Teks yang dibacakan guru:
Please listen to me. Once there was a poor woodcutter who cried aloud. Do you know why? Yeah, . . . he had dropped his ax into a deep pond. Suddenly a friendly water spirit appeared before him with a silver ax and asked, “Is this yours?”
“No,” the woodcutter said.
The spirit returned with a golden ax. “Is this yours?” she asked again.
“No, it is not mine,” said the woodcutter.
Then, the spirit appeared with his plain wooden ax. “That one is mine!” said the woodcutter happily.
And you know what happened next? Well, the spirit said, “You’ve been so honest, so take the gold and silver axes too!”
On the way home, the woodcutter met a rich merchant. When the merchant heard the woodcutter’s story, he ran to the pond and dropped his wooden ax in. He also cried aloud.
The same thing happened. The spirit appeared with a silver ax. What was the merchant’s reply? Well, he shouted quickly, “That one is mine!”
“You know it is not,” said the spirit, and disappeared.
The rich man’s wooden ax stayed on the bottom of the deep pond.

Teks yang dibacakan guru:
Two hunters saw a wild goose fly overhead. As one of the hunters placed an arrow in his bow and aimed it at the goose, he said, “That goose will make a fine stew.”
“Stew!” said the other. “It would be far better to roast it.”
“Stewed!” said the first, putting down his arrow.
“Roasted!” replied the other.
The argument went on. “Let’s ask our clan leader to decide the best way to cook that goose.” The leader settled the
argument by suggesting that when they caught the goose, half should be stewed and half should be roasted. In that way, everyone’s needs would be met.
Pleased, the two hunters went out to shoot the wild goose, but by that time, the goose was safely long gone . . . .
