. Tetapi Soni waldu mendengar burung itu

berl<icau, ia tiba-tiba kaget dan merasa takut. Katanya, "Novi dengar barang satu bersuara itu'?"

Novi bementi lalu ber#<ata, "Soni takut kah? Kata Soni, "Va, saya, takut ini." Novi ber#<ata. -Itu

burung kontaif!"

Lalu mereka berja/an terus. Kata Novi, "Soni, coba kau lihat apakah kita punya mama dan bapa

sedang membakar kebun lalu ada asap itu." Kata Soni, "00, Novi, sudah dekat itu!" Mereka

berja/an sampai dekat pinggiran kebun, lalu Novi biar#<an Soni berja/an di depan sedang#<an Novi

dan datang mengangkat dan menyayangi mereka.

Novi and Soni by Stevanus Nauw

One morning Novi woke up and saw her parents gathering their machetes and

carrying bags. "Where are you going?" she asked.

Her parents said, "We're going to burn our garden at Insas." Novi and her brother Soni asked, "May we come too?" But their parents said, "No, you need to go to school first. When school is out, come

home and eat your taro. Then you can follow us to the garden." The two children listened to what their parents said and went to bathe. After putting

on their school clothes and collecting their books and pencils they set off to Fraweh

II

Elementary School. School was out at 10 o'clock. So then they came home and ate. Novi said to Soni,

''Hurry up and eat so we can go join Mom and Dad at the garden_at Insas!" So Soni finished quickly and said, "Okay, I'm done. Let's go" Off they went. And Soni said, '~ovi, you're the oldest, so you lead the way and I'll

follow you." As Novi took the lead she turned and said, "You better keep up, and I don't want to

hear any whining!" They were about halfway there when they heard a friarbird calling in the jungle.

Novi pressed on, but Soni was scared and said, "Yikes, did you hear that?" Novi stopped and said, "Soni, are you scared?" "Uu huh" he answered. "It's just a friarbirdl Let's get going!" After awhile Novi said, "Look our parents are

over there. Can you see the smoke?" Soni saw the smoke and cried, "Yippee! We're almost therel" As they approached the clearing Novi told Soni to go on ahead. Their parents saw

them coming and ran to give them a hug.

Musim Buah-Buahan Oleh Stevanus Nauw

Albertina, Finti, Imanuel dan Fanus adalah empat anak yang bersaudara. Suatu hari pada musim

buah-buahan, mereka keluar kebaktian seko/ah minggu dan pulang ke rumah. Oi situ mereka taruh

mereka punya Alkitab yang mereka pakai sembahyang. Lalu mereka ganti pakaian sekolah minggu.

Mereka mengambil pakaian untuk bermain dan pergi bermain.

Lalu Alber tanya kepada mereka semua, "Mari kita semua pergi panjat kita punya jambu yang . tinggal di Horut dan Semana di sana. " Oorang semua dengar lalu setuju sehingga dia bilang, ·Finti,

pergi bawa kita punya kantong dua buah, supaya kita pergi panjat jambu sudah. "

Waldu Finti dengar apa yang dikatakan oleh Alber, dia pergi mengambil mereka punya kantong

dan membawanya datang sehingga mereka pergi. Alber jalan di depan dan mereka semua ikut dari

belakang.Oi tengah perjalanan Alber melihat ada seekor ular yang orang potong mati lalu tinggal di

tengah jalan. Alber melihat ular itu dan dia jalan lewat saja. Tetapi waktu Imanuel melihat ular yang

13

mati itu, dia merasa takut dan berteriak! Anak-anak yang lain gementar dan bertanya, UBagaimana

Imanuel, barang apa itu?" Kata Iman, U Ular itu, ular itur Tanya Fanus, "Mana?" Iman kasih tunjuk

ular itu dan Alber berkata uUlar itu sudah mati. " Mereka lewaf jalan sampai di Horuf.

Pada suatu ketika Fanus berkata, uMari, kita pergi ke Mays dulu baru kembali untuk memanjat

pohon jambu di Horut. U Mereka pergi ke Mays lalu kembali ke Horut untuk memanjat pohon jambu.

Alber dan Finti menunggu di bawah pohon, lalu Fanus dan Imanuel memanjat satu pohon jambu

merah, lalu satu pohon jambu putih. Setelah mereka mengisi penuh kedua kantong Fanus berkafa,

ulman, pegang kita punya jambu duluan. " Iman pegang

jambu itu dan turun duluan ke bawah. Mereka bi/ang

Fanus juga turun supaya mereka pergi. Tetapi Fanus

melihat ada safu buah jambu yang agak jauh. Jadi ia coba

mendapafkannya. Teman-temannya bilang dari bawah

pohon, uAwas, nanti jatuh!" Tapi dia berkata, uJangan

kamu fakut!" Dia fetap berjalan ferus sampai jambu punya

dahan pafah. Lalu Fanus jatuh dan tersangkut di satu

tempaf. Anak-anak lain takuf dan lari. Tetapi Fanus cuma

pusing dan bangkit berdiri. Anak-anak yang lain kembali

untuk melihaf dia lalu bertanya, uFanus, kau bagaimana?"

Jawab Fanus, uTidak ada apa-apa. Saya cuma pusing

saja. " Waktu mendengar jawaban Fanus feman-temannya

berkata, uKalau begitu, kita pergi ke kamplJng sudah. " Lalu

mereka membawa jambu tersebut pulang.

Fruit Season by Stevanus Nauw

Once their were four children named Alber, Finti, Iman, and Fanus. During the season when the fruit trees were bearing fruit, they joined the others at Sunday School. When it was over they went home, put their Bibles away, and changed out of their nice clothes and put on play clothes. Then they went out to play.

Alber suggested, "Come on! Let's go climb the tree at Horut and get some fruit!" They agreed and said, "Fiti, run get two sacks and we'll go."

So Fiti got the sacks and off they went. Alber took the lead and saw a dead snake on the trail. Someone had killed it. Alber just left it there and passed by. Next came Iman. When he saw the snake he screamed, "Yikes, a snake! A snake!"

"Where?" Asked Fanus. Iman pointed to it. And Alber sait, HIt's dead!"

They passed by and went along to Horut. When they reached Horut Fanus said, "Let's go on and check our garden at Mays first."

14

So they went to check on the garden at Mays and came back to Hornt. When they reached the tree Alber and Finti waited down below~ while Fanus and Iman climbed up. They picked two sackfuls of the red and white fruit. When the sacks were full Fanus said to Iman, "Go ahead and climb down with your fruit first."

Iman got down safely and they called to Fanus to climb down so they could go home. But Fanus saw one more nice fruit way out on a limb. He walked carefully along the branch and the others down below were scared and called out, ''Be careful!"

''Don't worry!" Fanus said. And as he spoke, the branch cracked and came crashing down.

The other kids were terrified and ran off. But luckily, Fanus was just stunned and dizzy. When the others saw him starting to get up they were relieved and came back asking, "Are you okay?"

Fanus was still pretty shook-up and didn't answer. "Well, we all better head back to the village" they said. So they got their fruit and headed for home.

Wrangkyauk Menyelamatkan Seorang Saudara

Oleh Stevanus Nauw

Wrangkyauk mempunyai banyak saudara-saudara. Jumlah mereka sebanyak sebelas orang.

Mereka ini baik semua. Tapi yang bemama Wrangkyauk ini tangannya yang sebelah bengkok.

Setiap kali mereka bermain, mereka tidak mau bermain dengan Wrangkyauk. Waktu mereka tikam­

tikam kayu, Wrangkyauk mau berusaha untuk bermain juga dengan mereka. Tetapi mereka

katakan kepada adik Wrangkyauk yang tangan bengkok ini, aKau pergi sendiri main di sana kah!

Karena tangan sudah tidak baik begitu nanti tikam sesuatu bagaimana?

Pada suatu hari mereka duduk lalu merencanakan bagaimana untuk pergi menjauh dari

Wrangkyauk supaya dia tidak tahu tempat di mana mereka pergi. Sebab selalu Wrangkyauk ikut­

ikutan ke tempat di mana mereka pergi bermain. Mereka duduk lagi untuk membicarakan supaya

pergi mandi di satu kali yang namanya Ifas. Sehingga sekarang mereka pergi ke tempat yang

mereka sudah merencanakan. Namun karena Wrangkyauk duduk dan memperhatikan perjalanan

mereka, dia mau ikut lagi. Tetapi mereka usir dia dengan berkata , "Adik, kau jangan ikut lag;. " Kata

mereka, "Ka/au seandainya tanganmu bagus, berarti kau bisa ikut mandi dan juga bisa berenang.

Tetapi dengan tangan yang kudung begitu nanti tenggelam kah?" Wrangkyauk mendengar

perl<ataan mereka, kemudian mereka berja/an. Tetapi Wrangkyauk ikut dari belakang sehingga

mereka tidak melihat dia. Dia berpikir bahwa nanti bagaimana ka/au dia mandi dengan tangan yang

sudah bengkok. ? Lalu ia berpikir lagi bahwa ka/au begitu ia harus memotong sepenggal kayu untUk

nant; tahan air lalu mandi. Saudara-saudaranya Wrangkyauk sampai di kali. Mereka membuka

semua pakaian mereka, menaruhnya, lalu mereka mandi. Tetapi saudara mereka yang bemama

Mwif masih kecil, dan belum tahu harus membuka pakaiannya dulu. Sehingga dia melompat dengan

paka;annya semua di tengah-tengah air di mana biasa orang tidak mandi. Mereka yang lain melihat

Mwif da/am keadaan begitu mereka katakan, "00, adik Mwif sudah tenggelam. 00, Mwif sudah

tenggelam itu?" Mwif juga katakan, uAduh, saya sudah tenggelam!" Waktu mendengar adik mereka

da/am keadaan yang demikian mereka lari semua.

Lalu datanglah Wrangkyauk dari tempat di mana ia bersembunyi dan membawa sepotong kayu

yang dia sudah potong. Lalu ia meletakkan kayu itu di atas air dan berkata kepada Mwif. "Saudara

Mwif, tolong pegang kayu ini supaya saya tarik kau supaya selamatf"

17

Mwif memegang kayu tersebut, lalu Wrangkyauk menarik adiknya dan membuangnya ke darat.

Wrangkyauk mengangkat Mwif dan memegangnya dengan kakinya ke atas dan kepalanya ke

bawah. Dengan demikian air yang dia sudah minum itu semua keluar. Lalu Wrangkyauk kasih tidur

adiknya sampai dia sadar.

Waldu Mwif sadar dia berkata, GAduh, saya sebenamya tenggelam, tetapi siapa yang to/ong

selamatkan saya ini?" Wrangkyauk berkata, uSaya ini." Mwif sangat senang kepada Wrangkyauk

yang berusaha selamatkan dia, sehingga Mwif berkata, Wrangkyauk, kau selamatkan saya dengan

apa?" Wrangkyauk menjawab, ULihat, kayu ini yang kau pegang sehingga saya berupaya tarik

sampai kau bisa selamat itu. "

Mwif punya saudara-saudara yang tadinya lari tinggalkan dia, kembali datang melihat apakah

Mwif sudah tenggelam dalam air atau tidak. Mereka merasa takut lagi. Mereka lihat dia sedang

duduk dengan Wrangkyauk. Mereka merasa senang sekali dan berlari datang mengangkat Mwif

karena ia tidak tenggelam. Mereka katakan kepada Mwif, GKami takut kalau kau tenggelam!" Mwif

katakan dengan tegas, uLihat Wrangkyauk yang tangannya kudung. la yang meno/ong saya

sehingga bisa selamat. Sekarang saya sampaikan untuk kita semua supaya kita bergaul satu sama

lain dengan baik-baik; dengan dia yang tangan kudung ini, bahkan siapa saja. Kita harus bergaul

dengan semua orang. "

Wrangkyauk Saves His Brother by Stevanus Nauw

Once there was a boy named Wrangkyauk. He had many brothers and sisters~ eleven in all. They were all healthy children, except for Wrangkyauk, who had a crooked arm. The others didn't want to play with him. When he tried to come play with them they told him "Go play by yourself Your arm isn't any good so how could you play with us?"

One day they plotted together saying, "Let's go play far away so Wrangkyauk won't see where we went, otherwise he'll follow us." So they decided to go swimming at the Ifas River. Wrangkyauk wanted to go with them and tried to follow. But they saw him and asked, "Where do you think you're going, little brother? If your arm was normal you could come and swim with us, but as it is you'd just drown!"

Wrangkyauk listened, but then followed along after them secretly. Then he got to thinking how he could swim too. He decided cut a pole with which to balance himself while he was in the water.

Meanwhile his siblings had reached the river, undressed and plunged in. Except for Mwif. Mwifwas-still young and didn't know he ought to undress before swimming. So he plunged in clothes and all! Bogged down by the weight of his wet clothes he shouted, "Help, I'm drowning!" Upon hearing this the others they saw he'd gotten into a very deep place where they didn't usually venture. So they got scared and ran away.

Fortunately Wrangkyauk ran over from his hiding place and went to help Mwif. He took his stick and reached out yelling to Mwif saying, "Little brother, grab hold of the stick and I'll pull you to safety!" Indeed, Wrankyauk was able to get his brother to shore. But

18

Mwifwas unconscious. Wrankyauk grabbed him by the feet and shook him upside down to get the water out ofMwif.

When he 'came to' Mwifsaid, "Last I remembered, I was drowning. Who rescued me?"

"I did" said Wrankyauk . . Mwif was very grateful that Wrankyauk had saved him and asked, "How in the

world did you manage?" "Do you see this stick? I held it out so you could grab it and I pulled you to

shore." The brothers who had earlier run away came back very scared, thinking

Wrankyauk had drowned. But they saw Mwif sitting there with Wrankyauk. "We thought you had drowned!" they said. "We were so scared!" And they

picked him up and hugged him. Mwif explained, "If it wasn't for our brother with the crooked arm, here, I would

have! Come on, let's all reconcile and be friendly with each other; people with crooked arms or anybody else. We ought to be friendly to everybody."

Yakob dan Fanus Membuat Sebuah Pondok

O/eh Stevanus Nauw

Setiap hari Yakob dan Fanus selalu bermain sama-sama. Pada suatu hari mereka membuat

rencana sambil berkata satu sama lain, "Kita dua sudah bergaul baik begini, jadi bagaimana kita

dua coba membuat pondok satu kah?" Waktu itu Fanus bertanya kepada Yakob, "Nanti kita

bangun pondok itu di mana?"Yakob berkata kepada Fanus, "Kami dua membangun pondok di

Hritmansya, supaya kita dua jauh dari bapak dan mama. Apalagi kita dua masih seko/ah di SMP

2 Ayamaru di Kambuaya ini. "Fanus bertanya, "Kapan akan kita dua membuat rumah itu?" Jawab

Yakob, "Besok sudah. "

Jadi pada pagi itu Fanus dan Yakob ketemu di tempat lalu jalan ke hutan untuk memotong

kayu. Lalu mereka membawa kayu tersebut ke

kampung dan menaruhnya. Kata mereka, "Besok

kita dua pergi potong rotan lagi." Setelah mereka

membawa barang-barang itu semuanya, mereka

melihat bahwa apa yang ada itu semua baik. Lalu

Fanus beritahukan kepada Yakob, "Semua barang

kita sudah taruh ini. Nanti pada hari minggu itu kita

dua masuk kebaktian dulu, lalu keluar kebaktian itu

kita pergi membangun. "Yakob berkata, "Va, baik

sekali."

Pada hari minggu berikutnya mereka keluar dari

kebaktian, lalu mereka pulang buka pakaian

sembayang, menyimpannya dengan baik, dan

mengganti pakaian kerja. Mereka pergi membangun pondok. Mereka bekerja terus, lalu pergi

mengambil seng dan menutup rumah itu sampai selesai. Seng yang tersisa itu mereka ambil

untuk menutup rumah sampai rumah selesai dibangun dengan seng yang ada.

Yakob berkata kepada Fanus, "Mari kita dua pergi ambil alat tulis dengan pakaian seko/ah

lagi! Datang lalu nanti kau tinggal di sebelah sini, baru saya tinggal di sebelah situ. " Mereka pergi

membawa mereka punya barang-barang semua. Salah satu orang sampaikan kepada dia punya

orang tua, "Bapak dan mama, jangan mencari kami dua lagi! Kami dua pergi tinggal di kami dua

punya rumah yang kami sudah bangun di Hritmansya. "

Tempat di mana mereka tinggal paling bagus sekali. Pagi-pagi mereka ke sekolah di SMP 2 di

Kambuaya. Wakru siang, mereka pulang dari sekolah, dan pergi mencari makanan sendiri.

Kembali ke rumah, mereka masak makanan lalu kerjakan tugas dari sekolah sampai mereka

tidur malam. Setiap hari mereka lakukan seperti begitu.

Suatu hari mereka tidur lalu tidak memasukkan ponton api baik- baik di dalam abu. Ponton api

tersebut menyala sampai kepada samping rumah lalu tebakar! Mereka turun dari pondok mereka

dan lari. Yakob tidak tahu ke mana Fanus berlari. Sehingga Yakob panggi/, "Fanus, Fanus, lihat

21

kau?" Fanus merasa takut dan berkata dengan nafas satu-satu, uYakob, Yakob, saya ini tidak apa­

apa. Tapi lihat kami dua punya barang- barang untuk se'kolah yang lebih penting!" Mereka melihat

semua barang telah terbakar habis, sehingga mereka pulang sama mama dan bapak di kampung.

Jacob and Steve Build a Tree House

by Stevanus Nauw

Jacob and Steve were good friends. They hung around together all the time. Once they made a plan, "We get along well, so let's build ourselves a tree house to live in."

Steve asked Jacob, "Where should we build it?" "At Hritmasya," answered Jacob, "that way we'll be far enough away from our

parents, yet close to the junior high in Kambuaya." "Well then, when should we start building this tree house of ours?" asked Steve. "Tomorrow," Jacob answered. So the next day they met up and went to the jungle to

cut wood. After cutting it they brought it back to the village. Then he said, "Tomorrow we'll go get the vine we need."

After they collected all the materials they needed, they looked at the pile and Steve said, "I think that's everything, Jacob! Tomorrow is Sunday. We'll go to church in the morning, then start building our house!"

Jacob agreed, "Sounds good to me!" So on Sunday they went to church. Then they went home to change out of their good

clothes. They folded them nicely and donned their work clothes. And then they went to work on the house. They worked and worked until everything but the roofwas done. Then they took the tin and finished off the roof

Jacob said, "Steve, let's go get our school stuff and our clothes! You can have this side of the room and that side will be mine." So off they went to get their things and move in. And one of them said to his folks, ''Now don't come looking for us! Because we're going to live on our own, in the tree house we built at Hritmansya."

The two boys enjoyed living there. Each morning they got up and went to school. They came home after school at mid-day and fixed a meal. They ate, and then went to sleep. They did this every day.

Until one night they didn't bank the fire well before going to bed. So the house caught fire and began to bum. The two boys woke-up and scrambled to safety. Jacob didn't see where Steve ran to so he called out, "Steve, Steve, are you all right?"

Steve was pretty badly shaken, and was relieved their lives had been spared. However he moaned, "Jacob, our clothes and our school sturn Everything we own is gone!" They stood back ~nd watched their house burn to the ground, then sadly walked back to live with their parents again.

Novi and Debo Go Fishing

by Stevanus Nauw

Novi and Debo were pupils at Frawaeh Elementary School. 7hey attended in the mornings. One day they got up, bathed, and dressed as usua/. Then got their school supplies and left for schOfJl. They came home alter school and changed into their play clothes. They were careful to put their schoolun~forms and books and pencils away properly. Then they sat down to eat the meal their parents had prepared for them. And Deho said, "Novi, I don't want to just sit around here, what about you? "

Novi replied, "Then let's go fishing." Debo said to her sister, "Okay, we can go fishing." "Lets go to Gkreririn Lake." Novi suggested.

24

So they got their fishing things and started otTwalking to Ngkreririn Lake. When they arrived Debo saw many canoes and said, "Novi, look at all the canoes! Which one is ours?"

Novi came and recognized their father, Elisa's canoe right away. She said, "This one is ours. Get in and we'll get started fishing."

They began paddling toward the fishing spot at the lake's outlet. There they fished until late afternoon. Seeing they had plenty of fish, Novi asked Debo, "Do you think we should be going?"

They agreed to go and started otTup the lake. By the time they had reached the middle the wind had really kicked up and the waves were getting big. After a time the canoe was swamped and they had to swim for shore leaving the canoe and their things behind. The water was so rough they barely made it to shore. Finally they climbed up onto the bank exhausted. They caught their breath and then began to wony about losing the canoe and their things. When the wind had calmed they saw their canoe bobbing in the water. So they swam out and pulled it to shore. There they bailed it out and paddled back to see if they could find any of their things. But everything was gone. It was getting dark so they gave up and paddled home.

25
